English Translation:

Hurry up, walk quickly!
Lift your feet up so you won't miss it,
Wake up, take advantage,
The Tap-Tap is warming up!

If your legs are short, get a head start;
The best time is now,
Don't say you didn't know,
Those who are wise are those who lead.

Don't let time pass you by,
It's time for you to get on board,
The Tap-Tap is leaving now,
It's time for us to go!

Hurry up, walk quickly!
Lift your feet up and don't miss it,
The Tap-Tap is taking off!
Don't fool around, get on!
Don't wait, don't stare,
Don't joke around, get on!
The Tap-Tap might just leave you!

Get up! Stand proud!
Those of you who know what you want,
Those of you with your minds made up,
Don't miss a great opportunity
To do something for the nation!

Listen, don't miss a great opportunity to do something,
Get up, stand proud, don't sit around and wait!

Get up! Let's go!

Don't waste your time,
Go learn something useful
To benefit society,
And enhance humanity.

Keep your feet on the ground,
Keep your eyes open,
Don't cast your pearls before swine,
Drugs will hold you back.

Get up! Stand proud!
Walk quickly, let's go!
It's time for you to get on board,
The Tap-Tap is on its way,
It's speeding up, it will not stop;
Jump on it if you want to make it!

Let's go!
