Tamino on “Sunflower”: “I’ve always been fascinated with mythology and religious stories since I was a kid.

[Verse 1 : Tamino]

Reaching into the clouds
Ever young and ever growing

Everything for your love
[Verse 3 : Angèle]
Every day I’m getting closer to you

I know love does not come easy
Oh there must be someone who hears me
[Chorus : Tamino & Angèle]
Oh baby, don’t you notice me?
Notice me, so ready to lose everything, everything
Oh baby, don’t you notice me?
Notice me, so ready to lose everything
Everything for your love
[Bridge : Tamino & Angèle]
For your love
Your love
[Verse 4 : Tamino, Both]
Now I water the ground in which she stands
And shield her from every storm
For if I don’t we might go under
Forever bound asunder
No god above who will wonder
What about us?
