Mars Lyrics (English Translation) – D.O.

[Verse 1]
You and I live on different planets
Mars has never left in my life
Venus says I can see you
Should I fly to that far away place?

[Pre-Chorus]
A sleepless night
My heart grows bigger
A little worry inside
Well for example

[Chorus]
If we meet, maybe too much
I hope it’s not different
faster than worrying
I want to get close to you
But now I’m stuck on Mars

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
You know I’m stuck on
Ooh
But now I’m stuck on Mars

[Verse 2]
After saying “Hello”
You might feel like an alien
What facial expression should I prepare?
Can I tell you my feelings, mm

[Pre-Chorus]
an unknown encounter
I’m more curious
A little worry inside
Well for example

[Chorus]
If we meet too much
I hope it’s not different
faster than worrying
I want to get close to you
But now, I’m stuck on Mars

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
You know I’m stuck on
Ooh
You know I’m stuck on Mars
Ooh
You know I’m stuck on
Ooh
But now I’m stuck on Mars

[Bridge]
After time passes
I know it’s just a minor worry
I’ll be with you by your side
I hope we start to resemble each other one by one

[Chorus]
Just like an old acquaintance
I hope I can smile
Exciting worries every day
Although I am afraid of further distances
But now, I fly from Mars

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
You know I fly from
Ooh
You know I fly from Mars
Ooh
You know I fly from
Ooh
But now I fly from Mars
