[English]

She said, "Don't call me tonight"

I'm already in your alleyway

And just as luck would have it, the rain starts falling

It's getting lonely, so now, adiós

...

Adiós

...

Nothing is going my way

And my head is throbbing

But it's too much to just lose my temper

I have too much at stake—my future, money, fame, love, I can't even count

My friend, light a fire for me

So that I have no regrets today, anyone

Please, stay with me

Youth fades away, and so does the pain

All that's left is a sense of regret

That too will fade, and eventually leave

Oh, youth, it's too painful to stay

No, no, don't cry, baby

Oh, it's morning already

I'm not even ready to face the sun yet

There's no such thing as a perfect day, and that's why we live

Even for this broken day, adiós, adiós

My love, light a fire for me (ah)

So that I have no regrets right now, anyone

Please, stay with me

Youth fades away, and so does the pain

All that's left is a sense of regret

That too will fade, and eventually leave

Oh, youth, it's too painful to stay

No, no, don't cry, baby

Don't call me tonight

I'll try to get through today on my own

And just as luck would have it, the rain falls

I feel relieved now, so adiós

Forget about keeping up appearances

All my friends, oh, all my love

Fight even harder, this too shall pass

All my endings, all my starts

Fight even harder, this too shall pass

Oh, yeah, oh

Alright, it's a night to go wild

...

[Korean]

She said, "Don't call me tonight"

이미 너의 집 골목길

마침 비는 내려와

처량해지네, 이제는 adiós

Adiós

되는 일 하나 없고

머린 지끈지끈대네

무턱대고 화를 내기엔

걸릴 게 많아, 내 미래, 돈, 명예, love, 못 세

My friend, 불을 지펴줘

오늘이 후회 없게 누구라도

Please, stay with me

젊음은 가, 아픔도 지나가

남겨진 건 아쉬운 마음

그 또한 가, 결국은 떠나가

머물기엔 못내 아픈 청춘이여

No, no, don't cry, baby

Oh, 아침이야

아직 해를 볼 준비가 안 됐는데

후회 없는 하루는 없고, 그래서 우리는 살아

망가진 오늘마저, adiós, adiós

My love, 불을 지펴줘 (ah)

지금이 후회 없게, 누구라도

Please, stay with me

젊음은 가, 아픔도 지나가

남겨진 건 아쉬운 마음

그 또한 가, 결국은 떠나가

머물기엔 못내 아픈 청춘이여

No, no, don't cry, baby

Don't call me tonight

오늘은 혼자 견뎌볼게

마침 비는 내려와

후련해지네, 이제는 adiós

품위 따위는 집어치우고

All my friends, oh, all my love

더 발악해, 이 또한 가

All my endings, all my starts

더 발악해, 이 또한 가

Oh, yeah, oh

좋아, 날뛰고픈 밤
