Ohhh Jennifer, we will go to Pont Aeri together
And we'll fight for our forbidden love
Uooh Jennifer
Close minds try to stop us
repeat the story of Juliet and Romeo
don't they see time will prove us right?
Love is superior to any fear, any grudge
and they tell us that we have our heart divided
between love, the country, the homeland against desire
But I can't see anything, I only see the bigger picture
There is not human force that can prevent us from being together.
Ohhh, Jennifer, I will pimp my ride for y ou
Ohhh Jennifer, we will go to Pont Aeri together
And we'll fight for our forbidden love
Uooh Jennifer
and we'll fight for our forbidden love
Uooh Jennifer
