[English]

As the moon ripens, hurry up, young blood

Holding a single dandelion

It's a night where love floats chaotically

Fly away gently and achieve it

Through the taut darkness

Feeling it rise

Even if I sway in this vast weightlessness

I won't be afraid

Above us, so blue

A big strawberry moon, one scoop

I want to entrust you to me, eh-oh

Cutting through the wind

Feeling like I'm soaring, so cool

How could life be more perfect, ooh

It's a fortune that's hard to meet again

...

My heart is racing all over

Oh, rather, it's a night I want to wander willingly

If I can get lost with you

With our hands held together

Breaking down the entrance

At the ends of this infinity, up and down

I will take flight

Above us, so blue

A big strawberry moon, one scoop

I want to entrust you to me, eh-oh

Cutting through the wind

Feeling like I'm soaring, so cool

How could life be more perfect, ooh

It's amazing, is there anything better than this?

Will there be another moment like a dream? (Will there be more?)

Perhaps everything we discovered first

Tonight, everything about this night, I fly above it

Above us, so blue

A big strawberry moon, one scoop

How does it feel to have the world, eh-oh

Cutting through the wind

Feeling like I'm soaring, so cool

How could life be more perfect, ooh

...

[Korean]

달이 익어가니 서둘러 젊은 피야

민들레 한 송이 들고

사랑이 어지러이 떠다니는 밤이야

날아가 사뿐히 이루렴

팽팽한 어둠 사이로

떠오르는 기분

이 거대한 무중력에 혹 휘청해도

두렵진 않을 거야

푸르른 우리 위로

커다란 strawberry moon, 한 스쿱

나에게 너를 맡겨볼래, eh-oh

바람을 세로질러

날아오르는 기분 so cool

삶이 어떻게 더 완벽해, ooh

다시 마주하기 어려운 행운이야

온몸에 심장이 뛰어

Oh, 오히려 기꺼이 헤매고픈 밤이야

너와 길 잃을 수 있다면

맞잡은 서로의 손으로

출입구를 허문

이 무한함의 끝과 끝 또 위아래로

비행을 떠날 거야

푸르른 우리 위로

커다란 strawberry moon, 한 스쿱

나에게 너를 맡겨볼래, eh-oh

바람을 세로질러

날아오르는 기분 so cool

삶이 어떻게 더 완벽해, ooh

놀라워 이보다

꿈같은 순간이 또 있을까? (더 있을까?)

아마도 우리가 처음 발견한

오늘 이 밤의 모든 것, 그 위로 날아

푸르른 우리 위로

커다란 strawberry moon, 한 스쿱

세상을 가져보니 어때, eh-oh

바람을 세로질러

날아오르는 기분 so cool

삶이 어떻게 더 완벽해, ooh
