[English]

Get a girl, or get a boy

One plus one

Take 'em right down to the shore

One plus one

Give your all and give some more

One plus one

Let the music free your soul

(Yeah Banx & Ranx)

Sway with me to the light

Hold me for just one night

Hold me for just one night, oh

We live for the beat

Baby, you're all I need

Baby, you're all I need, oh

Tous les sons qui vont éclore

One plus one

De nos âmes multicolores

One plus one

Face à l'ironie du sort

Sans effort

Pourraient nous mettre d'accord

One plus one

Tu peux danser comme tu veux

Sous le soleil quand il pleut

Sous le soleil quand il pleut

C'est vrai si t'imagines

Every day's a holiday

Let the beat take you away

Let the beat take you today

Baby, this is magic

Si à deux on est plus fort

One plus one

Et si nos yeux brillent encore

One plus one

Je crois bien que j'veux ta voix

One plus one

Je suis sûr que j'veux t'avoir

One plus one

Toutes les coordonnées

De mon cœur sont données

De l'amour sont données (oh)

La nuit va s'en aller

Me laisse pas m'en aller

Me laisse pas m'en aller (oh)

So I'm taking you away

One plus one

Every day's a holiday

One plus one

Move your body, feel the sway

Grab someone

Every day's a holiday

One plus one

Every day's a holiday

Let the beat take you away

Let the beat take you today

Baby, this is magic

Tu peux danser comme tu veux

Sous le soleil quand il pleut

Sous le soleil quand il pleut

C'est vrai si t'imagines

Everyday's a holiday

One plus one

Let the beat take you today

One plus one

Tous les sons qui vont éclore

One plus one

De nos âmes multicolores

One plus one

Face à l'ironie du sort

Sans effort

Pourraient nous mettre d'accord

One plus one

Tu peux danser comme tu veux

Sous le soleil quand il pleut

Sous le soleil quand il pleut

C'est vrai si t'imagines

Tu peux danser comme tu veux

Sous le soleil quand il pleut

Sous le soleil quand il pleut

C'est vrai si t'imagines
