Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language through music is a fantastic journey, and 2NE1's '아파 (It Hurts)' is a perfect starting point for those interested in Korean. The song's slower tempo and clear emotional expression make it easier to follow the lyrics and understand the nuances of the language. '아파 (It Hurts)' is special not only for its beautiful melody but also for how it showcases a different, more vulnerable side of the iconic K-pop group 2NE1, making it a culturally and linguistically rich piece to explore.

[English]

Walking down the street with her, wearing the shoes I gave you

Kissing her so casually

Spraying the cologne I gave you, holding her in your arms

Making those promises we made again, I guess

Are we too late? Is our love over?

Say something to me, oh

We really loved each other, can't we go back?

I'm hurting so much tonight

Have you changed in your heart?

Am I no longer there for you?

When I, when I think of you

It hurts so much (it hurts), it hurts, it hurts

Looking at my tears as if they were nothing

Casually continuing to speak

You said you couldn't say no, that you had no lingering feelings

That you had no regrets, you said it so cruelly (uh)

Are we already too late? Is our love over? (uh)

At least tell me it's not true, even if it's a lie (uh)

I can do better now

Even though we can't be together again

I'm hurting so much tonight

Have you changed in your heart?

Am I no longer there for you?

When I, when I think of you

It hurts so much (it hurts), it hurts, it hurts

You're not the you I used to know anymore

The you I loved and the you now are so different

I just blankly watched you walk away, and I stood there crying

No way, I can't recognize

You're not mine anymore

Did you have to change? Can't you come back? (you're not mine anymore)

Did you have to change so much? Can't you come back to me? (you're not mine anymore)

Did you have to change? Can't you come back? (you're not mine anymore)

Why did you have to change? Couldn't we just keep loving each other?

Oh, is it the end? In your heart

Am I no longer there for you?

When I, when I think of you

It hurts so much (it hurts), it hurts, it hurts

It hurts, it hurts

It hurts, it hurts

[Korean]

내가 준 신발을 신고 그녀와 길을 걷고

아무렇지 않게 그녀와 kiss하고

내가 준 향술 뿌리고 그녀를 품에 안고

나와 했던 그 약속 또 다시 하겠죠

우린 이미 늦었나 봐요, 우리 사랑 끝난 건가요

아무 말이라도 좀 내게 해줘요, oh

우리 정말 사랑했잖아, 되돌릴 순 없는 건가요

오늘밤 나 많이 아파요

변했니 네 맘 속에

이제 난 더 이상 없는 거니

난 널 널 생각하면

너무 아파 (아파), 아파 아파

아무것도 아니란 듯 내 눈물 바라보고

태연하게 말을 또 이어가고

아니란 말 못하겠다고 그 어떤 미련도

후회도 전혀 없다고 잔인하게 말했죠 (uh)

우린 이미 늦은 건가요, 우리 사랑 끝난 건가요 (uh)

거짓말이라도 좀 아니라고 해줘요 (uh)

이젠 더 잘할 수 있는데

다시 만날 수는 없지만

오늘 밤 나 많이 아파요

변했니 네 맘 속에

이제 난 더 이상 없는 거니

난 널 널 생각하면

너무 아파 (아파), 아파 아파

더 이상 예전의 네가 아니야

내가 사랑한 너와 지금의 네가 너무도 달라서

그저 멍하니 멀어지는 널 바라보고만 서서 울었어

No way, I can't recognize

You're not mine anymore

변해야 했니 돌아올 순 없니 (you're not mine anymore)

꼭 변해야 했니 돌아와줄 순 없니 (you're not mine anymore)

변해야 했니 돌아올 순 없니 (you're not mine anymore)

왜 변해야 하니, 계속 사랑할 순 없니

Oh, 끝인 거니 네 맘 속에

이제 난 더 이상 없는 거니

난 널 널 생각하면

너무 아파 (아파), 아파 아파

아파 아파

아파 아파
