[Chorus: Riwoo]
When I was younger, I was foolish
금메달이 쉬워 보였던 어린 아이
못난 꼬라지 싸가지, two-oh, 나인 덤
서른의 난 그땐
Oh, 웃고 있을지
[Verse 1: Taesan]
Ready to be twenty? I don't think so
But 스물은 보낸 지 오래고
내 동갑내기 친구들은
대학, 재수, 취업 얘기들로만 가득하고
어릴 적 내겐 컸던 놀이터
돌아보면 별것도 아니고
어머니 그 흔한 잔소리도
그리워져 가
[Pre-Chorus: Woonhak]
Ah, 나는 아픈데 괴롭기만 한데
다들 왜 제일 좋을 때라는지
쌀알만 하던 내가 겨우
달걀만 해진 것 뿐인데, oh
[Chorus: Sungho]
When I was younger, I was foolish
금메달이 쉬워 보였던 어린 아이
못난 꼬라지 싸가지, two-oh, 나인 덤
서른의 난 그땐
Oh, 웃고 있을지
사는 게 거기서 거기 모두 다 똑같지 뭐
나이도 어린 놈이 알긴 대체 뭘 안다고
누군 클 만큼 컸대
누군 내 나이가 너무 부럽대
꿈만 꾸기 바빴던 초등학교
이리저리 치이다 갔던 고등학교
이제 막 접어든 나의 스무살도
청춘이라 투덜대
[Pre-Chorus: Riwoo]
Ah, 나는 아픈데 괴롭기만 한데
다들 왜 제일 좋을 때라는지
쌀알만 하던 내가 겨우
달걀만 해진 것 뿐인데, oh
[Chorus: Leehan]
When I was younger, I was foolish
금메달이 쉬워 보였던 어린 아이
못난 꼬라지 싸가지, two-oh, 나인 덤
서른의 난 그땐
Oh, 웃고 있을지
[Outro: Taesan, Sungho, Riwoo]
My youth is free, 어쩌라구요
My youth is free, 어쩌겠어요
정답은 들리지 않아
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ugly twenty (Yeah, yeah, hey)
싸가지 twenty (Yeah, yeah, ayy)
Glory twenty (Yeah, yeah, hey)
Da-da, da-da-da, ayy

IIIII. English
[Chorus: Riwoo]
When I was younger, I was foolish
The kid who thought a gold medal was easy
A poor little brat, 2-0, I'm a dummy
When I'm 30, will I
Oh, be smiling then?
[Verse 1: Taesan]
Ready to be twenty? I don't think so
But it's been a while since I turned 20
My friends of the same age
Are all filled with talks of college, retaking exams, and jobs
The playground that felt so big when I was a kid
Looking back, it's no big deal
Even my mom's usual nagging
I'm starting to miss it
[Pre-Chorus: Woonhak]
Ah, I'm in pain, it's just tough
Why does everyone say this is the best time?
I was just as small as a grain of rice
Now I've barely grown to the size of an еgg, oh
[Chorus: Sungho]
When I was younger, I was foolish
The kid who thought a gold mеdal was easy
A poor little brat, 2-0, I'm a dummy
When I'm 30, will I
Oh, be smiling then?
[Verse 2: Myung Jaehyun]
Life is the same wherever you go, everyone is the same
What could a young kid like me possibly know?
Some say they've grown enough
Some envy my age so much
Busy dreaming back in elementary school
Pushed around here and there during high school
Now, having just turned twenty
I complain about my youth
[Pre-Chorus: Riwoo]
Ah, I'm in pain, it's just tough
Why does everyone say this is the best time?
I was just as small as a grain of rice
Now I've barely grown to the size of an egg, oh
[Chorus: Leehan]
When I was younger, I was foolish
The kid who thought a gold medal was easy
A poor little brat, 2-0, I'm a dummy
When I'm 30, will I
Oh, be smiling then?
[Outro: Taesan, Sungho, Riwoo]
My youth is free, so what?
My youth is free, what can I do?
The answer isn't clear
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ugly twenty (Yeah, yeah, hey)
Rude twenty (Yeah, yeah, ayy)
Glory twenty (Yeah, yeah, hey)
Da-da, da-da-da, ayy
