[English]

Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy

Oh Boy, the sunlight shining on me Oh Boy

Everyone, your gaze Oh Boy

You’re so dazzling, hey

Oh Boy, softly in my ear

Oh Boy, your sweet voice

Oh Boy, you woke me from my slumber, eh

With words I’ve never learned, I open my mouth

I open my eyes to hold only you

I discovered a side of me I didn’t even know, yeah

In the fantasy I’ve drawn in my dreams

He comes to find me, find me, find me

Approaching silently, just a breath-stopping smile

You surprise me, my eyes just blink

In a moment where time seems to stop, our lips almost touch

A new season blows into me

Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy

Oh Boy (Will you wake the hidden me?)

Oh Boy (When I open my eyes to your brilliance)

Oh Boy (It becomes a world different from yesterday)

Oh Boy, just like a puzzle

Oh Boy, you’re the piece that was missing

Oh Boy, you perfectly fit me

This familiar world feels somehow special

You call me, making everything beautiful

This amazing feeling is new to me, yeah

In the fantasy I’ve drawn in my dreams

He comes to find me, find me, find me

Approaching silently, just a breath-stopping smile

You surprise me, my eyes just blink

In a moment where time seems to stop, our lips almost touch

A new season blows into me

Oh Boy (Will you wake the hidden me?)

Oh Boy (When I open my eyes to your brilliance)

Oh Boy (It becomes a world different from yesterday)

Oh, fate is slightly lacking, this is a miracle

In front of a reality more wonderful than dreams, yeah

I can’t sleep anymore

This heart that has awakened for the first time

I can’t express it in words

Just look at me, my dear

With just a little whisper, long

I escape, escape, escape from the dream

You only have a gentle gaze and a warm smile

A strangely familiar scent, and your voice

I looked into your eyes that are gazing at me

Why did I bloom as a flower whose name I didn’t even know?

Oh Boy (Will you wake the hidden me?)

Oh Boy (When I open my eyes to your brilliance)

Oh Boy (It becomes a world different from yesterday)

Oh Boy

[Japanese]

Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy

Oh Boy 날 비춘 햇빛 Oh Boy

모두 네 눈빛 Oh Boy

넌 너무 눈이 부셔 Hey

Oh Boy 귓가에 살며시

Oh Boy 달콤한 목소리

Oh Boy 잠든 날 깨워준 너 Eh

배운 적 없었던 말로 입을 열고

오직 널 담으려 감은 눈을 뜨고

나조차 정말 몰랐던 날 발견한 걸 Yeah

꿈에 그려온 환상 속

그가 날 찾아와 찾아와 찾아와

또 말없이 다가와 숨 멎는 미소만

넌 내게 깜짝 난 눈만 깜박

입술 닿을 듯 시간이 멈춘 순간

내 안으로 새로운 계절이 불어와

Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy

Oh Boy (숨겨진 나를 깨워줄래)

Oh Boy (눈부신 네게 눈을 뜰 때)

Oh Boy (어제완 다른 세상이 돼)

Oh Boy 마치 퍼즐처럼

Oh Boy 한 조각이 없던

Oh Boy 날 완벽히 맞춘 너야

익숙한 세상이 왠지 특별하게

네가 날 불러서 전부 아름답게

놀라운 이런 감정은 난 처음인데 Yeah

꿈에 그려온 환상 속

그가 날 찾아와 찾아와 찾아와

또 말없이 다가와 숨 멎는 미소만

넌 내게 깜짝 난 눈만 깜박

입술 닿을 듯 시간이 멈춘 순간

내 안으로 새로운 계절이 불어와

Oh Boy (숨겨진 나를 깨워줄래)

Oh Boy (눈부신 네게 눈을 뜰 때)

Oh Boy (어제완 다른 세상이 돼)

Oh 운명은 살짝 부족해 이건 기적인 걸

꿈보다 멋진 현실 앞에 Yeah

더 이상 잠들지 못해

처음 깨어난 이 맘을

말로는 표현 못해

나만을 봐줘 나의 그대

작은 속삭임 하나에 긴

꿈을 벗어나 벗어나 벗어나

넌 지긋한 눈빛과 따뜻한 미소만

참 낯선 향기 또 네 목소리

날 바라보는 네 눈을 바라본 나

왜 이름도 몰랐던 꽃으로 피어나

Oh Boy (숨겨진 나를 깨워줄래)

Oh Boy (눈부신 네게 눈을 뜰 때)

Oh Boy (어제완 다른 세상이 돼)

Oh Boy
