How can it be that you love her?

It was alchemy to sing to me your freedom song

All these words you speak to me

Are from a foreign land

You're telling me that birds don't fly

How can it be that you love her?

You don't have to raise your voice

I still don't understand

There's me and you, and you and me

So how can it be that you love her?

It was alchemy

To sing to me your freedom song

To make love where there was none

Alchemy, now it's all gone

And she is the golden one
