[English]

A lonely star, that funny story

(It’s electric)

The chaotic landing

A strange incident where I met you

The first star was cold

Crossing countless galaxies

A stranger suddenly crash-landing

You, a foreigner who's unfamiliar

Should I leave you behind?

Honestly, I care so much

Just for fun

Should I tease you a little?

Hey, what did you do to my mind?

I get curious about you

I might ask questions all night

(When the stars align)

If tonight is clear

And you say you’ll leave tomorrow

I’ve got a plan, just you and me

How about staying a bit longer?

My star says it’s a little lonely

I’ll play a song I’ve kept for you

Love is Cosmic

I’m riding on your rhythm

Through the solar system

Come with me

Let’s cross this night, just the two of us

Cosmic love

Riding your rhythm

Through the solar system

I want to know you more

Cosmic love

I’ve never felt this way before

Even thinking about it keeps me puzzled

This strange fuss

Even I find myself unfamiliar to you

Like watching an alien

I might get hurt

My star’s time flows slowly

You don’t have to rush

(When the stars align)

Maybe we’re like aimless

Travelers searching for a dream

A small meteor I wandered with

How about staying a bit longer?

My star says it’s a little lonely

I’ll play a song I’ve kept for you

Love is Cosmic

I’m riding on your rhythm

Through the solar system

Come with me

Let’s cross this night, just the two of us

Cosmic love

You come boldly

Holding out your scorched hand

Let’s leave together

Searching for things we haven't seen

I just can’t say goodnight

I can never say goodnight

Because your love is Cosmic

I’m riding on your rhythm

Through the solar system

Come with me

Let’s cross this night, just the two of us

Cosmic love

Leave tonight

Find the hidden star

We’ll name it together

Cosmic love

Riding your rhythm (on this night)

Through the solar system

I want to know you more

Cosmic love, oh yeah

[Korean]

외딴 별 그 Funny story

(It’s electric)

그 소란스런 Landing

너를 만난 별난 사건

첫 번째 별은 차가워

몇 번째 은하를 건너

멋대로 불시착한

그대란 낯선 이방인을

버려둘까

솔직히 너무 신경 쓰여

재미 삼아

놀려줄까?

Hey, what did you do to my mind?

네가 궁금해져

밤새 질문할 수도 있어

(When the stars align)

오늘 밤이 맑다면

내일 떠나겠단 너

I got a plan, just you and I

조금 더 머무르면 어때?

나의 별이 조금 외롭대

아껴둔 노래를 들려줄게

Love is Cosmic

I’m riding on your rhythm

Through the solar system

Come with me

우린 이 밤을 건너 둘이

Cosmic love

Riding your rhythm

Through the solar system

널 더 알고 싶어

Cosmic love

이런 감정 처음이라

곰곰이 생각해 봐도 물음표야

낯선 이 소동도

너에게도 내가 낯설지

외계인 보듯 보던 걸

상처받을 수도 있어

내 별의 시간은 천천히 흘러가

넌 서두르지 않아도 돼

(When the stars align)

어쩜 우린 주인 없는

꿈을 찾는 여행자

헤매이던 작은 유성

조금 더 머무르면 어때?

나의 별이 조금 외롭대

아껴둔 노래를 들려줄게

Love is Cosmic

I’m riding on your rhythm

Through the solar system

Come with me

우린 이 밤을 건너 둘이

Cosmic love

너는 성큼 다가와

그을린 손 내밀며

함께 떠나자 해

보지 못한 것들 찾자 해

I just can’t say goodnight

I can never say goodnight

‘Cause your love is Cosmic

I’m riding on your rhythm

Through the solar system

Come with me

우린 이 밤을 건너 둘이

Cosmic love

오늘 밤 떠나

숨겨진 별 찾아

이름 붙일 거야

Cosmic love

Riding your rhythm (이 밤을 타고)

Through the solar system

널 더 알고 싶어

Cosmic love oh yeah
