HOT (English Translation) Lyrics

[Intro]
I’m burning hot

[Verse 1]
A dangerous drive, switchin’ up the gear
Blazing sunset glow, you and my tears so
Don’t be afraid, no doubts at all
Take my hand, ’cause tonight we burn to shine, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Now hold me tight my dear in the scars we share
Inside our hearts
The engine’s stained in red if you remember me
The way I’m in your eyes forever

[Chorus]
I’m burning hot if I can live life my own way
Turning to ashes ain’t no problem
So tonight in your embrace
Bonnie and Clyde it, oh

[Post-Chorus]
Not running from it, not running from it
Flames rising high, I love it
Let me live
I’m burning hot

[Verse 2]
Just like a phoenix soaring across eternal skies
You’re just like a miracle making me dream again tonight
Once again, my embers glow hot, sprouting wings
Now hold me tight

[Pre-Chorus]
Throwing my body into flames, no hesitation, no regrets
It’s all right, we’re ride or die, yeah
The engine’s stained in red if you remember me
The way I’m in your eyes forever

[Chorus]
I’m burning hot if I can live life my own way
Turning to ashes ain’t no problem
So tonight in your embrace
Bonnie and Clyde it, oh

[Post-Chorus]
Not running from it, not running from it
Flames rising high, I love it
Let me live
I’m burning hot (I’m burning hot)

[Outro]
Oh
