Lyrics & Translation

[Korean]

[English]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Mmm-mmm

Mmm-mmm

시끄럽게 쌓인 생각은 접어

Silence the noisy thoughts, put them aside

두근대는 리듬 즐겨 like festa

Enjoy the accelerating rhythm, like a party

가장 좋아하는 운동화를 신고

Wear your favorite sneakers

숨차게 달려봐

Run as fast as you can

대체 누가 뭐가 그리 답답한데?

Who’s really bothering you so much?

원래 내일 걱정 따윈 내일모레

Tomorrow’s worries can wait until the day after tomorrow

일어나 지도 않은 일은 몰라도 돼

Don’t worry about things that haven’t even happened yet

그게 더 fun해

That’s what makes it more fun

한껏 즐겨볼래 매일이 festa

Let’s enjoy every day like a party

금새 짜릿하게 기분이 up, yeah

Feeling so excited, my mood is rising, yeah

상쾌한 color 마음에

A fresh, vibrant color filling my heart

파랗게 물들고 있어

Colored all in blue

시끄러운 도심도 나의 무대

Even the noisy city is my stage

두근대는 리듬 즐겨 like festa

Enjoy the accelerating rhythm, like a party

감각들을 전부 깨워줄 순간

A moment that will awaken all your senses

더 높이 뛰어봐 (oh, oh, oh)

Jump even higher (oh, oh, oh)

하고 싶은 건 다 해도 돼

Do everything you want

더 실컷 소리쳐 fun, fun하게

Shout out loud to the fullest, fun, fun

가장 좋아하는 표정을 짓고

Make your favorite expression

신나게 웃어봐

And smile happily

일 더하기 1은 (yeah), 그냥 2인데

Adding one more thing to work (yeah), it’s just two

뭐를 자꾸 더해 (땡), 땡, think again

Why keep adding more? (ding), ding, think again

새까맣게 칠했던 어제에 (yeah)

Splash stars on yesterday painted black (yeah)

별빛을 뿌려

Sprinkle them around

시끄러운 도심도 나의 무대

Even the noisy city is my stage

두근대는 리듬 즐겨 like festa

Enjoy the accelerating rhythm, like a party

감각들을 전부 깨워줄 순간

A moment that will awaken all your senses

더 높이 뛰어봐 (oh, oh, oh)

Jump even higher (oh, oh, oh)

하고 싶은 건 다 해도 돼 (oh, oh)

Do everything you want (oh, oh)

더 실컷 소리쳐 fun, fun하게

Shout out loud to the fullest, fun, fun

가장 좋아하는 표정을 짓고

Make your favorite expression

신나게 웃어봐

And smile happily

It's okay to repeat, it's okay to dream

It's okay to repeat, it's okay to dream

전부 특별해져 you and me, 어느새

Everything feels special, you and me, before we know it

It's okay to repeat, it's okay to dream

It's okay to repeat, it's okay to dream

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

멈출 수 없는 이 시작을 즐겨

Enjoy this unstoppable beginning

가장 좋아하는 색깔을 골라 (ooh)

Choose your favorite color (ooh)

감각들을 전부 깨워줄 순간

A moment to awaken all your senses

느껴봐 my festa (oh, oh, oh)

Feel my festa (oh, oh, oh)

하고 싶은 건 다 해도 돼 (oh, oh)

Do everything you want (oh, oh)

더 실컷 소리쳐 fun, fun하게

Shout out loud to the fullest, fun, fun

가장 좋아하는 표정을 짓고

Make your favorite expression

신나게 웃어봐

And smile happily

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
