English Translation

hora ochiru no zutto
soko no nai kono kurayami
nobashita ryoute mo
munashisa ni fureta dake

Here I am, falling endlessly into this bottomless darkness. Even when I reach out my hands, I only touch emptiness.

kono sansan no sekai wo Light up the sky
me ni yakitsuke I’ll kiss you goodbye
keshi satte ageru sono egao
koko kara Hana dul ses

In this radiant world, I light up the sky. Burn this image into your eyes as I kiss you goodbye. I’ll erase that smile from your face. From here, one, two, three.

Ha how you like that?
You gon’ like that that that that that
How you like that?
How you like that that that that that

Ha, how you like that? You’re gonna like that, that, that, that, that. How you like that? How you like that, that, that, that, that.

Now look at you now look at me
Look at you now look at me
Look at you now look at me
How you like that?

Your girl need it all and that’s a hundred
You can get it back when I don’t want it
Karma come and get some
I got too much too much is just too enough

I need it all, and that’s a hundred. You can have it back when I don’t want it. Karma’s coming for you. I’ve got too much, too much is just enough.

What’s up? I’m right back
You need no right back
Plain Jane get hijacked
Don’t like me? Then tell me how you like that

What’s up? I’m right back. You don’t need to come back. Plain Jane gets hijacked. Don’t like me? Then tell me how you like that.

sou dondon to sekai wo Shine like the stars
saikou ni ii yo I’ll kiss you goodbye
keshi satte ageru sono egao
koko kara Hana dul ses

So, let the world shine like the stars. It’s the best feeling, I’ll kiss you goodbye. I’ll erase that smile from your face. From here, one, two, three.

Ha how you like that?
You gon’ like that that that that that
How you like that?
How you like that that that that that

Ha, how you like that? You’re gonna like that, that, that, that, that. How you like that? How you like that, that, that, that, that.

Now look at you now look at me
Look at you now look at me
Look at you now look at me
How you like that?

kono hane ushinatta watashi wo
ano yami ni ochita watashi wo
owaraseba yokatta ne sotto
Look up in the sky it’s a bird it’s a plane

I lost my wings, I fell into that darkness. It would have been better to end it softly. Look up in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane.

Bring out your boss bish
BLACKPINK
How you like that?
You gon’ like that

Bring out your boss attitude. BLACKPINK. How you like that? You’re gonna like that.

How you like that?
