[English]

It was like magic When we disco when we disco

So I still can't forget

I miss you so much When we disco when we disco

Do you remember too, even now

Everything else is a blur apart from you

Only you stood out (When we d.i.s.c.o.)

Caught up in the Rapture

We didn’t notice the passing night

Where are you right now?

Do you think of me sometimes?

Us in those beautiful days

Do you remember, baby?

It was like magic When we disco when we disco

So I still can't forget

I miss you so much When we disco when we disco

Do you remember too, even now

Everyone watched us dance

They were watching us (When we d.i.s.c.o.)

Every move we made

Sent shivers down their spines

Can you forget that, like me?

Or do you still remember?

Us in those beautiful days

Do you remember, baby?

It was like magic When we disco when we disco

So I still can't forget

I miss you so much When we disco when we disco

Do you remember too, even now

It wasn't the sky that shot us, but our hearts

Do you remember, do you remember?

It wasn't just hips swaying, but our lives intertwining

Do you, do you remember, baby?

It was like magic When we disco when we disco

So I still can't forget

I miss you so much When we disco when we disco

Do you remember too, even now

[Korean]

마법 같았지 When we disco when we disco

그래서 잊지를 못해 아직도

너무 그리워 When we disco when we disco

너도 기억하고 있는지 지금도

너 빼고 나머진 다 Blur

너만 보였지 (When we d.i.s.c.o.)

빨려 들어갔어 Rapture

밤이 새도 몰랐지

넌 지금 어디에 있는지

날 가끔 생각은 하는지

아름다웠던 그 시절의 우릴

Do you remember baby

마법 같았지 When we disco when we disco

그래서 잊지를 못해 아직도

너무 그리워 When we disco when we disco

너도 기억하고 있는지 지금도

춤을 추는 우리를 다

바라보았지 (When we d.i.s.c.o.)

움직임 하나하나가

전율을 일으켰지

넌 그걸 잊을 수 있는지 나처럼

잊지 못하는지

아름다웠던 그 시절의 우릴

Do you remember baby

마법 같았지 When we disco when we disco

그래서 잊지를 못해 아직도

너무 그리워 When we disco when we disco

너도 기억하고 있는지 지금도

찌른 건 하늘이 아니라 서로의 마음이었었지

기억하니 Do you remember

흔든 건 골반이 아니라 서로의 인생이었었지

Do you, do you remember baby

마법 같았지 When we disco when we disco

그래서 잊지를 못해 아직도

너무 그리워 When we disco when we disco

너도 기억하고 있는지 지금도
