Round and Round, Like a Merry Go-Round

I really wish I could actually understand what the singer(s) are saying in this song. I have a hard time understanding what the song is actually about when all I can hear is the music. Usually, I don't dislike a song only because I can't understand the lyrics. On the contrary, there are several songs I like only because of the music, and I listen to many songs in other languages. One bias I have might be the music, which in this one sounds very...old. Old isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I find that I tend to dislike songs that sound older, though not always songs that sound heavily synthetic, as this song does. When I first listened to this song, I actually placed it as being from the 80s or 90s, though it's not hard to see how I wasn't right; I'm not really an expert on that kind of thing. Really, more so that anything, I disliked this song because of a combination of things-the old-ish sounding music, and because I have no idea what the lyrics are when first listening to it.
