Za'u oe fru iknimaya

Za'u oe fru iknimaya

Nìftxavang ting mikyun, ting nari

...

I found a light inside me

I wanna let it glow

Keep shining right beside me

Follow where I go

So when the thunder comes and

The storm becomes the night

I'll guide you through the lightning

Stay close by my side

Za'u oe fru iknimaya

Nìftxavang ting mikyun, ting nari

Tompayä kato, tsawkeyä kato

Sì 'ekong te'lanä oeru teya si

Za'u oe fru iknimaya

Nìftxavang ting mikyun, ting nari

Tompayä kato, tsawkeyä kato

Sì 'ekong te'lanä oeru teya si

...

I found a light inside me

I wanna let it glow

Keep shining right beside me

Follow where I go

So when the thunder comes and

The storm becomes the night

I'll guide you through the lightning

Stay close by my side

Up in the clouds, I found my voice

Up past the shouts and broken noise

So don't let me fall

Where I don't belong

I can't go back and lose it all

...
