[English]

You're the light, you're the night You're the color of my blood

You're the cure, you're the pain You're the only thing I wanna touch

Never knew that it could mean so much, so much

You're the fear, I don't care 'Cause I've never been so high

Follow me through the dark Let me take you past our satellites

You can see the world you brought to life, to life

So love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do

Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do

What are you waiting for?

Fading in, fading out On the edge of paradise

Every inch of your skin, is a Holy Grail I've gotta find

Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire
