English
Let's step on the gas, there will be no need to bargain Go through night

I will only complain at the end

The balance will be zero It waste our days

If you open your heart a little And bring your partner close to you

Your feelings will reach your partner better

Try to live long and squeez it away Although these legs get entangled with each other, I'm able to go further with them

Even if I steal it and I get a hold of it If it's not you there is no meaning

So go far away into the distance
