[English]

Ayy 나 빼고 다 정신없이 다들 바빠 보여

이제 그만 멈춰 제발 stop

아무것도 안 해도 더 안 하고 싶어

내일 할 일은 내일로 미뤄도 되지 (break it down)

Ooh-ooh-ooh (yeah)

어차피 먼지가 될 거라면

자유롭게 날아갈래

Ooh-ooh-ooh

꿈이 없으면 어때 하고 싶은 대로 해

I'm not afraid

남들이 더 하면 난 그냥 더 뺄래 (yeah)

(Life is beautiful)

It's a beauty, life is beauty

My life is beautiful

하고 싶은 게 없어도 괜찮아

(Life is beautiful)

It's a journey, life is journey

It's so fabulous

조금 느리게 걸어도 괜찮아

(Life is beautiful)

Life is beautiful, oh oh oh oh

Life is beautiful

Life is beautiful, oh oh oh oh

Life is beautiful

Ra', spit out flame (go)

I sing a song like greenday

Viva la Vida like I'm coldplay

오늘만큼은 멋대로 해

남의 눈치 안 볼래 no way

세상이 뭐래도

주인공은 나라고

흘러가는 대로 둬

그런 게 나니까 (break it down)

Ooh-ooh-ooh (yeah-yeah)

어차피 먼지가 될 거라면

자유롭게 날아갈래

Ooh-ooh-ooh

꿈이 없으면 어때 하고 싶은 대로 해

I'm not afraid

마음먹은 대로 안 되면 뭐 어때 (yeah)

(Life is beautiful)

It's a beauty, life is beauty

My life is beautiful

하고 싶은 게 없어도 괜찮아

(Life is beautiful)

It's a journey, life is journey

It's so fabulous

조금 느리게 걸어도 괜찮아

(Life is beautiful)

Life is beautiful, oh oh oh oh

Life is beautiful

오늘이 마지막인 것처럼

날 내버려 둬 관심 갖지 마

다들 같은 걸음에 다들 똑같은 pose

시간이 멈춘 거라면 내 맘대로 pose

여긴 check 저긴 cool

남들 눈치 보지 마 그대로 keep going

끝나지 않을 여행의 그 길에서 (yeah)

(Life is beautiful)

It's a beauty, life is beauty

My life is beautiful (beautiful)

하고 싶은 게 없어도 괜찮아

(Life is beautiful)

It's a journey, life is journey (ooh-ooh)

It's so fabulous

조금 느리게 걸어도 괜찮아 (괜찮아)

(Life is beautiful)

Life is beautiful, oh oh oh oh

Life is beautiful

Life is beautiful, oh oh oh oh

Life is beautiful
