[English]

Falling, flash, whole-body crash

Circuits going crazy, out of control

Now I’m funked up, step on the gas

Everybody say ‘Whoa’ ‘Whoa’

Uh, hope it's like this every day, different DNA

Excitement’s a bonus, ah, what a feeling

So what if they mock me, say my changed pupils are weird

What a shame if this all turns out to be a dream

Gather around, let’s all go wild

Cause our night's getting hotter

Friends Ring Ring, inspiration Ring Ring

Rising up and flashing like a thunderbolt

ALO ALO T.H.U.N.D.E.R

ALO ALO, it’s here like a thunderbolt

ALO ALO T.H.U.N.D.E.R

ALO ALO, rising up and flashing a thunderbolt

Keeps ringing, phone keeps ringing

Keeps zapping, bzzzt like a thunderbolt

Keeps ringing, phone keeps ringing

Keeps zapping, bzzzt like a thunderbolt

Bzzzt like

Rumors spread like fire, chatter everywhere

Now they’re crowding around, ah, what a feeling

We don't chase shadows when we drive, don't worry

Let’s mark the exact time, 17:17

Gather around, let’s all go wild

Cause our night's getting hotter

At that moment, Ring Ring, inspiration Ring Ring

Rising up and flashing like a thunderbolt

ALO ALO T.H.U.N.D.E.R

ALO ALO, it’s here like a thunderbolt

ALO ALO T.H.U.N.D.E.R

ALO ALO, rising up and flashing like a thunderbolt

Keeps ringing, phone keeps ringing

Keeps zapping, bzzzt like a thunderbolt

Keeps ringing, phone keeps ringing

Keeps zapping, bzzzt like a thunderbolt

(Bzzzt bzzzt like)

Rising up and flashing like a thunderbolt
