[English]

Starlight shimmers everywhere

There's a certain something in the air

Can you feel what I feel in me?

It's in the air, electricity oh, oh

Glimmering under neon lights

I can see the look, that's in your eyes

Like a shooting star in a galaxy

Making its way to the heart of me

I'm the one

Love me, love me, love me, love me

I'm the one

Love me, love me, love me, love me

I'm the one

Love me, love me, love me, love me

I'm the one

Love me, love me, love me, love me

My pulse is racing and I'm feeling high

Never-ending starts tonight

When you do what you do to me

Come on and let yourself feel the need in me, oh, oh

Circling and we're getting close

Can you imagine, just suppose

It's a feeling that I need to know

Close to touch like Michelangelo

I'm the one

Love me, love me, love me, love me

I'm the one

Love me, love me, love me, love me

I'm the one

Love me, love me, love me, love me

I'm the one

Love me, love me, love me, love me

Can you hear me?

I'm connecting with you

Can you feel me?

I'll do anything to have you near me

I was wondering, will you reach me?

Can you hear me?

I'm connecting with you

Can you feel me?

I'll do anything to have you near me

I was wondering, will you reach me?

I'm the one

Can you hear me?

I'm connecting with you

Can you feel me?

I'll do anything to have you near me

I was wondering, will you reach me?

I'm the one

Can you hear me?

I'm connecting with you

Can you feel me?

I'll do anything to have you near me

I was wondering, will you reach me?
