TELL ME ! (English Translation) Lyrics

[Intro]
A night as noisy as a movie
I need to turn off the music before morning comes
You and I, so cold that we feel like falling
Is it because of a fear I’ve never encountered?

[Refrain]
I know you hate to love
Looking for the love
But you never wanna take them all in
Open your eyes!
It’s still early

[Chorus]
So tell me!
Ooh-ooh-woo, ooh-ooh-oh
So tell me!
Ooh-ooh-woo, ooh-ooh-oh
Tell me!
Ooh-ooh-woo, ooh-ooh-oh

[Post-Chorus]
Feels like its dangerous
Life is unstable rush
For me
Like, guess what?
So tell me!
Ooh-ooh-woo, ooh-ooh-oh

[Verse 1]
falling raindrops
dance between
You are waving your hand outside the square window frame
I pretend not to know
turn the last page
I shake off your two hands that are trying to stop me

[Refrain]
We know we hate to love
Looking for the love
But we never wanna lose them all
Riding a bright blue bicycle
Just run and run

[Pre-Chorus]
Even cockroaches
Loud music too
Leave me alone
on a blue bike
green saddle
It doesn’t matter, right?
Like a movie again
Even when it gets noisy
We’ll find out the answer
Just go

[Chorus]
So tell me!
Ooh-ooh-woo, ooh-ooh-oh
So tell me!
Ooh-ooh-woo, ooh-ooh-oh
Tell me!
Ooh-ooh-woo, ooh-ooh-oh

[Post-Chorus]
Feels like its dangerous
Life is unstable rush
For me
Like, guess what?
So tell me!
Ooh-ooh-woo, ooh-ooh-oh

[Sample]
We run, we stop
We dance, we faint
We close our eyes, scream
Endlessly in a cycle
There is no easy victory against the forces that torment us
But we can fight
We can question
We can seek to understand
What are we fighting against?
Is it prejudice?
Fear?
Or is it ourselves?
Now, where is the answer
Tell me

[Bridge]
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me, what, oh

[Chorus]
So tell me!
Ooh-ooh-woo, ooh-ooh-oh
Tell me!
Ooh-ooh-woo, ooh-ooh-oh

[Post-Chorus]
Feels like its dangerous
Life is unstable rush
For me
Like, guess what?
So tell me!
Ooh-ooh-woo, ooh-ooh-oh
