[English]

Tell me, babe, what are you doing today?

I knew you'd say there's nothing going on.

Tell you, babe, just follow me.

Use white clouds as your bed, fly high.

I'm fine, not really fine.

You don’t even smile.

After joking around with my worries (all I need, yeah).

We fly, we’re flying.

I wanna make you smile.

Tonight, forget everything.

Till the sun comes up.

After midnight.

In the moonlight.

Throw your worries away.

Come on, let's go.

After midnight.

Watch the highlight.

On this summer night, baby, unforgettable.

The two of us will create.

The perfect midnight.

Others might not envy us, but you know.

In this rough world, we draw a cool picture together, so dripping.

Let it kick in.

Sort out the bad thoughts, let’s play.

Deep into tonight.

Ah, no one can stop us.

Let's enjoy the party.

This kind of time, tikki-tak.

Because it’s going to pass quickly, stay up all night.

Until the world fades away.

I’m fine, not really fine.

Endless sea.

Maybe we're a bit like it.

Alright, alright.

Looking back at the past.

We’ve become stronger.

Till the sun comes up.

After midnight.

In the moonlight.

Throw your worries away.

After midnight.

See the highlight.

On this summer night, baby, unforgettable.

The two of us will create.

The perfect midnight.

Perfect midnight, yeah.

Please talk to me.

If anyone hurts or wounds you, yeah.

If my body is for you,

I can do anything, my heart beats for you too.

Hope we’re the same, if so, just tell me.

Yeah, if that’s the case, I like you too.

Don’t worry, I’ll protect everything.

We’ll have a good time.

An endless midnight.

Until morning, all right.

Yeah, until the sun rises.

Yeah, till the sun comes up.

After midnight.

In the moonlight.

Throw your worries away.

Come on, let’s go.

After midnight.

See the highlight.

On this summer night, baby, unforgettable.

The two of us will create.

Perfect midnight.

Won’t you come, won’t you come, baby?

Won’t you come, won’t you come, baby?

Won’t you come, won’t you come, baby?

Won’t you come, won’t you come, baby?

Won’t you come, won’t you come, baby?

Won’t you come, won’t you come, baby?

Won’t you come, won’t you come, baby?

Won’t you come, won’t you come, baby?

Perfect midnight.
