[English]

Work

...

Come on

Even the sound of my breath is like music on stage (Let's go)

My sweat drops feel like heavy rain for you (Woo!)

Always hot and shining

Riding on stage

Your eyes react before your heart does (Work)

Right now, we overflow with excessive heat

There's no time to sit back and play

Enjoy the process, run with me even more

Wanting more and more freely

Too lit, too litty, we rolling

I am your dream

Becoming the path to your dream

I can give your dream

Right into your hands, oh

With a pure expression

The child who danced is now smiling

Set this track on fire, oh

We got that

Boom, boom, boo-oom, boom, boom

Boom, boom, boo-oom, boom, boom

Boom, boom, boo-oom, boom, boom (Yeah, we got that)

Boom, boom, boo-oom, boom, boom (We like that)

Throwing myself, waking you up

Show me what you got

The result is crazy

As my heart races

Jump right now

Skip the words that don't fit me

I want to be the winner of every story

Fear is zero

Now, in reverse

My excited heart is racing at 100 kilometers per hour

I’m the VIP of all the lights

Never waited, don’t make me wait

Remember, my beat is everywhere

Your heart is melting like ice cream

Right now, we are the players who made that dream come true

The me inside me shouts praises for myself

Every minute and second feels thrilling, danger

I want a more intense tremor

We’re rolling higher (We’re rolling higher)

I am your dream

Becoming the path to your dream

I can give your dream

Right into your hands, oh

With a pure expression

The child who danced is now smiling

Set your heart on fire, oh

We got that

Boom, boom, boo-oom, boom, boom

Boom, boom, boo-oom, boom, boom

Boom, boom, boo-oom, boom, boom (Yeah, we got that)

Boom, boom, boo-oom, boom, boom (We like that)

Throwing myself, waking you up

Show me what you got

The result is crazy

As my heart races

Jump right now

So full of

Confident eyes, you know (You know)

We can handle it all (We can)

My dream has become reality, and now I

Fly freely

I am your dream

Becoming the path to your dream

I can give your dream

Right into your hands, oh (Baby, yeah)

With a pure voice

The child who sang is now smiling (Oh, oh yeah)

Leading you onto this track, oh

We got that

Boom, boom, boo-oom, boom, boom

Boom, boom, boo-oom, boom, boom

Boom, boom, boo-oom, boom, boom (Yeah, we got that)

Boom, boom, boo-oom, boom, boom (We like that)

Throwing myself, waking you up

Show me what you got

The result is crazy

As my heart races

Jump right now

Too lit, too litty, we rolling

난 너의 꿈이자

꿈에 닿는 통로가 돼

기다린 적 No 기다리게 하지

기억해 어디서도 나의 나의 Beat

녹을 걸 네 맘은 Ice cream

지금 우린 그 꿈을 이뤄낸 Player

내 안의 난 날 향한 찬사를 외쳐

일분일초가 느끼는 전율 Danger

더 자극적인 떨림을 난 원해

우린 더 높이 We rolling (우린 더 높이 We rolling)

난 너의 꿈이자

꿈에 닿는 통로가 돼

너의 꿈을

손에 쥐여줄 수 있어 Oh
