[English]

Blow, whoosh, red spark

My heart is like you, dangerously about to ignite

Even if I try to gently cover you

What should I do about you that won't go out?

In that small warmth I thought was fragile

What were you hiding? (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

There are many of me inside, the whole night is noisy

Did you hear my words? (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Now is the timing

It's the dawn when I open my eyes

Awaken the spark

Burn brighter, whoosh, whoosh whoosh

So it won't go out, bright red

Spread even wider, whoosh, whoosh

Right now, the hottest

The small, tiny spark inside me

Spark, spark, don't go out, bloom

Spark, spark, fly away at dawn

New spark, spark, burn your whole body like dancing

New spark, spark, don't go out, bloom

Illuminate this dark blackness

You who shine in front of me

I can go anywhere, oh-oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Riding the strong wind, when I rise and look down

We are travelers of this star (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Yesterday, you were just dreaming on the road

Like a small bird, like a small bird

Now is the timing, it's your time

Breathe life into the spark, awaken it

Burn brighter, whoosh, whoosh whoosh

So it won't go out, bright red

Spread even wider, whoosh, whoosh

Right now, the hottest

The small, tiny spark inside me

Spark, spark, don't go out, bloom

Spark, spark, fly away at dawn

New spark, spark, burn your whole body like dancing

New spark, spark, don't go out, bloom

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (hmm)

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (hmm)

A long wait, believe in your time

You, who resemble me, awaken the spark, yeah, yeah, yeah

Burn brighter, whoosh, whoosh whoosh (burn brighter, ooh, oh)

So it won't go out (hot) bright red

Spread even wider, whoosh, whoosh (spread, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Right now, the hottest (hey, yeah, yeah)

Burn brighter, whoosh, whoosh whoosh (burn brighter, ooh, whoa, whoa)

So it won't go out, bright red

Spread even wider, whoosh, whoosh

Right now, the hottest

The small, tiny spark inside me

[Korean]

불어, 후후, 빨간 불티야

내 마음도 너 같아, 타오를 듯 위험한

살포시 널 눌러 덮으려 해 봐도

꺼지지 않는 너를 어떻게 해야 하나?

여릴 줄만 알았던 그 작은 온기 속

뭐를 감추고 있었니 (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

내 안에 내가 많아, 온 밤이 소란한데

혹시 내 말을 들었니 (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

이제 타이밍이야

눈 뜰 새벽이야

불티를 깨워

더 타올라라, 후, 후후후

꺼지지 않게 붉디붉은 채

더 크게 번져, 후, 후후

지금 가장 뜨거운

내 안의 작고 작은

불티야, 불티야, 꺼지지 말고, 피어나

불티야, 불티야, 새벽을 훨훨 날아가

새 불티야, 불티야, 춤추듯 온몸을 살라

새 불티야, 불티야, 꺼지지 말고, 피어나

이 까만 어둠을 동그라니 밝혀

내 앞을 비추는 너

어디든 갈 수 있어, oh-oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

세찬 바람을 타고, 떠올라 내려 보면

우린 이 별의 여행자 (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

어제 길 위의 넌 꿈만 꾸고 있었지

작은 새처럼, 작은 새처럼

이제 타이밍이야, 너의 시간이야

숨을 불어넣어 불티를 깨워

더 타올라라, 후, 후후후

꺼지지 않게 붉디붉은 채

더 크게 번져, 후, 후후

지금 가장 뜨거운

내 안의 작고 작은

불티야, 불티야, 꺼지지 말고, 피어나

불티야, 불티야, 새벽을 훨훨 날아가

새 불티야, 불티야, 춤추듯 온몸을 살라

새 불티야, 불티야, 꺼지지 말고, 피어나

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (hmm)

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (hmm)

오랜 기다림, 너의 시간을 믿어

나를 닮은 너 불티를 깨워, yeah, yeah, yeah

더 타올라라, 후, 후후후 (더 타올라라, ooh, oh)

꺼지지 않게 (뜨거운) 붉디붉은 채

더 크게 번져, 후, 후후 (번져, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

지금 가장 뜨거운 (hey, yeah, yeah)

더 타올라라, 후, 후후후 (더 타올라라, ooh, whoa, whoa)

꺼지지 않게 붉디붉은 채

더 크게 번져, 후, 후후

지금 가장 뜨거운

내 안의 작고 작은 불티야
