[English]

Our two faces reflected in the mirror

Raising the moonlit base

Hey, hey, the makeup I’ve dreamed of

So happy to see you

Whatchu say? Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Whatchu say? Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Whatchu say? Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

The secret signs we exchanged

Sitting with a winged pouch in hand

Love it, makeup mode on

Turn on the starlit lights

The mood I’ve hidden at the pocket’s edge

Tonight, I’ll choose, confidence is full

Because I’m with you

I already like it

Whatchu say? Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Mocha-scented lips, chu, heart shape on the cheeks

My heart’s racing

Hey, hey, you and my makeup

So happy to see you

Whatchu say? Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Whatchu say? Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Whatchu say? Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Milky Way in my eyes, like the night sky

Glitter bomb, sparkling bright

My heart’s itching

Lavender powder, a mysterious hue

Feels like I’m under a spell

Between us (our eyes meet)

Laughter spreading (laughter fills)

Yeah, we like it (Yeah, we like it)

Whatchu say? Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Our two faces reflected in the mirror

They match so well, bae

Hey, hey, the makeup I’ve dreamed of

So happy to see you

Whatchu say? Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Whatchu say? Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Whatchu say? Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Ooh, doo

Our magic hour, painted with color

Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

...

거울에 비친 우리 둘의 face

Hey, hey, 꿈꿔온 makeup

So happy to see you

Whatchu say? Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Whatchu say? Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Whatchu say? Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

비밀스럽게 너와 주고받은 sign

날개 달린 pouch 들고 앉아

좋아 makeup mode on

별빛 조명을 켜

주머니 끝 숨겨왔던 mood

오늘만은 choose, 자신감은 full

너와 함께니까

맘에 들지 이미

Whatchu say? Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

모카 향 lip, chu, 볼에는 하트 shape

두근 두근대

Hey, hey, 나와 너의 makeup

So happy to see you

Whatchu say? Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Whatchu say? Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Whatchu say? Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

밤하늘 색 눈엔 Milky Way

Glitter bomb 반짝거리게

맘이 간지러워

Lavender powder, 묘한 hue

마법에 걸린 느낌

우리 사이 (닿은 눈빛)

가득 번진 (웃음소리)

Yeah, we like it (Yeah, we like it)

Whatchu say? Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

거울에 비친 우리 둘의 face

잘 어울려, bae

Hey, hey, 꿈꿔온 makeup

So happy to see you

Whatchu say? Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Whatchu say? Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Whatchu say? Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Ooh, doo

물든 우리의 magic hour

Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

Whatchu say? Whatchu say?

• 올려 달빛 base

  ➔ Imperative form without -아/어요

  ➔ "올려" is the imperative of "올리다" (to raise/put up) used here as a direct command: "Raise the moonlight base!"

• 날개 달린 pouch 들고 앉아

  ➔ Connector -고 linking actions

  ➔ "들고" (holding) and "앉아" (sitting) are linked by the connective "-고", indicating simultaneous actions: "Holding the winged pouch, (we) sit".

• 주머니 끝 숨겨왔던 mood

  ➔ Past perfect '-아/었- + ㄴ/었던' describing a prior state

  ➔ "숨겨왔던" combines "숨기다" (to hide) + "-아/었-" (past) + "-던" (descriptive past), meaning “the mood that had been hidden”.

• 너와 함께니까

  ➔ Reason clause '-니까' (because)

  ➔ "함께니까" = "함께" (together) + "-니까" (because), giving the reason: "because we are together".

• Glitter bomb 반짝거리게

  ➔ Adverbial '-게' turning an adjective into an adverb

  ➔ "반짝거리게" = "반짝거리다" (to sparkle) + "-게" (adverbial), meaning “sparklingly”.

• 우리 사이 (닿은 눈빛)

  ➔ Past participle '-은' used as a modifier

  ➔ "닿은" = "닿다" (to touch) + "-은" (past modifier), describing the eye contact: “the eye contact that touched”.

• 맘에 들지 이미

  ➔ Adverb '이미' (already) placed after the verb for emphasis

  ➔ "들지" is the negative verb "들다" (to like) in its plain form, followed by "이미" (already), giving the sense "already doesn't like it".

• 오늘만은 choose, 자신감은 full

  ➔ Contrastive topic marker '-은/는' with loanwords

  ➔ "오늘만은" uses the contrastive particle "-은" to highlight "only today", while "자신감은 full" puts "자신감" (confidence) as the topic with "-은" and attaches the English adjective "full".
