[English]

La La Life is

Life keeps moving on

Even nights with no name

La La Life is

Life keeps moving on

Always, always by your side

Heading beyond the future I’ve been searching for

For your life

Hey hey, how ya feelin’

Listening closely to the first voice I hear

Breaking through the gloomy silence, like smiles blooming

Words passing by are singing of this moment now

Happy days, just like joking around

Worries never end, hope feels fleeting and painfully tender

Even with all the cluttered time, if we're together, surely

That’s why

La La Life is

Life keeps moving on

Even nights with no name

La La Life is

Life keeps moving on

Always, always by your side

La La Life is

Life keeps moving on

Sharing the shape of love

La La Life is

Life keeps moving on

Alright, alright, drawing my wishes

Toward the distant future I’ve been searching for

For your life

Hey hey, how ya feelin’

Holding out my hands, I realize the sky now

It’s infinitely wider than back then

A breeze tickles my cheeks, drying loneliness away

Whispering the meaning of happiness

Calling tomorrow too close, calling someday too far

This moment’s melody will stay forever

That’s why

La La Life is

Life keeps moving on

Even flowers with no name

La La Life is

Life keeps moving on

Always, always shining bright

La La Life is

Life keeps moving on

Feeling the passing seasons

La La Life is

Life keeps moving on

Alright, alright, connecting our feelings

Toward the endless beyond that continues forever

For your life
