Lyrics:

[한국어]

[English]

두 눈이 풀로 딱 붙어서 떨어지지가 않고 (앞이 안 보여)

My eyes are glued shut, won't come apart (I can't see ahead)

함부로 움직였다간 몸이 (빠그닥), 헛 차 (no)

If I move recklessly, my body will (snap), false start (no)

풍문으로만 들어봤던 미라클 모닝 대체 어떻게 하는 건데?

I've only heard rumors of the miracle morning, how do you even do it?

아침 댓바람부터 비가 내려도

Even if it rains first thing in the morning

Bye, bye 이불아 금방 돌아올게

Bye, bye blanket, I'll be right back

이대론 안 되겠어

This won't do

두 눈에 힘 빡 줘, 딱

Put some strength in your eyes, now

이럴 땐 머리 위 천둥번개가 쿠르릉, 쿠르릉

At times like this, thunder and lightning rumble above my head, boom, boom

잠 깨, 누가 이기나 보자

Wake up, let's see who wins

절대 널 용서하지 않아

I'll never forgive you

안 돼, 안개 속인 것 같아도

No, even if it feels like I'm in a fog

Whoo, whoa

Whoo, whoa

참깨, 열려라 눈꺼풀아

Sesame, open, my eyelids

맑게, 시간이 가질 않아

Clearly, time just won't pass

잘게, 제시간 되면 알아서

Finely, I'll take care of it when it's time

어련히 편한 잠옷 빼입고

Of course, I'm changing into comfy pajamas

잠깐, 그냥 밤에 오지 않을래?

Wait, why don't you just come at night?

밤이라면 좋은 친구가 될 수 있었을 텐데

If it were night, we could have been good friends

시간 좀 보고 다녀, 졸음아 (nah) 나 좀 놔둬 (nah)

Watch the time, sleepiness (nah), leave me alone (nah)

소문으론 멜라토닌이라는 이름의 용사님이 있다던데

Rumor has it there's a warrior named Melatonin

아무 소용 없다는 건 나도 알아

I know it's no use

매일매일 시곗바늘만 쫓아다녀

Every day, I'm just chasing the clock hands

이대론 안 되겠어

This won't do

두 눈에 힘 빡 줘, 딱

Put some strength in your eyes, now

이럴 땐 머리 위 천둥번개가 쿠르릉, 쿠르릉

At times like this, thunder and lightning rumble above my head, boom, boom

잠 깨, 누가 이기나 보자

Wake up, let's see who wins

절대 널 용서하지 않아

I'll never forgive you

안 돼, 안개 속인 것 같아도

No, even if it feels like I'm in a fog

Whoo, whoa

Whoo, whoa

참깨, 열려라 눈꺼풀아

Sesame, open, my eyelids

맑게, 시간이 가질 않아

Clearly, time just won't pass

잘게, 제시간 되면 알아서

Finely, I'll take care of it when it's time

어련히 편한 잠옷 빼입고

Of course, I'm changing into comfy pajamas

잠 깨

Wake up

잠 깨, 눈 떠

Wake up, open your eyes

잠깐, 무승부로 하지 않을래?

Wait, why don't we call it a draw?
