[English]

Yeah

Let's livin' it up (livin' it up)

Just repeating every day

Escape it, look, tonight is Friday night, yes, sir

Those synchronized feelings are our passport

Pass through the gate and there is Zion

Grooving sound echoes

Lighting up red fire

A stifling tropical night

The destination it invites to is higher

Get up, get up, take this hand

Wake up, wake up, don't hesitate

Welcome, welcome, here everyone is

In a free Shangri-La

Tonight's Friday night, sing and dance, baby

Livin' it up, there's no second chance in one life

Heartbeats overlapping, a fanfare

Livin' it up forever, dadada

Let's make a scene all night long twenty-four-seven

A dream that won't fade

Right now, right now, take it away

Open the door of your heart

Let's livin' it up

Yeah, let's livin' it up

Yeah, I am what I am, man

Tick, tick, tock, tock, the constraints of time

Don't even exist here, young forever

What you waiting for? Let's reveal it all

A look you've never seen before

Breakin' heart, without even realizing

Suppressed desires

Even the stars in the night sky are sleepless

Words aren't enough

Get up, get up, take this hand

Wake up, wake up, don't hesitate

Welcome, welcome, here everyone is

In a free Shangri-La

Tonight's Friday night, sing and dance, baby

Livin' it up, there's no second chance in one life

Heartbeats overlapping, a fanfare

Livin' it up forever, dadada

Let's make a scene all night long twenty-four-seven

A dream that won't fade

Right now, right now, take it away

Open the door of your heart

Let's livin' it up

What I was looking for was something that

Adds color to an ordinary day (adds color to it)

A stimulating spice (a stimulating spice)

This miracle that we've encountered

Makes it rain on my dry heart

Shining day by day

Scream loud, loud in this place, yeah, yeah

Everybody jump, jump

Show me your Pandora's box

Hidden beneath that bare face, it's about to burn me

Yo, not planning to let it go

Shining, all my life

Dive into a world I've never seen, as I feel

Forget about tomorrow, shall we dance?

Baby, come closer, tonight I'm a monster

Tonight's Friday night, sing and dance, baby

Livin' it up, there's no second chance in one life

Heartbeats overlapping, a fanfare

Livin' it up forever, dadada

Tonight's Friday night, sing and dance, baby

Livin' it up, there's no second chance in one life

Heartbeats overlapping, a fanfare

Livin' it up forever, dadada

Let's make a scene all night long twenty-four-seven

A dream that won't fade

Right now, right now, take it away

Open the door of your heart

Let's livin' it up

Yeah, one time, forever mine

Forever, dadada

That one and only life, oh

Now, together

Let's livin' it up

...

[Japanese]

Yeah

Let's livin' it up (livin' it up)

繰り返すだけの everyday

抜け出せほら今夜は friday night, yes, sir

シンクロしたその思いが passport

ゲートをくぐればそこは zion

響き渡る grooving sound

赤く灯すよ fire

むせ返るような熱帯夜

誘う先は higher

Get up, get up この手を取って

Wake up, wake up 躊躇わないで

Welcome, welcome ここは誰もが

自由な Shangri-La

今宵 friday night 歌い踊れ baby

Livin' it up 二度はない one life

Tick, tick, tock, tock 時の制約
