So 中毒性 actually means poisonous in Japanese? That similar to its meaning in Chinese. Hmm.... the two languages are more similar than I thought.

This is the first time I've seen a song in 3 languages! Good to see that all 3 different versions have different meanings to it.

Seriously loving this version! Thanks for the translation and the lyrics

My favourite phrase is, "Hey boy ねぇ DAN DAN 弾けそう in my mind" LOL xD

LOL that's my favourite phrase too

Thanks so much for translating.

[hello_hello]

Awesome work and thank you for the translations. I thought DAN DAN was just there because Sooyoung sang it in the original song and they wanted it to sound like the original. This sounds like some kind of an encouragement song for the Dangerous Boys. Somehow really fitting, if you think about it, because the song's about Soshi helping boys to go after a dream.

The use of DAN DAN reminded me of ZARD's song "DAN DAN Kokoro Hikarette ku" (aka Slowly I'm falling for you) - it's one of my favourites from when I was first getting into JPOP in the early 2000s!

Thanks for these lyrics! It looks like each version has a different theme...English = GIRL POWER, Korean = the strong woman behind a man, Japanese = reflecting on our place in the world.........well that's my interpretations, at least

Thanks again!

The signal is when you pull your hair back... Didn't really get that, but I like the Japanese version, ahahaha. This song sounds good in any language... I think the meaning is more like the Korean meaning than the English one, right? Anyway, I really love Yoona's parts... And the whole rap part sounds really cool and complex, hahaha. Thank you for the lyrics~!

Even more deep and meaningful lyrics. Their korean and japanese lyricists are doing amazing jobs with their meanings! Esp. on this round of promotions.
Thanks for translating/posting!

My favourite line <3 Glad to see the Japanese version has as much meaning as the Korean one!

[Citi]

thanks a lot for this
I was looking forward for these lyrics
I really like the japanese version

[Rickland]

Thanks, I became familiar with the lyrics of the song.

[Sol_blade3]

Lately I find the Japanese version to be the better of the 3, but that's probably because I have listened to it so much to the point where I'm sick of the other two versions x_x'
