BAHAMA Lyrics (English Translation) – aespa (에스파)

[Intro]
Bahama, ba, ba
Bahama, hama
(Bahama)
Bahama, ba, ba
Bahama, hama
(Bahama)

[Verse 1]
Where are you now?
Don’t ask anything
Just come quickly
So that no one
Can find you
Turn off your phone
Crossing the Pacific Ocean
To the island I saw in a dream
We’re almost there, uh
This feels like a dream

[Pre-Chorus]
You know this feeling
Splashing
The crashing waves
I’m going to jump in
Piña colada
Cheers, let’s walk away
We young, young, young
Bahama

[Chorus]
Take me, take me, take me on an ocean-blue
Bahama, ba, ba, Bahama, hama
Surfing, surfing, surfing on a wave with you
Bahama, ba, ba, Bahama, hama

[Verse 2]
Here we go!
You, with your sun-kissed skin (Ok)
Building sandcastles (Like that)
So cute, like you
If it gets hot, let’s bite into ice
Punch splashed with blue
So smooth, like you
I’ll hold you, who’s been running tirelessly
And we’ll dance, oh, la, la, la
I love your smiling face
I know your worries
Come on, wave your hand once
And cast them into the blue sea

[Pre-Chorus]
The sunset is already
Turning red
I want to walk
Holding your hand
What is happiness?
Look, now we’re escaping to, to, to Bahama

[Chorus]
Take me, take me, take me on an ocean-blue
Bahama, ba, ba, Bahama, hama
Surfing, surfing, surfing on a wave with you
Bahama, ba, ba, Bahama, hama

[Bridge]
I love this place
These summer days
For a long, long time
Bahama, Bahama
The stars shine
The city envies us
Louder
Shout out
So, so, so crazy, so crazy
Let’s go to Bahama

[Verse 3]
We can have it all
That’s what we do
Yeah, we can get it on
Yeah, me and you
Bahama
Don’t stop even for a moment
The more we enjoy, the more perfect it becomes
Let’s flow a little slower
Like it? Huh, yeah
Baby, we way too cool
Bahama

[Chorus]
Take me, take me, take me on an ocean-blue
Bahama, ba, ba, Bahama, hama
(Oh, I can take you there)
Surfing, surfing, surfing on a wave with you
Bahama, ba, ba, Bahama, hama

[Outro]
We should go to the beach
Take it slow, Bahama
