Red Velvet “Automatic” Lyrics

Hangul

How, how do you like this to be?
Natural and automatic for ya

I love the way 내 맘을 감싸 안아 채우고 있어
전엔 몰랐던 It just comes automatic
아주 작은 몸짓에 감각들이 움직여
It just comes so natural, it just comes automatic

매일 기다리던 환상에 어느새
내 심장은 숨 쉬고 있어 네게
잠시 흐트러진 소리가 너를 닿아
사랑이란 진실을 모두 말하게 됐어

따뜻한 이 벨벳 Skin 빛이 살짝 앉은 Lips
비에 젖은 듯한 Eyes 모두 아름다워

I love the way 내 맘을 감싸 안아 채우고 있어
전엔 몰랐던 It just comes automatic
아주 작은 몸짓에 감각들이 움직여
It just comes so natural, it just comes automatic

단 한번 나를 스친 Sugar rush
너무도 자연스레 멈춰 서있어 네게
눈을 감았다 또다시 떠봐도
이미 깊게 빠진 꿈처럼 날 깨울 수 없어

따뜻한 이 벨벳 Skin 빛이 살짝 앉은 Lips (Feel you)
비에 젖은 듯한 Eyes 모두 아름다워 (아름다워)

포근한 니 손 옅게 짓는 미소
너란 세상에선 모두 아름다워

I love the way 내 맘을 감싸 안아 채우고 있어
전엔 몰랐던 It just comes automatic
아주 작은 몸짓에 감각들이 움직여
It just comes so natural, it just comes automatic

이끌림에 난 또 다가가 It’s automatic
이 느낌 그대로 Just hold on

I love the way 니 곁에 나의 발을 맞추고 있어
이미 정해진 It just comes automatic
계속 너의 공간에 함께 머물고 싶어
It just comes so natural, it just comes automatic

It just comes automatic

Translation

How, how do you like this to be?
Natural and automatic for ya

I love the way you wrap around my heart, filling me up
I didn’t know before, it just comes automatic
My senses move at the smallest body movements
It just comes so natural It just comes Automatic

I’ve waited for these fantasies every day
My heart is breathing toward you
The momentarily scattering sounds reach you
Telling you all the truths about my love

Warm velvet skin, lips with a soft light on them
Eyes that are wet like rain, it’s all beautiful

I love the way you wrap around my heart, filling me up
I didn’t know before, it just comes automatic
My senses move at the smallest body movements
It just comes so natural, it just comes automatic

The sugar rush comes over me at once
I’m so naturally stopped in front of you
I close my eyes and open them again
But I can’t wake up from this deep dream

Warm velvet skin, lips with a soft light on them
Eyes that are wet like rain, it’s all beautiful

Your warm hands, your soft smile
In your world, it’s all beautiful

I love the way you wrap around my heart, filling me up
I didn’t know before, it just comes automatic
My senses move at the smallest body movements
It just comes so natural, it just comes automatic

I’m being pulled by you, it’s automatic
This feeling, just as it is, just hold on

I love the way, I’m matching my footsteps to yours
It’s already decided, it just comes automatic
I want to continue to stay in the same place as you
It just comes so natural, it just comes automatic

It just comes automatic
