[English]

Heart open wide

I've already attached the invitation card

The caterpillar comes forward in its costume

Diving into the new generation

The sky has opened up

Carrying the seven-colored birds and beasts

Confused fairies all come out to play

Singing all around, full of hope and waiting

Along the way, the laughing rabbits and shy snowmen hold tight

Everyone, raise your glasses to celebrate together

Colorful times (thrills follow, rush out now)

Open a prosperous new era, broaden your horizons, start anew

Keep exploring, beyond right and wrong

Sing aloud, be bold, dance freely, love intensely

From the very start, our story is told

Souls are completely filled with love

The wind starts blowing again

Petals hugging you and me

Forming a gentle bridge

Floating in the scent of snowflakes and ice cream

Come step up to watch the Pegasus fly through the sky

Looking back, I proclaim this wonder to you and me

The journey has no end (braving wind and thunder, flying free)

Open a glorious new world, see new horizons, start anew

Keep discovering, no more judgments of right or wrong

Sing loudly, be brave, dance wild, love passionate

Documented from the start of everything

All souls are filled with love

Gather beneath the prayer tree to nurture new buds

Deserts and valleys are changed, people and gods celebrate hand in hand

With love, we grow new beginnings

Gray cities are being reborn

People and gods celebrate together

[Chinese]

心 敞開

邀請咭我已附載

毛蟲 找來 登台 衣裳

潛入了 新世代

天 已開

把七色鳥獸盛載

糊塗 精靈 都游 出來

圍著唱 多盼待

沿路有惹笑瘋兔握緊怕羞雪人

全部與我碰杯請一起慶祝

繽紛時辰 (快感緊隨 快衝出去)

開 開一個盛世 開新的眼界 一起脫胎

繼續去開 對與錯都不再

請 放聲 唱歌 放膽 舞擺 用力愛

從原始起點記載

靈魂通通充滿愛

風 再起

花瓣擁抱我共你

形成 一條 輕柔 的橋

浮著雪芭氣味

來踏上去看天馬穿身過大氣

回眸向你我宣告這種美好

終點無期 (刮風打雷 也 飛出去)

開 開一個盛世 開新的眼界 一起脫胎

繼續去開 對與錯都不再

請 放聲 唱歌 放膽 舞擺 用力愛

從原始起點記載

靈魂通通充滿愛

集結禱告樹下 為了栽種嫩芽

幽谷荒野被轉化 人和神手牽手慶祝

就 用愛栽種嫩芽

灰色 都市被轉化

人和神手牽手慶祝
