[English]

Start the engine and let's drive tonight

Running non-stop, feel the heat inside

Baby, I can do this every day and night

Tonight, just trust me and follow along

Start the engine and let's drive tonight

Running non-stop, feel the heat inside

Baby, baby, we're gonna do it day and night

No need to hold back, it's our drive

In the soft moonlight, I hold onto you

This scene feels so familiar in my dreams

Like a streetlight that brightens the dark road, yeah

I'll take you anywhere, I promise

Ride on the highway to heaven

A special connection just for the two of us

Show all your colors, feel at ease

We'll do this forever

Start the engine and let's drive tonight

Running non-stop, feel the heat inside

Baby, I can do this every day and night

Tonight, just trust me and follow along

Start the engine and let's drive tonight

Running non-stop, feel the heat inside

Baby, baby, we're gonna do it day and night

No need to hold back, it's our drive

We'll be dancing with the shadows in the night

The stars are jealous knowing you're by my side

Feel the adrenaline, acceleration

In the course, we'll be driving so rough

Ride like the motions of the ocean

High tide in the moonlight

One way emotion, satisfaction

(Skrrt skrrt) We ain't stopping now

I won't let you go until the end

Hold on tight as the speed increases

Dreaming of the peak with you, oh

'Cause we don't give a (uh)

Start the engine and let's drive tonight

Running non-stop, feel the heat inside

Baby, I can do this every day and night

Tonight, just trust me and follow along

Start the engine and let's drive tonight

Running non-stop, feel the heat inside

Baby, baby, we're gonna do it day and night

No need to hold back, it's our (uh)

(Drive) Ooh yeah

은은한 달빛 속에서 너를 간직해

꿈에선 이 장면 많이 본 듯해

어두운 길을 밝혀주는 가로등 같애 yeah

책임지고 어디든 데려갈게

Ride on the highway to heaven
