Lyrics[]
Mi bomo celo noč plesali,
ljubili se in se igrali,
kot da nas jutri več ne bo.
Vedno manj besed, tanek led pod nogami žge, mi pa bežimo s prepiha.
810.000 let moraš delat' le, da duša malo zadiha.
An ban, pet podgan.
Ti loviš, če preživiš.
Jaz ti bom vzel vse, ti ničesar ne dobiš.
Si tega res želiš?
Igra sovraštva je za vas, hvala lepa, ne računajte na nas.
Na nas.
Mi bomo celo noč plesali,
ljubili se in se igrali,
kot da nas jutri več ne bo.
Ne bomo šteli ur do zore,
preskakovali bomo gore,
da nas objame nebo.
Prvi dež odplaknil ves bo blišč, da ne bi kradel magije s plesišč, tema bo prižgala žar v očeh.
Igra sovraštva je za vas, hvala lepa, ne računajte na nas.
Še bolj na glas.
Mi bomo celo noč plesali,
ljubili se in se igrali,
kot da nas jutri več ne bo.
Ne bomo šteli ur do zore,
preskakovali bomo gore,
sprejeli, da smo večni samo in srečni samo, ko objema nas nebo.
Vso noč do jutra smo plesali.
Ljubili se in se igrali.
Živeli, kot da jutri nas mogoče več ne bo.
We'll dance the night away
Make love and play
As if tomorrow we will be gone
There are fewer and fewer words
The thin ice burns under our feet
And we run away from the draft
You have to work for 810,000 years just to let your soul breathe a little
An ban, five rats
You hunt if you survive
I'll take everything from you, you get nothing
Do you really want this?
The Hate Game is for you, thank you very much, don't count on us
On us
We'll dance the night away
make love and play
as if tomorrow we will be gone
We will not count the hours until dawn
we will skip mountains
to be embraced by the sky
The first rain will wash away all the glitter
So it doesn't steal the magic from the dance floors
The darkness will light the grill in the eyes
The Hate Game is for you, thank you very much, don't count on us
Even more out loud
We'll dance the night away
Make love and play
As if tomorrow we will be gone
We will not count the hours until dawn
We will skip mountains
Accepted that we are only eternal and happy
Only when the sky embraces us
We danced all night until morning
They made love and played
Live as if tomorrow we might be gone
