[English]

Bright red heat, pitch black seat

Once you're on, let's play the music, gotta go

Fastest delivery, look, we're already jammin’

Come on up, everybody, oh, oh

So the super bass vibrates all through the body

Sparks fly, moving in sync

You & me, even further all the way down

Before you cool down

Crossing the highway

Ignition

Transporter, get down! Get down!

Light it up, just fire up, delivering all my love

Transporter, get down! Get down!

Light it up, just fire up, delivering all my love

Come on, hurry, we can still go, right?

Everybody say oh

Jump on, don’t let go

Everybody say oh

In the passenger seat, opening the passage

Faster than anyone, releasing a killer tune, gotta move

If you can, chase me with one hand on the wheel

No brakes until we arrive

So let your heart burn and dance to the super bass

It's so exhilarating, it takes my breath away

You & me, truly all the way down

Don’t hold back that overflowing curiosity

Ignition

Transporter, get down! Get down!

Light it up, just fire up, delivering all my love

Transporter, get down! Get down!

Light it up, just fire up, delivering all my love

Sparks fly, moving in sync

You & me, even further all the way down

Before you cool down

Again & again

Ignition

Transporter, get down! Get down!

Light it up, just fire up, delivering all my love

Transporter, get down! Get down!

Light it up, just fire up, delivering all my love

Come on, hurry, we can still go, right?

Everybody say oh

Jump on, don’t let go

Everybody say oh
