[English]

Engrave my number, in this moment I’m holding my breath inside your ocean

The deeper I go, the longer it gets, but I’m curious (curious)

Where exactly have I reached within you now?

It’s too (yeah) dark here, I can't see you

Surf on that wave, let’s leave far away

Drawing out a beautiful melody

Arriving at the island that is you, paradise

Stirring up waves inside your heart

Right now, it’s too lonely here

I deeply (deeply) want you

Oh, I’ll dive into you, so dazzling

Even if my breath runs out, it’s okay

Drawing beautiful curves, dive

On this once calm surface

I will make a wave, I will make a wave

You (you) are (are) my deep blue ocean

You (you) are (are) my universe

Tell me the number, how much deeper do I need to go? I can’t gauge it

Until I reach you, yeah

Okay, sunrise, blue shine, until I embrace you

Under the scorching sun, I’ll draw the horizon to reach only you

It’s becoming more distant, crazy, my gaze unraveling

Now, save me

Right now, it’s too lonely here

I deeply (deeply) want you

Oh, I’ll dive into you, so dazzling

Even if my breath runs out, it’s okay

Drawing beautiful curves, dive

On this once calm surface

I will make a wave, I will make a wave

Yeah, look at my eyes, look at my hands

Can’t you see my trembling figure?

In this vast ocean, a tiny

Spark ignites, I’ll show you

Right now, it’s too lonely (lonely)

I deeply (deeply) want you

Oh, I’ll dive into you, so dazzling

Even if my breath runs out, it’s okay

Drawing beautiful curves, dive

On this once calm surface

I will make a wave

Beyond the horizon, until I reach you, ooh

Dive, even if my breath runs out, it’s okay (oh, yeah)

Drawing beautiful curves, dive

On this once calm surface

I will make a wave, I will make a wave

You (you) are (are) my deep blue ocean

You (you) are (are), you are my universe, baby

You (you) are (are) my deep blue ocean

You (you) are (are), I’ll dive into you, so dazzling

새겨줘 number, 너란 바다 안에서 숨을 참은 이 시간

깊어질수록 길어져 근데 궁금해 (궁금해)

나는 지금 네 어디쯤에 와있는 걸까?

여긴 너무 (yeah) 어두워 I can't see you

저 파도에 surf, 떠나자 저 멀리

아름다운 선율을 그려내 drawing

너라는 섬에 도착해 paradise

네 맘속에 파도를 일으켜

지금 여긴 너무 lonely

너를 원한다고 deeply (deeply)

Oh, 눈부신 너에게 dive

턱 끝까지 숨이 차도 좋아

아름답게 곡선을 그려 dive

잔잔했던 이 수면 위에

I will make a wave, I will make a wave

You (you) are (are) my deep blue ocean

You (you) are (are) my universe

알려줘 number, 얼마나 더 깊어야 해, 가늠이 안 돼

너에게 닿을 때까지, yeah

Okay, sunrise, blue shine, 널 감싸 안을 때까지

뜨거운 태양 아래 수평선을 그려 네게로만 닿게

점점 아득해져 crazy, 풀려가는 눈빛

이젠 나를 구해줘 save me

지금 여긴 너무 lonely

이 바다 안에 조그마한

불씨를 지펴, I'll show you

지금 여긴 너무 lonely (lonely)

너를 원한다고 deeply (deeply)

Oh, 눈부신 너에게 dive

턱 끝까지 숨이 차도 좋아

아름답게 곡선을 그려 dive
