[English] Remember this moment, deep in my heart
The time we stood with trembling hands
The crowd went wild in the stands
We were the kings and queens
And they announced our names
That night you danced like you knew
Our lives would never be the same
You held your head high, like a hero
On a page in history
It was the end of a decade
But the beginning of a new age
Long live the walls we broke down
All the kingdom's lights shined just for us
I was shouting long live all the magic we made
And let the pretenders come
One day, we'll be remembered
Remember this feeling, I said
I passed pictures around
Of all the years we stood there
On the sidelines, wishing for now
We are the kings and queens
You traded your cap for a crown
When they gave us our trophies
And we raised them high for our town
And the skeptics were outraged
Screaming, "This is ridiculous!"
Because for a moment, a band of rebels
Ruled the world
Long live the walls we broke down
All the kingdom's lights shined just for us
I was shouting long live all the magic we made
And let the pretenders come
I'm not afraid
Long live the mountains we moved
I had the best time fighting dragons with you
I was shouting long live that look on your face
And let the pretenders come
One day, we'll be remembered

Hold on as you keep spinning around
Confetti falling to the ground
May these memories catch us when we fall

Will you take a moment
Promise me this
That you'll stand by me forever
But if—God forbid—fate steps in
And forces us to say goodbye
If you have children someday
When they look at the pictures
Please tell them my name
Tell them how the crowd went wild
Tell them how I hope they shine
Long live the walls we broke down
I had the best time with you
Long, long live the walls we broke down
All the kingdom's lights shined just for us
And I was shouting long live all the magic we made
And let the pretenders come
I'm not afraid
Singing, long live the mountains we moved
I had the best time fighting dragons with you
And long, long live that look on your face
And let the pretenders come
One day, we'll be remembered
