[English]

Lift your heart up, a wonderful beginning

One, two, three, find a great viewpoint

Here we go, your place is waiting

Maybe now's the time to change something

One, two, three, find a great viewpoint

Here we go, your special seat

Relax, always with you

I'm searching for a cozy place

Looking out at the distant cityscape

Under the dappled sunlight, watching the view

Relax, today again with you

Finding a comfortable spot

Under the distant clouds, the sun breaking through

I want it to warm me up

...

Let’s start something wonderful that makes our hearts dance

One, two, three, find a great viewpoint

Here we go, your place is waiting

Let's gather around the window table and chat

One, two, three, find a great viewpoint

Here we go, your special seat

Relax, always with you

Searching for a cozy spot

Looking at the distant cityscape

Under the dappled sunlight, watching the view

Relax, today again with you

Finding a comfortable place

Under the distant clouds, the sun breaking through

I want it to warm me up

Relax in the city

...

Relax, always with you

Searching for a cozy place

Looking at the distant cityscape

Under the dappled sunlight, watching the view

Relax, today again with you

Finding a comfortable spot

Under the distant clouds, the sun breaking through

I want it to warm me up

Relax in the city

...
