[English]

Bubble pop! Bubble pop!

...

Don’t try to change me from the start to the end.

Or better yet, meet someone else (Oooh, you).

Don’t complain! (Oooh, you).

What’s wrong if I go out late at night and have fun?

What if I don’t answer the phone sometimes? (Oooh, yeah).

Why do you keep acting like that? Don’t you trust me?

(Woo, boy!) Don’t try to shape me to your liking.

(Hey boy!) Don’t expect more from me.

(My boy!) My heart’s growing like a bubble.

Bubble, bubble, bubble pop! Bubble, bubble pop! Pop!

(Woo, boy!) Just think about it honestly.

(Hey boy!) Look at me as I am.

(My boy!) My heart’s growing like a bubble.

Bubble, bubble, bubble pop! Bubble, bubble pop! Pop!

...

Speak nicely, smile sweetly.

Keep in touch more often (Huh, huh). Take good care of yourself, hey (Hey, hey, hey).

Bubble, bubble, bubble pop! Pop! (Oooh, oooh).

It’s okay to feel sad sometimes after laughing.

Suddenly liking me and then not liking me, how about that? (Oooh, oooh).

Why do you keep acting like that? Don’t you know me?

(Woo, boy!) Don’t try to shape me to your liking.

(Hey boy!) Don’t expect more from me.

(My boy!) My heart’s growing like a bubble.

Bubble, bubble, bubble pop! Bubble, bubble pop! Pop!

(Woo, boy!) Just think about it honestly.

(Hey boy!) Look at me as I am.

(My boy!) My heart’s growing like a bubble.

Bubble, bubble, bubble pop! Bubble, bubble pop! Pop!

...

(Boy!) Don’t try to shape me to your liking.

(Boy!) Don’t expect more from me.

(Boy!) My heart’s growing like a bubble.

Bubble, bubble, bubble pop! Bubble, bubble pop! Pop!

(Woo, boy!) Just think about it honestly.

(Hey boy!) Look at me as I am.

(My boy!) My heart’s growing like a bubble.

Bubble, bubble, bubble pop! Bubble, bubble pop! Pop!

...

[Korean]

Bubble pop! Bubble pop!

처음부터 끝까지 날 바꾸려 하지 마

아니면 차라리 다른 사람 만나 (우 우우우우 너)

투덜대지 마! (우 우우우우 너)

밤 늦게 나가서 놀면 좀 어때

어쩌다 전화 안 받으면 어때 (우 우우우우, hey)

왜 자꾸 그래 너! 나를 못 믿니

(Woo, boy!) 너에게 날 맞추진 마

(Hey boy!) 나에게 더 바라진 마

(My boy!) 거품처럼 커진 맘을

Bubble, bubble, bubble pop! Bubble, bubble pop! Pop!

(Woo, boy!) 있는 그대로 생각해 봐

(Hey boy!) 보이는 대로 날 바라봐 줘

(My boy!) 거품처럼 커진 맘을

Bubble, bubble, bubble pop! Bubble, bubble pop! Pop!

말은 좀 예쁘게 해 웃을 땐 얌전하게

연락은 좀 자주해 (huh, huh) 너나 잘해, hey (hey, hey, hey)

Bubble, bubble pop! Pop! (우 우우우우)

웃다가 가끔 우울하면 어때

좋다가 갑자기 싫어짐 어때 (우 우우우우)

왜 자꾸 그래 너! 나를 모르니

(Woo, boy!) 너에게 날 맞추진 마

(Hey boy!) 나에게 더 바라진 마

(My boy!) 거품처럼 커진 맘을

Bubble, bubble, bubble pop! Bubble, bubble pop! Pop!

(Woo, boy!) 있는 그대로 생각해 봐

(Hey boy!) 보이는 대로 날 바라봐 줘

(My boy!) 거품처럼 커진 맘을

Bubble, bubble, bubble pop! Bubble, bubble pop! Pop!

(Boy!) 너에게 날 맞추진 마

(Boy!) 나에게 더 바라진 마

(Boy!) 거품처럼 커진 맘을

Bubble, bubble, bubble pop! Bubble, bubble pop! Pop!

(Woo, boy!) 있는 그대로 생각해 봐

(Hey boy!) 보이는 대로 날 바라봐 줘

(My boy!) 거품처럼 커진 맘을

Key Grammar Structures

• 처음부터 끝까지 날 바꾸려 하지 마

  ➔ Try to do something (negative form)

  ➔ The phrase "바꾸려 하지 마" uses the verb "하다" (to do) with "-려 하다" to indicate an intention or attempt, combined with "지 않다" (하지 마) to make it negative, meaning "don't try to".

• 나에게 더 바라진 마

  ➔ Imperative negative for the verb "바라다" (to hope, want)

  ➔ The phrase "바라진 마" employs the informal imperative form "-진 마" derived from "지 마" to give a negative command, meaning "don't hope" or "don't wish".

• 어쩌다 전화 안 받으면 어때

  ➔ Conditional clause with "if" meaning "what if something happens"

  ➔ The phrase "안 받으면" combines "안" (not) with "받다" (to receive/answer) plus "-으면" which indicates a conditional "if", forming "if I don't answer".

• 거품처럼 커진 맘을

  ➔ Simile construction with "처럼" (like/as) to compare "커진 맘" (grown heart/mind) to "거품" (bubble)

  ➔ The phrase "처럼" is used to compare "커진 맘" (a heart or feelings that has grown) to "거품" (bubble), creating a metaphor.

• 보이는 대로 날 바라봐 줘

  ➔ Imperative form with "줘" (please give/please do for me) used as a polite command

  ➔ The verb "바라봐" (look at, watch) is followed by "줘" which softens the command, making it polite and expressive of a request: "please look at me as I am."
