[English]

Yeah, yeah

Everyday, an island pops up

It hurts

It's so lonely in this city

A wish as big as the unfamiliar window

Q, the long journey is still far

Slightly leaning on a familiar plan, Hotel

You've probably forgotten me

Just a handful

The outside's clear, but it's still the same

Let's love babe, it's been a long time

Sleeping soundly in my arms

Laughing, that old habit

Falalilalullai, I look

Falling for you again, babe, I'm hooked

I'm back, I'm back, I'm back

I'm back in town

My heart feels lighter in this new village

Grab onto the blue grass field where the wind blows

My long-drawn-out nostalgia, babe, I know

Familiar, yet new

My height suddenly grew

Keep looking at me

Zoom on and on and on and on

Now I think I know, you let me breathe

I want to live here forever

You do that, Yes I can

Let's love babe, it's been a long time

Sleeping soundly in my arms, laughing, that old habit

...

Falalilalullai, I look

Falling for you again, babe, I'm hooked

I'm back, I'm back, I'm back

I'm back in town

My heart feels lighter in this new village

Grab onto the blue grass field where the wind blows

My long-drawn-out nostalgia, babe, I know

...

[Korean]

야야

매일 뜬 섬쉽

아픈 걸

이 도시엔 참 외로워

낯창만 한 위시를

큐, 아직 멀고긴 여해

익숙한 계획이 오일 텔 살짝 기대 해

날 잊었을걸

한 뭉치만

겉을 머리 맑은데 그대로네

Let's love babe it's been along time

내 품에 잘 구면

웃는 관저기

Falalilalullai ilook

잘 루파에 빠다여 베브 안 박

암 백 암 백 암 백

I'm back in town

뉴슴마을 뫔이 가벼워 져

바람이 있는 푸른 풀별을 붙잡고 쳐라

오래 그린 나의 향수약 베브 안다

익숙한 듯 새롭지

키가 홀짝 카발했지

계속 들여다만 줘

Zoom on and on and on and on

이젠 알 것 같아 넌 나를 숨쉬게 해

영원히 여기 살래

You do that, Yes I can

Let's love babe it's been along time

내 품에 잘 구면 웃는 반저기

Falalilalullai ilook

잘 루파에 빠다여 베브 안 박

암 백 암 백 암 백

I'm back in town

뉴슴마을 뫔이 가벼워 져

바람이 있는 푸른 풀별을 붙잡고 쳐라

오래 그린 나의 향수약 베브 안 박
