[English]

Last night I had a dream about you

In this dream I’m dancing right beside you

And it looked like everyone was having fun

the kind of feeling I’ve waited so long

Don’t stop, come a little closer

As we jam the rhythm gets stronger

There’s nothing wrong with just a little, little fun

We were dancing all night long

The time is right

To put my arms around you

You’re feeling right

You wrap your arms around too

But suddenly I feel the shining sun

Before I knew it this dream was all gone

I don’t know what to do

About this dream and you

I wish this dream comes true

Oh, I don’t know what to do

About this dream and you

We’ll make this dream come true

Why don’t you play the game?

Why don’t you play the game?
