[English]
Spreading out on a fresh green carpet
Snow-white fishes are swimming in the skies
It makes me doze off in sweetness
I close my ruby cast eyes for now
I hear you
Run run
As fast as you can
You have no time to lose
You won’t get to anywhere
You have no idea
I'm not losing I'm just trying not to get there super fast
There are too many moments of happiness to just rush
Dwelling on the happy moments
I'm going to stroll
One step two step
Taking every
step nice and gentle
🐰
Resting on the burgundy ground
Floral fishes are swimming in the lake
It makes my mind go blank and
I forget where I was heading to for now
I hear you
Run run
You will fall behind
You have nothing but a dream
You will end up losing
You will be forgotten
You have no idea
I'm not losing I'm just trying not to get there super fast
There are too many moments of happiness to just rush
Dwelling on the happy moments
I'm going to stroll
One step two step
Taking every
step nice and gentle
I'm not losing I'm just trying not to get there super fast
There are too many moments of happiness to just rush
Dwelling on the happy moments
I'm going to stroll
One step two step
Taking every
step nice and gentle
🐰
