[English]

Burn it up! Yeah

Burn it up! Ooh, woah

Burn it up! Uh, oh

Burn it up! Ooh, yeah

새로운 세대가 열려

있는 그대로 받아들여

뭐가 다른지 보여줄게

날 따라 follow up

소리 높여 하나가 돼

We'll make you 활 활 활

우린 좀 young and wild

태어날 때부터 치열하게 자라왔지

조금 독한 type 그저 앞만 보고

어둠을 뚫고 왔지 gees!

D.I. double F.E.R.E.N.T 터트려

난 like a boom boom pow

피보다 진한 형제들과 더 높은

꿈을 향해가 let's fly!

이제 시작이야 it's time to light

내 안에 잠들던 그 빛을 깨워

이 stage 위 너와 나의 길 시간이 됐어

자 모두 일어나

Burn it up! Ooh

We burned in white (활활)

Burn it up! Ooh

We're burnin' white (활활)

태워

Now goin' up 숨지 말고 눈을 떠

모두가 기다렸던 날 깨워

Now turn it up 참지 말고 일어서

간절히 바래왔던 날 깨워

우린 달려갈 준비를 해 yeah

불길이 활활 타오를 때 ooh

어두웠던 시간을 태워 난 빛이 나 나 나

이제 내 미래는 밝지 like diamond

내 몸은 포기를 몰라 (몰라)

난 오늘도 날 뛰어넘어 (넘어)

똑바로 봐 우리가 걷는 길

이제 역사로 남네

남들과는 남다르지

난 따라오면 따돌리고

뛰어오면 날아가지 난 차원이

다른 세계로 dream it out!

이제 시작이야 it's time to light

잠든 내 가슴에 불꽃을 태워

꿈이 현실이 되는 밤 시간이 됐어

자 모두 일어나

Burn it up! Ooh

We burned in white (활활)

Burn it up! Ooh

We're burnin' white (활활)

태워

또 한 번 어둠이 내려

더 높은 벽이 날 막아도

이제 난 내일이 두렵지 않아

더 이상 혼자가 아닐 테니 ah

침묵을 깨고 더 높이 떠오를 때가

바로 지금이야 right now

하나도 남기지 말고 돌아보지 말고

더 위로 하얗게

We know how to live our life

오늘은 다 같이 하늘 위로 올라

하얗게 하얗게

You don't know how to live your life

오늘은 다 같이 하늘 위로 올라

Burn it up!

(Woah, uhh, uhh, uh, uh, uh)

Ooh

(Woah, uhh, uh, uh, uh)

Yeah

Burn it up!

(Woah, uhh, uhh, uh, uh, uh)

Ooh

(Woah, uhh, uh, uh, uh)

모두 다 하얗게 불 태워
