Lyrics translation:

Close your eyes and dance lightly and sweetly
Life is the lady and you are the man
Seeing how good you are
She will worship you
But if you look down at your feet
You will fall.
Why arent you playing my beloved boy?
Neither a policeman nor a thief in a gang?
Play a lion, a fox or even a gazelle
Life is a jungle, after all.
Dont force a man or give him choices
His mind is confused enough already
What he dreams to possess today
Is exactly what he would want to
Change tomorrow.
What a weird world!
