[English]

Only the flickering light reflects this dance

Now I cry, afraid I won't see you again

Focus on dancing gracefully, don’t dare to countdown

Delay saying goodbye, just one more minute is fine

I wish now is more brilliant than fireworks

Even if with you, tears and songs are just a moment

Hope that romance can overshadow loneliness

If fireworks fade, at least a petal opens

Ah... woo... woo... woo... ah... woo... woo... woo...

Ah... woo... woo... woo... ah... woo... woo... woo...

Cliffhanging feelings, could you give me half a second more?

Don’t ask how much hearing “I love you” costs

Sadly, the hands move fast; I can’t wait for dawn

The distant sky feels so small

I wish now is more beautiful than fireworks

Even if with you, tears and songs are just a moment

Hope that romance can overshadow loneliness

If the fireworks must fade, this instant shines the brightest

Ah... woo... woo... woo... oho... woo... woo... woo...

Ah... woo... woo... woo... oho... woo... woo... woo...

Three minutes left to countdown, remember the taste of your kiss

One minute remaining, how to spend this last minute?

Pray to God to listen to my words, take the time into the tunnel

Walk back to the first time we met, even pause your breath for a moment

Oho... woo... woo... woo... oho... woo... woo... woo...

I wish now is more beautiful than fireworks

Even if with you, tears and songs are just a moment

Living between reality and the past

Traveling through time; my world only has tonight

Oho... woo... woo... woo... oho... woo... woo... woo...

Oho... woo... woo... woo... oho... woo... woo... woo...

Ah

...

[Chinese]

垂熄燈火只可影照這一隻舞

現在落淚我怕我再看你不到

專心的翩翩起舞不敢去倒數

延遲說分手拖一分鐘也好

但願現在比煙花燦爛

即使與你 可歌可泣只得一瞬間

但願浪漫蓋過了孤單

如果煙花會散 也至少開一絲花瓣

Ah... woo... woo... woo... ah... woo... woo... woo...

Ah... woo... woo... woo... ah... woo... woo... woo...

戀戀不捨可否給我多半秒

別問道別說愛你會聽見多少

只可惜分針走得快 等不到破曉

遙遠的天空很渺小

但願現在比煙花美麗

即使與你 可歌可泣只得一瞬間

但願浪漫蓋過了孤單

如果煙花要散 這剎那總算最耀眼

Ah... woo... woo... woo... oho... woo... woo... woo...

Ah... woo... woo... woo... oho... woo... woo... woo...

尚有三分鐘倒數 好好謹記吻你那味道

尚有一分鐘倒數 餘下這一分鐘怎過方好

祈求上帝聽我細訴 將光陰帶進去隧道

漫步到初相識最好 停頓你的呼吸一下都好

Oho... woo... woo... woo... oho... woo... woo... woo...

但願現在比煙花美麗

即使與你 可歌可泣只得一瞬間

活在現實與過去之間

時空穿梭往返 我世界只有這夜晚

Oho... woo... woo... woo... oho... woo... woo... woo...

Oho... woo... woo... woo... oho... woo... woo... woo...

Ah
