[Intro: [?], [?] & Meklit Kibret]
Ho, when my heart stops beatin'
Whoa, when my heart stops beatin'

[Verse 1]
When I grow old, I'll drink and smoke
Like I did when youth stayed, youth stayed
Till the second round
When I grow old, the sun will cope
Shine on every youth stain, youth stain
Never settling down

[Chorus]
And no wonder I keep you close
'Cause you're the water to quench my throat
And if I never let you go
Will you keep me young
Keep me young

[Verse 2]
When I grow old, my weathered soul
Memories recluse, elusive
Help me take them out
So keep me young and call my bluffs
And help me out when you say, you say
There's no rules foretold
[Chorus 2]
Say I'm stronger and keep me close
And be the water and test my cold
And if I never let you go
Will you keep me young
Keep me young

[Outro]
And oh, when my heart stops beating
And my blood turns cold
And oh, when my heart stops beating
And my breath won't flow
And oh, when my heart stops beating
Ho—oo—oo—oo—
Oh, when my heart stops beating
And my breath won't flow
And oh, when my heart stops beating
When you go, I'll know I'm...
When I grow old, I'll drink and smoke
Just as long as you stay, you stay
I found a way out
