[English]

No one on the streets and the city is quiet

I should be asleep by the heat of the fire

But I'm on my way out

And I'm gonna stay out

I can feel the pulse as I walk in the door

Take me through the crowd to the middle of the floor

The red and the green lights

Are hitting me just right

Nothing more, nothing less

I got one request

DJ, play a Christmas song

I wanna be dancing all night long

It's cold outside, but it's warm in here

And that's the only thing I want this year

DJ, play a Christmas song

I wanna be dancing all night long

It's tough outside, but it's love in here

And that's the only thing I want this year

Everybody here must be feeling the same

Need a little joy and a little escape

Feeling a spirit

You just wanna hear it

Nothing more, nothing less

I got one request

DJ, play a Christmas song

I wanna be dancing all night long

It's cold outside, but it's warm in here

And that's the only thing I want this year

DJ, play a Christmas song

I wanna be dancing all night long

It's tough outside, but it's love in here

And that's the only thing I want this year

That's the only thing I want this year

That's the only thing I want this year

That's the only thing I want this year

That's the only thing I want this year

DJ, play a Christmas song

I wanna be dancing, dancing all night long

DJ, play a Christmas song

I wanna be dancing all night long

It's cold outside, but it's warm in here

And that's the only thing I want this year

DJ, play a Christmas song

I wanna be dancing all night long

It's tough outside, but it's love in here

And that's the only thing I want this year

That's the only thing I want this year (DJ, play a Christmas song)

That's the only thing I want this year (I wanna be dancing all night long)

That's the only thing I want this year (it's cold outside, but it's warm in here)

That's the only thing I want this year
