[English]

I can take you onto the dance floor

Let's sing la la la la la, here we go

Just having you next to me makes the world

Sparkle like diamond glitter

It's so exciting, like a holiday

Without hesitation, pick your favorite

Shuffle and repeat

Spinning around like a song

Turn it up, let's make it loud

Classics

Glamorous, ready to go

Sorry to make you wait, from now on

I want to keep shining

Dancing with you forever

I won't let go of this hand

Because of you, because of you

My heart races

We can dance, we can dance, baby

Follow me, follow me now

I can take you onto the dance floor

Let's sing la la la la la, here we go

Just having you next to me makes the world

Sparkle like diamond glitter

Sparkling diamond glitter, baby

Can't wait anymore, I want to see you again in this place

Just before the red balloons of expectation burst

In the past and future

Rather than wandering around

Living for the moment, alright

I feel like I’ve become stronger

Like a diamond

Taking you beyond that sky

I won't let go of this hand

Because of you, because of you

My heart races

We can dance, we can dance, baby

I'm losing, I'm losing control

I can take you onto the dance floor

Let's sing la la la la la, here we go

Just having you next to me makes the world

Sparkle like diamond glitter

Let's dance

Like glitter, baby

With you

Spinning slowly

Let's dance

Like glitter, baby

Sparkle like diamond glitter

Diamond glitter

Diamond glitter

I can take you, we can dance more

Let's sing la la la la la, here we go

Just having you next to me makes the world

Sparkle like diamond glitter

Let's dance

Like glitter, baby

With you

Dance with me, baby

Let's dance

Like glitter, baby

Sparkle like diamond glitter

Diamond glitter
