Accendio Lyrics (English Translation) – IVE

[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1: Rei, Leeseo]
Dear priest
I have something to confess
A drop of blood and tears
It’s just a play
This is a secret monologue
Beautiful but born bad
Don’t predict, no way
You just talk too much

[Refrain: Wonyoung, Liz]
Oh, it’s beautiful but it’s creepy
It’s good to make a strong first impression
Oh, it’s sweet but it’s like ic
onna make you crazy

[Pre-Chorus: Yujin, Leeseo]
Ooh, my heart was at peace
When you see me, yeah, I like that, it might stop
Now, I’m changing, can’t you see? (Five, six, seven, eight)

[Chorus: Wonyoung, Gaeul]
Watch me, don’t touch me
Love me, don’t hurt me
Watch me, don’t touch me
Cast a spell Ascendio
Watch me, don’t touch me
Love me, don’t hurt me
Watch me, don’t touch me
Cast a spell Ascendio

[Post-Chorus: Rei, Liz]
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ascendio at your fingertips
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ascendio at your fingertips

[Verse 2: Yujin, Gaeul, Leeseo, Rei]
Oh, turn from the cliff
Pupils colored with colors seen for the first time
That feeling is pure
Those eyes are love
It won’t be easy, out of control
A maze filled with scent
push you into the smoke
six drops magic syrup
And we pop into the mirror
Pearl attached to the whole body
swirl with two fingers
Show me the sweet curse
Let them b-u-r-n, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Liz, Leeseo]
Ooh, my heart was at peace
When you see me, yeah, I like that, it might stop
Now, I’m changing, can’t you see? (Five, six, seven, eight)

[Chorus: Yujin, Wonyoung]
Watch me, don’t touch me
Love me, don’t hurt me
Watch me, don’t touch me
Cast a spell Ascendio
Watch me, don’t touch me
Love me, don’t hurt me
Watch me, don’t touch me
Cast a spell Ascendio

[Post-Chorus: Gaeul, Rei]
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ascendio at your fingertips
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ascendio at your fingertips

[Breakdown]
Ascendio at your fingertips

[Chorus: Leeseo, Liz]
Watch me, don’t touch me
Love me, don’t hurt me
Watch me, don’t touch me
Cast a spell Ascendio
Watch me, don’t touch me
Love me, don’t hurt me
Watch me, don’t touch me
Cast a spell Ascendio

[Post-Chorus: Gaeul, Yujin]
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ascendio at your fingertips
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ascendio at your fingertips
