[English]

She said “Don’t call me tonight”

I’m already in the alley by your house

And just my luck, the rain starts falling

I feel so pathetic

Now

ADIOS! ADIOS!

Nothing is going my way

My head is throbbing

I can’t just go and lose my temper

There’s too much at stake—my future, money, fame, love, I can’t even count them

My friend, light a fire for me

So I have no regrets today

Someone, please stay with me

Youth passes by

The pain passes by too

What’s left behind

Is a sense of longing

That too, will pass

In the end, it leaves

Because it’s too hard to stay

Oh, this aching youth

No no, don’t cry, baby

Oh, it’s morning already

I’m not ready to see the sun yet

There’s no such thing as a day without regrets

And that’s why we live on

Even this ruined day

ADIOS! ADIOS!

My love, light a fire for me

So I have no regrets right now

Someone, please stay with me

Youth passes by

The pain passes by too

What’s left behind

Is a sense of longing

That too, will pass

In the end, it leaves

Because it’s too hard to stay

Oh, this aching youth

No no, don’t cry, baby

Don’t call me tonight

I’ll try to get through tonight on my own

And just my luck, the rain starts falling

I feel relieved

Now

ADIOS!

Forget about keeping it classy

All my friends

All my love

Struggle even harder, this too shall pass

All my endings

All my starts

Struggle even harder, this too shall pass

I love this night where I want to go wild

[Korean]

She said “Don’t call me tonight”

이미 너의 집 골목길

마침 비는 내려와

처량해지네

이제는

ADIOS! ADIOS!

되는 일 하나 없고

머린 지끈지끈대네

무턱대고 화를 내기엔

걸릴 게 많아 내 미래, 돈, 명예, love 못 세

My friend 불을 지펴줘

오늘이 후회 없게

누구라도 please stay with me

젊음은 가

아픔도 지나가

남겨진 건

아쉬운 마음

그 또한 가

결국은 떠나가

머물기엔

못내 아픈 청춘이여

No no, don’t cry, baby

오 아침이야

아직 해를 볼 준비가 안됐는데

후회없는 하루는 없고

그래서 우리는 살아

망가진 오늘마저

ADIOS! ADIOS!

My love 불을 지펴줘

지금이 후회 없게

누구라도 please stay with me

젊음은 가

아픔도 지나가

남겨진 건

아쉬운 마음

그 또한 가

결국은 떠나가

머물기엔

못내 아픈 청춘이여

No no, don’t cry, baby

Don’t call me tonight

오늘은 혼자 견뎌볼게

마침 비는 내려와

후련해지네

이제는

ADIOS!

품위 따위는 집어치우고

All my friends

All my love

더 발악해 이 또한 가

All my endings

All my starts

더 발악해 이 또한 가

좋아 날뛰고픈 밤
