[English]

[Applause]

I've been walking

through the fire.

Every step

burns deeper.

The weight of love

it pulls me down.

Chasing dreams still lost and bound.

My sacrifice

for a love so true.

I gave it all just to be with you.

Through the storm, through the endless

fight,

[Music]

I'll keep on fighting

for you tonight.

My sacriice.

My sacriice.

In the shadows,

I paid the price.

Fighting every day. Rolling the dice.

You don't know the cost of my soul.

Just to make

you feel whole.

My sacrifice

for a love so true.

I gave it all just to be with you.

Through the stor

endless fight

I'll keep on fighting

for you tonight.

My sacriice.

[Music]

My sacriice.

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

I've built this path with my own hands.

Through the rubble, I take my stand.

With every tear, I've paved the way for

you to love me just for one day.

[Music]

My sacrifice

for a love so true.

I gave it all just to be with you.

Through the storm, through the endless

fight,

I'll keep on fighting

for you tonight.

My sacriice.

My sacriice.

My sacrifice.

[Music]

My sacrifice.

[Music]

My sacrifice.

[Music]
