[English]

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

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

Oh, on a sunny holiday that dazzles

Wearing a pretty white dress, oh, oh

I left the house, humming a tune

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

You look at me, lost in thought, looking again

That moment when you captured my heart, oh

With a trembling voice, your heart beats like a drum

And the sparkling sound of bells rings out

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

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

La-la-la-la-la (three, two, one)

Please give me that sweet taste, ice cream cake

A flavor that suits this special day

On the ice cream smeared on my lips

Your heart races, you'll come closer to me

It's so tasty

Come and chase me

I can't stand it

I scream, you scream

Gimme that, gimme that ice cream

Oh, vanilla, chocolate, honey with a cherry on top

I'll show you a variety every day, just for you

More than that fountain painting a rainbow

I'll be more drawn to you, who paints love

You take me away, hurry and leave

Put me on that little scooter, oh me

Oh, in my hand wrapping around your waist, today

Even if everything goes, my heart races

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

La-la-la-la-la (three, two, one)

Please give me that sweet taste, ice cream cake

A flavor that suits this special day

On the ice cream smeared on my lips

Your heart races, you'll come closer to me

It's so tasty

Come and chase me

I can't stand it

I scream, you scream

Gimme that, gimme that ice cream

I scream, you scream

Gimme that, gimme that ice cream

I scream, you scream

Gimme that, gimme that

Pops melting in my mouth

Stuffed so much, my mouth is melting

Baby boy, other guys know nothing

You're so fine, only choosing clothes that don't stand out

Never get me wrong, my boo

I have no interest in that bag

From boring Monday to Thursday, man, I wanna pass

In your gaze looking at me, see some good vibe

It's a good feeling, the moment our eyes meet

Gimme that, gimme that

Gimme that, gimme that

Gimme that, gimme that ice cream

Hurry up, that soft taste, ice cream cake

I'll keep the candle lit, waiting just for you

In a warm heart, ice cream cake

Before it melts away, kiss me

It's so tasty

Come and chase me

Your lips melt sweetly

I close my eyes

That sweet taste, ice cream cake

A flavor that suits this special day

On the ice cream smeared on my lips

Your heart races, you'll come closer to me

It's so tasty

Come and chase me

I can't stand it

I scream, you scream

Gimme that, gimme that ice cream

I scream, you scream

Gimme that, gimme that ice cream

I scream, you scream

Gimme that, gimme that, your lips

[Korean]

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

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

오, 햇살 눈 부신 한가론 휴일

예쁜 새하얀 원피스를 입고, 오, 오

난 집을 나섰지 콧노래 나오지

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

넌 나를 바라봐, 넋을 놓고 또 봐

네 맘을 사로잡아 버린 그 순간, 오

떨리는 목소리 네 맘엔 북소리

또 반짝이는 종소리가 울리지

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

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

La-la-la-la-la (three, two, one)

주세요 달콤한 그 맛 ice cream cake

특별해질 오늘에 어울리는 맛으로

입가에 묻은 ice cream에

네 가슴 두근거려, 내게 다가 오겠죠

It's so tasty

Come and chase me

못 참겠어

I scream, you scream

Gimme that, gimme that ice cream

Oh, vanilla, chocolate, honey with a cherry on top

매일 다양하게 보여줄 게 너에게만

무지갤 그려대는 저 분수대보다

난 사랑을 그려내는 네게 좀 더 끌릴 거야

넌 나를 데리고 떠나 어서 떠나

조그만 스쿠터에 태워봐, 오 날

오, 네 허릴 감싸는 내 손에 오늘이

다 가도 맘이 두근두근 거리지

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

La-la-la-la-la (three, two, one)

주세요 달콤한 그 맛 ice cream cake

특별해질 오늘에 어울리는 맛으로

입가에 묻은 ice cream에

네 가슴 두근거려, 내게 다가오겠죠

It's so tasty

Come and chase me

못 참겠어

I scream, you scream

Gimme that, gimme that ice cream

I scream, you scream

Gimme that, gimme that ice cream

I scream, you scream

Gimme that, gimme that

Pops 내 입안에 녹아내리는 중

잔뜩 넣어 내 입안이 녹아내리는 줄

Baby boy, 다른 남자들은 아무것도 몰라

You're so fine 해서 안 튀는 옷만 골라

Never get me wrong, my boo

I have no 관심 in that bag

지루한 월화부터 수목까지, man, I wanna pass

날 보는 네 시선에, see some good vibe

기분 좋은 느낌이야 너와 눈이 마주치는 순간

Gimme that, gimme that

Gimme that, gimme that

Gimme that, gimme that ice cream

어서요 부드런 그 맛 ice cream cake

오직 널 기다리며 촛불을 켜둘게요

따스한 맘에, ice cream cake

녹아버리기 전에 내게 입 맞춰줘요

It's so tasty

Come and chase me

네 입술이 달콤하게 녹아요

나는 눈을 감아요

달콤한 그 맛 ice cream cake

특별해질 오늘에 어울리는 맛으로

입가에 묻은 ice cream에

네 가슴 두근거려, 내게 다가오겠죠

It's so tasty

Come and chase me

못 참겠어

I scream, you scream

Gimme that, gimme that ice cream

I scream, you scream

Gimme that, gimme that ice cream

I scream, you scream

Gimme that, gimme that, your lips
