If you wanna dance tonight
If you wanna do it baby love me tonight!

If you wanna dance tonight
If you wanna do it baby love me tonight!

気まぐれな時の誘いの手に心かたむけて踊りだそう
夜はいつも知らぬ間にそっと忍び込む

ほら get groovin' いつもの step で時のつぶてを浴びて
ほら let's dance 月の光の中二人だけさ

If you wanna dance tonight
If you wanna do it baby love me tonight!

If you wanna dance tonight
If you wanna do it baby love me tonight!

夕闇かけだすあのイルミネーションそびえるタワーをかざりたてる
黄昏はいつも胸にときめき運ぶよ
ほら after 5 心すりかえる君も服を着がえて
ほら get away 街へとびだそう夜空めがけ

If you wanna dance tonight
If you wanna do it baby (tonight!)

If you wanna dance tonight
If you wanna do it baby (tonight!)

ほら get groovin' いつもの step で時のつぶてを浴びて
ほら let's dance 月の光の中二人だけさ

If you wanna dance tonight
If you wanna do it baby love me tonight!

If you wanna dance tonight
If you wanna do it baby (tonight!)

If you wanna dance tonight
If you wanna do it baby

If you wanna dance tonight
If you wanna do it baby love me tonight!

Follow the hand of whimsical invitation, turn your heart and dance
Follow the random invitation and dance with your heart

Night always creeps up unnoticed
Night comes quietly without being noticed

Look, get grooving, take in the moment with your usual step
Listen, start dancing and enjoy the moment with your usual dance moves

Look, let's dance, just the two of us under the moonlight
Look, let's dance together under the moonlight

Dusk falls, that illumination over there adorns the towering tower
The twilight approaches, that illumination over there decorates the tall tower

Twilight always brings excitement in the heart
Twilight always brings a feeling of excitement in the heart

Look, heart changes after 5 o'clock, you change your clothes too
Look, after five o'clock, hearts start to change, and you should change your clothes too

Look, let's get away, we'll run towards the city, towards the night sky
Come on, let's run away together towards the city, towards the night sky

Get grooving, take in the moment with your usual step
Start grooving and enjoy the moment with your typical dance moves

Look, let's dance, just the two of us under the moonlight
Listen, let's dance together under the moonlight

If you wanna do it baby love me tonight!
If you want to dance, please love me tonight!

If you wanna do it baby (tonight!)
If you want to dance, tonight is the night!

If you wanna do it baby
If you want to dance

If you wanna dance tonight
If you feel like dancing tonight

If you wanna do it baby love me tonight!
If you want to dance, please love me tonight!

(English translation of rough meaning of Japanese Lyrics)

If you wanna dance,Tonight
If you wanna, do it baby,
Love me tonight

If you wanna dance,Tonight
If you wanna, do it baby,
Love me tonight!

Open your heart to the fickle lure,
Let's dance together
The night always sneaks up on you softly while you're unaware
You get groovin',
Let's dance with the usual step, bathed in the limited crush of time.
Let's dance Under the moonlight,
It's just the time for only two of us, You and me

If you wanna dance ,Tonight
If you wanna, do it baby,
Love me tonight!

If you wanna dance ,Tonight
If you wanna, do it baby,
Love me tonight!

As dusk falls, The illumination that rises adorning the towering towers.
Whenever I see the twilight, a thrill starts in my own heart.
It's just time for the after 5 now.
Let's switch the mode of your mind.
Get away with me,
let's go out to the city with me, aiming at the night sky

If you wanna dance ,Tonight
If you wanna, do it baby, Tonight!

If you wanna dance ,Tonight
If you wanna, do it baby, Tonight!

We get groovin',
Let's dance with the usual step, bathed in the limited crush of time.
Let's dance Under the moonlight,
It's just the time only for two of us, You and me

If you wanna dance ,Tonight
If you wanna, do it baby,
Love me tonight!

If you wanna dance ,Tonight
If you wanna, do it baby
(Tonight!)
If you wanna dance baby ,Tonight

If you wanna, do it baby
If you wanna dance baby
Tonight

If you wanna, do it baby,
Love me tonight!
