[English]

Feel the love...

You and me...

Night 'n' day...

Feel the love, feel the love - we can dance all night

When I turn the next corner

I decided to smile brightly

There are times when my heart aches and I feel like giving up

But

Try following the pounding heartbeat

Why can't now be the most important time?

Feel the love, feel the love - we can dance all night

You and me, you and me - we can feel the love tonight

I won't say "See, I told you so"

Isn't it about time to develop a discerning eye?

I often hear that, but in reality

What is a true love?

Is there anyone who isn't lost?

I still have memories that hold onto the past

Feel the love, feel the love - we can dance all night

Night 'n' day, night and day - I'll be searchin' for my love

Feel the love...

You and me...

Night 'n' day...

Feel the love, feel the love - we can dance all night

[Japanese]

Feel the love...

You and me...

Night 'n' day...

Feel the love, feel the love - we can dance all night

次の曲がり角まがったら私

大きく笑うんだって決めたんだ

胸を痛める事とかくじけそうに

なる事もあるけど

高鳴る鼓動に従ってみて

どうして今が1番大事じゃいけない？

Feel the love, feel the love - we can dance all night

You and me, you and me - we can feel the love tonight

「ほらね」だなんて言わないけど

もうそろそろ見る目養ってもいいんじゃない

なんてよく耳にするけど実際

正しい恋愛ってなに

迷走してない人なんている？

過去を落とし込むメモリーはまだあるから

Feel the love, feel the love - we can dance all night

Night 'n' day, night and day - I'll be searchin' for my love

Feel the love...

You and me...

Night 'n' day...

Feel the love, feel the love - we can dance all night
