[Verse 1]
You said some words, didn't hear you fall asleep
People were talking louder from my TV screen
[Pre-Chorus]
I heard them scream, it was too dark to see
[Chorus]
Don't cry
I'll try to say the right words at the right times
Sing you lullabies
Please, don't wake up, wake up
[Verse 2]
Used to think we live in a world so beautiful
You see, I think I don't believe in this stuff anymore
[Chorus]
Don't cry
I'll try to say the right words at the right times
Sing you lullabies
Please, don't wake up, wake up
Don't cry
I'll try to say the right words at the right times
Sing you lullabies
Please, don't wake up, wake up
[Bridge]
Plеase, don't make me wakе
Don't make me wake (Please)
Don't make me wake (Don't wake up, wake up)
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Aijā, aijā
Saldā miegā
Aijā, aijā
Saldā miegā
