[English]

빨리빨리 피해 right, cherry bomb, feel it, yum

빨리빨리 피해 right, cherry bomb, feel it, yum

빨리빨리 피해 right, cherry bomb, feel it, yum

빨리빨리 피해 right, cherry bomb, feel it, yum

I'm the biggest hit, I'm the biggest hit on this stage

I'm the biggest hit, I'm the biggest hit on this stage

I'm the biggest hit, I'm the biggest hit on this stage

I'm the biggest hit, I'm the biggest hit on this stage

시간이 됐지 반드시, I'ma do my thing

대기실 앞은 바글거려 다들 눈 못 떼

모두 따라와, yo, hands up in the air

We back, get away, 이제 막 터질 거야 everywhere

나를 삼켜봐 그리곤 느낀 stomach

꽤 오래 절여진 cherry bomb 언제, 언제 터질지 몰라

Poppin' your head like 킹스맨 chip

No fireman, 이건 fireworks, cherries in the sky-high

I'm the biggest hit, I'm the biggest hit on this stage

I'm the biggest hit, I'm the biggest hit on this stage

If you're happy, and you know it, clap your hands, yo (in this beat)

If you're happy, and you know it, clap your hands (in this beat)

빨리빨리 피해 right, cherry bomb, feel it, yum

빨리빨리 피해 right, cherry bomb, feel it, yum

빨리빨리 피해 right, cherry bomb, feel it, yum

빨리빨리 피해 right, cherry bomb, feel it, yum

I'm the biggest hit, I'm the biggest hit

모두 다, 쉿, 터지기 직전의 스릴

It tastes like a cherry bomb

쉽게 보다가는 큰일 나

이미 넌 빠져들어 가

팽창하는 지금 폭발 직전인 기분

죽이네, do-do that, 노랠 불러야지, na-na-na

꽂힌 안전핀들 다 뽑아냈지

다 깜짝 놀라겠지 모두가, we're gonna make it, ha-ha

I'm the biggest hit, I'm the biggest hit on this stage

I'm the biggest hit, I'm the biggest hit on this stage

If you're happy, and you know it, clap your hands, yo (in this beat)

If you're happy, and you know it, clap your hands (in this beat)

빨리빨리 피해 right, cherry bomb, feel it, yum

빨리빨리 피해 right, cherry bomb, feel it, yum (clap your hands like this)

빨리빨리 피해 right, cherry bomb, feel it, yum

빨리빨리 피해 right

끝이 어디인지?

어디까지 갈 수 있는지? (Yeah, yeah)

이제 시작해 just the half of it

뒷걸음질 치는 모습, it's over

떠들기 바쁜 세상 속에

갇혀 헤매고 싶지는 않아

단 한번의 불꽃으로 내 전불 태워

I'm the biggest hit, I'm the biggest hit (yeah)

Uh, hard rock scalp, head shot, pop, no talk

어딜 가나 숙이는 삶, 주변 탐색하는 자들께 박수

Ayy, 너네 덕에, 분명히 정신을 차렸네

쫓기는 거 싫어서 이젠 앞에서 말해

허리는 너 앞에서 안 굽힐게, keep watching

맨날 보기를 바래, hater, hater, talk talk

뭘 먹어도 너네껀 소화 잘돼, take a fist or stone or a gunshot

독해져 버린 nine, 받아봐 cherry bomb

I'm the biggest hit, I'm the biggest hit on this stage

I'm the biggest hit, I'm the biggest hit on this stage (yeah, yeah)

If you're happy, and you know it, clap your hands, yo (in this beat)

If you're happy, and you know it, clap your hands

If you're happy, and you know it, clap your hands, yeah

빨리빨리 피해 right, cherry bomb, feel it, yum

빨리빨리 피해 right, cherry bomb, feel it, yum (clap your hands like this)

빨리빨리 피해 right, cherry bomb, feel it, yum

빨리빨리 피해 right, cherry bomb, feel it, yum

나나나나나나

I'm the biggest hit, I'm the biggest hit on this stage

나나나나나나

I'm the biggest hit, I'm the biggest hit on this stage

나나나나나나

어서 빨리 피해 right, cherry bomb

나나나나나나

어서 빨리 피해 right, cherry bomb

I'm the biggest hit, I'm the biggest hit on this stage
