[English]

Shining like a supernova, brightest of the stars

From another galaxy like Jupiter and Mars

A thousand light years, you call to me

It's supernatural, your energy

New horizons, new galaxy

I'm coming for ya, your gravity, oh

Bring it back, bring it back, like a rocket

Bring it back, bring it back, never stop it

Bring it back, bring it back, start ignition to your heart

(Three, two, one)

Baby, all I need

Is just a little bit of your starlight (bit of your starlight)

Shining on me

I never knew an aura was so bright, so bright, oh

Shining like a supernova, brightest of the stars (the stars)

From another galaxy, like Jupiter and Mars

Baby, all I need

Is just a little bit of your starlight

You're my supernova

There ain't nobody on planet Earth

The way you got me, I'm on my way to your dimension

You know your spaceship, boy, takе me there

So еlectric, you can't compare, oh

Bring it back, bring it back, like a rocket

Bring it back, bring it back, never stop it

Bring it back, bring it back, start ignition to your heart

(Three, two, one)

Baby, all I need

Is just a little bit of your starlight (bit of your starlight)

Shining on me

I never knew an aura was so bright, so bright, oh

Shining like a supernova, brightest of the stars (the stars)

From another galaxy like Jupiter and Mars

Baby, all I need

Is just a little bit of your starlight

You're my supernova

Baby you

Brightest of the stars

Jupiter to Mars

Oh, no

Shining like a supernova, brightest of the stars

From another galaxy like Jupiter and Mars

Shining like a supernova, brightest of the stars

From another galaxy like Jupiter and Mars

Baby, all I need

Is just a little bit of your starlight (bit of your starlight)

Shining on me

I never knew an aura was so bright, so bright, oh

Shining like a supernova, brightest of the stars (the stars)

From another galaxy, like Jupiter and Mars

Baby, all I need

Is just a little bit of your starlight

You're my supernova
