And even if you say goodbye
You'll never go away
Or the rainbow in my sky
My colors, in the gray
My only wish on a star
Sunshine, or the day
The only song that my piano ever plays
And even if you say goodbye
You'll always be around
To life me up and take me high
Get my feet close to the ground
Are you proud of me tonight?
Dreams are coming true
I choose the light, nothing to lose if I lose you
New day will rise, life will go on
Everyone cries, don't cry alone
Darkness will fade, all the pain will go by
But wе will stay, even if you say "Goodbye"
Et mêmе si tu dis adieu
Tu ne partiras jamais
T'es l'arc-en-ciel de mon ciel bleu
Mes couleurs dans le gris
Et mon seul souhait sous un ciel d'art
Un rayon dans ma journée
La seule chanson que mon piano peut jouer
New day will rise, life will go on
Everyone cries, don't cry alone
Darkness will fade, all the pain will go by
But we will stay, even if you say
New day will rise, life will go on
Everyone cries, don't cry alone
Darkness will fade, all the pain will go by
But we will stay, along with my life
Mim ravim le yechvu et ha'ahava
Venharot, le yeshtefeh
New day will rise
Everyone cries, don't cry alone
Darkness will fade, all the pain will go by
But we will stay, even if you say goodbye
New day will rise
New day will rise
And even if you say goodbye
You'll never go away
Or the rainbow in my sky
My colors, in the gray
My only wish on a star
Sunshine, or the day
The only song that my piano ever plays
And even if you say goodbye
You'll always be around
To life me up and take me high
Get my feet close to the ground
Are you proud of me tonight?
Dreams are coming true
I choose the light, nothing to lose if I lose you
New day will rise, life will go on
Everyone cries, don't cry alone
Darkness will fade, all the pain will go by
But wе will stay, even if you say "Goodbye"
And even if you say goodbye
You will never leave
You are the rainbow in my blue sky
My colors in the gray
And my only wish in a sky of art
A ray in my day
The only song that my piano can play
New day will rise, life will go on
Everyone cries, don't cry alone
Darkness will fade, all the pain will go by
But we will stay, even if you say
New day will rise, life will go on
New day will rise
Everyone cries, don't cry alone
Darkness will fade, all the pain will go by
But we will stay, even if you say goodbye
New day will rise
New day will rise
Everyone cries, don't cry alone
Darkness will fade, all the pain will go by
But we will stay, along with my life
Many rivers cannot quench love
Nor can rivers sweep it away
New day will rise
Everyone cries, don't cry alone
Darkness will fade, all the pain will go by
But we will stay, even if you say goodbye
New day will rise
New day will rise
