Lyrics:

[한국어]

[English]

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

뜨거운 리듬에 가슴이 뛰잖아

My heart's pounding to the hot rhythm

따라올라 지금 내 심장이

Climbing up right now, my heartbeat

너의 본능을 깨워

Awaken your instincts

이 시간이 지나가기 전에

Before this moment passes by

A-ya-ya 오늘 밤 나는 Dancing king

A-ya-ya, tonight I’m the Dancing King

내게 빠져들어

Lose yourself in me

A-ya-ya 오늘 밤 나와 Dance all night

A-ya-ya, tonight join me and dance all night

지루했던 하룰 벗어던져 버리고

Throw away your boring day

내 안에 잠들어있던 흥은 챙기고

Turn on the hidden fun inside me

올라타봐 여기 리듬이란

Get on this rhythm, right here

마법의 Señorita 깜짝 놀랄

A magic Señorita, you'll be surprised

밤을 선물해줄게

I’ll gift you a night to remember

서툰 몸짓에 너를 맡겨 그냥 미쳐

Just entrust your clumsy moves to me, and go wild

지친 가슴에 불을 땡겨 함께 춤을 춰

Light a fire in your tired heart, let's dance together

Cuz tonight

Cuz tonight

뜨거운 리듬에 가슴이 뛰잫아

My heart’s pounding to the hot rhythm

따라올라 지금 내 심장이

Climbing up right now, my heartbeat

Come on shake it 너의 본능을 깨워

Come on shake it, awaken your instincts

이 시간이 지나가기 전에

Before this moment passes by

A-ya-ya 오늘 밤 나는 Dancing king

A-ya-ya, tonight I’m the Dancing King

네게 빠져들어

Fall into me

A-ya-ya 오늘 밤 나와 Dance all night

A-ya-ya, tonight join me and dance all night

...

Ah, when you want to forget all your annoyances

Ah 짜증나는 일들 모두 잊고 싶을 때

Just forget worries and come find me

고민 말고 그냥 나를 찾아오면 돼

Yeah, mambo, tango, rumba, salsa, just say the word

Yeah 맘보 탱고 룸바 삼바 뭐든 말만 해

Buona sera, I’ll invite you to a wonderful world

Buona sera 멋진 세상으로 초대해 줄게

Just entrust your clumsy moves to me, and go wild

서툰 몸짓에 너를 맡겨 그냥 미쳐

Forget everything for now, and dance with me

이 시간만은 모두 잊어 함께 춤을 춰

Cuz tonight

Cuz tonight

My heart’s pounding to the hot rhythm

뜨거운 리듬에 가슴이 뛰잖아

It's rising now, my heartbeat

달아올라 지금 내 심장이

Come on shake it, awaken your instincts

Come on shake it 너의 본능을 깨워

Before this moment passes by

이 시간이 지나가기 전에

이 시간이 지나가기 전에

A-ya-ya 오늘 밤 나는 Dancing king

A-ya-ya, tonight I’m the Dancing King

네게 빠져들어

Fall into me

A-ya-ya 오늘 밤 나와 Dance all night

A-ya-ya, tonight join me and dance all night

Shake it to the left

Shake it to the left

Now shake it to the right

Now shake it to the right

달이 질 때까지 널 멈추지는 마

Don’t stop until the moon sets

Shake your body oh my

Shake your body, oh my

Dancing all night

Dancing all night

내게 눈이 먼 난 널 보낼 수 없어

I can’t take my eyes off you

어차피 한 번 사는 인생이잖아

It’s a once-in-a-lifetime life after all

달려 볼까 오늘 저 끝까지

Shall we run till the very end today?

Come on shake it 너의 본능을 깨워

Come on shake it, awaken your instincts

지금 우린 이대로 행복해

Right now, we are so happy like this

A-ya-ya 오늘 밤 나는 Dancing king

A-ya-ya, tonight I’m the Dancing King

네게 빠져들어

Fall into me

A-ya-ya 오늘 밤 나와 Dance all night

A-ya-ya, tonight join me and dance all night
