[English]
Jungle!
Sound of wild animals
Jungle!
...
Dance, dance
Dance until you leave your body
...
Dance, dance
We are animals in heat
...
I’m searching for an oasis
Where to swim
If your body gets cold
You seek warmth
My heart is dancing
I feel laughter, I feel fear
There’s a different world
Jungle and pain
...
Jungle, jungle!
...
Jungle!, sound of wild animals
Roar, tantor
Roar, tantor, Terán, steel tantor
...
Dance, dance
We are animals in heat
...
I’m searching for an oasis
Where to swim
If your body goes quiet
You seek to stop
My heart is dancing
I feel laughter, I feel fear
There’s a different world
Jungle and pain
My heart is dancing
I feel laughter, I feel fear
There’s a different world
Jungle and pain
...
I’m searching for an oasis
Where to swim
If your body goes quiet
You will stop
My heart is dancing
I feel laughter, I feel fear
There’s a different world
Jungle and pain
I’m searching for an oasis
Where to swim
If your body gets cold
You seek warmth
My heart is dancing
I feel laughter, I feel fear
There’s a different world
Jungle
