[English]

Shake it up We’re going up Here we go now

My heart beats ever faster

Don’t be late (Ooh wee)

We can make it - anytime

You and I Never be alone

(Ooh wee)

To the west, to the east

Into the distance

Far away I wanna go the way

To somewhere no one has ever gone

Imma do what I wanna do

I fear nothing (Never stop)

Even if I’m berated

Unwavering - my pride yeah

Making the impossible possible

Overcoming it - oh, keep going

On the bumpy road Even to an undiscovered tomorrow

Driving forward with passion

When we in this thing really in this thing

We’re starting - Break it down

(Here we go now) Go

We know it know it know

Prepare to jump

Go higher

Go higher (Ay)

We know it know it know

Jump high

Go higher

Go higher

Yeah In the new age

Although it’s uncertain

Time passes

I’ve got myself

Don’t look back

Have courage

Stand up - Whenever I feel free

Follow me in the dark

I’ll illuminate you

I’ll shine by your side

Even if you’re far away

Don’t worry yeah

On the bumpy road Even in the wilderness

The urge to just move on

With a color that can’t be imitated

Let’s take on the challenge - Break it down

Go

We know it know it know (Here we go now)

Prepare to jump

Go higher

Go higher (Ay)

We know it know it know

Jump high

Go higher

We can get there

Pump up the speed

Baby we just go, go

Just take my hand and come ay yeah
