The lyrics in Chiave's story do seem familiar, but also kind of different. Let's see what songs they are listening to!

Danza Kuduro (Dance the Kuduro) by Don Omar

In game text (translated from Arknights CN script):
Put your hand on your stomach
Don't lose your breath, jump hard
Throw yourself into the crowd, everything has just begun

Original lyrics (Spanish):
Las manos arriba
Cintura sola
Da media vuelta
Danza kuduro
No te canses ahora
Que esto solo empieza

English lyrics:
Your hand up
[move your] waist only
Turn halfway around
dance the Kuduro
Don’t get tired now
this is only just beginning

Galway Girl by Ed Sheeran

In game text:
She played the harmonica in a Victorian band
But she fell in love with a Columbian man.

Original lyrics:
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English man.

The Sound of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel

In game text:
Hello brightness, my old friend
I've come to talk to you again

Original lyrics:
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk to you again

Bella Ciao (Goodbye Beautiful): An Italian folk song

In game text:
Bury me up in the wilderness, and you have to bury me
Oh Goodbye friend, Goodbye, Goodbye

Original lyrics (Italian):
Mi seppellire lassù in montagna.
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao

English translation:
Bury me up there in the mountains.
O goodbye beauty, goodbye, goodbye

Young for You by The Gala

In game lyrics:
I want to ride my beast of burden on Saturday
Like a superstar, show up at your door with presents

Original lyrics:
Sunday's coming i wanna drive my car
To your apartment with present like a star

What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction

In game lyrics:
But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
You don't know, oh-oh
You don't know you're ugly

Original lyrics:
But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
You don't know, oh-oh
You don't know you're beautiful
