The English lyrics
Striving, future, a beautiful star
Striving, future, a beautiful star
Striving, future, a beautiful star
Striving, future, a beautiful star
It’s a lucky day when the laundry is empty today
So I can say bye-bye to the nasty oil stains
Who is it? Who is it? The voice calling me from my head
I want that one, I want this one, I keep singing
I want to be happy
I want to live a relaxed life
I want to use this hand to grab
What’s in your chest
Bury me in happiness
Until I rest in peace, we all go forward together
The good place called hell that I saw that day
Let’s spread love there
I love you, despise me all you want
Take everything away from me and laugh at me my honey
Striving, future, a beautiful star
Striving, future, a beautiful star
Striving, future, a beautiful star
Always feel like I’ve accidentally forgotten something
Striving, future, a beautiful star
Striving, future, a beautiful star
Striving, future, a beautiful star
Striving, future, a beautiful star
Yo, yo, yo, count to three and open the soda water
Hungry that doesn’t heal
The life that is about to vomit
There are no rain that never stops so give me the umbrella first
I want that, I want this, I want everything
But all is just emptiness
I want to be happy
I want to live a relaxed life
I want to make a mess of everything
I want to make all this and then disappear
In your chest
Bury me in luckiness
Until I rest in peace, we all go forward together
If it’s a paradise where only good kids are welcome
Then I really can’t live
I love you, despise me all you want
Take everything away from me and laugh at me my honey
Striving, future, a beautiful star
Striving, future, a beautiful star
Striving, future, a beautiful star
Always feel like I’ve accidentally forgotten something
Happy, lucky
How are you all?
I want to be a good boy
But that’s boring, right?
Happy, lucky
Hello, baby so sweet
Striving, future, a beautiful star
Striving, future, a beautiful star
Striving, future, a beautiful star
Always feel so comfortable
Striving, future, a beautiful star
Striving, future, a beautiful star
Striving, future, a beautiful star
Striving, future, a beautiful star
