[한국어]

[English]

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na

Oh 아무것도 안 했는 왜 시간은 벌써 3시

Oh, I didn't do anything but time's already 3 o'clock

아이스 아메리카노 마셔도 왜 더 후끈후끈하니

Even with an iced americano, why am I still feeling so hot?

태양은 우릴 놀리고 아스팔트 온도 50도 (Wow)

The sun's playing tricks on us, asphalt's at 50 degrees (Wow)

원해요 에너지 차갑거나 아예 뜨겁게

I want energy, cold or super hot

Summer magic 반짝인 그 ocean 위로

Summer magic, over the sparkling ocean

난 벌써 날아

I'm already flying

Go, go 에어플레인 번개처럼 날아라

Go, go, airplane, fly like lightning

카우아이 파도 속 나를 던져 버리게

Throw myself into the waves of Kauai

이예이예 이예이예이예이예

Yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay

Let's power up 까맣게 다 타버릴 거예요

Let's power up, everything will burn to ash

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na

Ba, let's power up 놀 때 제일 신나니까요

Ba, let's power up, 'cause playing is the best fun

Oh 좋아하는 걸 원해봐요

Oh, I want what I love

I want it, I want it, want it, want it, yeah

I want it, I want it, want it, want it, yeah

매일 그대 열정은 타오르죠

Your passion burns every day

I'll take it, I'll take it, take it, take it, yeah

I'll take it, I'll take it, take it, take it, yeah

그런 게 우리의 천재적인 파워야

That's our genius power

즉흥적 본능적 맞아 그게 필요해

Spontaneous and instinctive, yeah, we need that

떠나요 오늘 밤 짜릿함을 찾으러

Let's go tonight to find the thrill

레벨업

Level up

엔진 소리 들뜬 맘의 백그라운드 뮤직

Engine roaring, the background music of our excited hearts

봐! 벌써 날아

Look! I'm already flying

Go, go 에어플레인 태양 위로 날아라

Go, go, airplane, fly over the sun

Diving to the sky 완전 소름 돋았어

Diving into the sky, totally chills

이예이예 이예이예이예이예

Yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay

Let's power up 까맣게 다 타버릴 거예요

Let's power up, everything will burn to ash

Go, go 에어플레인 번개처럼 날아라

Go, go, airplane, fly like lightning

카우아이 파도 속 나를 던져 버리게

Throw myself into the waves of Kauai

이예이예 이예이예이예이예

Yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay

Let's power up 까맣게 다 타버릴 거예요

Let's power up, everything will burn to ash

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na

Ba, let's power up 놀 때 제일 신나니까요

Ba, let's power up, 'cause playing is the best fun

선생님은 내게 말씀하셨죠

The teacher told me

놀 때도 일할 때도 즐겁게 해

Have fun both when playing and working

그래 난 유달리 반짝거렸죠

Yeah, I shine brighter than anyone

뜨거움도 새로움도 it's mine

Warmth and newness, it's mine

Go, go 에어플레인 번개처럼 날아라

Go, go, airplane, fly like lightning

카우아이 파도 속 나를 던져 버리게

Throw myself into the waves of Kauai

이예이예 이예이예이예이예

Yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay

Let's power up 까맣게 다 타버릴 거예요

Let's power up, everything will burn to ash

Go, go 에어플레인 번개처럼 날아라

Go, go, airplane, fly like lightning

카우아이 파도 속 나를 던져 버리게

Throw myself into the waves of Kauai

이예이예 이예이예이예이예

Yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay

Let's power up 까맣게 다 타버릴 거예요

Let's power up, everything will burn to ash

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na

Ba, banana-ba-ba, banana-na-na
