(English Translation)
Like a cat on Mars My heart doesn't change Don't believe that, 'coz it's a lie
My daughter fled away at the age of 15 I did at 15 too, without umbrella In the distance before me there's a hole
Like a cat on Mars My heart doesn't change Don't believe that, 'coz it's a lie
O ye, brave soldiers who protected a single cub Horns too have a life on their own Ask yourselves if that horn's life changes
My clan has been loving seagulls for generations I can't prove it but I feel so lonely Because I AM a cat on Mars
