[English]

It will probably be something like this

PINKY UP, UP PINKY UP, UP

PINKY UP, UP PINKY UP, UP PINKY UP

Someday the world will come to an end

I’ll kiss the friends I just made

I want to live loudly until everything burns up

UP, UP PINKY UP

Boldly, like we’re about to loot the Louvre

We’re like a cute Mona Lisa with attitude

I want to get completely drunk before we’re buried underground

Ooooh

We scream on top of the clouds

No one can dare to reach us

Ooooh, but it’s just a mindset

It will probably be something like this

PINKY UP, UP PINKY UP, UP

PINKY UP, UP PINKY UP, UP

Defying the world, we shake our hips in the parking lot

If we get arrested, we’ll just laugh it off

I love you, you love me – we’re completely crazy, yeah yeah

If it gets that deep, I’ll kill anyone for you

Splendor is like a wave

Almost a delusion

The spirit of philosophy

I know nothing, yet I feel like Socrates

'True wisdom lies in knowing that you know nothing'

Ooooh, we scream on top of the clouds

No one can dare to touch us

Ooooh, but it’s just a state of mind

It will probably be something like this

PINKY UP, UP PINKY UP, UP PINKY UP, UP PINKY

PINKY UP, UP PINKY UP, UP

PINKY UP, UP PINKY UP, UP PINKY

[Korean]

아마 이런 식이겠지

PINKY UP, UP PINKY UP, UP

PINKY UP, UP PINKY UP, UP PINKY UP

언젠가 세상은 끝이 날 거고

난 새로 사귄 친구들과 입맞출거야

모든 게 불타 버릴때까지 크게 살고 싶어

UP, UP PINKY UP

루브르를 털러 가는 듯 과감하게

우리는 귀여운 애티튜드의 모나리자 같이

난 우리가 땅속에 묻히기 전까지 한껏 취하고 싶어

Ooooh

우린 구름 위에서 소리 질러

그 누구도 감히 닿을 수 없어

Ooooh, 하지만 이건 마음가짐일 뿐

아마 이런 식이겠지

PINKY UP, UP PINKY UP, UP

PINKY UP, UP PINKY UP, UP

세상에 맞서 우린 주차장에서 엉덩이를 흔들어

만약 체포된다면 그냥 웃어넘겨

난 너를 사랑해 넌 날 사랑해 우린 완전히 미쳐있고, 그래 그래

그만큼 깊어진다면 너를 위해 다 죽여 줄게

화려함은 파동 같은 것

망상에 가까운

철학의 정신

나는 아무것도 모르지만, 마치 소크라테스처럼

'진정한 지혜는 아무것도 모른다는 걸 아는 데 있다'

Ooooh, 우린 구름 위에서 소리 질러

그 누구도 감히 닿을 수 없어

Ooooh, 하지만 이건 마음가짐일 뿐

아마 이런 식이겠지

PINKY UP, UP PINKY UP, UP PINKY UP, UP PINKY

PINKY UP, UP PINKY UP, UP

PINKY UP, UP PINKY UP, UP PINKY

Key Grammar Structures

• 아마 이런 식이겠지

  ➔ Probabilistic/Speculative Sentence Ending

  ➔ The particle '-겠지' attached to the verb stem indicates a speaker's assumption or prediction about how things will be. It's a common way to express 'I guess it will be like this'. The verb '이렇다' (to be like this) is used.

• 루브르를 털러 가는 듯 과감하게

  ➔ Adverbial Clause + Adverb

  ➔ The phrase uses an adverbial clause ('루브르를 털러 가는 듯' - 'as if going to rob the Louvre') modifying the adverb '과감하게' ('boldly'). The '-듯' ending indicates a simile or comparison.

• 난 우리가 땅속에 묻히기 전까지 한껏 취하고 싶어

  ➔ Conditional Clause + Desire Expression

  ➔ This sentence features a conditional clause ('땅속에 묻히기 전까지' - 'until we are buried underground') setting the time limit for the desire expressed by '한껏 취하고 싶어' ('I want to get completely drunk'). The '-기 전까지' structure indicates 'until doing something'.

• 우린 구름 위에서 소리 질러

  ➔ Verb + Location + Action

  ➔ A simple sentence structure showing action ('소리 질러' - 'shout') performed by the subject ('우린' - 'we') in a specific location ('구름 위에서' - 'on the clouds'). The '-에서' particle indicates location.

• 하지만 이건 마음가짐일 뿐

  ➔ Conjunction + Pronoun + Noun + Copula + Noun

  ➔ The sentence uses the conjunction '하지만' ('but') to contrast with a previous statement. '이건' ('this') refers to the previous idea, and '마음가짐일 뿐' ('is just a mindset') emphasizes that it's a matter of perspective. The copula '이다' is omitted but understood.
