[English]

Na-na-na, na-na

No dreams tonight

There's a time in life

When we think we'll fight alone (na-na-na, na-na)

It seems like (nobody know) nobody you know

But tonight we're together

'Cause friends we are forever

But tonight we're together

'Cause friends are forever

Tonight take it easy

No drinks, no dreams

Tonight take it easy

You'll find your love

Tonight take it easy

No drinks, no dreams

Tonight take it easy

Take it easy

This is your night, you need it

Over your future, take it

Feel inside and say, "I live tonight"

We are so unrelated

All the rainbow we take it

Feel inside and say, "I live tonight"

Na-na-na, na-na

No dreams tonight

From tonight, we'll never be alone (na-na-na, na-na)

From tonight, we'll never be alone

But tonight we're together

Be as friends as we are forever

But tonight we're together

'Cause friends are forever

Tonight take it easy

No drinks, no dreams

Tonight take it easy

You'll find your love

Tonight take it easy

No drinks, no dreams

Tonight take it easy

Take it easy

This is your night, you need it

Over your future, take it

Feel inside and say, "I live tonight"

We are so unrelated

All the rainbow we take it

Feel inside and say, "I live tonight"

From tonight, we're livin' together, forever

Key Grammar Structures

• There’s a time in life when we think we’ll fight alone

  ➔ when‑clause + present simple + future with will

  ➔ The clause "when we think" uses the present simple, and "we’ll fight" uses the future with "will" to express a future action after a condition.

• But tonight we’re together

  ➔ present continuous for present state

  ➔ "we’re together" uses the present continuous ("are" + "‑ing") to describe a current situation.

• ‘Cause friends we are forever

  ➔ contraction of because + subject‑verb inversion for emphasis

  ➔ The informal contraction "‘Cause" stands for "because", and the order "friends we are" places the verb after the subject for stylistic emphasis.

• Tonight take it easy

  ➔ imperative mood (base verb) for advice or suggestion

  ➔ "take" is used in the imperative form, giving a direct suggestion: "Take it easy".

• You’ll find your love

• This is your night, you need it

  ➔ present simple with linking verb "is" and another present simple clause

  ➔ "This is" uses the linking verb "is" to describe a state, while "you need it" is another present simple clause describing a requirement.

• Feel inside and say, “I live tonight”

  ➔ imperative + coordinating conjunction "and" + infinitive clause

  ➔ "Feel" and "say" are both in the imperative form, linked by "and" to give a sequence of actions.

• From tonight, we’ll never be alone

  ➔ future simple with will after temporal prepositional phrase

  ➔ "we’ll" is the contraction of "we will", placed after the temporal phrase "From tonight" to express a future certainty.
