[English]

Lost in this mysterious atmosphere

It's okay to let you go

But I can't escape from myself

This drowsy moment

The more your well-combed hair gets tousled

The more beautiful it becomes, just leave it be, oh, oh

Even if your neat posture gets disrupted

It's okay, look at me straight, oh, yeah

The move begins again under the dim lights

Elegant gestures, subtle glances

You're reflected in the transparent window, shimmering move

That strange feeling, dizzying attraction

(You got, got the rhythm) Under the dim lights

(You got, got the rhythm) The move that captures me

Elegant gestures (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Subtle glances (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

For a moment, I erase everything

Relying only on my senses

With wondrous eyes

Oh, oh, only appreciating you

As my carefully applied makeup smudges more

You're even more beautiful, just leave it be, oh, oh

Even if your neat shirt gets wrinkled

It's okay, look at me straight, eh, eh, yeah

The move starts again under the dim lights

Elegant gestures, subtle glances

You're reflected in the transparent window, shimmering move

That strange feeling, dizzying attraction

The move that captures me (You got, got the rhythm)

The move that captures me (You got, got the rhythm)

Elegant gestures (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Subtle glances (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

No matter what expression or sentence

I can't fully capture you

But we are perfect just as we are

So forget worries, just stay as you are, repeat, just as you are (repeat)

Just as you are (repeat)

(repeat just as you are)

(You got, got the rhythm) Under the dim lights

The move that captures me (You got, got the rhythm)

Elegant gestures (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Subtle glances (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

(You got, got the rhythm) Under the dim lights

The move that captures me (You got, got the rhythm)

That strange feeling (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Dizzying attraction (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

You got, got the rhythm

You got, got the rhythm

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

You got, got the rhythm

You got, got the rhythm

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Korean]

묘한 분위기에 취해

너를 놔버려도 돼

나를 벗어나진 못해

나른해진 이 순간

잘 빗은 머리가 헝클어질수록

아름다워 내버려 둬, oh, oh

반듯한 자세가 흐트러진대도

괜찮아 날 똑바로 봐 oh, yeah

어두운 조명 아래 또 시작되는 move

우아한 손짓, 은근한 눈빛

투명한 창가에 넌 비쳐서 아른대는 move

묘한 그 느낌, 아찔한 끌림

(You got, got the rhythm) 어두운 조명 아래

(You got, got the rhythm) 날 사로잡은 move

우아한 손짓 (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

은근한 눈빛 (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

잠시 난 모든 걸 다 지워

시각에만 의존해

경이로운 눈빛으로

Oh, oh, 너만을 감상해

신경 쓴 화장이 더 번져갈수록

아름다워 내버려 둬, oh, oh

단정한 셔츠가 구겨져 버려도

괜찮아 날 똑바로 봐, eh, eh, yeah

어두운 조명 아래 또 시작되는 move

우아한 손짓, 은근한 눈빛

투명한 창가에 넌 비쳐서 아른대는 move

묘한 그 느낌, 아찔한 끌림

(You got, got the rhythm) 어두운 조명 아래

(You got, got the rhythm) 날 사로잡은 move

우아한 손짓 (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

은근한 눈빛 (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

어떤 표현도 어떤 문장도

너를 모두 담아 낼 순 없겠지

우린 이대로 완벽할 테니

걱정 따윈 버려 그대로, 그대로 repeat (그대로 repeat)

그대로 repeat (그대로 repeat)

(그대로 repeat)

(You got, got the rhythm) 어두운 조명 아래

(You got, got the rhythm) 날 사로잡은 move

우아한 손짓 (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

은근한 눈빛 (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

(You got, got the rhythm) 어두운 조명 아래

(You got, got the rhythm) 날 사로잡은 move

묘한 그 느낌 (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

아찔한 끌림 (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

You got, got the rhythm

You got, got the rhythm

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

You got, got the rhythm

You got, got the rhythm

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
