[English]

I came right in front of you; here I am

Speak it with your lips: say yes, say yes

I must be moving toward you without even noticing

Let the breeze carry my heart—love is true

That look in your eyes that used to give me butterflies

Now you smile as if it’s all so familiar

All I have to do is walk over to you

That’s what my friends keep pushing me to do

But the heels of my shoes still feel so heavy

I’d rather kick them off by the end of this night

I wish you’d reach out your hand to me

So I could run to you barefoot

On a day that’s just too complicated

I twist my thoughts around every hour, but hey,

I only realized this now

In the end, everything else disappears, leaving only you

Last spring, I saw you by chance

I hope it won’t be just a coincidence anymore

I want to hold the hand that once brushed past mine

I hope we can walk any road together

I came right in front of you; here I am

Speak it with your lips: say yes, say yes

I must be moving toward you without even noticing

Let the breeze carry my heart—love is true

Oooooohh

I need you, oooooohh

Baby, the words I want to tell you, the words I never got to say

Baby, baby, baby boy, love is true

I can go anywhere

This isn’t a lie, yeah, yeah, yeah

From now on, my

favorite place is right by your side, yeah, yeah

Like the sound you make when you purse your lips

I wish you’d call out my name (I wish)

Even if I fall behind as we walk together

I want you to hear this voice of mine

I came right in front of you; here I am

Speak it with your lips: say yes, say yes

I must be moving toward you without even noticing

Let the breeze carry my heart—love is true

There’s only one thing I wish for

And that is for you to stay by my side

Whether you smile at me or listen to what I say

That alone is enough for me, you know

I smile as I look at you; my eyes speak for me

Answer me like this too: say yes, say yes

I like you, even if you make me cry

Because you’re my everything; love is true

Oooooohh

I need you, oooooohh

Baby, the words I want to tell you, the words I never got to say

Baby, baby, baby boy, love is true

...

[Korean]

니 눈앞에 왔잖아 내가 여기 있잖아

너의 입술로 말을 해줘 say yes, say yes

나도 모르게 너에게 가고 있나봐

부는 바람에 내 맘 전할래 love is true

간지럽게만 느껴지던 눈 빛이

이제는 익숙 하단듯이 웃음 짓지

그 쪽으로 걸어가기만 하면 돼

라고 친구들은 계속해서 날 부추기지만

아직은 무거운 구두의 뒷 굽

차라리 벗어버리고 싶은 이 밤의 끝

손을 내밀어 줬으면 해

맨발로 너에게 뛰어갈 수 있게 끔

복잡하기만한 하루에

매 시간 머리를 굴리지만 난 hey

지금에서야 깨달은 건데

결국 다 버려지고 너만 남아

지난 봄에는 널 우연히 봤고

더 이상은 우연이 아니였으면 해

스치기만 했던 너의 손을 잡고

어떤 길이라도 같이 걸었으면 해

니 눈앞에 왔잖아 내가 여기 있잖아

너의 입술로 말을 해줘 say yes, say yes

나도 모르게 너에게 가고 있나봐

부는 바람에 내 맘 전할래 love is true

우우우우우우우

I need you 우우우우우

Baby 너에게 하고 픈 말 내가 못다한 말

Baby, baby, baby boy, love is true

어디든 갈 수 있어

이건 거짓말이 아니야 yeah, yeah, yeah

이제부터는 나의

옆이 제일 편한 자리야 yeah, yeah

입술을 오므리고 내는 소리와 같이

내 이름을 불러줬음 좋겠어 (좋겠어)

내가 뒤로 떨어져서 걷더라도 단지

이 목소리를 들어줬음 좋겠어

니 눈앞에 왔잖아 내가 여기 있잖아

너의 입술로 말을 해줘 say yes, say yes

나도 모르게 너에게 가고 있나봐

부는 바람에 내 맘 전할래 love is true

내가 바라는 단 한가지

니가 내곁에 있어주는 것

니가 날 보며 웃어주는것도 내 얘길 들어주는것도

난 그걸로도 충분한데 you

너를 보며 웃잖아 두 눈이 말하잖아

너도 이렇게 대답해줘 say yes, say yes

너라서 좋아 니가 날 울려도 좋아

너는 나의 모든 전부니까 love is true

우우우우우우우

I need you 우우우우우

Baby 너에게 하고 픈 말 내가 못다한 말

Baby, baby, baby boy, love is true
