[English]

Yes, chairman. I'm on my way to work now.

Listen, unknown street corner, uh, walking freely alone

No promises, I don't care - honestly no stress, oh

Fluffy, like this time, uh, my mood is marshmallow

In front of you, I'm somewhat - not disliked, worked on it

Time goes by, when you said goodbye

I've got everything sorted out, on my side

Even the wounds have healed just right

I'm ready to fall in love again

Casting a spell, Mirror Mirror - my ideal is so far away

My dreams are sparkling, let's believe, telling me so

If I hate myself, I won't be able to move on

I want to smile crystal clear

Every day, my life

I'm not alone, tomorrow will be alright

Like Ding-Dong Ding-Dong, happy day

It's sometimes - even when it rains, it will be alright

Just dancing, dancing in the rain

Uh, I still can't fix it, there are some bad habits

Uh, eating ice cream in the middle of the night - feeling guilty, please shhh, give me peace, uh

People say it's no good, or it's bad, uh - am I selfish? Yeah

I'm too uptight, worrying too much - let's dream till sunrise

Walk, rest, run - rest, rest, run

Choose for myself, making a move, it's okay to decide

Sometimes, I need a reward too

Every day, my life

I'm not alone, tomorrow will be alright

Like Ding-Dong Ding-Dong, happy day

It's sometimes - even when it rains, it will be alright

Just dancing, dancing in the rain

It's something new - wearing my new favorite shoes

Let's take a step forward, find a better place

Someday, I'll surely meet someone

Without forcing myself, I'll be alright

A gentle, ideal someone

Every day, my life - I'm not alone, tomorrow will be alright

Like Ding-Dong Ding-Dong, happy day

It's sometimes - even when it rains, it will be alright

Just dancing, dancing in the rain
