[English]

Ready, set, go!

Yeah, Here we go!

High high

Yeah, Here we go!

Anyone would need you, I need you

Always with you, these miraculous days

Your dazzling figure is burned into my eyelids

The distance is closing (High) - I have a feeling it's beginning

Turning back (High) - that's just impossible

I won't hesitate, everything's alright - I don't need a reason as long as I'm with you

Forgetting the time (Alright) - getting completely absorbed (Huh?)

We can make it one day - as far as we can go

We can go, come over - let's start once more (Here we go!)

Always, anyone

Now, get in position - Ready, set, go! GO GO!

Leaping over fate - how far shall we go?

Shall we run together?

DON DON DON DON DON (Ready)

DON DON DON DON DON (Let’s go!)

Everyone, ready, set, go!

DON DON DON DON DON

Let's race through this moment that will never come again

My mind's temperature is skyrocketing - overthinking will ruin it

In this very moment, trust my side - Taking off, taking off ohh!

Precious days, days we can't go back to (Ooh)

I played around so I wouldn't let them slip away

Our eyes met in a dream - the distance closes and time stops

1,2,3,4 oh - Can't stop, can't stop, freestyle on

Let's start once more (Here we go!)

Always, anyone

Now, get in position - Ready, set, go! GO GO!

Leaping over fate - let's go hand in hand

Anywhere with you

Take off, Don! - Let’s go, get up YO-I-DON yeah

Take off, scream out - Make a wish, It’s time to (Oh let’s go!)

(Gonna be yours) - Always, anyone

The season to shine - will eventually come wow wow

(Gonna be yours) - Even if fate changes

Ya, just be yourself and race through, Let’s go!

Always, anyone

Now, get in position - Ready, set, go! GO GO!

Leaping over fate - how far shall we go?

Shall we run together?

DON DON DON DON DON (Ready)

DON DON DON DON DON (Let’s go!)

Everyone, ready, set, go!

DON DON DON DON DON

Our race that will never happen again
