[English]

The excitement builds, I can't hold it back

Give me ATTENTION!

Body starting to move

DANCE UH DANCE

So crazy, so sexy, so flaming hot

WHAT!

Wherever you are’s fine, as long as the beat's there

Right then, just get down low

Won't let anyone get in the way

DANCE

Play the music, let me dance

Can't stop now

The beat is my energy

C’mon, let me dance

There are no rules

Just feeling completely free

(Dance) Look at us getting loud

(Dance) My heart’s grooving

(Dance) Everything’s so good!

Rocking my body, don’t stop

Revisit that feeling from that day

Awaken it again

Feeling shy?

No hiding now, no no no

DANCE UH DANCE

Freestyling, pop-locking, whipping

Just watch!

OH!

You dance too, here we go

Show me your unique move, come on

So fine, from head to toe, so right

EG’s coming through, act like you know!

DANCE

Play the music, let me dance

Can’t stop now

The beat is my energy

C’mon, let me dance

There are no rules

Feeling totally free

You too, dance dance dance

Look, dance dance dance

Come on, let’s do it together

Feel it fully

Let it be, let it be, let it be...

Be yourself, just as you are

Leave it to the music

Just dance your dance with me

Hey!

C’mon now

We’re gonna keep on dancing!

Wow

Don’t stop, won’t stop

Let’s dance! Let’s dance!

Play the music, let me dance

Can’t stop now

The beat is my energy

C’mon, let me dance

There are no rules

Feeling totally free

You too, dance dance dance

Look, dance dance dance

Come on, let’s do it together

Feel it fully
