Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Eh-eh, eh, eh

...

Eh-eh, eh, eh

...

ABC, I was as innocent as the Do‑Re‑Mi scale

That gaze changed completely, perhaps because it’s still me

I soar like a blue butterfly

Everything I couldn’t catch is yours

Even the moments when everything blossomed

Now it’s all just lies, lies, lies to me

You and I, scorched red

I’m okay, are you okay?

A beautiful, cloudless day

Only the fragrance of flowers was left behind

...

Only the fragrance of flowers was left behind

You and me, feverishly hot, but…

My sole lilac, brutally trampled

I soar like a white flower petal

The one I didn’t catch is you

Guided by the softly blowing wind

Spring arrives, but we say bye, bye, bye

You and I, scorched red

I’m okay, are you okay?

A beautiful, cloudless day

Only the fragrance of flowers was left behind

...

Only the fragrance of flowers was left behind

Now it’s goodbye, goodbye

I will never look back

One leaf called regret

Falling from you in the spring rain

Only the fragrance remains, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Only the fragrance of flowers was left behind

...

[Korean]

Eh-eh, eh, eh

Eh-eh, eh, eh

ABC, 도레미만큼 착했던 나

그 눈빛이 싹 변했지, 어쩌면 이 또한 나니까

난 파란 나비처럼 날아가

잡지 못한 건 다 네 몫이니까

활짝 꽃피웠던 시간도

이제 모두 내겐 lie, lie, lie

붉게 타버려진 너와 나

난 괜찮아, 넌 괜찮을까?

구름 한 점 없이 예쁜 날

꽃향기만 남기고 갔단다

꽃향기만 남기고 갔단다

You and me, 미칠 듯이 뜨거웠지만

처참하게 짓밟혀진 내 하나뿐인 라일락

난 하얀 꽃잎처럼 날아가

잡지 않은 것은 너니까

살랑살랑 부는 바람에 이끌려

봄은 오지만 우린 bye, bye, bye

붉게 타버려진 너와 나

난 괜찮아, 넌 괜찮을까?

구름 한 점 없이 예쁜 날

꽃향기만 남기고 갔단다

꽃향기만 남기고 갔단다

이젠 안녕, goodbye

뒤는 절대 안 봐

미련이란 이름의 잎새 하나

봄비에 너에게서 떨어져

꽃향기만 남아, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

꽃향기만 남기고 갔단다
