Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language can be as fun and energetic as BSS's song '청바지 (Cheongbaji)'!

By listening, you can pick up fun, encouraging phrases and experience the joyful energy of modern K-Pop, making your language journey feel like a party.

Finally, here are these people, everyone

At last, these are the ones

Let me introduce

They call us SEVENTEEN

On a boring weekday, our mouths get rough

Problems pop up like hot popcorn

Whatever, I don't care

Everyday feels like adolescence

"We're young," the sunrise will come someday

Jeans (Jeans)

Put on everything and come out

Jeans

Do as you please, what does it matter

Except for mom's nagging, just one thing

Why worry so early?

Happiness is SEVENTEEN, we're jeans, let's go

Hey, hey

Happiness is SEVENTEEN, we're jeans

Even after work, my phone’s still on duty

Accidentally checked the flood of messages

Whatever, I don't care

Everyday feels like adolescence

Today's dress code is

Jeans, it’s jeans

Put on everything and come out

청바지라네

Jeans

Do as you please, what does it matter

Except for dad's nagging, just one thing

Why worry so early?

Happiness is SEVENTEEN, we're jeans, let's go

"Youth is right now"

"Youth is right now"

‘청춘은 바로 지금’

‘청춘은 바로 지금’

‘청춘은 바로 지금’

"Youth is right now"

"Youth is right now"

"Youth is right now"

"Youth is right now"

Hello, to my heart

Follow youth completely

Let's have a drink, capturing the moment now

Happiness is SEVENTEEN, we're jeans, let's go

Key Grammar Structures

• 뭣도 아닌 일에 입이 거칠어지는 평일

  ➔ Adjective + -아/어지다: Becoming/Getting

  ➔ The expression "-아/어지다" is attached to adjectives to indicate a change in state. In this case, "거칠어지다" (geochireojida) means "becoming rough" or "getting rough". "입이 거칠어지는 평일" means "weekdays when one's speech gets rough/harsh" because of trivial things.

• 할 일이 터져 마치 뜨거운 팝콘 같지

  ➔ -지 (Suffix): Declarative ending, similar to 'right?' or 'isn't it?'

  ➔ The ending "-지" adds a sense of confirmation or exclamation. It's like saying 'isn't it?' or 'right?' In this case, "같지" (gatji) emphasizes the comparison with hot popcorn.

• “우린 젊기에” 해 뜨는 날이 오겠지

  ➔ -(으)ㄹ 것이다 (Future Tense)

  ➔ The grammar "-(으)ㄹ 것이다" indicates future tense. In "오겠지" (ogetji), it shows expectation or conjecture about the future. '해 뜨는 날이 오겠지' means 'A day when the sun rises will come' with a sense of hope.

• 맘대로 해 아무렴 어때

  ➔ -아/어/여도 괜찮다 (It's okay even if/No matter)

  ➔ The phrase "아무렴 어때" literally translates to "no matter what, how is it?". It conveys the meaning of "it doesn't matter" or "who cares?". It's used to express indifference or acceptance.

• 걱정을 왜 벌써 하니

  ➔ -니 (Interrogative Ending)

  ➔ The ending "-니" is an interrogative ending used for questions, often implying a gentle or familiar tone. It's commonly used when talking to someone close.

• 왜 퇴근해도 내 Phone은 정상 영업 중인지

  ➔ -ㄴ/은/는지 (Indirect Question)

  ➔ The ending "-ㄴ/은/는지" is used to form indirect questions. It's like asking 'I wonder why...' or 'Do you know if...'. In this sentence, it means "I wonder why my phone is still working normally even after I leave work."
