[English]

A‑B‑C, Do‑Re‑Mi

I was just that nice

That gaze in your eyes completely changed

Maybe this is another side of me

I fly away like a blue butterfly

It’s because you didn’t hold on

Even the moments when we were in full bloom

Lie, lie, lie to me

Crimson flames burned us both

I’m fine—are you?

On a beautiful day without a single cloud

There was nothing left but the scent of a flower

There was nothing left but the scent of a flower

You and I, even though we were

Madly in love

My sole lilac, cruelly trampled

I fly away like a white petal

It’s because you didn’t hold on

Softly swaying now

Spring arrives, and we say goodbye

Crimson flames burned us both

I’m fine—are you?

On a beautiful day without a single cloud

There was nothing left but the scent of a flower

There was nothing left but the scent of a flower

Now goodbye, goodbye

Never looking back

A leaf called hesitation

Falling away from you in a spring rain

Nothing left but the scent of a flower

[Korean]

A-B-C, Do-Re-Mi

I was as nice as that

That look in the eye changed completely

Perhaps this is also a side of me

I fly away like a blue butterfly

It's all on you that you didn't hold on

Even the times that we were in full bloom

A lie, lie, lie to me

Crimsonly burned down you and I

I'm okay, would you be as well?

On a beautiful day without a single cloud

There was nothing left but the scent of a flower

There was nothing left but the scent of a flower

You and me, although we were

Madly in love

Cruelly trampled, my one and only lilac

I fly away like a white petal

It's all on you that you didn't hold on

Softly swaying now

Spring comes but we say bye bye bye

Crimsonly burned down you and I

I'm okay, would you be as well?

On a beautiful day without a single cloud

There was nothing left but the scent of a flower

There was nothing left but the scent of a flower

Now goodbye, goodbye

Never looking back

A leaf named hesitance

Falling away from you by a spring shower

Nothing left but a scent of a flower
