[English]

Aw!

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah

Don't underestimate me, just a girl

No way, no way, no way

When I get serious, I shake the world

The world view is upside down

Yeah, deep inside my heart there's a fever

I might not be able to hold it back

Calm down, calm down, but I feel like I'm about to explode

Boom, boom, pop, shaking and swaying

You can't take control

Getting so hot, you realize it now, right?

Temperature up, temperature up

Ah! I can hear the fire alarm ringing

Hot, hot, hot, hot (hey), tension is rising (ho)

The situation is about to turn around, thrilling (hey, eh)

Like dynamite, once it ignites, it can't be stopped

My senses are awakening

Tell me, can you feel me blowing up, up, up

Boom, finally a complete explosion, my voltage up

I've found the exit, power

A panorama of red lights

You can't escape, make up your mind, you can't say no

If you get swallowed by my passion

Boom, boom, pow, blowing up

Bring my voltage up

Boom, boom, pow, burning up

Bring my voltage up

Hot damn, heading in the direction I want

Go straight, my eyes shining bright

Aiming for the future

Aw! I wanna see you all burn up

Hotspot, that's where I'll be

Just by walking, you can feel the heat

With a cold gaze, just one look

Pretending not to see, but you're hooked

Tick-tock, tick-tock (hey), I can hear the timer (ho)

Overflowing passion, there's no escaping (hey, eh)

Just like a grenade, once it ignites, it just burns

High fever, as if it's breaking free

Tell me, can you feel me blowing up, up, up

Boom, finally a complete explosion, my voltage up

I've found the exit, power

A panorama of red lights

You can't escape, make up your mind, you can't say no

If you get swallowed by my passion (aw!)

Hot damn, heading in the direction I want, go straight

Moving at the speed of light

Always, because I decided everything myself, okay

Hot damn, if you hesitate and stop, it's a waste of time

Aiming for the future

Aw! I wanna see you all burn up

Wake up call, the time for instinct to awaken has come

With my eyes open wide, I'll engrave it

I'll put the world on fire

Boom, rising high, my voltage up

Engulfing the surroundings, alpha (yeah, yeah)

Every minute and second is a critical moment

You can't cool me down, once heated, I won't cool off, no, no

Once drawn into a scorching world

Boom, boom, pow, blowing up (ah, ah-ah)

Bring my voltage up

Boom, boom, pow, burning up

Bring my voltage up (flying high above)

Hot damn, shaking the world with a shock right now

Aiming for the future

Aw! I wanna see you all burn up
