[English]

Tonight such a beautiful night

Sing with me now 2011, follow me

Bigbang, Bigbang

We're back again one more time say

No way, no way

너무 쉽게 또 남이 돼

Bigbang, Bigbang

Don't stop, let's play

Ok, ok, go go go

나 미칠 것 같애

아마 지친 것 같애 (왜)

아냐 질린 것 같애

벌써 따분해 시시해

한 여자로는 만족 못 하는 bad boy but I'm nice

안 넘어가고는 못 배길걸

Let me blow ya mind

언제부터였는지 감흥이 없어진 우리

이젠 마치 진 빠진 김 빠진 콜라 같지

무감각해진 첫 느낌

서로를 향한 곁눈질

그깟 사랑에 난 목매지 않아

Don't wanna try no more

너를 찾아서 오에오

날 비춰주는 저 달빛 아래로

그댈 찾아서 오에 오오오

끝이 어딘지 모르겠지만 hey

Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

아직 난 사랑을 몰라

또 홀로 가여운 이 밤

상처 날 이별이 무서워 (so what, so what)

널 처음 만난 순간이 그리워 (no more, no more)

그저 아픔에 서툰 걸

난 피하고 싶은 걸

But you know that I love you, girl, girl, girl

질질 끄는 성격 say no

차가운 입술로 널 얼어붙게 하는 나나나

Take ma soul, take ma heart back

새로운 설레임 get that

사랑은 내게는 어울리지 않아

Don't think too much, it's simple

너를 찾아서 오에오

날 비춰주는 저 달빛 아래로

그댈 찾아서 오에 오오오

끝이 어딘지는 모르겠지만 hey

Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

아직 난 사랑을 몰라

또 홀로 가여운 이 밤

안녕이란 말의 슬픈 의미

어두운 그림자는 가려지고

내 마음속 잊어버린

너를 향한 나의 기억

...

너를 찾아서 오에오

날 비춰주는 저 달빛 아래로 (저 달빛 아래로)

그댈 찾아서 오에 오오오 (오 그대 오 baby)

끝이 어딘지 모르겠지만 hey (어딘지 몰라)

Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

아직 난 사랑을 몰라 (사랑을 몰라 난)

또 홀로 가여운 이 밤

너를 찾아서 오에오

(Tonight)

날 비춰주는 저 달빛 아래로

(Such a beautiful night)

그댈 찾아서 오에 오오오

끝이 어딘지 모르겠지만

(Goodnight)
