One two three let it hit right now
하나 둘 셋 지금 바로 시작해
Lights go up when I come around
내가 나타나면 조명이 켜지지
I don’t try hard I just lean right in
애쓰지 않아 그저 몸을 맡길 뿐
One small move and I double win

Didn’t plan much just followed the sound
거창한 계획 없이 그저 소리를 따랐어
Took one step now I own this town
한 걸음 내디뎠는데 이 도시를 가졌네
Every glance turns into a sign
스치는 시선마다 신호가 되고
I bet on once now I’m paid twice
한 번의 베팅으로 두 배의 보상을 받아
I was aiming kinda simple
단순한 걸 목표로 삼았을 뿐인데
Didn’t think it would be this cool
이렇게 멋지게 풀릴 줄은 몰랐어

One shot double win
한 번의 시도, 두 배의 승리
Feel the rush kick in
밀려오는 전율을 느껴봐
I reach for one thing
하나를 손에 뻗었을 뿐인데
And I get it times two

Said one word now the room goes wild
말 한마디에 분위기는 달아오르고
Dropped one joke now I see your smile
농담 한 번에 네 미소를 보았지
Didn’t chase I just stayed my lane
쫓아가지 않고 내 자리를 지켰을 뿐인데
Same old me with a bigger gain
예전 그대로의 내 모습으로 더 큰 결실을 봐
Keep it light keep it moving fast
가볍게 계속 움직여
I don’t overthink the math
복잡한 계산은 하지 않아
Life loves a fearless spin
인생은 두려움 없는 회전을 사랑하니까
One small risk now I double win
작은 위험 하나로 난 두 배의 승리를 해
One shot double win
한 번의 시도, 두 배의 승리
Hear the crowd join in
함께 외치는 소리를 들어봐
I go all in just once

And it pays in the end
결국 값진 보상이 따르네
One shot double win
한 번의 시도, 두 배의 승리
Let the good luck spin
행운의 회전을 시작해
I reach for one dream
하나의 꿈을 향해 뻗었을 뿐인데
And I get it times two
두 배로 내게 돌아오네
Maybe that’s the magic trick
어쩌면 그게 마법 같은 비결일지 몰라
Don’t try twice just make it slick
두 번 하려 말고 한 번에 매끄럽게
When you trust that single move
단 한 번의 움직임을 믿을 때
The world says I got you
세상은 말해, '내가 도와줄게'라고
One shot double win
한 번의 시도, 두 배의 승리
Yeah we shout it again
그래 다시 한번 외쳐보자
I go all in just once
딱 한 번 모든 걸 걸었을 뿐인데
And it pays in the end
결국 값진 보상이 따르네
One shot double win
한 번의 시도, 두 배의 승리
Every beat locked in
모든 비트가 딱 맞아떨어져
I reach for one thing
하나를 향해 손을 뻗었을 뿐인데
And I get it times two
두 배로 내게 돌아오네
One move one spark that’s all I need
하나의 움직임, 하나의 불꽃, 내겐 그거면 돼
Two good things chasing me
두 가지 좋은 일이 나를 뒤따르네
