[English]

Hula-la-la, hula-la-la, hula-la, hula hoop

Hula-la-la, hula-la, hula, hula hoop (dance 'round me like a...)

Hula-la-la (oh yeah), hula-la-la, hula-la, hula hoop (yeah-yeah)

Hula-la-la, hula-la, hula, hula hoop

Chewing on fruit, just passing by

The world is starting out alright (hit it, tell me, shout it out!)

Appearing and disappearing, a dazzling garden

I've never felt this before

It's 'cause of you, you beautiful

You got me like, ooh-la-la, I want you like, ooh-na-na

Yeah, stay with me forever, now what you say?

I can give you the shape of a promise

We're always connected, aren't we?

'Cause I'm feeling this thing is right (let's go!)

Dance! Turn around and 'round and 'round, flying shooting stars

My eyes are Andromeda (like a hula, hula, hula, hula hoop)

Stand! Spin the self-centered love

(Coming now, spinning 'round, spin it right 'round!)

I can make you dance around me like a hula hoop

Hula-la-la, hula-la-la, hula-la, hula hoop

Hula-la-la, hula-la, hula, hula hoop (dance 'round me like a...)

Hula-la-la, hula-la-la, hula-la, hula hoop

Hula-la-la, hula-la, hula, hula hoop

You (you) say goodbye to the sparkling galaxy

Isn't it the best? Isn't it the best? Isn't it the best?

The fire in your heart (fire in your heart, hot, hot)

Doors lead to more doors, I open up

What a subliminal, don't make me stop

Beyond the universe

Hey, you gonna make me pop-pop, pop, pop-pop

You got me like, ooh-la-la (ooh-la-la, la, la)

I want you like, ooh-na-na (ooh-na-na, na, na)

Yeah, stay with me forever, now what you say?

I can give you a familiar myth (yeah, yeah)

The past and the future are now (now)

'Cause I'm feeling this thing is right (let's go!)

Dance! Turn around and 'round and 'round, flying shooting stars

My eyes are Andromeda (like a hula, hula, hula, hula hoop)

Stand! Spin the self-centered love

(Coming now, spinning 'round, spin it right 'round!)

I can make you dance around me like a hula hoop

Hula-la-la, hula-la-la, hula-la, hula hoop

Hula-la-la, hula-la, hula, hula hoop (dance 'round me like a...)

Hula-la-la, hula-la-la, hula-la, hula hoop

Hula-la-la, hula-la, hula, hula hoop

We're going 'round-'round, the infinite whirlpool

It never stops

I want what's not perfect, I want the possibilities

(Feels so right!) You and I, yeah

Dance! Turn around and 'round and 'round, flying shooting stars

My eyes are Andromeda (like a hula, hula, hula, hula hoop)

(Like a hula hoop) stand! spin the self-centered love

(Coming now, spinning 'round, spin it right 'round!)

I can make you dance around me like a hula hoop

Hula-la-la, hula-la-la, hula-la, hula hoop

Hula-la-la, hula-la (oh, yeah), hula, hula hoop (dance 'round me like a...)

Hula-la-la, hula-la-la, hula-la, hula hoop

Hula-la-la, hula-la, hula, hula hoop

最良でしょう? 最良でしょう? 最良でしょう?

The fire in your heart (fire in your heart, hot, hot)

扉に次ぐトビラ, I open up

何てサブリミナル, don't make me stop

宇宙の向こうの向こう
