Hey Doli Doli Doli
We don't need any distance
Come, let's celebrate and see
Lali Lali, the lullaby I sing
Come, let's celebrate to the fullest...
If there is a wall,
we can break it down
If there is an obstacle, we can smash it
We must open our hearts and rejoice
Hey ey ey...
With our fingertips, we'll rewrite fate
We'll change the colour of the stars
Youth is our only identity
There are no reins to hold us back...
Hey Doli Doli Doli
We don't need any distance
Come, let's celebrate and see
Lali Lali, the lullaby I sing
Come, let's celebrate to the fullest...
...
A new east, a new light
The world is a flower garden, hey!
New faces, new minds
I like everything!
New hands, new lies
This too is a game of chance, hey!
New places, new paths
I like everything!
A new crowd, a new dance
I like that too...
With our fingertips, we'll rewrite fate
We'll change the colour of the stars
Youth is our only identity
There are no reins to hold us back...
...
A drop of rain,
the petal of a flower—
isn't this the age to enjoy them? Hey!
The dew falling on the blades of grass,
would we ever pass by without looking?
To touch fire, to leap across an island,
isn't this a daring heart? Hey!
To the dancing wave and the drifting cloud,
shall we become an anchor?
Twin hearts that align and part,
shall we come together as one? Ah...
Hey Doli Doli Doli
We don't need any distance
Come, let's celebrate and see
Lali Lali, the lullaby I sing
Come, let's celebrate to the fullest...
If there is a wall,
we can break it down
If there is an obstacle, we can smash it
We must open our hearts and rejoice
Hey ey ey...
With our fingertips, we'll rewrite fate
We'll change the colour of the stars
Youth is our only identity
There are no reins to hold us back... ey...
Aha ha ha ha ha ha... ah...
Aah ha ooh-ha...
