[English]

Don't run from me, river

Don't run from me, river, river

No, don't run from me, river

Don't run from me, river, river

Look, you can play it cool

Act like you don't care

River, don't be cruel

You're pushing me away

Don't want to get hurt

So you hurt me first

With the words you say

Maybe you should fall

That's what rivers do

'Cause when you're in love

You don't mind a different view

Things are looking up

Oh river (river, river) don't run (run, run)

Don't run (river, river)

Don't run (run, run)

Oh river (river, river) don't run (run, run)

Don't run (river, river) from our love (run, run)

Look, darling, don't give up

When the water's rough

Where you gonna go?

My heart is your home

Nothing is as cold

As running on your own

So river, don't you rush

Maybe you should fall

That's what rivers do

'Cause when you're in love

You don't mind a different view

Things are looking up

Oh river (river, river) don't run (run, run)

Don't run (river, river)

Don't run (run, run)

Oh river (river, river) don't run (run, run)

Don't run (river, river) from our love (run, run)

Don't run from me, river

Don't run from me, river, river

No, don't run from me, river

Don't run from me, river, river

No, don't run from me, river

Don't run from me, river, river

No, don't run from me, river

Maybe you should fall

That's what rivers do
