[English]

Hey

Where are you going?

Festival

My heart, oh là là

Thumping in this moment

I love dancing with you

I do, I do

Arrived at the carnival

Pink blush of excitement

So curious

So fabulous

Like a roller coaster ride

But why are you rushing?

Becoming a borrowed cat

Face blush, heart races

A fool, a fool, for you

Heart, don’t get carried away

Buzzing, feeling so shy

My heart begins to

Dance—do a little

Do, ah—do a little

Dance, do a little dance

Do ya, do ya

Do you want to dance?

The only answer is one

Say “Yes”

Dance, holding hands

Do it, do it

Our date

Under a spell

Say “Yeah”

Do do do do do do the da da

Da da da da da da da dance

The la la la la little dance

Meow

Do the dance, ah oui

Do do do do do do the da da

Da da da da da da da dance

The la la la la little dance

Meow beat

Will it happen? Or not?

That kid inside your heart

Stand on edge, feel you

Ambiguous

Like and dislike, cryptic code

So curious

Feeling so uneasy

Like a roller coaster ride

Not like myself

Even the date is daring

That’s my secret weapon

A fool, a fool, for you

Night begins to fall

In a dazzling parade

With you

Dance—do a little

Do, ah—do a little

Dance, do a little dance

Do ya, do ya

Do you want to dance?

The only answer is one

Say “Yes”

Dance, holding hands

Do it, do it

Our date

Under a spell

Say “Yeah”

Do do do do do do the da da

Da da da da da da da dance

The la la la la little dance

Meow

Do the dance, ah oui

Do do do do do do the da da

Da da da da da da da dance

The la la la la little dance

Meow
