Lyrics & Translation

[English]

아마 여기부터 우리 모두 처음일 거야

가끔은 낯설고 때로는 두렵겠지만

여전히 내 곁엔 네가 있어 설레

Um- 넌 어때?

이제부터 가 본 적 없는 길일 거야

매일이 처음에, 반복에 서툴겠지만

여전히 내 안엔 너로 핀 용기가

Um, 가득해

HERE WE GO, 가보자고

그 까짓것 아무것도 아닌 것처럼

HERE WE GO, 해보자고

너와 내가 함께라면 가능하다고

Woah- Woah-

Woah- Woah-

HERE WE GO, HERE WE GO

기대해 우리가 새로 써 내려 갈 page

사실 좀 벅차기도 해

우리 옛 드라마 속에

예상 못한 전개, 오히려 짜릿해

Um, Take my hand

HERE WE GO, 가보자고

그 까짓것 아무것도 아닌 것처럼

HERE WE GO, 해보자고

너와 내가 함께라면 가능하다고

늘 기억해, 난 Always

네 곁에, 그 어떤 날들이 온대도

HERE WE GO, 가보자고

지금까지 늘 그래왔었던 것처럼

HERE WE GO, 해보자고

너와 내가 함께라면 그 언제라도

Woah- Woah-

Woah- Woah-

HERE WE GO, HERE WE GO

기대해 우리가 새로 써 내려 갈 page

Key Grammar Structures

• 아마 여기부터 우리 모두 처음일 거야

  ➔ Future conjecture/probability (~(으)ㄹ 거야)

  ➔ The ending "일 거야" indicates the speaker's conjecture or strong likelihood about a future event. Here, it suggests that 'this will probably be the first time for all of us'.

• 가끔은 낯설고 때로는 두렵겠지만

  ➔ Concessive conjunction (~겠지만)

  ➔ The ending "겠지만" is used to express a concession or contrast, meaning 'although (something is the case)' or 'but'. It indicates that even if something is unfamiliar or scary, the following statement is still true.

• 여전히 내 곁엔 네가 있어 설레

  ➔ Cause/Reason for emotion (~아/어서, implicit)

  ➔ The verb form "있어" implicitly uses the "~아/어서" connective ending (있어서), which indicates the cause or reason for the following action or emotion. Here, it means 'because you are by my side, I'm excited'. This form is often contracted or implied with certain verbs/adjectives.

• 이제부터 가 본 적 없는 길일 거야

  ➔ Experience: have done/have not done (~아/어 본 적 있다/없다)

  ➔ The pattern "본 적 없는" (from 보다 + ~아/어 본 적 있다/없다) is used to express whether one has experienced something or not. Here, combined with "없는" (not existing), it means 'a path that one has never been on'.

• 그 까짓것 아무것도 아닌 것처럼

  ➔ Similarity: 'like', 'as if' (~처럼)

  ➔ The particle "처럼" is attached to a noun or a clause ending in "~(으)ㄴ/는 것" to indicate similarity, meaning 'like' or 'as if'. Here, it means 'as if it were nothing at all'.

• 너와 내가 함께라면 가능하다고

  ➔ Conditional ('if') (~다면/라면)

  ➔ The ending "라면" is a conditional form meaning 'if (it is/were the case that)'. It often follows a noun or an indirect quote. Here, it states 'if you and I are together'. The "다고" is an indirect quote suffix.

• 기대해 우리가 새로 써 내려 갈 page

  ➔ Future descriptive modifier / Adnominal form (~(으)ㄹ)

  ➔ The adnominal ending "갈" (from 가다 + ~(으)ㄹ) is used to modify a noun (page) by indicating a future action. It describes 'the page that we will write down'. This form turns a verb into an adjective describing a future event related to the noun.

• 사실 좀 벅차기도 해

  ➔ Addition/Emphasis: 'also', 'too' (~기도 하다)

  ➔ The pattern "기도 해" (verb/adjective stem + 기 + 도 하다) is used to add an emphasis or to state that something is also true, or that something happens sometimes. Here, it means 'it is also a bit overwhelming'.

• 그 어떤 날들이 온대도

  ➔ Concessive ('even if it is said that...', 'even if it happens that...') (~(ㄴ/는)대도)

  ➔ The ending "온대도" is a contraction of "온다고 해도" (오다 + ~ㄴ다고 해도), a concessive form meaning 'even if it is said that' or 'even if it happens that'. It indicates that something will be true regardless of a certain situation or rumor.
