[English]

Fly up! Wake up! Wishing for an accident

This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, what are you betting on? Asking myself

Win or lose, there's no such thing as a draw

Ah, ah, ah, hey, the show begins

Getting angry, lucky money, neither is possible

Cigar, cigar

Whether I can pull it off depends on me

Of course! Full speed ahead, all in! Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Move aside! I'll be the one to snatch that ace

Stay, that's enough. If you've won, stay calm

Hey, playboy, go ahead

Don't get in my way. Then just be quiet

One, two, three! One, two, three! One, two, three!

Sit down, sit down

One, two, three! One, two, three! One, two, three!

Ah, I'll freeze here

Is the throw a dice? Talent? Or just a spoon?

Can't measure with such a small scale

Yeah, that's right. Say, goodbye

Over here, over there, which way? Nothing, nothing, feeling down

Better to walk a dark path than one without a road

Feeling like spinning out of control, but don’t stop yet

Almost overwhelmed, voices, each one

Get one's way!

You’ve come this far

Just keep looking back

Getting angry, lucky money, neither is possible!

Cigar, cigar

Whether I can pull it off depends on me

Of course! Full speed ahead, all in! Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Move aside! I'll be the one to snatch that ace

Stay, that's enough. If you've won, stay calm

Hey, playboy, go ahead

Don't get in my way. Then just be quiet

One, two, three! One, two, three! One, two, three!

Sit down, sit down

One, two, three! One, two, three! One, two, three!

Unbelievable, double or nothing!

One, two, three! One, two, three! One, two, three!

Sit down, sit down

One, two, three! One, two, three! One, two, three!

Sit down, sit down
