Lyrics & Translation

[Korean]

[English]

느낌이 오잖아 떨리고 있잖아

You can feel it, you’re trembling

언제까지 눈치만 볼 거니

How long are you going to keep hesitating?

네 맘을 말해봐 딴청 피우지 말란 말이야

Tell me how you feel, I’m not joking around

네 맘 가는 그대로 지금 내 손을 잡아

Just go with what you feel, hold my hand right now

어서 내 손을 잡아

Come on, hold my hand

...

...

우연히 고개를 돌릴 때 마다

Every time I turn my head by chance

눈이 마주치는 건

Our eyes meet

며칠밤 내내 꿈속에 나타나

Appearing in my dreams for nights on end

밤새 나를 괴롭히는 건

Haunting me all night

그 많은 빈자리 중에서 하필

Among so many empty seats, why

내 옆자릴 고르는 건

Did you choose to sit next to me?

나도 모르게 어느새 실없는 웃음

Without realizing it, I’m unknowingly smiling for no reason

흘리고 있다는 건

That I’ve been letting out such silly laughs

그럼 말 다했지 뭐 우리 얘기 좀 할까

Well, I guess that’s enough talking, shall we chat?

느낌이 오잖아 떨리고 있잖아

You can feel it, you’re trembling

언제까지 눈치만 볼 거니

How long are you going to keep hesitating?

네 맘을 말해봐 딴청 피우지 말란 말이야

Tell me how you feel, I’m not joking around

네 맘 가는 그대로 지금 내 손을 잡아

Just go with what you feel, hold my hand right now

핸드폰 진동에 심장이 덜컥

My heart skipped a beat from the phone vibration

내려 앉는다는 건

And I flinched

오 나도 모르게 어느새 짓궂은 네 말투

Suddenly, your mischievous tone

자꾸 듣고 싶은걸

Keeps making me want to hear it more

어떡해

What should I do

(저기 멀리 걸어온다)

(You’re walking from afar)

(눈이 마주친다)

(Our eyes meet)

언제까지 넌 모른척 할거니

How long will you keep ignoring me?

사랑이 온거야 너와 나 말이야

Love has come, between you and me

네가 좋아 정말 못 견딜 만큼

I really like you, I just can’t stand it

그거면 된거야 더는 생각하지 말란 말이야

That’s all I need, don’t think about anything else

네 맘 가는 그대로

Just go with how you feel

느낌이 오잖아 떨리고 있잖아

You can feel it, you’re trembling

언제까지 눈치만 볼 거니

How long are you going to keep hesitating?

네 맘을 말해봐 딴청 피우지 말란 말이야

Tell me how you feel, I’m not joking around

네 맘 가는 그대로 지금 내 손을 잡아

Just go with how you feel, hold my hand right now

그냥 내 손을 잡아 지금 내 손을 잡아

Just hold my hand, right now

...
