[English]

I'm not gonna sleep tonight

'Til the morning fills the sky

No one's getting left behind

This is our time

This is our time!

We gonna live this night (yeah)

Live it like it's our last night

'Cause nobody cares if there's no tomorrow!

(Row-row-row-row-row-row-row)

I'm not thinking 'bout the future

(the future)

It's somewhere out there

We're all busy being human

(human)

We remember

Hearts beating all around me

(together)

Now, they're surrounding me

This is how we get connected

Running like the shadows into light

We're gonna live this night (yeah)

Live it like it's our last night

'Cause nobody cares if there's no tomorrow!

We're gonna love this night (yeah)

Love it like it's our last night

Stars up in the air (yeah)

It's our last night in the city

(city-city-city-city)

I've been traveling around now

(big world)

With my brothers

Always moving to a new town

No time to put the roofs down

We can't stop believing

(can't stop)

Now we believe in you

'Cause when your standing in the spotlight

The only thing that matters is tonight!

We're gonna live this night (yeah)

Live it like it's our last night

'Cause nobody cares if there's no tomorrow!

We're gonna love this night (yeah)

Love it like it's our last night

Stars up in the air (yeah)

It's our last night in the city

I'm not gonna sleep tonight

'Til the morning fills the sky

No one's getting left behind

This is our time

This is our time!

We're gonna live this night (yeah)

Live it like it's our last night

'Cause nobody cares if there's no tomorrow!

We're gonna love this night (yeah)

Love it like it's our last night

Stars up in the air (oh, yeah!)

It's our last night in the city

(Yeah)

Last night in the city

(Yeah)
