Tell me, buddy, tell me,
where are you heading?
Forgetting the guitar in your hand,
hey, where are you going?
Tell me, my friend, tell me,
I still haven't finished singing,
hey, while you write right in the middle!
Hey, just listen to me!
La la.. la la la la..
Lala.. la la. la la la la

Buddy, I'm telling you,
your lucky number came up,
but you didn't even pick it up!
Go on, you just don't realize it!
My friend, oh my friend,
your time right now is awesome,
and you don't even see it!
Go on, you just don't realize it!
Ah, go on, you just don't get it... go on!
Who is like me?
No one at all!
I am the star!
Who is like me?
No one at all!
I am the star!
