BALASANA Lyrics (English Translation) – Sobel
[Verse 1]
I can’t count how many times I’ve given in to temptation
I want to ride with you from Wroclaw to Gdansk, to wh*re in a tour bus
You know very well what’s going on here, here, here, here
In my head I only have a pu*sy, a pu*sy, your pu*sy
I don’t know what to call it, you call me whatever you want
I’ll accept anything, just from among those nasty
Only nasty, as if I sent you to a newsstand
As if you had a connection in Nestle, tell me what you like, what she likes
What color is it, write as soon as possible when you’re going
[Chorus]
Sam
I know what you’re like when you are alone
You allow more when you are alone
You like to send pictures when you are alone
Tell me what you do with your hand when you are alone
What would you do if you were not alone?
What would you say if you were not alone?
I know how you feel, I know how it is, you’re not alone
I know how you feel, I know how—
[Verse 2]
(Yeah) Face down
Ass up like Rocky, overlooking the terrace
You baby use me
Fu*k me in the face, make me feel like a wh*re, wh*re
Show me you love me, love me, you, you, you
Show me, show me, I just want to die and cry
Record a TikTok show where you suck my Tic-Tac
Yeah, yeah, yeah, spoil me, spit on me, baby judge me and punish me
Fu*k, love me, hate me, fu*k, put me to bed
Just buy me, make me, use me up, yeah
Take me like you don’t no time, like you took me at once
Leave it for later, then do it a second time
If you want, keep it permanently, so you don’t have to sleep anymore
[Chorus]
Alone
I know how you are when you’re alone
You allow more when you’re alone
You like sending pictures when you’re alone
Tell me what you do with your hand when you’re alone
What would you do if you weren’t alone?
What would you say if you weren’t alone?
I know how you feel, I know how it is, you’re not alone
I know how you feel, I know how—
[Outro]
(Write when you’re alone, write when you’re alone)
I know how you are when you’re alone
(Write when you want)
You allow more when you’re alone
(Write when you’re alone, write how)
Do you like sending pictures when you’re alone
(Write how, write how, write how)
Tell me what you do with your hand when you’re alone?
(Write when you’re alone)
What would you do if you weren’t alone?
(Write when you want)
What would you say if you weren’t alone?
(Write how you will be, write how)
I know how you feel, I know how it is, you are not alone
(Write how, write how)
Because I know how you feel, I know how
