[English]

Blood, sweat, tears—I'm offering everything now, overflowing, just like that...

Blood, sweat, tears—these feelings, oh, they overflow just like that...

Blood, sweat, tears

This blood, sweat, and tears—yesterday, today, and tomorrow too—

I know everything belongs to you, so what does it matter?

Peaches and cream, sweeter than sweet

Chocolate cheeks and chocolate wings

But those wings are like the devil—bitter and sweet at the same time

Kiss me, even if it hurts, just keep going

Come on, tighten me up, baby

Even knowing it makes me drunk, I still drink you in

You're like a risky whiskey

Blood, sweat, tears—I'm offering everything now, overflowing, just like that...

Blood, sweat, tears—these feelings, oh, they overflow just like that...

Wonne mani mani mani mani

Wonne mani mani mani mani mani mani

Wonne mani mani mani mani

Wonne mani mani mani mani mani mani

Even if it hurts, I never want to let go

Keep me bound, even if it drives me crazy

Kiss me on the lips—our secret

Poisoned by you, I get caught

I can't obey anyone else but you now

The chalice of poison I drink myself—

Blood, sweat, tears—I'm offering everything now, overflowing, just like that...

Blood, sweat, tears—these feelings, oh, they overflow just like that...

Wonne mani mani mani mani

Wonne mani mani mani mani mani mani

Wonne mani mani mani mani

Wonne mani mani mani mani mani mani

Gently, tell me now

Finish it with your own hands

I can't say it's impossible anyway

I can't even run anymore

You're too sweet, too sweet

Too sweet—so much so...

Blood, sweat, tears

Blood, sweat, tears

...
