[English]

Hi Girl from Wonderland

Shall I come find you?

On a special dance floor

Step one, move your feet

You can let your heart race and just go with the flow

Smile naturally

Spin around, so what if it's dizzying?

Because I see you having fun

Lean on each other's sides, even when morning comes

Today, tomorrow, I’ll be with you

Baby, You are my Lucky Star

The one who made me smile

A fragrant flower blooming just for you

If only you stay close by my side

Baby, Baby, Baby,

A whole new world, a dream we've found together

A sensation igniting in your cherished heart

Still, it's not too early for temptation

Girl, will you keep calling my name?

On the shining path, only to you, Nananana, now!

In the dark night, shining bright

Lead me, follower

Following the starry sky

To you, follower

The Only One of luck

Hearts and souls overlapping

When our eyes meet

When we share a secret kiss

No one else is jealous of us

Like the bright star shining in the sky forever

I will shine brightly only on you

Baby, You are my Lucky Star

The only one by my side

My heart dancing toward you is a Flower

If only you stay with me forever this way

Baby, Baby, Baby,

A whole new world, a dream just for you

Someday,

Even if we hit an unknown wall

If we stay together, we can overcome it

And then, we'll meet a changed version of ourselves

A future where everything feels new

Baby, You are my Lucky Star

The one who made me smile

A fragrant flower blooming just for you

If only you stay close by my side

Baby, Baby, Baby,

A whole new world, a dream we found together

Our own Paradise

Baby, Baby, Baby,

A whole new world, a dream we found together

...

Hi Wonderland의 Girl

찾으러 갈까

뭔가 특별한 Dance Floor에

One step 발을 맞춰봐

설레는 맘에 몸을 맡겨도 돼

웃어 봐 자연스럽게

빙글빙글 돌아 뭐 어때

즐거워하는 네가 있기에

서로의 곁에 기대봐 아침이 밝아 와도

오늘도 내일도 난 너와 함께해

Baby, You are my Lucky Star

날 웃게 한 한 사람

널 향해 피어난 향기로운 Flower

너 하나만 가까이 곁에 있어준다면

Baby, Baby, Baby,

Whole New World 우리가 함께 찾아낸 꿈

아껴온 너의 가슴에 타오른 Sensation

그래도 아직 아직 이른 Temptation

Girl, 계속해 나를 불러줄래

빛이 나는 길 너만을 향해 Nananana Now!

까만 밤 빛을 내며

이끌어줘 Follower

하늘의 별을 따라

너에게로 Follower

행운의 Only One

서로 겹쳐보는 Heart and Soul

시선이 마주쳤을 때

비밀스레 키스를 할 때

어느 누구도 부럽지 않아

저 하늘에 밝게 빛나는 별처럼 영원히

오로지 너만을 환하게 비출게

Baby, You are my Lucky Star

내 곁의 단 한 사람

널 향해 춤추는 내 마음은 Flower

영원토록 이렇게 나와 있어준다면

Baby, Baby, Baby,

Whole New World 오직 난 너만을 위해서

Someday,

이유 모를 벽에 부딪혀도 함께

한다면 이겨낼 수 있을 거야

분명 그때는 더 달라진

모습을 만나게 될 거야

Baby, You are my Lucky Star

날 웃게 한 한 사람

널 향해 피어난 향기로운 Flower

너 하나만 가까이 곁에 있어준다면

Baby, Baby, Baby,

Whole New World 우리가 함께 찾아낸 꿈

우리만의 Paradise

Baby, Baby, Baby,

Whole New World 우리가 함께 찾아낸 꿈
