[English]

Midnight of light and darkness, weekend

Dance floor, scream & shout

Bare human nature

Exchanging glances, eye to eye, Borderline of keep and hide

Love that bloomed in play, a fleeting flower

Ah, I'm not gonna...

Beating loudly, Cheers right in my ear!

I tell you ‘Adabana’

Stay awake, can dream, you know

Do you wanna be my lover?

Raise your glass, shining bright

Countless bubbles race to the top

Love that bursts and disappears

Illuminated by dazzling lights

Everyone’s a butterfly, a spider (Yeah Ah)

Sweet scent and flavor (Oh, flavor of flower)

Butterfly, a spider (Yeah Ah)

Colors that confuse the heart (Oh, color of flower)

Flower... Love is fleeting

Flower... Blooms mysteriously

Wearing a mask, disappearing myself

Starting to show human nature

Dance as your true self, laser through the darkness

Unreliable, fleeting night

Do you know ‘Adabana’?

Smile at that girl too, surfing the crowd

Do you wanna be my lover?

Raise your glass, shining bright

Countless bubbles race to the top

A whirl of reckless cheers

Illuminated by dazzling lights

Everyone’s a butterfly, a spider (Yeah Ah)

Trap of sweet words (Oh, flavor of flower)

Butterfly, a spider (Yeah Ah)

Pretending to be caught in a trap, is also a trap (Oh, color of flower)

Flower... Exciting now

Flower... Blooms so mysteriously

Want to be intoxicated by the sound and sway

Don’t stop, DJ, keep going all night

Want to forget everything about each day

Stretch invisible wings and kiss

Everyone’s a butterfly, a spider (Yeah Ah)

Sweet scent and flavor (Oh, flavor of flower)

Butterfly, a spider (Yeah Ah)

Colors that confuse the heart (Oh, color of flower)

Flower... Love is fleeting

Flower... Blooms so mysteriously

Flower... Thrilling now

Flower... Blooms so mysteriously

Flower

...

鳴り響くBeat 耳元でCheers!

I Tell You "ADABANA"
