Lyrics:

[한국어]

[English]

첫눈에 널 알아보게 됐어 (hmm)

The moment I saw you, I knew instantly (hmm)

서를 불러왔던 것처럼 (hoo, hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo)

Just like calling out your name (hoo, hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo)

내 혈관 속 DNA가 말해줘 (hmm)

My DNA whispers to me (hmm)

내가 찾아 헤매던 너라는 걸 (hoo, hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo)

You're the one I’ve been searching for (hoo, hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo)

우리 만남은 (만남은) 수학의 공식 (수학의 공식)

Our meeting is (meeting) a mathematical formula (a formula)

종교의 율법 (율법) 우주의 섭리 (우주의 섭리)

Like a religious law (law), the universe’s order (the universe’s order)

내게 주어진 운명의 증거 (shoot), 너는 내 꿈의 출처 (shoot)

Proof of the destiny given to me (shoot), you’re the source of my dreams (shoot)

Take it, take it, 너에게 내민 내 손은 정해진 숙명

Take it, take it, my hand extended to you is destiny sealed

걱정하지 마, love

Don’t worry, love

이 모든 건 우연이 아니니까

Because none of this is just coincidence

우린 완전 달라, baby

We are totally different, baby

운명을 찾아낸 둘이니까

Because we found our destiny

우주가 생긴 그 날부터 계속 (계속)

Since the day the universe was created (continued)

무한의 세기를 넘어서 계속 (계속, 계속, yah)

Beyond infinite centuries (continued, continued, yah)

우린 전생에도, 아마 다음 생에도

We’re together from past lives, maybe even the next one

영원히 함께니까 (DNA)

Forever and ever, because we’re meant to be (DNA)

이 모든 건 우연이 아니니까 (DNA)

All of this isn’t just coincidence (DNA)

운명을 찾아낸 둘이니까 (DNA)

Because we’ve found our destiny (DNA)

I want it this love (this love)

I want this love (this love)

I, I want it real love (real love)

I, I want real love (real love)

난 너에게만 집중해, 좀 더 세게 날 이끄네

I only focus on you, guiding me even stronger

태초의 DNA (DNA) 가 널 원하는데 (하는데)

The primal DNA (DNA) wants you (wanting you)

이건 필연이야, I love us (love us)

It’s destiny, I love us (love us)

우리만이 true lovers (lovers)

Only we are true lovers (lovers)

그녀를 볼 때마다 소스라치게 놀라

Every time I see her, I get such a shock

신기하게 자꾸만 숨이 멎는 게 참 이상해 설마

It’s so amazing how I keep holding my breath — is this love, I wonder?

이런 게 말로만 듣던 사랑이란 감정일까? (Oh, yeah)

Could this be the feeling I’ve always heard about called love? (Oh, yeah)

애초부터 내 심장은 널 향해 뛰니까 (woo)

From the very start, my heart beats for you (woo)

걱정하지 마, love

Don’t worry, love

이 모든 건 우연이 아니니까

Because none of this is just coincidence

우린 완전 달라, baby

We’re totally different, baby

운명을 찾아낸 둘이니까

Because we found our destiny

우주가 생긴 그 날부터 계속 (계속)

Since the day the universe was created (continued)

무한의 세기를 넘어서 계속 (계속, 계속, yah)

Beyond infinite centuries (continued, continued, yah)

우린 전생에도, 아마 다음 생에도

We’re together from past lives, maybe even the next one

영원히 함께니까 (DNA)

Forever and ever, because we’re meant to be (DNA)

이 모든 건 우연이 아니니까 (DNA)

All of this isn’t just coincidence (DNA)

운명을 찾아낸 둘이니까 (DNA)

Because we’ve found our destiny (DNA)

...

...

돌아보지 말아

Don’t look back

운명을 찾아낸 우리니까

Because we found our destiny

후회하지 말아, baby

Don’t regret, baby

영원히, 영원히, 영원히, 영원히 (영원히, 영원히)

Forever and ever, forever and ever (forever, forever)

함께니까

Because we’re together

걱정하지 마, love (ah)

Don’t worry, love (ah)

이 모든 건 우연이 아니니까

Because none of this is just coincidence

우린 완전 달라, baby

We are totally different, baby

운명을 찾아낸 둘이니까 (DNA)

Because we found our destiny (DNA)

La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

우연이 아니니까 (DNA)

Because it’s not just chance (DNA)

La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

우연이 아니니까 (DNA)

Because it’s not just chance (DNA)
