[English]

How could my day be bad when I'm with you?

You're the only one who makes me laugh

So, how can my day be bad?

It's a day for you

...

Lately, life's so boring

I've been watching Netflix all day long

I thought there would be

No things left to watch

So I let myself out

...

When I went to the park

I recognised you at a glance

Face to face, we just smiled

We already know that we'll be together (we'll be together)

How could my day be bad when I'm with you?

You're the only one who makes me laugh

So, how can my day be bad?

It's a day for you

Oh, baby

...

Coffee in the morning, you and the sun

There's a brown hue in your eyes

How pretty it is

I think I'm in love

...

When I went to the park

I recognised you at a glance

Face to face, we smiled

And I finally held your hands

How could my day be bad when I'm with you?

You're the only one who makes me laugh

So, how can my day be bad?

It's a day for you

Oh, baby

How could my day be bad when I'm with you?

You're the only one who gives me love

So, how can my day be bad?

It's a day for you

Oh, baby

...
