[English]

하나론 모자라

두 눈을 맞춰 봐, 반쪽을 원친 않아

넌 나만 바라봐

그게 당연한 거야, 욕심이 아니잖아

파도처럼 몰아치다가, they all go

변할 때 변한다 해도 지금은 make sure

내 사랑 끝엔 파란 check, 심장은 verified

이제 너를 보여 봐

Make me feel alive

의미 없는 말들로 채우지 마

지금 내게 집중해

알 수 없는 네 맘을 알 수 있게

All eyes on me

You and me

멈출 듯이

내 걸음 짓나

Another time again

절대 밟히지

단 하루뿐인 life

꽃잎처럼 날아

숨죽이고 봐 난 movie (movie), 눈빛으로만 넌 prove it (prove it)

도대체 잃을 게 뭔지? 믿고 뛰어 봐, bungee

내 두 눈은 항상 널 쳐다보고 있잖아

이제 너를 보여 봐

Make me feel alive

의미 없는 말들로 채우지 마

지금 내게 집중해

알 수 없는 네 맘을 알 수 있게

All eyes on me

한순간 눈 깜빡할 사이 사라질지 몰라

Nothing can buy you love

딴눈 팔지 마

All that I need

All eyes on me

  ➔ "-처럼" means 'like' or 'as if,' used for comparison. "-다가" indicates that an action was ongoing and then stopped or changed, or that one action occurred and was followed by another. "몰아치다가" means 'while surging/raging like waves'.

• 변할 때 변한다 해도

  ➔ -(ㄴ/은/는)다 해도

  ➔ This concessive pattern "-(ㄴ/은/는)다 해도" means 'even if,' 'even though,' or 'even if it is said that.' It expresses a concession or a hypothetical situation. "변한다 해도" means 'even if it changes'.

• 의미 없는 말들로 채우지 마

  ➔ -(으)로 + -지 마

  ➔ "-로" indicates the instrument or means by which an action is performed. "-지 마" is a negative imperative, meaning 'don't do something'. "채우지 마" means 'don't fill'.

• 절대 밟히지

  ➔ Passive voice (-히-)

  ➔ The suffix "-히-" (along with -이-, -리-, -기-) is used to form the passive voice, indicating that the subject is acted upon rather than performing the action. "밟히지" (from 밟다 - to step on) means 'is stepped on' or 'is trampled'.

• 도대체 잃을 게 뭔지?

  ➔ -(으)ㄹ 게 + -(으)ㄴ/는지
