[English]

You had my heart

And we'll never be apart

Oh, maybe in magazines

But you'll still be my star

Baby, because in the dark

You can't see shiny cars

And that's when you need me there

With you, I'll always share

Because

When the sun shines, we'll shine together

Told you I’d be here forever

That I’ll always be your friend

I swear, I’ll stick with you till the very end

Now that it’s pouring more than ever

Just know we still have each other

You can stand under my umbrella

You can stand under my umbrella

You can stand under my umbrella

Hey, hey, hey, hey

These fancy things

Will never come between us

You’re part of my soul

Here for eternity

When the war has taken its toll

When the world deals its cards

If life gets tough

Together, we’ll heal your heart

Because

When the sun shines, we’ll shine together

Told you I’d be here forever

That I’ll always be your friend

I swear, I’ll stick with you till the very end

Now that it’s pouring more than ever

Just know we still have each other

You can stand under my umbrella

You can stand under my umbrella

You can stand under my umbrella

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Run into my arms

It’s okay, don’t be alarmed

Come to me

There’s no distance in our love

Let the rain come down

I’ll be all you need and more

You can stand, you can stand

You can stand, you can stand

You can, you can, stand, stand

When the sun shines, we’ll shine together

Told you I’d be here forever

That I’ll always be your friend

I swear, I’ll stick with you till the very end

Now that it’s pouring more than ever

Just know we still have each other

You can stand under my own umbrella

You can stand under my own umbrella

You can stand under my own umbrella

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

When the sun shines, we’ll shine together

Told you I’d be here forever

That I’ll always be your friend

I swear, I’ll stick with you till the very end

Now that it’s pouring more than ever

Just know we still have each other

You can stand under my umbrella

You can stand under my umbrella

You can stand, you can stand, you can stand

You can stand, you can stand, you can stand

You can stand, you can stand, you can stand

Oh, oh, oh, oh (oh, you can stand)

You can stand, you can stand, you can stand (oh, you can stand)

You can stand, you can stand, you can stand (oh, you can stand)

You can stand, you can stand, you can stand

Under my umbrella

You can stand, you can stand, you can stand

Umbrella
