[English]

You say you're tired on the weekend

You postponed your plans today

Even though I'm a little angry

It's cute, so I held back

It's always like this (what?)

What is it? Think about it (what could it be?)

Are we playing 20 Questions? Seriously?

One turn beyond, two turns beyond, three

Past your turn, ten turns, twenty—ding

I sigh, I sigh

Shall we talk about the time for a moment?

I feel we need to talk

Why are you just staying silent?

Airplane time—say something

Why are you only pleading to me?

Are you being proud right now?

If I get sulky, huh huh huh

How many times a day do I get upset?

Me too, huh huh huh

This time I can't lose either

Tears… (crying sounds)

You don't know my twisted heart

…

Listen to what I have to say

We don't understand each other, floating question marks

Your beautiful smile from a few days ago

I want to see you today, tomorrow, and the day after

My heart keeps looping

Teetering on the edge, like a limbo, almost touching

Should I touch it? I'm scared, my sulky mood

Turn left, turn right

I'm avoiding it, umm umm

One turn beyond, two turns beyond, three

Past your turn, ten turns, twenty—ding

A sigh escapes me, a sigh escapes me

Shall we talk about the time for a moment?

I feel we need a conversation

Why are you just staying quiet?

Airplane time—say something

Why are you only pleading to me?

Are you being prideful right now?

If I get sulky, huh huh huh

How many times a day do I get sulky?

Me too, huh huh huh

This time I can't lose either

Tears… (crying sounds)

You don't know my twisted heart

…

Listen to what I have to say

[Korean]

주말에 피곤하다면서

넌 오늘 약속을 미뤘어

조금은 화가 났지만서도

귀여워 내가 참았어

항상 이런 식이야 (뭐가)

뭐긴 잘 생각해 봐 (뭘까)

스무고개 하잔 거야 뭐야 정말로

한 고개 너머 두 고개 너머 셋

네 고개 지나 열 고개 스물 땡

한숨이 나와 한숨이 나와

잠깐 타임 얘기 좀 해볼까

대화가 필요한 것 같은데

조용하기만 해 왜?

비행기 타임 무슨 말 좀 해봐

왜 내게만 보채

지금 자존심 부리니

삐지면 흥흥흥 흥흥흥

하루에 대체 몇 번 삐져?

나도야 흥흥흥 흥흥흥

이번엔 나도 질 수 없어

눈물이 ㅠㅠㅠ ㅠㅠㅠ

토라진 내 맘도 몰라

… …

내 말 좀 들어봐

서로가 서로를 몰라 띄워 물음표

며칠 전 봤던 예쁜 너의 웃음꽃

보고파 난 오늘도 내일도 모레도

내 맘은 도돌이표

아슬아슬 닿을 듯 말 듯 해 림보

건드릴까 무서워 뾰루퉁 심보

Turn left, Turn right

피하고 있는 중 umm umm

한 고개 너머 두 고개 너머 셋

네 고개 지나 열 고개 스물 땡

한숨이 나와 한숨이 나와

잠깐 타임 얘기 좀 해볼까

대화가 필요한 것 같은데

조용하기만 해 왜?

비행기 타임 무슨 말 좀 해봐

왜 내게만 보채

지금 자존심 부리니

삐지면 흥흥흥 흥흥흥

하루에 대체 몇 번 삐져?

나도야 흥흥흥 흥흥흥

이번엔 나도 질 수 없어

눈물이 ㅠㅠㅠ ㅠㅠㅠ

토라진 내 맘도 몰라

… …

내 말 좀 들어봐

• 한숨이 나와 한숨이 나와

  ➔ Repetition for emphasis

  ➔ Repeating '한숨이 나와' (hansumi nawa - a sigh comes out) emphasizes the speaker's frustration and exasperation. It's a common stylistic device in Korean to heighten emotional impact.

• 삐지면 흥흥흥 흥흥흥

  ➔ `-면` (if/when) + Onomatopoeia

• 내 말 좀 들어봐
