[English]

If you wanna run away with me, I know a galaxy

And I can take you for a ride

I had a premonition that we fell into a rhythm

Where the music don't stop for life

Glitter in the sky, glitter in my eyes

Shining just the way I like

If you're feeling like you need a little bit of company

You met me at the perfect time

You want me, I want you, baby

My sugarboo, I'm levitating

The Milky Way, we're renegading

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight

I need you all night, come on, dance with me

I'm levitating

You, moonlight, you're my starlight (you're the moonlight)

I need you all night, come on, dance with me

I'm levitating

I believe that you're for me, I feel it in our energy

I see us written in the stars

We can go wherever, so let's do it now or never, baby

Nothing's ever, ever too far

Glitter in the sky, glitter in our eyes

Shining just the way we are

I feel like we're forever, every time we get together

But whatever, let's get lost on Mars

You want me, I want you, baby

My sugarboo, I'm levitating

The Milky Way, we're renegading

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight

I need you all night, come on, dance with me

I'm levitating

You, moonlight, you're my starlight (you're the moonlight)

I need you all night, come on, dance with me

I'm levitating (whoo)

You can fly away with me tonight

You can fly away with me tonight

Baby, let me take you for a ride

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm levitating (whoo)

You can fly away with me tonight

You can fly away with me tonight

Baby, let me take you for a ride

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (whoo)

My love is like a rocket, watch it blast off

And I'm feeling so electric, dance my arse off

And even if I wanted to, I can't stop

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

My love is like a rocket, watch it blast off

And I'm feeling so electric, dance my arse off

And even if I wanted to, I can't stop

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You want me, I want you, baby

My sugarboo, I'm levitating

The Milky Way, we're renegading

I got you (yeah), moonlight, you're my starlight

I need you all night (all night), come on, dance with me

I'm levitating (whoo)

You can fly away with me tonight (tonight)

You can fly away with me tonight

Baby, let me take you for a ride

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (take you for a ride)

I'm levitating (whoo)

You can fly away with me tonight (tonight)

You can fly away with me tonight

Baby, let me take you for a ride

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (let me take you for a ride)

I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight (you are my starlight)

I need you all night, come on, dance with me (come on, dance with me, baby)

I'm levitating

You, moonlight, you're my starlight (you're the moonlight)

I need you all night, come on, dance with me

I'm levitating

Key Grammar Structures

• Where the music don't stop for life

  ➔ Relative Clause (non-standard 'don't' with singular subject)

  ➔ A relative clause is introduced by 'where'. Grammatically, it should be 'doesn't' because 'music' is singular. However, the use of 'don't' is likely a stylistic choice for emphasis or to fit the song's rhythm.

• I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight

  ➔ Subject-Verb-Object Structure, Contraction 'you're'

  ➔ 'I got you' is a colloquial expression meaning 'I understand you' or 'I support you'. 'You're' is a contraction of 'you are'. It demonstrates basic sentence structure with a subject, verb, and object/complement.

• I need you all night, come on, dance with me

  ➔ Imperative Sentence, Verb + Preposition

  ➔ Adverb 'wherever', Imperative with 'let's', Coordinating Conjunction
