[Korean:]
비슷한 것 같지 우린 뼛속까지 다름
아이 창피하다가도 멍석 깔면 바름
Born skinny, bish 암만 살쪄도 난 마름
계산은 느려도 눈치는 빠름
인기를 논하자면 안 해 입만 아픔
F boys, not my boys 싹둑싹둑 자름
우리 이름 틀린다면 뚜두뚜두 맞음
Drip, drip, ice it out, bust it down
Top to the bottom
검은색 분홍빛이
All up in it, make it lit like
Yeah, we some bishes you can’t manage
또 이 어려운 걸 해내지
우린 예쁘장한 Savage
We some 예쁘장한 savage
You better run, run, run
You better run, run, run
All my diamonds, they yellow or bright white
Got ’em blind, can’t find me, I’m outta sight
If you mad, stay mad, we not alike
S-A-V-A-G-E, keep it pretty, pretty savage
비슷한 걸 걸쳤지만 자태부터 다름
짠 하고 나타나면 카펫부터 깔음
BLACK 했다 PINK 했다 내 맘대로 바꿈
네 질투가 문제야
Maybe I’m the problem
검은색 분홍빛이
All up in it, make it rain like
Yeah, we some bishes you can’t manage
또 이 어려운 걸 해내지
우린 예쁘장한 Savage
We some 예쁘장한 savage
You better run, run, run

S-A-V-A-G-E, keep it pretty, pretty savage
Pretty girl
웃어주지만 마냥 약하진 않아

Savage 봐도 봐도 예쁘장한

[English translation:]
It seems similar, we are different to our bones
Even if you are embarrassed, apply it if you lay it on
Born skinny, bitch, even if I gain weight, I’m dry
Calculation is slow, but noticeable
I don’t want to talk about popularity, only my mouth hurts
Fuck boys, not my boys
If our name is wrong, it’s right
Drip, drip, ice it out, bust it down, top to the bottom
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
Blackpink
All up in it, make it lit, like
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
Yeah, we some bitches you can’t manage
I do this difficult thing again
We are pretty savage
We some pretty savage
You better run, run, run
You better run, run, run
All my diamonds, they yellow or bright white
Got ’em blind can’t find me, I’m outta sight
If you mad stay mad, we not alike (Uh-uh)
S-A-V-A-G-E, keep it pretty, pretty savage
I wore something similar but different from my appearance
If it appears salty, lay the carpet first
I was black, I was pink, I changed my way
Your jealousy is the problem maybe I’m the problem
All up in it, make it rain, like
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
Yeah, we some bitches you can’t manage
I do this difficult thing again
We are pretty savage
We some pretty savage
You better run, run, run
You better run, run, run
All my diamonds, they yellow or bright white
Got ’em blind can’t find me, I’m outta sight
If you mad stay mad, we not alike
S-A-V-A-G-E, keep it pretty, pretty savage
Pretty girl
Smile, but not weak
And I wish you would (Wish you would)
The rain and wind blows, the higher it flies
I got nothin’ left to say to you
If you want, I’ll show you attitude
Even if you don’t say anything, you know everything
You know
You look savage and look pretty
Savage (So pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty)
You look savage and look pretty
Savage (So pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty)
