Away, away
Away, away

Time is running
Though I'm young
Through my window
I see the day falling
Will the promise be held?
For at dawn I see the unfolding

I don't give up
I don't give up, baby
I feel the pain, feel the pain
But I'm alive, I'm alive

Why should I be racing
Why should I be racing
My fate of flames, my fate of flames?
Why should I be racing
Should I be racing
My fate of flames, my fate of flames?

Away, away
Away, away

Aina wayeke, aina wayeke
Aina wayeke, aina wayeke
Ogoroiña agayu chola aina wayeke
Aina wayeke, aina wayeke

Away, away
Away, away
