[English]

Hey, boy

Make 'em whistle like a missile blast, blast

Every time I arrive, I blow up, uh

Make 'em whistle like a missile blast, blast

Every time I arrive, I blow up, uh

You're so beautiful, I can't forget you

Your gaze still makes my heart race like this, boom, boom

24, 365, I just want to be with you

Day and night, I want you like this, mmm, mmm

Yeah, every guy checks me out daily

Most think they can have me, but it's a illusion

I don't want much, I just want your heart (uh)

Show me your heart, bare it all

Confidently, sometimes chic, chic

So hot, so hot, you make me lose control (uh)

Whisper softly to me

Like a whistle blowing in my ear

Don’t pass me by like this

If you can't forget me like I can't forget you, whoa

My feelings for you are on fire

My heart beats faster

Getting closer and closer

Whistle, uh

Whistle, pa-raam, pa-raam (can you hear that?)

Whistle, pa-raam, pa-raam, pa-raam

Whistle, uh

Whistle, pa-raam, pa-raam (can you hear that?)

Whistle, pa-raam, pa-raam, pa-raam (hold up)

Don’t say anything, just whistle to my heart

That sound makes my heart race like this, boom, boom

Thoughts are boring, but the feeling is shh

Every day, all day, just stay beside me, zoom, zoom

Uh, I’m always stylin'

Dignified but a darlin' in front of you

Getting hotter, like a desert island

The more I get to know you, the more my heart rings

Stop running away, come to me, boy

Now it’s checkmate, I win the game (uh-huh)

I choose you, hold me tighter

Before someone else takes you, I will (uh)

Don’t pass me by like this

If you can't forget me like I can't forget you, whoa

My feelings for you are on fire

My heart beats faster

Getting closer and closer

Whistle, uh

Whistle, pa-raam, pa-raam (can you hear that?)

Whistle, pa-raam, pa-raam, pa-raam

Whistle, uh

Whistle, pa-raam, pa-raam (can you hear that?)

Whistle, pa-raam, pa-raam, pa-raam

This beat makes me feel like

Passing by like the wind

Hope it’s not just a common fate

No need for many words

Take me by your side now, ooh

Make 'em whistle like a missile blast, blast

Every time I arrive, I blow up, uh

Make 'em whistle like a missile blast, blast

Every time I arrive, I blow up, uh

...

[Japanese]

Hey, boy

Make 'em whistle like a missile bomb, bomb

Every time I show up, blow up, uh

Make 'em whistle like a missile bomb, bomb

Every time I show up, blow up, uh

넌 너무 아름다워, 널 잊을 수가 없어

그 눈빛이 아직 나를 이렇게 설레게 해, boom, boom

24, 365, 오직 너와 같이 하고파

낮에도, 이 밤에도, 이렇게 너를 원해, mmm, mmm

Yeah, 모든 남자들이 날 매일 check out

대부분이 날 가질 수 있다 착각

절대 많은 걸 원치 않아, 맘을 원해 난 (uh)

넌 심장을 도려내 보여봐

아주 씩씩하게, 때론 chic, chic 하게

So hot, so hot, 내가 어쩔 줄 모르게 해 (uh)

나지막이 불러줘

내 귓가에 도는 휘파람처럼

이대로 지나치지 마요

너도 나처럼 날 잊을 수가 없다면, whoa

널 향한 이 마음은 fire

내 심장이 빠르게 뛰잖아

점점 가까이 들리잖아

휘파람, uh

휘파람, 파람, 파람 (can you hear that?)

휘-파라-파라-파라-밤

휘파람, uh

휘파람, 파람, 파람 (can you hear that?)

휘-파라-파라-파라-밤 (hold up)

아무 말 하지 마, just whistle to my heart

그 소리가 지금 나를 이렇게 설레게 해, boom, boom

생각은 지루해, 느낌이, shh

Every day, all day, 내 곁에만 있어 줘, zoom, zoom

Uh, 언제나 난 stylin'

도도하지만 네 앞에선 darlin'

뜨거워지잖아, like a desert island

너 알아갈수록 울려대는 마음속

그만 내빼 넘어와라 내게, boy

이젠 checkmate, 게임은 내가 win (uh-huh)

난 널 택해, 안아줘 더 세게

누가 널 가로 채 가기 전에 내가 (uh)

이대로 지나치지 마요

너도 나처럼 날 잊을 수가 없다면, whoa

널 향한 이 마음은 fire

내 심장이 빠르게 뛰잖아

점점 가까이 들리잖아

휘파람, uh

휘파람, 파람, 파람 (can you hear that?)

휘-파라-파라-파라-밤

휘파람, uh

휘파람, 파람, 파람 (can you hear that?)

휘-파라-파라-파라-밤

This beat got me feelin' like

바람처럼 스쳐가는

흔한 인연이 아니길

많은 말은 필요 없어

지금 너의 곁에 나를 데려가 줘, ooh

Make 'em whistle like a missile bomb, bomb

Every time I show up, blow up, uh

Make 'em whistle like a missile bomb, bomb

Every time I show up, blow up, uh
