[English]

I feel it at once

I'll take you in like cheese

Smelling the scent, savoring the colors

I'll elegantly devour you more than wine

Ah, but my claws are losing strength

Even my appetite is fading

Am I perhaps in pain?

Am I sick or something?

Yeah, this is serious

Hey, get a grip

How did I end up losing my heart to a human?

She's just a bite away

Hey, bite hard, then

Shake it up, make me lose my mind

Hey, let's try a style we've never done

Finish it before that big full moon sets

Yeah, Wolf, I'm a Wolf, Awouuuu

Ah, I love you, I'm a wolf and you're a beauty

Yeah, Wolf, I'm a Wolf, Awouuuu

Ah, I love you, I'm a wolf and you're a beauty

In this irresistible, intense feeling

I've fallen, let me go

I like it simple, within me

What was hidden is now awake

...

Yeah, look at her, she's in fear

Can't understand the situation in front of me

That filthy wolf will eventually devour me

That's not it, I'm in love

So beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

My dear, my dear, my dear, Whoo

Don't be afraid, afraid, afraid of me

I am a special, special, special Wolf

The Wolf that loves you, loves you, loves you

The Wolf blinded by you, blinded by you, blinded by you

Hey, bite hard, then

Shake it up, make me lose my mind

Hey, let's try a style we've never done

Finish it before that big full moon sets

Yeah, Wolf, I'm a Wolf, Awouuuu

Ah, I love you, I'm a wolf and you're a beauty

Yeah, Wolf, I'm a Wolf, Awouuuu

Ah, I love you, I'm a wolf and you're a beauty

I'll give you what you need

I'll give you what you want

Just follow me, follow me, follow me

Trust me, keep it on

I can't wake up from this nightmare

But sometimes it's really sweet

Your move is too slow

Now I will take you down

Don't back down now, Baby

The moment I've imagined

This romance

Yeah

Finally, finally, finally I got you

I can't let go of you, this is serious

I can't let go of you, this is serious

...

That yellow moon mocks me

Saying I can't have you

I'm just a rough beast

If you're going to say that, get lost

If you need it, change me

I can never let her go

In this irresistible, intense feeling

I've fallen, let me go

I like it simple, within me

What was hidden is now awake

Irresistibly intense

I've fallen into this feeling, let me go

I like it simple

What was hidden within me is now awake

Yeah, Wolf, I'm a Wolf, Awouuuu

Ah, I love you, I'm a wolf and you're a beauty

Yeah, Wolf, I'm a Wolf, Awouuuu

Ah, I love you, I'm a wolf and you're a beauty

...

[Korean]

촉이 와 단번에 느껴

널 한 입에 치즈처럼 집어넣을 테다

향길 맡고 색깔 음미하고

와인보다 우아하게 잡아먹을 테다

아 그런데 발톱에 힘이 빠져

입맛까지 으 없어져

혹시 내가 아픈 건가

병이라도 걸린 거니

Yeah 큰일 났지

헤이 정신 차려

어쩌다 인간에게 맘을 뺏겨버렸나

그녀는 한 입 거리뿐이라고

Hey 확 물어 그다음

막 막 흔들어 정신 잃게

Hey 자 안 해본 스타일로

저 큰 보름달이 지기 전에 해치워라

그래 Wolf 내가 Wolf Awouuuu

아 사랑해요 난 늑대고 넌 미녀

그래 Wolf 내가 Wolf Awouuuu

아 사랑해요 난 늑대고 넌 미녀

거부할 수 없이 강렬한 이 느낌에

빠져버려 나를 놨어

난 단순한 게 좋아 내 속에

숨어있던 것이 지금 눈 떴어

Yeah 그녈 좀 봐 공포에 빠져

눈앞의 시추에이션 이해 못해 못해

저 더러운 늑대 놈이 결국 날 잡아먹겠지

그게 아닌데 사랑에 빠진 겁니다

너무 아름다 아름다 아름다운

그대 내 님아 내 님아 내 님아 Whoo

나를 두려워 두려워 두려워 마

나는 특별한 특별한 특별한 Wolf

그대 사랑한 사랑한 사랑한 Wolf

네게 눈이 먼 눈이 먼 눈이 먼 Wolf

Hey 확 물어 그다음

막 막 흔들어 정신 잃게

Hey 자 안 해본 스타일로

저 큰 보름달이 지기 전에 해치워라

그래 Wolf 내가 Wolf Awouuuu

아 사랑해요 난 늑대고 넌 미녀

그래 Wolf 내가 Wolf Awouuuu

아 사랑해요 난 늑대고 넌 미녀

I'll give you what you need

I'll give you what you want

Just follow me follow me follow me

Trust me keep it on

악몽처럼 깨어날 수 없지만

때론 정말 달콤해

Your move is too slow

Now I will take you down

이젠 물러서지 말아 Baby

상상해왔던 Moment

This romance

Yeah

Finally finally finally I got you

널 못 끊겠어 큰일 났어

널 못 끊겠어 큰일 났어

저 노란 달이 나를 놀려

널 가질 수 없다고

난 그냥 거친 야수인데

그딴 말할 거면 꺼져

필요하다면 날 바꿔

그녈 절대 보낼 수가 없어

거부할 수 없이 강렬한 이 느낌에

빠져버려 나를 놨어

난 단순한 게 좋아 내 속에

숨어있던 것이 지금 눈 떴어

거부할 수 없이 강렬한

이 느낌에 빠져버려 나를 놨어

난 단순한 게 좋아

내 속에 숨어있던 것이 지금 눈 떴어

그래 Wolf 내가 Wolf Awouuuu

아 사랑해요 난 늑대고 넌 미녀

그래 Wolf 내가 Wolf Awouuuu

아 사랑해요 난 늑대고 넌 미녀
