[English]

1 2 3 from now on, it's all a surprise

A to Z, this moment is for you

Just today, we can do anything

R to V, come follow us (Come on)

Feeling so excited

With perfect weather (Let’s get lit!)

Feel so high oh my gosh, everything feels like a gift

Dumb dumb (I'm feeling wild)

Today feels like diamonds

I got I got I got a special day

Let's start another chance

Sweet ice cream cake

Once again, I hand it to you

Your heartbeat check, swag check

Looking at me, your trembling gaze, check

Make your day

With both hands tightly clasped

Imagine anything

In front of you

I want to show you everything you wished for

I want to show it all

It's my day and your day, it's a party party

Fireworks, light up quickly

Tonight, we rock the world

(Yeah just rock the world)

I can make the beat go

Bam bam ba ra bam ba ram ba ra

Today is the day, it’s your birthday birthday

Bam bam ba ra bam ba ram ba ra

The whole world shines and is so icy icy

Birthday birthday, it's exactly now

Party pop pop the champagne - (Wow pop pop the champagne)

It happens just the way we want

Dream more and wish, bi-bi-bi-birthday

Look, wherever I look, I just feel happy

With you, a dazzling view unfolds like a fantasy

My lips keep curling up

Everything is perfect, okay

Even if all this disappears when I wake up, so what

If we lock eyes, every day is another birthday

Somethin' kinda crazy, you can feel it too

I'm right, believe me, kiss me

It's your day

With both hands tightly clasped

Keep imagining

Everyday (All day)

I want to give it only to you

This is very special

It's my day and your day, it's a party party

Fireworks, light up quickly

Tonight, we rock the world

I can make the beat go

Bam bam ba ra bam ba ram ba ra

Today is the day, it’s your birthday birthday

Bam bam ba ra bam ba ram ba ra

The whole world shines and is so icy icy

Birthday birthday, it's exactly now

Party pop pop the champagne - (Wow pop pop the champagne)

It happens just the way we want

Dream more and wish, birthday party

Bam yeah yeah

I can make the beat go, beat go bounce

Get it on, get it on (Bam yeah yeah)

Get it on, get it on

We can make the beat go

Ba ra bam bam ba ra bam ba ram ba ra

Today is the day, it’s your birthday birthday

Bam bam ba ra bam ba ram ba ra

The whole world shines and is so icy icy

Birthday birthday, it's exactly now

Party pop pop the champagne - (Wow pop pop the champagne)

It happens just the way we want

Dream more and wish, birthday party
