[English]

You and I 'til the end, don't need to pretend

Again and again, we'll stick together

Everything is alright, with you by my side

We won't say goodbye, we'll stick together

...

We'll stick together

I can pick you up

When you're heading down

When it all just sucks

I'll be your Charlie Brown

You can make me laugh

When I want to cry

In a world gone mad

We're on an all-time high

And it wouldn't be the same without you

We have yet so many stupid things to do

You're the only thing I'm holding on to

Anywhere and anything

I'll be there

You and I 'til the end, don't need to pretend

Again and again, we'll stick together

Everything is alright, with you by my side

We won't say goodbye, we'll stick together

...

We'll stick together

...

We'll stick together

...

I can pick you up

When you're heading down

When it all just sucks

I'll be your Charlie Brown

You can make me laugh

When I want to cry

In a world gone mad

We're on an all-time high (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

You and I 'til the end, don't need to pretend

Again and again, we'll stick together

Everything is alright, with you by my side

We won't say goodbye, we'll stick together (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

And it wouldn't be the same without you

We have yet some many stupid things to do (stick together)

You're the only thing I'm holding on to

Anywhere and anything

We'll stick together

...
