[English]

Mmm, uh huh, mmm, yeah

Click to shut down the system

Today, the fine dust is free

Grab the car keys and head out

It's been a while, the road is wide open

Those who have time, come out

Gather in a circle for a meeting

Circle, square, triangle, X

It's boring, playing games every day

So where should we go today?

Should we go to Incheon Airport like lightning?

Should we fly through the clouds in the blue sky?

I also like watching stars from the neighboring country, yeah

The weather is so amazing (amazing)

It seems like something fun will happen

What if we have no plans? (It's okay, it's okay)

We are still young and free

(Uno, dos, tres)

I work to play

I do my work like I'm playing, how about you?

Feels like I'm playing every day, feels fresh

What a life, what a life, what a life

What a life, what a life, what a life

What a life, what a life

I work to play

I do my work like I'm playing, how about you?

Feels like I'm playing every day, feels fresh

What a life, what a life, what a life

What a life, what a life, what a life

What a life, what a life

(Yeah ah!) Young and free

My personality has no edges

My friends are around me

Sitting in a circle

I feel fresh and refreshing

I feel like family and I'm kind

My wallet is doing just fine today

Do you wanna get down with me?

So where should we go tonight?

Clubs are predictable, the streets are better

I like palm trees and the beach next to me

Day and night, the engine is running

I feel like something will happen today

The night air is so amazing (amazing)

It seems like something fun will happen

What if we have no plans? (It's okay, it's okay)

We are still young and free

(One, two, three)

I work to play

I do my work like I'm playing, how about you?

Feels like I'm playing every day, feels fresh

What a life, what a life, what a life

What a life, what a life, what a life

What a life, what a life

I work to play

I do my work like I'm playing, how about you?

Feels like I'm playing every day, feels fresh

What a life, what a life, what a life

What a life, what a life, what a life

What a life, what a life

Life is good (Life is good)

Life is good (Life is good), yeah

Work hard and earn joyfully

Today, like the air, my mood is

Completely fresh

Days and nights are long, so worry about tomorrow is short (yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh)

I work to play

I do my work like I'm playing, how about you?

Feels like I'm playing every day, feels fresh

What a life, what a life, what a life

What a life, what a life, what a life

What a life, what a life

I work to play

I do my work like I'm playing, how about you?

Feels like I'm playing every day, feels fresh

What a life, what a life, what a life

What a life, what a life, what a life

What a life, what a life
