This time, I am not asking you to go out.
I am not asking you, my angel, to be with me.
Tonight,
That's right,
I am going to lie back like a dummy,
Who is speechless and who has no clout.
The ball is in your corner;
The ball is in your court.
It is evident that I am not too short
To play, and to shoot right at the center.
This time, I am neither asking
Nor begging; I am praying.
