NCT 127 “Love On The Floor” Lyrics

Hangul

시선을 피해 고개를 숙여도
향기가 진해 코끝에 흐르고
엇박 네 걸음에 속도를 맞추고
이토록 끌리는지

밤 짙어가는 지금
너 몰래 너와 함께 추는 왈츠
난 긴장 속에 몸이 떨려 자꾸
건반 위를 걷는 듯이
위태로운 나의 몸이

힐끗 너와 눈 맞춘 순간
We dance
발끝에 널 맞춰 본
Tonight we dance
우리 둘을 비춰 온 저 달
You’ll see me
뜨거워진 공기
너를 향한 몸짓
Love On The Floor

Dance
uh on the floor
yeah on the floor
on the floor

Yeah yeah 은밀해진 교감
원을 그리듯이 다가가는 시간 yo
눈에 너를 담아
음악보다 음악 같은
네 목소릴 감아 yo
Tic tac on the low
너의 그 손짓에 장르가 바뀌고
yeah 자꾸 몸이 비틀대
너를 훔쳐볼 때 머릿속은 몽롱

and I can feel the feel
the fire growing in the air
꿈이 아닌 꿈만 같은
I can take you there

이 시대에 내 낭만은 너 너
나 수없이 바래
더 가까이 more more
널 집중할 때면
그 무엇도 so so
but baby it’s me
and you now now now

밤 덮여 있는 지금
네 곁에 내가 혼자 추는 왈츠
긴 관능 속에 고조되는 기분
건반 위를 뛰는 듯이
가쁜 숨을 몰아쉬니

힐끗 너와 눈 맞춘 순간
We dance
발끝에 널 맞춰 본
Tonight we dance
우리 둘을 비춰 온 저 달
You’ll see me
뜨거워진 공기
너를 향한 몸짓
Love On The Floor

Life is a bastard
넌 걔를 딱 휘어잡아
꼿꼿하게 세운 굽 heels on
Leave ’em all underneath
you it’s true
정박 같은 깔끔함도
엇박 같은 미묘함
모두 널 표현해 놓은 듯 하지
There’s a delay in my head

It’s in your eyes
손에 잡힐 듯한 그 거리에
(Tell me that you want me)
알 듯 말 듯한
너의 표정까지
이상하게 좋아 난

힐끗 너와 눈 맞춘 순간
We Dance
(But only for tonight)
발끝에 널 맞춰 본
Tonight We Dance
(Take it where you)
샹들리에 빛 같은 Starlight
(oh baby)
You’ll see me
(Exactly where we going girl)
희미해진 공기
너를 위한 몸짓

Translation

Even if I lower my head to avoid your gaze
Your scent is so thick, it drifts to the tip of my nose
Matching my speed to your offbeat footsteps
How can I be this drawn to you?

Now, as the night deepens
Secretly, a waltz I dance with you
My body keeps trembling in tension
As if walking on piano keys
My precarious body
The moment I catch your eyes with a glance

We dance
Matching my tiptoes to yours
Tonight we dance
That moon that has been shining on the two of us
You’ll see me
The air getting hotter
My gestures toward you
Love On The Floor

Dance
uh on the floor
yeah on the floor
on the floor

Yeah yeah, a connection grown secretive A time that approaches like drawing a circle, yo Putting you in my eyes Wrapping myself in your voice Which is more like music than music itself, yo

Tic tac on the low At that hand gesture of yours, the genre changes Yeah, my body keeps swaying When I steal a glance at you, my mind gets hazy

and I can feel the feel the fire growing in the air Like a dream that isn’t just a dream I can take you there

In this generation, my romance is you, you I wish for it countless times Closer, more, more When I focus on you Nothing else matters, so so but baby it’s me and you now now now

Now, as the night covers us By your side, a waltz I dance alone A feeling that heightens in long sensuality As if jumping on piano keys As I catch my heavy breath The moment I catch your eyes with a glance

We dance Matching my tiptoes to yours Tonight we dance That moon that has been shining on the two of us You’ll see me The air getting hotter My gestures toward you Love On The Floor

Life is a bastard You hold it tight and control it Heels on, heels held high and straight Leave ’em all underneath you it’s true

A neatness like a downbeat A subtlety like an offbeat It all seems to express you

There’s a delay in my head It’s in your eyes At a distance where I feel like I can reach you (Tell me that you want me) Even your expression That seems hard to read Strangely, I like it

The moment I catch your eyes with a glance We Dance (But only for tonight) Matching my tiptoes to yours Tonight We Dance (Take it where you) Starlight like the light of a chandelier (oh baby)

You’ll see me (Exactly where we going girl) The fading air My gestures for you Love On The Floor (baby oh)

Yeah dance
uh dance on the floor, woo
