Verse 1
얼어붙은 맘 어디 깨볼까?
Eor-eobu-teun mam eodi kkaebolkka?
Shall I go ahead and shatter that frozen heart of yours?
놀라버렸던 네 심장 말이야
Nol-la-beo-ryeot-deon ne sim-jang mar-i-ya
I'm talking about your startled heart
맘에 들었어 넌 그냥 Say yes
Mam-e deur-eoss-eo neon geu-nyang Say yes
I like what I see, you just say yes
내가 널 부르면 "얼음 땡"
Nae-ga neol bu-reu-myeon "Eor-eum ttaeng"

The second your guard drops, claw
우린 더 높이
U-rin deo nop-i
We go higher and higher
하늘에 닿을 것처럼 외쳐 너를 깨워
Ha-neur-e da-eul geot-cheo-reom oe-chyeo neo-reul kkae-wo
