Orenjisaek haneurui maseun mwolkka (In orange-colored skies, what is the taste?)
Soneul ppeodeo daeumyeon eotteon gibunilkka (When I touch your hand, how does it feel?)
Ama meoritsoge nugunga gadeuk chan geureon neukkimil geoya (Like a sweet dream in my mind)
Alright it's alright
Nuneul gameulsurok seonmyeonghaejineun geot (As the sun sets, it becomes clearer)
Bogo isseodo ganjeolhaejineun geot (The world seems more beautiful)
Saenggangman haedo ganjireoun geon (The sunset is a sight to behold)
Geugeon amado fall in love dulmanui story (A love story like a fairy tale)
Ne du soneul japgo dulman aneun goseuro (As I hold your hand, it feels like a dream)
Domanggabeorineun geo ireon ge sarangi anilkka (I see the world with rose-tinted glasses)
Neowa naega hanaga doen sungan yeah what is love (Am I in love?)
Hanadul set geudaero (In this orange sky)
Modeun ge meomchwobeorin jigeum i neukkim (As if everything has stopped)
Amureon mal eopseodo seolleneun gamjeongeun sumgil suga eopji (The world seems to slow down in the orange light)
Dugeungeorineun mam ttokgatdamyeon bamsae jam mot irundamyeon (It's as if time has stopped)
Neowa nan we will fall in love
Yeah what is love
Orenjisaek haneurui maseun mwolkka (In orange-colored skies, what is the taste?)
Du sone daeumyeon eotteon gibunilkka (When I touch your hand, how does it feel?)
Ama meoritsoge nugunga gadeuk chan geureon neukkimil geoya (Like a sweet dream in my mind)
Oh love luh love yeah what is love
