[FULL LYRICS – ROMANIZATION & ENGLISH ONLY]
English Translation
Take me into your deep
I wanna lay in your world
So what, your shadow’s a mess
I’m walkin’ with my own dirt
I wanna lay in your world
So what, your shadow’s a mess
I’m walkin’ with my own dirt
We can go all night
Don’t you close your eyes
Don’t you fear the light
All night
Don’t you close your eyes
Don’t you fear the light
All night
If you wanna be animals
Baby, we can be animals
Eat this life ’til your heart is full
If you want, you can have it all
Baby, we can be animals
Eat this life ’til your heart is full
If you want, you can have it all
Six feet down in the sand
There’s creatures that made a hole
Do speak, I’m begging you, please
There’s beauty outside control
There’s creatures that made a hole
Do speak, I’m begging you, please
There’s beauty outside control
Oh, we can go all night
We can go all night
Yeah, we should go all night
All night
We can go all night
Yeah, we should go all night
All night
If you wanna be animals
Baby, we can be animals
Eat this life ’til your heart is full
If you want, you can have it all
Baby, we can be animals
Eat this life ’til your heart is full
If you want, you can have it all
Got you in the wild
Somewhere so far
With your claws sharp
And them fangs out
Somewhere so far
With your claws sharp
And them fangs out
Now you see a whole land full of animals
None of us are tameable
None of us are tameable
Heart untameable
None of us are tameable
None of us are tameable
Heart untameable
Go and take it all
If you wanna be animals
Baby, we can be animals
Eat this life ’til your heart is full
If you want, you can have it all
