[English]

I sense there's something in the wind

That feels like tragedy's at hand

And though I'd like to stand by him

Can't shake this feeling that I have

The worst is just around the bend

And does he notice, my feelings for him?

And will he see, how much he means to me?

I think it's not to be

What will become of my dear friend?

Where will his actions lead us then?

Although I'd like to join the crowd

In their enthusiastic cloud

Try as I may it doesn't last

And will we ever, end up together?

Oh

...

...

And will we ever

End up together?

No, I think not, it's never to become

For I am not the one

...
