[English]

Yeah!

Song for my Juliette! Uh!

Let’s change into our real selves and share a kiss

Shedding selfish reasons, let’s throw them away

Eyes a little fickle, like a kitten’s

Reaching out, but the moonlight’s just out of grasp

Hey girl, I chase your perfume, so impatiently

I’ve got at least one chance too, right?

Juliette! I’ll give you my love

Juliette! I dedicate it to you

Juliette! With your sweet, fragrant voice

Whisper, serenade me

Half-hearted urges, like floating lips, confusing me

So, sparkle—(I’m Romeo) from here, on my knight’s path

If I’m to risk everything and steal you tonight

Even if I aim with my heart, no luck

Even if our eyes meet, I’ll act uninterested

But I want to be more honest with my instincts

If I get serious, I’ll take you, no turning back now

Hey girl, let’s stop this, no more games, I’m serious

I won’t let you have regrets either

Juliette! I’ll give you my love

Juliette! I dedicate it to you

Juliette! With your sweet, fragrant voice

(Let me hear your love till the end) whisper, serenade

We met to love each other

Our rising feelings are no mistake

I believe you feel the same, I’m gonna get your love

Make it certain, with my lips, yeah baby Juliette

Juliette! I’ll give you my love (I’ll give everything)

Juliette! I dedicate it to you (I wanna be with you, my girl, yeah, yeah)

Juliette! With your sweet, fragrant voice (so much...)

Whisper, serenade (Hey, the warmth of our bodies melting together)

Juliette! I’ll give you my love (Oh-oh-oh-oh, I want you, so I want you)

Juliette! I dedicate it to you (if you want me, don’t let me down)

Juliette! With your sweet, fragrant voice (shine brightly, moonlight...)

Whisper, serenade (SHI, SHI, SHI, SHINee)

Da Da Da Da Da Da Da

Da Da Da Da Da Da Da

Da Da Da Da Da Da Da

Love’s serenade

Da Da Da Da Da Da Da

Da Da Da Da Da Da Da

Da Da Da Da Da Da Da

Love’s serenade

[Japanese]

Yeah!

Song for my Juliette! Uh!

素顔に着替えて kiss をしよう

自分勝手な reason 脱ぎ捨ててよ

仔猫のようにちょっと 気まぐれな目

届きそうで 届かない moonlight

Hey girl 君の perfume more 追いかけて so 焦らされて

僕にだってチャンスぐらいあるだろ？

Juliette! この恋心を

Juliette! 君に捧げよう

Juliette! 甘く香る声で

囁いて serenade

半端な衝動ふわふわ惑わせるような lips

So キラリと (I'm Romeo) ここから騎士道

全てを賭け攫うなら今夜

心に刺さるように 狙ったって no

視線が交差したって 見事に気のないふり

でも本能にもっと素直でいたい

本気になれば奪ってみせるさ もう戻れない

Hey girl やめようよ more 駆け引きは so 僕だったら

君にだって後悔させないさ

Juliette! この恋心を

Juliette! 君に捧げよう

Juliette! 甘く香る声で

（最後まで聴かせて）囁いて serenade

愛し合うために僕たちは出逢った

高まってく感情 間違いじゃないよ

君だってきっとそうだって I'm gonna get your love

確かめさせて 唇で yeah baby Juliette

Juliette! この恋心を（すべて捧げよう）

Juliette! 君に捧げよう (I wanna be with you, my girl, yeah, yeah)

Juliette! 甘く香る声で（こんなに...）

囁いて serenade（ねぇこんなに溶け合う体温）

Juliette! この恋心を (Oh-oh-oh-oh, I want you, so I want you)

Juliette! 君に捧げよう (If you want me, don't let me down)

Juliette! 甘く香る声で（最高に 輝く moonlight...）

囁いて serenade (SHI, SHI, SHI, SHI, SHINee)

Da Da Da Da Da Da Da
