Modern Times is the fifth track of IU's third L.P of the same name.
[Verse 1]
유쾌한 걸음 새까만 콧수염
Yukwaehan georeum saekkaman kossuyeom
A pleasant walk, a black mustache
어딜 바삐 가나, 또 뭔 일이
Eodil bappi gana, tto mwon iri
Where are you busily headed, what are you up to?
시계토끼처럼 늘 급한 얼굴로
Sigyetokkicheoreom neul geuphan eolgullo
Like the White Rabbit, you always have a rushed face
나를 지나쳐 가요
Nareul jinachyeo gayo
As you pass me by
[Pre-Chorus]
난 그댈 알아 그댄 날 몰라
Nan geudael ara geudaen nal molla
I know you but you don't know me
늘 같은 시간 우린 같은 길을 걷는데
Neul gateun sigan urin gateun gireul geotneunde
We always walk the same path at the same time
시간 좀 내요 얘기 좀 해요
Sigan jom naeyo yaegi jom haeyo
Make some time, talk to me
[Chorus]
한 마디 없이 꼭 다문 입술
Han madi eobsi kkok damun ipsul
Your lips are shut tight without a word
나 그 목소리를 꼭 들을래요
Na geu moksorireul kkok deureullaeyo
I really want to hear your voice
다음에 보면 꼭 인사해요
Daeume bomyeon kkok insahaeyo
When you see me next time, say hello
또 봐요 미스터 채플린
Tto bwayo miseuteo chaepeullin
I'll see you again, Mr. Chaplin
[Verse 2]
바람에 날린 동그란 저 모자
Barame nallin donggeuran jeo moja
Your round hat that flies in the wind
달리기를 하나, 왜 서둘러
Dalligireul hana, wae seodulleo
Are you in a race? Why the rush?
시계톱니처럼 똑같은 모퉁일
Sigyetomnicheoreom ttokgateun motungil
Like the gears in a clock
돌아돌아 뛰네요
Doradora ttwineyo
You run around the same corners, around and around
[Pre-Chorus]
어디서 와서 어디로 갈까
Eodiseo waseo eodiro galkka
Where are you coming from, where are you going?
말고도 궁금한 게 이렇게 난 많은데
Malgodo gunggeumhan ge ireoke nan manheunde
Besides that, I have so many things I'm curious about
잠시만 서서 얘기 좀 해요
Jamsiman seoseo yaegi jom haeyo
Stop for a moment and talk to me
[Chorus]
한 마디 없이 꼭 다문 입술
Han madi eobsi kkok damun ipsul
Your lips are shut tight without a word
나 그 목소리를 꼭 들을래요
Na geu moksorireul kkok deureullaeyo
I really want to hear your voice
다음에 보면 꼭 인사해요
Daeume bomyeon kkok insahaeyo
When you see me next time, say hello
또 봐요 미스터 채플린
Tto bwayo miseuteo chaepeullin
I'll see you again, Mr. Chaplin
[Bridge]
어두운 얼굴 무슨 일이 있나요
Eoduun eolgul museun iri innayo
Your face looks dark, did something happen?
말 건네면 대답할까요
Mal geonnemyeon daedaphalkkayo
Will you answer if I say something?
나는 알아요 슬픈 그댈
Naneun arayo seulpeun geudael
I know that you are sad
온 세상 사람들 그대를 보면서
On sesang saramdeul geudaereul bomyeonseo
Even if the whole world looks at you
웃어도
Useodo
And smiles
[Pre-Chorus]
못 살게 구는 사람들 없는
Mot salge guneun saramdeul eomneun
I want to believe that you left
먼 길을 떠났다고 난 믿을래요
Meon gireul tteonatdago nan mideullaeyo
For a faraway place where no one bothers you
이젠 웃어요 다 괜찮아요
Ijen useoyo da gwaenchanhayo
You can smile now, everything is okay
또 봐요 미스터 채플린
Tto bwayo miseuteo chaepeullin
I'll see you again, Mr. Chaplin
[Chorus]
그대가 부른 즐거운 넌센스
Geudaega bureun jeulgeoun neonsenseu
The merry nonsense that you sang of
나 슬픈 날엔 꼭 그 노랠 해요
Na seulpeun naren kkok geu norael haeyo
I will sing that song on days I am sad
언젠가 보면 꼭 인사해요
Eonjenga bomyeon kkok insahaeyo
If we see each other some day, say hello
또 봐요 미스터 채플린
Tto bwayo miseuteo chaepeullin
I'll see you again, Mr. Chaplin
꼭 봐요 미스터 채플린
Kkok bwayo miseuteo chaepeullin
I'll definitely see you again, Mr. Chaplin
그 이름도 내겐 사랑스런 채플린
Geu ireumdo naegen sarangseureon chaepeullin
Even that name is lovable to me, Chaplin
