Lyrics[]

And even if you say goodbye
You'll never go away
You are the rainbow in my sky
My colors in the grey
My only wish upon a star
Sunshine in the day
The only song that my piano ever plays

And even if you say goodbye
You'll always be around
To life me up and take me high
Keep my feet close to the ground
Are you proud of me tonight?
Dreams are coming true
I choose the light, nothing to lose if I lose you

New day will rise, life will go on
Everyone cries, don't cry alone
Darkness will fade, all thе pain will go by
But we will stay, even if you say goodbyе

Et même si tu dis adieu
Tu ne partiras jamais
T'es l'arc-en-ciel de mon ciel bleu
Mes couleurs dans le gris
Et mon seul souhait sous un ciel d'art
Un rayon dans ma journée
La seule chanson que mon piano peut jouer

New day will rise, life will go on
Everyone cries, don't cry alone
Darkness will fade, all the pain will go by
But we will stay, even if you say
New day will rise, life will go on
Everyone cries, don't cry alone
Darkness will fade, all the pain will go by
But we will stay the love of my life

מים רבים לא יכבו
את האהבה ונהרות, לא ישטפוה

New day will rise
Everyone cries, don't cry alone
Darkness will fade, all the pain will go by
But we will stay

Even if you say goodbye
A new day will rise
New day will rise

And even if you say goodbye
You'll never go away
You are the rainbow in my sky
My colors in the grey
My only wish upon a star
Sunshine in the day
The only song that my piano ever plays

And even if you say goodbye
You'll always be around
To life me up and take me high
Keep my feet close to the ground
Are you proud of me tonight?
Dreams are coming true
I choose the light, nothing to lose if I lose you

New day will rise, life will go on
Everyone cries, don't cry alone
Darkness will fade, all thе pain will go by
But we will stay, even if you say goodbyе

And even if you say goodbye
You’ll never leave
You’re the rainbow in my blue sky
My colors in the gray
And my only wish under a sky of art
A ray in my day
The only song my piano can play

New day will rise, life will go on
Everyone cries, don't cry alone
Darkness will fade, all the pain will go by
But we will stay, even if you say
New day will rise, life will go on
Everyone cries, don't cry alone
Darkness will fade, all the pain will go by
But we will stay the love of my life

Many waters cannot extinguish
Love, nor can rivers sweep it away

New day will rise
Everyone cries, don't cry alone
Darkness will fade, all the pain will go by
But we will stay

Even if you say goodbye
A new day will rise
New day will rise
