[English]

Yeah, we're starting right now - From this moment, we gon’ start

A chance encounter, alright - Let's make our mark

Oh yeah ooh woah woo yeah

Hey, Boy meets Girl (Oh hey!)

Let’s go

Boy meets Girl

For each of us - With overflowing feelings and a sparkle

We're searching for that moment

Just like a meeting on a starlit night...

Boy meets Girl

Back then - I knocked on so many doors

Vividly painted

Hoping to surely find that rainbow door...

Yeah, taking your hand, here we go - Searching for one love (Love)

Always together, I'll never leave you - I wanna be yours (Yours)

Ready to jump? - Don't be afraid

Let's make our dreams come true, just the two of us - (Two of us)

Zero worries left - Let's keep dreaming together

I was singing until dawn - That sweet love song you love so much

I can't stop thinking about it - I'll pack it in my suitcase

The reason I decided to set off - It wasn't just on impulse

The days I spent with you - Were the best thing in the 21st century!!

Boy meets Girl

An encounter is - Truly a treasure hunt in life

One day, the boy

Will surely find the girl of his dreams

Boy meets Girl

The shining rhythms are starting to dance

Morning, noon, and night, the wind blows to the south

Making my heart race

I wanted peace - I wanted a place to be proud of

But what matters most - Is that I met you that day

Wait, hey, we...

Why did we come here again?

Wow wow wow wow

Boy meets Girl

Back then - I knocked on so many doors

Vividly painted

I'll surely find that rainbow door

Making my heart race

Wow wow wow wow

Boy meets Girl

The shining rhythms are starting to dance

Morning, noon, and night, the wind blows to the south

Making my heart race

Woah woo oh oh oh - Get loud, Boy meets Girl (Hey!)

Ooh woah woo oh oh oh (Oh hey!) - We are NCT WISH

Woah woo oh oh oh - That’s right, Boy meets Girl (Hey!)

Ooh woah woo oh oh oh (Oh hey!)
