날카로운 Secret 둘러싼

A sharp secret surrounds

얘긴 베일 속에

The story is hidden

점점 더 깊은 H-H-Hush

Getting deeper H-H-Hush

맘을 겨눠 이제

Aim for my heart now

여긴 온통 어두운 밤하늘색

Here it's all dark night sky color

그림자조차 길을 잃게 해

Even shadows lose their way

Oh 넌 항상 Love is game

Oh, you always say love is a game

쉽게 즐기는 가벼움일 뿐이라고

It's just a lightness you enjoy easily

뭐 이렇게 못된 얘기로 자꾸

Why do you keep trying to avoid

피해 가려고만 하니 왜

With such bad stories?

커지는 Heart b-b-beat

The heart b-b-beat is growing

빨라지는데

It's getting faster

너답잖게 Heart b-b-b-beat

Uncharacteristically, the heart b-b-b-beat

거려 나를 볼 때

When you look at me

마지막 남은 순간까지

Until the last remaining moment

점점 다가오지 Crazy

It's getting closer, crazy

아찔하게 겨눈 Russian Roulette

Dizzyingly aimed Russian Roulette

Ah-ah-ah-yeah

Ah-ah-ah-yeah

La-la-la-la-la (넌 이미)

La-la-la-la-la (you already)

Heart b-b-b-beat

Heart b-b-b-beat

마지막 남은 순간까지

Until the last remaining moment

내게 맡기게 될 거야 넌

You'll leave it to me

달콤한 너의 Russian Roulette

Your sweet Russian Roulette

반짝인 Secret

A sparkling secret

더 이상 외면하진 못해

I can't turn away anymore

버튼은 내가 P-P-Push

I'll P-P-Push the button

받아들여 이제

Accept it now

니 맘 온통 내 모습 채워지게

So your heart fills with my image

꿈꿀 때조차 나를 찾게 돼

Even when dreaming, you find me

Oh 아직 넌 Love is game

Oh, you're still saying love is a game

내게 말해도 흔들려 니 목소리도

Even if you tell me, your voice shakes

장난스레 스친 눈빛 너머로

Through the playful glances that brushed

어쩔 줄 모르는 니 모습

Your helpless appearance

커지는 Heart b-b-beat

The heart b-b-beat is growing

빨라지는데

It's getting faster

너답잖게 Heart b-b-b-beat

Uncharacteristically, the heart b-b-b-beat

거려 나를 볼 때

When you look at me

마지막 남은 순간까지

Until the last remaining moment

점점 다가오지 Crazy

It's getting closer, crazy

아찔하게 겨눈 Russian Roulette

Dizzyingly aimed Russian Roulette

Ah-ah-ah-yeah

Ah-ah-ah-yeah

La-la-la-la-la (넌 이미)

La-la-la-la-la (you already)

Heart b-b-b-beat

Heart b-b-b-beat

마지막 남은 순간까지

Until the last remaining moment

내게 맡기게 될 거야 넌

You'll leave it to me

달콤한 너의 Russian Roulette

Your sweet Russian Roulette

이토록 깊은 꿈이 넌 처음일걸

This deep dream is your first

내 맘이 이 밤이 아른거리는 Game

My heart is flickering in this night game

You can't control

You can't control

커지는 Heart b-b-beat

The heart b-b-beat is growing

빨라지는데

It's getting faster

터질 듯한 Heart b-b-b-beat

The heart b-b-b-beat feels like it's about to burst

Key는 내가 쥘게

I'll hold the key

마지막 남은 순간까지

Until the last remaining moment

점점 다가오지 Crazy

It's getting closer, crazy

아찔하게 겨눈 Russian Roulette

Dizzyingly aimed Russian Roulette

Ah-ah-ah-yeah

Ah-ah-ah-yeah

La-la-la-la-la (넌 이미)

La-la-la-la-la (you already)

Heart b-b-b-beat

Heart b-b-b-beat

마침내 빼낼 수도 없게 박혀

Finally stuck so it can't be pulled out

니 심장 더 깊은 곳

Your heart deeper inside

달콤한 너의 Russian Roulette

Your sweet Russian Roulette
