[English]

She'll let you in her house

If you come knocking late at night

She'll let you in her mouth

If the words you say are right

If you pay the price

She'll let you deep inside

But there's a secret garden she hides

...

She'll let you in her car

To go drivin' 'round

She'll let you into the parts of herself

That'll bring you down

She'll let you in her heart

If you got a hammer and a vise

But into the secret garden, don't think twice

...

You've gone a million miles

How far'd you get?

That place where you can't remember

And you can't forget

She'll lead you down the path

There'll be tenderness in the air

She'll let you come just far enough

So you know she's really there

And she'll look at you and smile

And her eyes will say

...

She's got a secret garden

Where everything you want

Where everything you need

Will always stay

A million miles away

...
