Lyrics & Translation

[Korean]

[English]

울지 마 울지 마

Don't cry, don't cry

어린아이 같이 (la-la-la, ooh, la-la-la)

Like a little kid (la-la-la, ooh, la-la-la)

웃는 게 웃는 게

Smiling is winning, winning

이기는 거라고 (yeah, yeah)

That's what smiling is for (yeah, yeah)

You're so cute, you're so dumb

You're so cute, you're so dumb

네가 하는 말이 (la-la-la, ooh, la-la-la)

What you're saying (la-la-la, ooh, la-la-la)

오늘따라 듣기 싫어

Today, I really don't want to hear it

하늘을 한번 쳐다보고

Just look up at the sky

내가 꾹 참고 맘을 다잡고

Holding back, staying strong in my heart

네게 밝게 웃어줄게

I'll smile brightly for you

And I say "hey"

And I say "hey"

I'm gonna make it smile, smile, smile away

I'll make it smile, smile, smile go away

예쁘게 웃고 넘겨버릴래

Smile beautifully and let it go

Just smile away, just smile away

Just smile away, just smile away

아픔 슬픔 외로움 잊게

Forgetting pain, sorrow, loneliness

I say "hey"

I say "hey"

I never wanna cry, cry, cry all day

I never want to cry, cry, cry all day

갑자기 눈물이 차오를 땐

When tears suddenly start to flow

Just smile away, just smile away

Just smile away, just smile away

안녕이라 말할래 with my smiley face

Say goodbye with my smiley face

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Let's go!)

(Let's go!)

비웃을 때 빼고 내 입꼬리는 chillin'

Except when you mock me, my lips are chillin'

나빠야지 살아남지 넌 뭐해

You have to survive by being tough. What are you doing?

귀엽고 예쁘면 장땡이냐 근데

Is being cute and pretty everything? But

널 보고 있으니까 기분이가 좋네

Seeing you makes me feel good

삐뚤어진 성격 모두 나를 겁내

All your twisted personality makes me afraid

아주 그냥 확 너는 왜 계속 웃어?

Why do you keep smiling like that?

당황하는 틈을 타 날 무장해제

Seizing the chance when you're flustered to disarm me

친구가 될 수 있을까 우리 둘이

Could we become friends, just the two of us?

내가 꾹 참고 맘을 다잡고

Holding back, staying strong in my heart

네게 밝게 웃어줄게

I'll smile brightly for you

And I say "hey"

And I say "hey"

I'm gonna make it smile, smile, smile away

I'll make it smile, smile, smile go away

예쁘게 웃고 넘겨버릴래

Smile beautifully and let it go (let it go)

Just smile away, just smile away

Just smile away, just smile away

아픔 슬픔 외로움 잊게

Forget pain, sorrow, loneliness

I say "hey"

I say "hey" (I say "hey")

I never wanna cry, cry, cry all day

I never want to cry, cry, cry all day

갑자기 눈물이 차오를 땐

When tears suddenly start to flow

Just smile away, just smile away

Just smile away, just smile away

안녕이라 말할래 with my smiley face

Say goodbye with my smiley face

사실 나의 맘속은 그게 아닌데

Actually, inside my heart that's not how I feel

웃어 넘기기에 난 너무 행복해

But I’m so happy to just brush it off

세상 환히 웃고 있는 내게

To my bright smile that lights up the world

미친 세상은 날 미쳤다 하겠지

The crazy world would say I’ve gone mad

I don't care, I don't care what you saying

I don't care, I don't care what you say

한 번 사는 내 삶 I smile it

This is my one life, I smile it out

Even it's lonely and dark

Even if it's lonely and dark

Yeah, I

Yeah, I

And I say "hеy" (yeah, yeah)

And I say "hey" (yeah, yeah)

I'm gonna make it smilе, smile, smile away

I'm gonna make it smile, smile, smile go away

예쁘게 웃고 넘겨버릴래 (버릴래)

Smile beautifully and let it go (let it go)

Just smile away, just smile away

Just smile away, just smile away

아픔 슬픔 외로움 잊게 (잊게)

Forget pain, sorrow, loneliness (forget)

I say "hey" (I say "hey")

I say "hey" (I say "hey")

I never wanna cry, cry, cry all day

I never want to cry, cry, cry all day

갑자기 눈물이 차오를 땐

When tears suddenly start to flow

Just smile away, just smile away

Just smile away, just smile away

안녕이라 말할래 with my smiley face

Say goodbye with my smiley face
