Lyrics[]

Yeah Slow Down Slow Down Baby
Relax
C’mon C’mon

I’m A Mr. Confident (Uh Ha) But 時に落ち込む (What?)
もしかして自分勝手で空回りしてる Just A Fool?
でもそんな日はそっと自分を励ましてやんだ
お前は天才だからって鏡のヤツにエールを Shout Out

Ladi Dali Ladi Dali Don’t You Worry No Need To Hurry
ユラリユラリユラリユラリゆっくりといこうぜ

絡まった糸は時に優しく解いて Take It Easy
パジャマで一日映画を見たり連絡は Shut Down In My Dream たまには羽を伸ばそう

So Take My Hand Dancing Like Butterfly Under The Moon Light
ゆらめく You & I ありのまま Let It Flow
Baby I Don't Wanna Lie Just Wanna See You Smile
もっと甘えてもいいんじゃない今日くらいは Let It Go
誰だってトラウマ消えない夜がある (Wow Oh Oh)
それだってドラマ隠す必要はない
Dancing Like Butterfly Under The Moon Light
何度でも But-I-Fly ありのまま Let It Flow

Uh ルッキズムうざいです気づかないうち増えてく不快指数
味気のない果実誰かの不幸は誰かの甘い蜜 Stop
Complex 含めて My Izm すべて背負い込んで前に進む
どんな日でも 일소일소 일로일로 Do It

Ladi Dali Ladi Dali Don’t You Worry No Need To Hurry
ユラリユラリユラリユラリゆっくりといこうぜ

強くあるために時に甘えて気を抜いて Take It Easy
昔のAlbum 覗いて泣いたり (Yeah) 懐かしい話で笑ったり(Yeah)
たまには癒しが必要

So Take My Hand Dancing Like Butterfly Under The Moon Light
ゆらめく You & I ありのまま Let It Flow
Baby I Don't Wanna Lie Just Wanna See You Smile
もっと甘えてもいいんじゃない今日くらいは Let It Go
誰だってトラウマ消えない夜がある (Wow Oh Oh)
それだってドラマ隠す必要はない
Dancing Like Butterfly Under The Moon Light
何度でも But-I-Fly ありのまま Let It Flow

So Take My Hand Dancing Like Butterfly Under The Moon Light
何度でも But-I-Fly

Yeah
Slow Down Slow Down Baby
Relax
C’mon C’mon

I’m A Mr. Confident
But sometimes I feel down too
Maybe I’m selfish
And only going in circles, Just A Fool?
But on days like that, gently
I cheer myself up
“You’re a genius”
Shout Out a yell to the guy in the mirror

Ladi Dali Ladi Dali
Don’t You Worry No Need To Hurry
Swaying relaxedly, swaying relaxedly ^{[T/N 1]}
Let’s go at our leisure

Entwined strings
Sometimes gently unravel
Take It Easy
Spend an entire day to watch movies in your pajamas
Communication, Shut Down In My Dream
Once in a while, have fun

So Take My Hand

Dancing Like Butterfly
Under The Moon Light
Swaying, You & I
As you are, Let It Flow
Baby I Don’t Wanna Lie
Just Wanna See You Smile
Isn’t it fine to be more spoiled?
Just for today, Let It Go
Everyone has nights
Where their traumas won’t go away
Even that is drama
No need to hide it
Dancing Like Butterfly
Under The Moon Light
No matter how many times, But-I-Fly
As you are, Let It Flow

Uh lookism, so annoying
Without noticing, discomfort index ^{[T/N 2]} raises
Bland fruits
Other people’s misfortune tastes like honey, Stop
Including my complexes, My Izm
Carry everything on my back and move forward
No matter the kind of day it is
Don’t be mad laugh instead ^{[T/N 3]}
Do It

Ladi Dali Ladi Dali
Don’t You Worry No Need To Hurry
Swaying relaxedly, Swaying relaxedly
Let’s go at our leisure

To be strong
Sometimes you gotta spoil yourself and relax
Take It Easy
Looking at past albums and cry
Laugh at nostalgic stories
Sometimes you need soothing
So Take My Hand

Dancing Like Butterfly
Under The Moon Light
Swaying, You & I
As you are, Let It Flow
Baby I Don’t Wanna Lie
Just Wanna See You Smile
Isn’t it fine to be more spoiled?
Just for today, Let It Go
Everyone has nights
Where their traumas won’t go away
Even that is drama
No need to hide it
Dancing Like Butterfly
Under The Moon Light
No matter how many times, But-I-Fly
As you are, Let It Flow

So Take My Hand
Dancing Like Butterfly
Under The Moon Light
No matter how many times, But-I-Fly

Translation notes:

↑ yurari -> swaying or relaxed, but since it’s spoken many times i went with both to emphasize the meaning
↑ discomfort index -> heat index (air temperature and relative humidity), since it’s called discomfort index too it’s probably wordplay as well
↑ On the lyric booklet this lyric is written as "일소일소 일로일로", which I believe to be the spoken form of the phrase "일소일소 일노일노" which is the form we used to translate since the former yields no results. In the literal form, its "laugh once, gain youth, frown once, lose youth." So the lesson is that the more you laugh, the more youthful and happier your life will be, but if you frown more, you'll lose that youth and live more miserably.
