[English]

The night that blooms more brightly begins

A new chapter written for me, the first page, yeah

6960 magic, the dancing tips are crazy

A toast for me now

All the do's and don'ts, I'm tired of them all now

I want to fly riding the raindrops (look at me)

Don't be afraid, you won't get hurt

My life is waiting for you (yes, you)

The girl smiling at me in the mirror (hakuna matata)

My heart is beating for you (yes, you)

No more fairy tale

The night is tic-tak-tic-tak (ring my heart)

Mago, mago, judge me now

I won't waver

Mago, mago, dance for me

The night is tic-tak-tic-tak (feel so high)

I become both light and darkness

Both lies and truths can exist

Just if you want, joy and sorrow will be as you wish

I will become all of it

The flames rise and the moonlight is full

We can dance in this moon night again (come with me)

Raise your glass, bring the future

My life is waiting for you (yes, you)

The girl smiling at me in the mirror (hakuna matata)

My heart is beating for you (yes, you)

No more fairy tale

The night is tic-tak-tic-tak (ring my heart)

Mago, mago, judge me now

I won't waver

Mago, mago, dance for me

The night is tic-tak-tic-tak (feel so high)

In the midnight

In this midnight, oh

Born again in the blessing of flames, I fly

My life is waiting for you (yes, you)

The girl smiling at me in the mirror (hakuna matata)

My heart is beating for you (yes, you)

No more fairy tale

The night is tic-tak-tic-tak (ring my heart)

Mago, mago, judge me now

I won't waver

Mago, mago, dance for me

The night is tic-tak-tic-tak (feel so high)

[Korean]

더 활짝 필 밤이 시작돼

새로 쓰는 진짜 날 위한, the first page, yeah

6960 magic, 춤추는 발끝은 crazy

날 위한 축배를 now

모든 do's and don'ts, 지루해 이젠 다

빗자룰 타고 날아 볼래 (look at me)

두려워하진 마 다치진 않아

My life is waiting for you (yes, you)

거울 속 날 보고 웃는 그녀 (hakuna matata)

My heart is beating for you (yes, you)

No more fairy tale

밤은 tic-tak-tic-tak (ring my heart)

Mago, mago, 심판해 봐 지금 날

흔들리지 않을 테니

Mago, mago, 나를 위한 춤을 춰

밤은 tic-tak-tic-tak (feel so high)

나는 빛이자 어둠이 되고

거짓도 진실도 될 수가 있어

그저 원하면 원하는 대로 기쁨과 슬픔 그대로

다 내가 될 거야

불꽃은 피고 달빛이 가득해

We can dance in this moon night again (come with me)

잔을 들어 봐 미래를 가져 봐

My life is waiting for you (yes, you)

거울 속 날 보고 웃는 그녀 (hakuna matata)

My heart is beating for you (yes, you)

No more fairy tale

밤은 tic-tak-tic-tak (ring my heart)

Mago, mago, 심판해 봐 지금 날

흔들리지 않을 테니

Mago, mago, 나를 위한 춤을 춰

밤은 tic-tak-tic-tak (feel so high)

In the midnight

In this midnight, oh

불꽃의 축복 속 다시 태어나서 날아

My life is waiting for you (yes, you)

거울 속 날 보고 웃는 그녀 (hakuna matata)

My heart is beating for you (yes, you)

No more fairy tale

밤은 tic-tak-tic-tak (ring my heart)

Mago, mago, 심판해 봐 지금 날

흔들리지 않을 테니

Mago, mago, 나를 위한 춤을 춰

밤은 tic-tak-tic-tak (feel so high)
