     För i natt, i natt är det du, är det jag, och vi följer så lätt minsta motståndets lag. Mot en himmel som har nummer sju, inget stoppar oss nu. Åh, i natt, i natt, kom och ge, kom och ta, kom och dansa med mig, du är allt jag vill ha. Ingenting som vi gör är tabu, inget stoppar oss nu.

     For tonight, tonight it is you, it is I, and we so easily follow the path [law] of least resistance. Towards a heaven that has number seven, nothing stops us now. Oh, tonight, tonight, come and give, come and take, come and dance with me, you are all that I want. Nothing that we do is taboo, nothing stops us now.
