[English]

I've been waiting for you

At sunshine comedy club

Getting ready to laugh, following the long line

Oh, I've fallen in love with you

I know I'm a fool for you

Midday neon signs

Sunshine comedy club!

Laaa, laa, lalala, lala-a

Laaa, laa, lalala, lala-a

On the way back, I asked you

I laughed because you were funny

But I wonder why everyone was laughing so much

Oh,

I'm falling in love with you

I know I'm a fool for you

Midday neon signs

Sunshine comedy club!

Laaa, laa, lalala, lala-a

Laaa, laa, lalala, lala-a

If I were to say it with this light

It's an eco-friendly neon sign

Powered by the midday sun

You see

Laughter should be clear and pure, right?

You know, so don't mix anything in here

Yeah~~~~~

Yeah~~~~~

[Korean]

널 기다린 걸

At sunshine comedy club

길게 늘어선 줄 따라 웃을 준비를 하면서

Oh, I've fallen in love with you

I know I'm fool of you

한 낮의 네온사인

썬샤인코메디클럽!

라아아아 라아 랄라라 랄라아

라아아아 라아 랄라라 랄라아

돌아오는 길에 난 네게 물어봤지

널 따라 웃긴 했는데

다들 왜 그리 웃었던 건지

Oh,

I'm falling love with you (사랑에 빠졌지)

I know I'm fool of you (난 너의 바보야)

한 낮의 네온사인

썬샤인코메디클럽!

라아아아 라아 랄라라 랄라아

라아아아 라아 랄라라 랄라아

이 불빛으로 말 할 거 같으면

친환경 네온 사인

한낮의 태양열로

작동하는 거라구요

웃음이란 자고로 티끌 없이 맑아야 해요

알겠죠 잘 그러니까 여기엔 무엇도 섞지 말아요

야~~~~~

예~~~~~

Key Grammar Structures

• 널 기다린 걸

  ➔ Past tense + object particle + verb ending indicating recollection/discovery

  ➔ The sentence uses the past tense verb '기다리다' (to wait) with the particle 'ㄹ 걸' which indicates the speaker *realized* they had been waiting. It's not just a statement of past action, but a realization about it. The '널' is a contraction of '너를' meaning 'you' (object particle).

• 길게 늘어선 줄 따라

  ➔ Adverb + past participle modifying a noun + noun + particle indicating following/along with

  ➔ The phrase describes following a line. '길게 늘어선' (longly lined up) is a past participle phrase modifying '줄' (line). '따라' means 'following' or 'along with'. The adverb '길게' modifies the past participle.

• I know I'm fool of you

  ➔ Subject + verb 'to be' + adjective + preposition 'of' + object

  ➔ This is a direct English phrase used within the Korean song. It's a slightly unusual phrasing; 'I'm a fool *for* you' is more common. 'Fool of you' implies being made a fool *by* someone.

• 웃음이란 자고로 티끌 없이 맑아야 해요

  ➔ Noun + topic marker + adverb + adjective + auxiliary verb + declarative ending

  ➔ This sentence expresses an opinion about laughter. '자고로' is an adverb meaning 'generally' or 'as a rule'. '티끌 없이' means 'without a speck of dust' (purely). '맑아야 해요' means 'should be clear'. The '란' particle marks '웃음' (laughter) as the topic.
