[English]
I am what I knew
I danced through the night
Sometimes my spirit is found again
And sometimes it's over
Who do I cling to?
All my heroes are gone
Only my enemies remain
Too bad if I was wrong
I am what I knew
I bathed in it in the evenings
I feel everything is about to change
I saw the sky so low
I crossed many lives
All my heroes are gone
I saw the emptiness there
I still cling to it
I am what I knew
I danced there one night
I descended
Every river
Far from the Judases
And false brothers
There will be
A step from you
When the night
Falls near us
I know everything's about to change
I danced through the night
I spied as much as I could
And now I know
Who do I cling to?
All my heroes are gone
Only my enemies remain
Bless my remorse
Everything is changing
I see the sky so low
I am what I knew
I danced there one night
I descended
Every river
Far from the Judases
And false brothers
There will be
A step from you
When the night
Falls near us
Yes
Yes
Yes
It’s me
Yes
Yes
Yes
Here you go
