[English]

You and me in the moonlight

On this festive night of shining stars

The moment we start dancing to the sound of waves

This feeling is just so right!

Hello sea, play with us

Hello wind, come on over

Under the moonlight, you and me and the world

Together we party all night long, yeah it’s good

If you wanna have some fun

Like the salty air, this moment is special

Don’t miss the pleasure of it

One two three, let’s go

Dance like we’re flying to the top of the world

Hey! Let’s dance the night away

Let’s dance the night away

One two three, let’s go

Shout out to the other side of the sea, let’s dance the night away

Dance the night away

Let’s dance the night away

Dance the night away

Let's dance the night away

You and me in this cool night

The half-moon is smiling

Someday you and I will reach the moon’s far side

And promise to party, yeah it’s good

If you wanna have some fun

Like the silver sand, this moment is special

Don’t miss the pleasure of it

One two three, let’s go

Dance like we’re flying to the top of the world

Hey! Let’s dance the night away

Let’s dance the night away

One two three, let’s go

Shout out to the other side of the sea, let’s dance the night away

Shout out loud like today is the last day

Jump up high like soaring beyond limits

Shout out loud like today is the last day

Under the falling starlight, let’s dance the night away

Let's dance the night away

One two three, let’s go

Shout out to the other side of the sea, let’s dance the night away

Let’s dance the night away
