[English]

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na

Facing each other with cold purpose, like a sharp-edged voice,

It's full of suffocation, oh, whoa, oh (eh, eh-eh)

With eyes covered, like that, we've firmly closed off each other's

Hearts trying to ignore what's happening

Uh, burning up, feeling like I'm about to crack, breathless

I'm so thirsty, filling this one glass to the brim

Tonight, feeling dangerously unsteady, ready to burst

It's the love shot

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Oh, it's the love shot

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Oh, it's the love shot

Broken love and hate, memories that were beautiful,

Getting stained white, gradually fading away (-eoga)

Getting deeper every day, calm down (calm down), with words that hurt (words)

A heart burned black, where is love? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Blocking ears and eyes, desperately wandering, but ultimately the answer is love

A craving for too much ego fills the stomach, and an empty glass of compassion

(Ooh) Now let's refill it all again

It's the love shot

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na (oh, oh, oh, oh)

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Oh (hey, hey), it's the love shot

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na (ooh-whoa)

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Oh, it's the love shot

People come and people go, you and I are frozen in time (you and I)

Getting accustomed to dull emotions gradually

My heart burns, dry and about to split apart,

I soak the trust in you, filling the gaps

Set fire to my heart that’s about to go out

(Yeah) it's the love shot

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na (ayy, ayy, ayy)

Na, na-na, na-na, na-na (uh, it's the love shot)

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na (oh, oh, oh, oh)

Oh (yeah), it's the love shot

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na (the love shot)

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Oh, it's the love shot

[Korean]

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na

차갑도록 서롤 겨눈 채, 날이 선 듯 그 목소리엔

숨 막히는 것만 가득해, oh, whoa, oh (eh, eh-eh)

눈을 가린 채로 그렇게, 굳게 닫아버린 서로의

맘이 애써 외면하는 걸

Uh, 타들어 가, 갈라질 듯 숨이 막혀와

갈증이 나, 이 한 잔을 가득히 담아

넘칠 듯한 위태론 오늘 밤을 난

It's the love shot

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Oh, it's the love shot

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Oh, it's the love shot

비틀려버린, love and hate, 아름다웠던 기억들

하얗게 물들여져, 조금씩 바래어가 (-어가)

매일 더 깊어져, calm down (calm down), 상처가 되는 말과 (말과)

검게 타버린 마음, where is love? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

눈과 귀를 막고 억지로 헤매봐도 결국 정답은 love

Too much ego에 주린 배를 불리고 비어버린 한 잔의 compassion

(Ooh) 이제 다시 채워 들어보자 다

It's the love shot

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na (oh, oh, oh, oh)

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Oh (hey, hey), it's the love shot

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na (ooh-whoa)

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Oh, it's the love shot

People come and people go, 세상에 멈춰선 너와 난 (너와 난)

무뎌진 감정들에 서서히 익숙해져 가

심장이 타, 메마르다 갈라질 듯한

믿음에 난, 너로 적셔 틈을 채워가

꺼질 듯한 내 맘에 불을 붙여놔

(Yeah) it's the love shot

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na (ayy, ayy, ayy)

Na, na-na, na-na, na-na (uh, it's the love shot)

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na (oh, oh, oh, oh)

Oh (yeah), it's the love shot

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na (the love shot)

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Oh, it's the love shot
