[English]

Run

You better, better run

You better, better run

You better better, better better

Run

You better, better run

You better, better run

You better better, better better

Soaring in the race, I’m a spaceship

Cute and lovely, everyone knows it’s hereditary

When I shine, anyone who sees me feels the sunshine

You know what to do, jump in quickly whenever needed

This beauty was bestowed by my mother

Talent, there’s no need to hesitate

If you chase, don’t worry about speed

I’mma let you know

I race with you, beautiful one

I reach the finish line, I’m not alone

Step on the gas, I’m running

Love or hate, I can take it

You know it is, what it is

Girls gonna run the business

No need for all that noise, I’m awesome in any pose

We don’t mind being mocked, sometimes it’s better to retreat and go home

Seize the world’s gaze surrounding us

Shine amidst our yearning, lifting us higher

hah woo ah

ha ah ah

ah hah ah

Glide past the doubters and rumors

Take steps beyond yourself, hoping

To stand on top, you must

Baby, are you ready? Better

Run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run, run)

You better better, better better

Better, better run and drip

Run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run)

You better better, better better

The characters behind me intertwine, counting years and a pair

I love music and beauty, so my lifestyle is always relaxed

In an echoing space, the singing voice rises high

Making music under the starry night sky, everybody says wow

The flow likely cuts the verse, the performance just starts

Build a bridge, take it slow, then touch it

Dive in, admire the colors

We think we’re dreaming, our souls lost in the wind

Châu, my dear love

Hey, I’m here

Rio and I just got married, we’re now in Haiphong

Wow, that’s awesome, thanks

If there’s anything in this part, let me help you

Alright, come in

Hehe

Prada new season, breakfast often like Oh Milan

And Chau is the name, know my name, made in Vietnam

Run the show, the sisters behind us are beautiful and stylish

If there’s no competition, fine; if I’m playing, I’m aiming straight for first place

I’m beautiful, confident, not dreamy and independent

No one believes I can go far, we’ll see

“Hello” then “goodbye” like I’m from Bangkok

Like a race, vroom vroom, step on the gas and speed up

Seize the world’s gaze surrounding us

Shine amidst our yearning, lifting us higher

hah ah ah

ha ah hah

ah hah ah

Glide past the doubters and rumors

Take steps beyond yourself, hoping

To stand on top, you must

Baby, are you ready? Better

Run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run, run)

You better better, better better

Better, better run and drip

We must know who we are

A few bends lead us astray

Even if the road is tough, we can turn around

Then better, better, better, better

Better, better, better, better run

Run

Better, better run

You better, better run

Better better, better

Better, better run and drip

Better, better run

You better, better run (better better)

Better better, better better

Better better, better better run

[Vietnamese]

Run

You better, better run

You better, better run

You better better, better better

Run

You better, better run

You better, better run

You better better, better better

Vút bay trong cuộc đua, em là phi thuyền

Ngoan xinh yêu, ai cũng biết rằng đó là di truyền

Sáng lên, ai nhìn em là say nắng

You know what to do, mau nép vô khi mà khi mà khi mà

Sắc đẹp này má cho

Tài năng thì có gì phải đắn đo

Đuổi theo thì tốc độ đừng có so

I'mma let you know

Chị racing cùng em xinh

Chị đến đích, chị không đi một mình

Tăng tốc lên ga chị chạy

Ganh ghét đi ha, chị chịu

You know it is, what it is

Girls gonna run the business

Chẳng cần ồn ào như thế, chị xịn ở mọi tư thế

Các em miễn chê, tốt hơn có khi rút quân đi về

Chiếm lấy ánh mắt của thế gian vây quanh ta

Bừng sáng giữa những khát khao cho ta thêm thăng hoa

hah woo ah

ha ah ah

ah hah ah

Lướt qua bao dèm pha nghi ngờ

Bước xa hơn bản thân mong chờ

Muốn được đứng trên cao thì việc cần làm là

Baby, are you ready? Better

Run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run, run)

You better better, better better

Better, better run and drip

Run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run)

You better better, better better

Những kí tự sau lưng đan xen gộp từ số năm và hai

Chị thích âm nhạc và làm đẹp nên lối sống luôn thoải mái

Trong không gian vang vọng giọng hát ở trên cao

Làm nhạc ở giữa trời đêm sao, everybody say wow

Chắc flow ngắt câu, show diễn mới bắt đầu

Bắc cầu, từ từ rồi chạm vào nó

Đắm chìm ngắm nhìn sắc màu

Ta ngỡ như đang mơ tâm ta lạc vào gió

Chị Châu yêu của bé ơi

Ơi, chị đây

Em với cả RIO vừa mới cưới nhau, bọn em đang ở Hải Phòng rồi

Uầy, được quá nhờ

Có gì đoạn này chị giúp đỡ em cái nhá

Ờ ok, vào đây

Hẹ

Prada new season, bữa sáng thường Oh Milan

Và Châu là tên, know my name, được made in Vietnam

Run the show, chị em đằng sau đã xinh lại còn chất

Không thi thì thôi, chơi thì chơi, em nhắm vào ngay giải nhất

Em xinh, tự tin, không mộng mơ và independant

Không ai tin em có thể make it far để rồi xem nào

"สวัสดี" xong "ลาก่อน" như em đến từ Bangkok

Như cuộc đua, brum brum, lên ga và tăng tốc

Chiếm lấy ánh mắt của thế gian vây quanh ta

Bừng sáng giữa những khát khao cho ta thêm thăng hoa

hah ah ah

ha ah hah

ah hah ah

Lướt qua bao dèm pha nghi ngờ

Bước xa hơn bản thân mong chờ

Muốn được đứng trên cao thì việc cần làm là

Baby, are you ready? Better

Run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run, run)

You better better, better better

Better, better run and drip

Phải biết rằng chúng ta đang là ai

Vài ngã rẽ khiến chúng ta đi đường sai

Dù đường khó mấy thì ta quay đầu lại

Vậy thì better, better, better, better

Better, better, better, better run

Run

Better, better run

You better, better run

Better better, better

Better, better run and drip

Better, better run

You better, better run (better better)

Better better, better better

Better better, better better run
