[English]

I see you standing there

A student atmosphere

Smell of your aftershave

Tree blossom in the rain

You flip around your hair

As if you're unaware

But you should know

That I'm looking at you

You make me feel like I'm made of colors

Just you and me, ignore the others

Do you believe in one time lovers

'Cause I do, I do

I do, I do, I do

Believe in lovers like me and you

Yeah you just keep on dancing all night out on the roof

Tell everybody I do (I do)

Baby I do, I do, I do

Wanna stay here and let loose, let loose, let loose

Just keep on loving all night out on the roof

Tell everybody I do ('Cause, I do)

...

Tell everybody I do

I do

Keep drowning in those eyes

Think I have memorized

Oh every single flair

Inside your burning stare

Just wanna be inside

Keep dancing in your mind

You'll be my night time Valentine

You make me feel like I'm made of colors

Just you and me, ignore the others

Do you believe in one time lovers

'Cause I do, I do

I do, I do, I do

Believe in lovers like me and you

Yeah you just keep on dancing all night out on the roof

Tell everybody I do (I do)

Baby I do, I do, I do

Wanna stay here and let loose, let loose, let loose

Just keep on loving all night out on the roof

Tell everybody I do ('Cause, I do)

...

Tell everybody I do

I do

Baby I do, I do, I do

Wanna stay here and let loose, let loose, let loose

Just keep on loving all night out on the roof

Tell everybody I do ('Cause, I do)

You make me feel, I'm made of colors

Just you and me, ignore the others

Do you believe, in one time lovers

'Cause I do, I do, I do (I do, I do, I do)

Wanna stay here and let loose, let loose, let loose

Just keep on loving all night out on the roof

Tell everybody I do (I do, yeah 'cause I do, oh)
