[English]

If there is a God of music in the world

I want to thank you and hold you close

A universal language for everyone

Even if consonants and vowels are different, it doesn't matter—because it's Music

Even if words don’t connect, as long as there's music

From now on, we can be the closest friends

Even if you and I don’t know each other, we can dance

We can mix it up right now

Sugar and spice

Brass sound and guitar

If it's four characters, it’s my name

Is 'Kongchi Paki' also my name?

Is this also a shout for me?

Kick snare

Drum bass

Piano

Bassline

What brings us happiness?

Is there anything—let’s dance and sing

This is our happiness

Once again, hey

Because music is our breath

It’s not dangerous—keep breathing it in

Everybody, listen carefully

If there is a God of music in the world

This is a message I’m giving you

Let’s gather each note, one by one, sound-

Dance and sing, feeling fantastic

Kong Chi Pak Chi, Dong Dong Chi Pak Chi, yeah

Kong Chi Pak Chi, Dong Dong Chi Pak Chi, yeah

Kong Chi Pak Chi, Dong Dong Chi Pak Chi, yeah

Happiness is right here and now

Think about it—our noise is also music

Living in harmony in our own ways

Even the sound of ants’ footsteps is Harmony

What brings us happiness?

Is there anything—let’s dance and sing

This is our happiness!

Once again, hey

Because music is our breath

It's not dangerous—keep inhaling it

Everybody, listen closely

If there is a God of music in the world

This is a message I’m sending to you

Dance and sing, feeling fantastic
