[English]

Hey, hey, well, oh, oh, hey, hey

What I'm about to say (hey, hey, hey, hey)

Might sound a little strange (hey, hey, hey, hey)

I'm always flustered because you're (hey, hey, hey, hey)

Kind of difficult

I've come to want you so much (ooh)

Oh, baby, baby, please, don't go (ooh)

Kneeling before you

All of this feels so natural (hey, hey, hey-hey)

I can't help but beg you endlessly

Damn, I can't even sleep

I don't even know what this feeling is

You're cold and hot, devil, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

A summer downpour shower, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

After soaking my heated body

You make me thirsty again

You're the salt of that faraway desert, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

The scarlet shade of the equator, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

Making me taste pleasure for a moment

And then making me thirsty again

You're cold and hot

Someday, when you (hey, hey, hey, hey)

Are lonely and crying (hey, hey, hey, hey)

I'll wipe away those tears (hey, hey, hey, hey)

If you'll just allow me

The stars cast fate (ooh)

I've come to desperately-ly want you (ooh)

I crave you all day, then despair

Wow, everything is just amazing

No adjective is enough

More complicated than romantic

I don't even know what this feeling is

You're cold and hot, devil, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

A summer downpour shower, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

After soaking my heated body

You make me thirsty again

You're the salt of that faraway desert, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

The scarlet shade of the equator, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

Making me taste pleasure for a moment

And then making me thirsty again

You're cold and hot

Parched and drenched

You're the one I want to taste, huh

Listen (listen)

Accept me (accept me)

I say, "I just like everything" ("I just like everything")

I say, "I like everything about you" ("I just like everything about you")

And I say, "You're beautiful" ("You're beautiful")

And I say, "Become mine"

You're cold and hot, devil, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

A summer downpour shower, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

After soaking my heated body

You make me thirsty again

You're the salt of that faraway desert, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

The scarlet shade of the equator, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

Making me taste pleasure for a moment

And then making me thirsty again

You're cold and hot

(Oh, oh) You're cold and hot (ah-ah-ah)

(Oh, oh) You're cold and hot (ah-ah-ah)

(Oh, oh) You're cold and hot (ah-ah-ah)

You make me thirsty, you, devil, you're hot

[Korean]

Hey, hey, well, oh, oh, hey, hey

지금 내가 하려는 말이 (hey, hey, hey, hey)

좀 이상할지 몰라 (hey, hey, hey, hey)

왜인지 넌 좀 어려워서 (hey, hey, hey, hey)

난 늘 쩔쩔매니까

이토록 원하게 되고 (ooh)

Oh, baby, baby, please, don't go (ooh)

당신 앞에 무릎 꿇는 것도

이 모든 게 너무 자연스러워 (hey, hey, hey-hey)

한없이 자꾸 애원하게 해

젠장 잠조차 못 자게 돼

도대체 이 감정이 뭔지 모르겠잖아

넌 차고 뜨거워, devil, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

한여름 소나기 샤워, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

달궈진 온몸을 적셔온 뒤에

그리곤 또 목 타 오게 하지

넌 저 먼 사막의 소금, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

새빨간 적도의 그늘, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

한순간 쾌락을 맛보게 하곤

그리고 또 목 타 오게 하지

넌 차고 뜨거워

어느 날 말이야 네가 (hey, hey, hey, hey)

외로워 울 때에 (hey, hey, hey, hey)

내가 그 눈물 닦아 줄게 (hey, hey, hey, hey)

부디 허락한다면

별은 운명을 던져 (ooh)

간절히-절히 원하게 됐어 (ooh)

온종일 갈구해 또 절망해

와 모든 게 놀라울 뿐이야

어떤 수식어로도 부족한

로맨틱보다 좀 더 복잡한

도대체 이 감정이 뭔지 모르겠잖아

넌 차고 뜨거워, devil, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

한여름 소나기 샤워, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

달궈진 온몸을 적셔온 뒤에

그리곤 또 목 타 오게 하지

넌 저 먼 사막의 소금, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

새빨간 적도의 그늘, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

한순간 쾌락을 맛보게 하곤

그리고 또 목 타 오게 하지

넌 차고 뜨거워

목 타 오르는 다 적셔 오는

맛보고 싶은, huh, 그대야

들어줘 (들어줘)

받아줘 (받아줘)

I say, "나는 그냥 다 좋아" ("나는 그냥 다 좋아")

I say, "네 모든 게 다 좋아" ("네 모든 게 다 좋아")

And I say, "아름다운 너" ("아름다운 너")

And I say, "내 것이 되지"

넌 차고 뜨거워, devil, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

한여름 소나기 샤워, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

달궈진 온몸을 적셔온 뒤에

그리곤 또 목 타 오게 하지

넌 저 먼 사막의 소금, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

새빨간 적도의 그늘, oh, oh (ah-ah-ah)

한순간 쾌락을 맛보게 하곤

그리고 또 목 타 오게 하지

넌 차고 뜨거워

(Oh, oh) 넌 차고 뜨거워 (ah-ah-ah)

(Oh, oh) 넌 차고 뜨거워 (ah-ah-ah)

(Oh, oh) 넌 차고 뜨거워 (ah-ah-ah)

목 타 오게 하지 넌, devil, 뜨거워
