LALALI Lyrics (English Translation) – SEVENTEEN

[Verse 1]
What is your behavior?
Will I listen to you?
Is there nothing to do like that?
I can’t live like you
Music blasting
Break all the windows
Fu*k the neighbors
Speaker roof pierced
Our experiment to create the greenhouse effect
Trying to take a snap
Please no photos
Look at me, look at me, yeah
Bounce with me, bounce with me, yeah
The feeling is la-la-li, earned by playing
But fans all over the world are L-O-V-E
Poompai 13 servings pay
I’m fully full.
S-V-T can’t stop it
Fill the globe with my footsteps

[Pre-Chorus]
Free throw like Malone
My team with the free smoke
Chartered flight to Gimpo
Calypso on the sea
Sparks fly as soon as my feet touch
Hot hot hot hot
Not Tteokbokki
You can do it. Try it like we do.

[Chorus]
No problem, I’m la-la-li
Like, la-la-li, la-la-li
No problem, I’m la-la-li
Like, like
La-la-li, La-la-li

[Verse 2]
I’ve been through the storm
Someone try to stop us
I told you, I’m a monster
If you can’t enjoy it, you’ll fail
If you’re scared, step back
Jump around and play, our energy dollar
No one can stop me on stage
I’m la-la-li, I’m flying
Current status flight mode
If you attack me, my answer is call
Even if there is a lot of noise, blah blah blah
Keep your attitude, hands in your pockets
8:2 Perfect for parted hair
I spit my overflowing saliva into the microphone.
With your legs crossed at about 18 degrees
Listen humbly and applaud

[Pre-Chorus]
Free throw like Malone
My team with the free smoke
Chartered flight to Gimpo
Calypso on the sea
Sparks fly as soon as my feet touch
Hot hot hot hot
Not Tteokbokki
You can do it. Try it like we do.

[Chorus]
No problem, I’m la-la-li
Like, like, la-la-li, la-la-li
No problem, I’m la-la-li
Like, like, la-la-li, la-la-li
No problem, I’m la-la-li

[Bridge]
(Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo) We do whatever we want
(Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo) We’re a thorn in our side.
(Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo) We do whatever we want

[Chorus]
No problem, I’m la-la-li
Like, like, la-la-li, La-la-li
No problem, I’m la-la-li
Like, like, la-la-li, La-la-li
No problem, I’m la-la-li
No problem, I’m la-la-li
