[English]

Uh— "Let's Fall in Love Instantly"

Let's fall in love instantly, because there's no helping it, no way around it—I just want to dance barefoot.

It's so seductive I could laugh, but I guess I'll just crack a joke instead.

We were strangers once, scattered across the classroom floor...

Beyond the limits of words and common sense, let's get to know each other, let's get to know each other.

Even when problems make us want to cry, let's just keep singing anime songs.

When you feel like giving up, Baby Go Go Go Go!

Let's Go

Let's fall in love instantly, because there's no helping it, no way around it—we'll run out of energy.

It's so seductive I could laugh, but I guess I'll just crack a joke instead.

Looking down, feeling a little blue—your ennui-filled expression...

It pierces right through the very core of my heart, pierces right through my heart.

A hand chop like Jackie Chan! Just watch and try to mimic my jump!

Come play along with me; let's be wild, let's go, let's go, let's go!

Let's fall in love instantly, because there's no helping it, no way around it—I just want to dance barefoot.

It's so seductive I could laugh, but I guess I'll just crack a joke instead.

Because I've left my unredeemable, unrewarded efforts alone...

I want to purify my unforgiven, hated self. No, no, no.

Let's Go

Let's fall in love instantly, because there's no helping it, no way around it—I just want to dance barefoot.

It's so seductive I could laugh, but I guess I'll just crack a joke instead.

Let's Go

Let's Go

That was amazing.

The pleasure was mine.

It was an honor.

[Japanese]

えー　「瞬発的に恋しよう」

瞬発的に恋しよう だってどうしようもなく こうしようもなく 裸足でステップしたいから

誘惑的で笑いそうだ けど しょうがなくジョークでも言おうか

見知らぬ同士だった 教室の床に散らばった

言葉と常識の枠を超えて 知ろう ろう x2

泣きそうな問題もアニソンでも歌っていよう

諦めそうだって Baby Go Gox4

Let’s Go

瞬発的に恋しよう でもどうしようもなく こうしようもなくカロリー不足なるから

誘惑的で笑いそうだ けど しょうがなくジョークでも言おうか

俯きちょっとブルーで アンニュイな君の表情が

僕の心の芯を打ち抜いてしまう まうx2

ジャッキーチェンのような手刀 サッと見よう見まねでジャンプ

相手しておくれよ わんぱくで行こう 行こう こう x3

瞬発的に恋しよう だってどうしようもなく こうしようもなく 裸足でステップしたいから

誘惑的で笑いそうだ けど しょうがなくジョークでも言おうか

救われぬ 報われぬ 努力をそっとしてきたから

許されぬ 嫌われる 我が身を浄化したいのさ No No No

Let’s Go

瞬発的に恋しよう だってどうしようもなく こうしようもなく 裸足でステップしたいから

誘惑的で笑いそうだ けど しょうがなくジョークでも言おうか

Let’s Go

Let’s Go

最高でした

こちらこそ

光栄でした
