Lyrics & Translation

[Korean]

[English]

Perfume ooh

Perfume, ooh

ooh yeah

Ooh yeah

ay 너의 하룰 향기롭게 꾸며 줄게

Hey, I'll make your day fragrant

걸음 끝에 내 이름이 떠오르게

So that my name comes to mind at the end of your walk

네 숨결에 스미고

Seeping into your breath

코 끝에서 맴돌게 해

Making you linger at the scent deep in your nose

네 맘에 각인되게

Leaving a mark on your heart

잔향까지 오래

Long-lasting even in the echoes

달아 널 생각하는 나의 향은

My scent while thinking of you

담아 선명한 내 흔적들을

Capturing vivid traces of myself

손목 위에 난

On my wrist

옷깃 위에 난

On my collar

남겨 두려 해

Trying to leave it behind

나를 잊을 수 없게

So you can't forget me

작은 숨결까지 파고들어 난

Even the smallest breath I take

ay 방안에 공기에도

Hey, even in the air of the room

널 위한 내 맘을 풍겨

My feelings for you are spreading

네 온긴 내 것이 돼

Your aura becomes mine

Every time is paradise yeah

Every time is paradise, yeah

긴 시간이 흘러도

Even after a long time passes

질릴 수가 없으니까

I can't get tired of it

처음 느낀 경험일 걸

It must be the first time I felt this way

솔직해져 baby

Be honest, baby

좋아 내 순간들에 있는 네가

I like you being in my moments

Tonight 빈틈 없이 빠져들어

Tonight, I fall into you completely

손목 위에 난

On my wrist

옷깃 위에 난

On my collar

남겨 두려 해

Trying to leave it behind

나를 잊을 수 없게

So you can't forget me

작은 숨결까지 파고들어 난

Even the smallest breath I take

(baby I’m baby I’m)

(Baby, I’m, baby, I’m)

baby I’m comfortable with you (You know that I’m)

Baby, I’m comfortable with you (You know that I’m)

and you’re comfortable with me (I know that you are)

And you’re comfortable with me (I know that you are)

두 눈을 맞추면 (맞추면)

When we meet eyes (meet eyes)

더 선명해질 테니

It’ll become even clearer

yeah yeah that’s me

Yeah, yeah, that’s me

짙은 농도에 (oh yeah)

In deep concentration (oh yeah)

정신이 혼미해 (Love yeah)

My mind becomes hazy (Love yeah)

uh 호흡마저 향기로워

Uh, even my breath scented

너를 보면 모두가 다 나를 떠올려

When I see you, everything makes me think of you

yeah 한 방울 Drip Drop (Drip Drop)

Yeah, one drop, Drip Drop (Drip Drop)

너의 기억 속에 흔적을 남겨 (남겨)

Leaving a trace in your memory (traces)

시간 지날수록 더 뚜렷해져

Getting more vivid as time passes

네 주위를 맴돌아 24 hour whoa whoa!

Circling around you 24 hours a day, whoa whoa!

Hold tight

Hold tight

서로의 맘을 확인한 밤

The night we confirmed our feelings

oh 난 이미 스며든 것 같아

Oh, I think I’ve already soaked in

이젠 확실히 알아 난 감각이 깨어나

Now I know for sure, my senses are awakened

다시 한 번 깊이 새겨

Deeply inscribing it once again

손목 위에 난

On my wrist

옷깃 위에 난

On my collar

남겨두려 해

Trying to leave it behind

나를 잊을 수 없게

So you can't forget me

모든 순간 속에 파고 들어 난

Getting into every moment
