[English]

If only I had a day with you

Lost in your sweet scent, I want to fall asleep peacefully

If I get the chance between busy schedules

I want to immerse myself in your warm, deep eyes

I like that, your long, flowing hair

When you tie it up, your stunning neck and the loose strands falling down

Wherever we go together, my hand in your waist

Yo ma honey, every time I see you, I lose my breath, like Myeongdong streets

Our background music is our breathing

Your voice calling my name

I want to dive in, get to know you better

An explorer venturing deep into the unknown forest of you

Reflecting on you as a work of art, because you are art itself

Every night I imagine this, even though it’s just a meaningless dream

If only I could be with you for a day

If only I could hold your hand for a day

If only I could be with you for a day

Just one day (just one day)

If only I could be with you

(Do It Do It Do It)

Hoping for just one day with you, just one day

(Do It Do It Do It)

A party just for us, one day with you

(Do It Do It Do It)

Hoping for just one day with you, just one day

(Do It Do It Do It)

A party just for us, one day with you

How wonderful would it be if that could happen

Eating anywhere, watching movies

If only I could watch just one episode

I’d do anything, really, anything, girl

I'm sorry, I think my mind is a bit too rational

But if we meet someday, I hope you'll smile

Maybe, or perhaps, you'll blame me a lot

Because I couldn't look at you more due to my dreams

Then just give me one day, even in a dream

All those words I had to swallow in the face of reality

Just one thing I want to say properly

Let's meet when the trumpet flower blooms, part when the flower withers

I didn't think it'd be so easy to forget

If I wish I was that way with you, is that selfish?

For your sake, I still lie to myself

You stand in the middle of my world

If only I could be with you for a day

If only I could hold your hand for a day

If only I could be with you for a day

Just one day (just one day)

If I could be with you, let's go, time

24 hours just you and me

From morning, exchanging kisses

Sharing an irresistible brunch

Holding hands under the sunlight

Never ending, in this beautiful night

Confessing to you, with the moon as our spotlight

All these words are telling me

"If only I had just one day, it would be possible"

If only I could be with you for a day

If only I could hold your hand for a day

If only I could be with you for a day

Just one day (just one day)

If I could be with you

(Do It Do It Do It)

Hoping for just one day with you, just one day

(Do It Do It Do It)

A party just for us, one day with you

(Do It Do It Do It)

Hoping for just one day with you, just one day

(Do It Do It Do It)

A party just for us, one day with you

If only I could be with you for a day

If only I could hold your hand for a day

If only I could be with you for a day

Just one day (just one day)

If only I could be with you

Can you please stay with me?

[Japanese]

하루만 내게 시간이 있다면

달콤한 니 향기에 취해서 곤히 난 잠들고파

빡빡한 스케줄 사이에 기회가 있다면

따스하고 깊은 눈 안에 몸 담그고파

I like that, 너의 그 길고 긴 생머리

올려 묶을 때의 아찔한 목선과 흘러내린 잔머리

서로 같이 어딜 가든 내 핸드백은 니 허리

Yo ma honey 볼 때마다 숨이 막혀 명동 거리처럼

우리의 bgm은 숨소리

내 이름을 불러줄 때의 니 목소리에

잠겨서 난 수영하고파 너를 좀 더 알고파

너란 미지의 숲을 깊이 모험하는 탐험가

너란 작품에 대해 감상을 해, 너란 존재가 예술이니까

이렇게 매일 난 밤새도록 상상을 해, 어차피 내게는 무의미한 꿈이니까

하루만 너와 내가 함께할 수 있다면

하루만 너와 내가 손잡을 수 있다면

하루만 너와 내가 함께할 수 있다면

하루만 (하루만)

너와 내가 함께할 수 있다면

(Do It Do It Do It)

너와 하루만 있기를 바래 바래

(Do It Do It Do It)

너와 단둘이 보내는 party party

(Do It Do It Do It)

너와 하루만 있기를 바래 바래

(Do It Do It Do It)

너와 단둘이 보내는 party party

그럴 수 있다면 얼마나 좋을까

아무데나 가서 밥 먹고 영화

한 편만 볼 수만 있다면

나란 애 정말 뭔 짓이라도 할 텐데 girl

I'm sorry, 내 머리가 넘 이성적 인가 봐

그래도 언젠가 보면 웃어줘

조금은, 아니 어쩌면 많이 날 원망하겠지

알아 내 꿈 때문에 널 더 바라보지 못해서

그럼 내게 하루만 줘, 꿈 속이라도 하루만

현실을 핑계 대며 삼켜야 했던 그 수많은 말

중에서 딱 한 마디만 제대로 할 수 있게

그래 나팔꽃이 필 때 만나 헤어지자 꽃이 질 때

쉽게 잊혀질 거라 생각 안 했지만

너에게 난 그랬음 좋겠다면 이기적일까

널 위해서라며 아직 난 거짓말하고 있어

넌 내 한가운데 서 있어

하루만 너와 내가 함께할 수 있다면

하루만 너와 내가 손잡을 수 있다면

하루만 너와 내가 함께할 수 있다면

하루만 (하루만)

너와 내가 함께 하고 있다면, let's go time

24 hours 너와 단둘이

있다면 아침부터 입맞춤해

빠질 수 없는 브런치도 한 입 해

손잡고 너와 햇빛에 몸 담그네

안 끝내, 아름다운 밤중에

너에게 고백해 조명은 달로 해

이 수많은 일들이 내게 말을 해

"단 하루만 있으면 가능해"

하루만 너와 내가 함께할 수 있다면

하루만 너와 내가 손잡을 수 있다면

하루만 너와 내가 함께할 수 있다면

하루만 (하루만)

너와 내가 함께할 수 있다면

(Do It Do It Do It)

너와 하루만 있기를 바래 바래

(Do It Do It Do It)

너와 단둘이 보내는 party party

(Do It Do It Do It)

너와 하루만 있기를 바래 바래

(Do It Do It Do It)

너와 단둘이 보내는 party party

하루만 너와 내가 함께할 수 있다면

하루만 너와 내가 손잡을 수 있다면

하루만 너와 내가 함께할 수 있다면

하루만 (하루만)

너와 내가 함께할 수 있다면

Can you please stay with me?
