Scala’s version of Hungriges Herz (Hungry Heart) by MIA, a German pop band. This is a sad song about someone who’s heart has been broken yet still longs for that person. With only the piano for accompaniment, Scala captures the essence of the original nicely. The woman in the video is Mieze Katz, lead singer for MIA. The male lead is Andi Penn, guitarist for MIA.

-- Lyrics (translated from German) --
Your saccharine red mouth sucks all the words around
Even in a fight, your lips don’t lie
On your red-hot cheeks I burn my fingers
Even if you throw me on the ground, I am the winner
What is wrong with my will, you make my will will-less
You’re ice - cold as ice [2x]
My hungry heart is passed trough by a bittersweet sorrow
Tell me how far, how far, how far, how far you want to go
My hungry heart is passed trough by a bittersweet sword
Tell me how far, how far, how far, how far will you go
Your eyes see through me to someone else
If your hands touch me, they pursue a plan
With your rough angels tongue you intrude to me
You hold me tight what’s all this good for, if I push back, you let me go
You’re ice - cold as ice [2x]
My hungry heart is passed trough by a bittersweet sorrow
Tell me how far, how far, how far, how far you want to go
My hungry heart is passed trough by a bittersweet sword
Tell me how far, how far, how far, how far will you go
Tell me how far, how far, how far, how far, how far, how far, how far, how far, how far, how far, how far
Tell me how far, how far, how far, how far, will you go [3x]
