[English]

Whoa, you're lovely from head to toe.

Whoa, I'm proud to call you my girl.

Waiting is enjoyable, and the air tastes sweet now.

I love you this much.

Even when the world is tough, when I see you

The breeze goes through my heart

This is what living is, this is what happiness is.

It's only now that I realize.

Even if I'm gloomy all day, when I see you

Sunlight fills my head.

This is what amazing love is.

The wait was worth it.

I'm afraid I'll cry again like last time.

I hesitated for a long while.

You waited for me without nagging.

You slipped in so calmly.

Whoa, you're lovely from head to toe.

Whoa, I'm proud that you're my girl.

The once blunt me is grinning all day.

What on earth have you done to me?

Whoa, even your shadow and your back view are lovely.

Whoa, even your shy displays of affection feel natural.

Waiting is enjoyable, and now even the air tastes sweet.

I love you this much.

To make you happy.

I've learned to value myself.

Even when I look at myself, I'm a little better now.

I think I've become a decent guy.

Whoa, you're lovely from head to toe.

Whoa, I'm proud to call you my girl.

The once blunt me is grinning all day.

What on earth have you done to me?

Whoa, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na.

Whoa, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na.

People everywhere envy you so much I can't bear it.

That's how we love.

Ooh, just promise one thing: until the end of the world.

Be loving to me alone.

[Korean]

Whoa, 머리부터 발끝까지 다 사랑스러워

Whoa, 니가 나의 여자라는 게 자랑스러워

기다림이 즐겁고 이젠 공기마저 달콤해

이렇게 너를 사랑해

세상이 힘들어도, 널 보면

마음에 바람이 통해

이런 게 사는 거지, 이런 게 행복이지

이제야 느끼게 됐어 나는

온종일 우울해도, 널 보면

머리에 햇빛이 들어

이렇게 놀라운 게 사랑이지

기다린 보람이 있어

지난번 사랑처럼 울까봐

한참을 망설였지만

보채지 않고 나를 기다려준 너

편안하게 스며들어와

Whoa, 머리부터 발끝까지 다 사랑스러워

Whoa, 니가 나의 여자라는 게 자랑스러워

무뚝뚝하던 내가 종일 싱글벙글 웃잖아

대체 내게 무슨 짓을 한 거야?

Whoa, 그림자와 뒷모습까지 사랑스러워

Whoa, 부끄러운 애정표현도 자연스러워

기다림이 즐겁고 이젠 공기마저 달콤해

이렇게 너를 사랑해

널 행복하게 해주기 위해

내가 날 아끼게 됐어

내 모습 내가봐도 이제 조금은

괜찮은 놈이 된 것 같아

Whoa, 머리부터 발끝까지 다 사랑스러워

Whoa, 니가 나의 여자라는 게 자랑스러워

무뚝뚝하던 내가 종일 싱글벙글 웃잖아

대체 내게 무슨 짓을 한 거야?

Whoa, 나-나-나-나-나-나, 나-나-나, 나-나-나-나-나

Whoa, 나-나-나-나-나-나, 나-나-나, 나-나-나-나-나

사람들이 모두들 부러워서 견딜 수 없게

그렇게 우리 사랑해

Ooh, 한가지만 약속해 세상 끝날 때까지

나에게만 사랑스럽길
