[English]

Voulez-vous Voulez-vous

Hey, what do you want?

Voulez-vous Voulez-vous

What are you gonna do?

Honestly Honestly

I want you to say it out right

Honestly Honestly

Don’t you want to invite me somewhere?

I can’t stay still

This situation

If you wanna escape from reality

Looking at each other won’t take us anywhere

In this world somewhere

Let’s find a marvelous heaven

So right now

Get on the train to somewhere far (Give me !）

Move that imaginary ship forward（Move it！Move it！）

To that envious city

Let’s take a great escape

Take me！

Buenos Aires Buenos Aires

Have you ever been there？

This city I’ve seen in some movie

I can hear the tango

Buenos Aires Buenos Aires

I wanna be right there

Nothing will chase us

Te tete te Que bien

Only us two

Ah... Oh... I love you

Te tete te Que guay

Come, the future

Oh... Voulez-vous

Oh！you know we gonna make it

Love is all that matters we can’t fake it

Brush off those who are bothersome

It’s our love, it’s our love going down

Just a place we only know the word of

Throw away what we got and start off

Set our goal only based on the name of the place

Buenos Aires coming to get ya

We can go anywhere

If we close our eyes

The city that can’t be seen comes into sight

Love is the only true map

Do as we are led

Let’s let ourselves flow on one track

So from now

Cross the ocean of envy（I can do it！）

Look up at the sky of desire（Ole！Ole！）

Shake off hopelessness

Let’s try to stay together for eternity

This is Buenos Aires Buenos Aires

Yes, I have been here

Music playing from the old Radio

Someone is dancing

Buenos Aires Buenos Aires

Do you wanna be here？

Paradise belonging only to us

Te tete Fantastico

So right now

Get on the train to somewhere far (Give me !)

Move that imaginary ship forward（Move it！Move it！）

To that envious city

Let’s take a great escape

Take me！

Buenos Aires Buenos Aires

Have you ever been there？

This city I’ve seen in some movie

I can hear the tango

Buenos Aires Buenos Aires

I wanna be right there

Nothing will chase us

Te tete te Que bien

Only us two

Ah... Oh... I love you

Te tete te Que guay

Come, the future

Oh... Voulez-vous

Voulez-vous...

Voulez-vous...

Voulez-vous...

Voulez-vous...
