[English]

How deep is the ocean? How deep is your love?

I have a love in my eyes

And how do I feel when you can't get enough

Half-way to your paradise

Oh, my love is your love

Forever and a day

...

You are not alone I'll be there for you

You are not alone anything I'll do

You are not alone you're the one for me

You are not alone that's no tragedy

You are not alone you're the one for me

You are not alone nothing comes for free

...

You're breaking the silence, you're breaking my heart

You're like a rose in the snow

I talk in my sleep, I don't tear apart

Baby, I'll never will go

Oh, my love is your love

Forever and a day

You are not alone I'll be there for you

You are not alone anything I'll do

You are not alone you're the one for me

You are not alone that's no tragedy

You are not alone you're the one for me

You are not alone nothing comes for free

...

You are not alone I'll be there for you

You are not alone anything I'll do

You are not alone you're the one for me

You are not alone that's no tragedy

You are not alone you're the one for me

You are not alone nothing comes for free

...
