[English]

Hello, you've probably heard of me at least once.

Your wisdom tooth

We've all gone through this since we were young.

You might think

Attention boys, I might be a little different.

Pushing away all the others and taking my place.

Deep inside my heart, pa rum pum pum pum.

Secretly, pa rum pum pum pum.

Breaking through your wall and growing inside.

A special experience, rum pum pum pum.

My head feels like it's going to explode.

A new experience, rum pum pum pum.

Ouch, my head's going to hurt.

I probably won't be able to sleep.

You won't forget me easily.

Suddenly appearing one day.

Really, your first love, rum pum pum pum.

What do I do? My hair's growing straight.

You must have been expecting this.

Standing all sassy, I'll tease you.

I'm not that easy, you see.

People talk a lot about this and that.

But you won't really know until you experience it.

Even if you hit me hard trying to pull me out.

I'll probably stay the same forever.

Maybe I won't.

Yeah, probably not.

Now, I'll create a secret just for us.

Shh, just ours, a little secret.

Ouch, my head's going to hurt.

You probably won't be able to sleep either.

You won't forget me easily.

Suddenly appearing one day.

Exciting first love, rum pum pum pum.

Breaking through your wall and growing inside.

Growing through the wall.

Growing through the wall.

Growing through the wall.

My head feels like it's going to burst.

It hurts as if it's going to break apart.

It hurts as if it's going to break apart.

It hurts as if it's going to break apart.

So intensely, as if about to split open.

Ouch, my head's going to hurt.

You probably won't be able to sleep either.

You won't forget me easily.

Suddenly appearing one day.

Really, your first love, rum pum pum pum.

Your real first love.

A special experience, rum pum pum pum.

An exciting first love.

A new experience, rum pum pum pum.

Really, your first love.

A special experience, rum pum pum pum.

An exciting first love.

A new experience, rum pum pum pum.

안녕 한 번쯤은 날 들어 봤겠지

너의 사랑니

이미 어릴 때 모두 겪었다

생각하겠지

Attention boys 나는 좀 다를 걸

다른 애들을 다 밀어내고 자리를 잡지

맘속 깊은 곳에 Pa rum pum pum pum

아주 은밀하게 Pa rum pum pum pum

네 맘 벽을 뚫고 자라난다

특별한 경험 Rum pum pum pum

머리가 깨질 듯이 아파온다

새로운 경험 Rum pum pum pum

아야 머리가 아플 걸

잠도 오지 않을 걸

넌 쉽게 날 잊지 못할 걸

어느 날 깜짝 나타난

진짜 네 첫사랑 Rum pum pum pum

이거 어쩌나 곧게 자란 아일

기대했겠지

삐딱하게 서서 널 괴롭히겠지

내가 좀 쉽진 않지

이렇더라 저렇다 말들만 많지만

겪어보기 전엔 알 수가 없겠지

힘들게 날 뽑아낸다고 한 대도

평생 그 자릴 비워두겠지

아마 난 아닐 걸

Yeah 아마 맞을 걸

이젠 둘만의 비밀을 만들어줄게

깨질 듯이 아파온다

깨질 듯이 아파온다

아주 깨질 듯이

아야 머리가 아플 걸

잠도 오지 않을 걸

넌 쉽게 날 잊지 못할 걸

어느 날 깜짝 나타난
