  • 25599-713cacnunpl-ac-sx466-jpg


    I. Introduction

    "Baby Don't Stop" is the third song on NCT's first full Korean studio album, Empathy. The album was released on March 14, 2018, while this song was pre-released as a single on February 26.


    This album was the first all-unit album, featuring all members from all the units at the time. This included 18 members from the three units, NCT U, NCT 127 and NCT Dream. (WayV would be added the year after this release.) The Empathy project also officially introduced members Kun, Jungwoo, and Lucas.


    Several of the songs on the album were previously released through 2016-18. This song was pre-released ahead of the album.


    This song is by NCT U and is in Korean and English. NCT U is a rotational unit where specific members are selected to match the song. This song features these members: Taeyong, one of the main rappers of NCT 127, and Ten, one of the main vocalists of WayV. These are two of the best dancers in NCT and this is a performance-focused song.


    In Verse 2, Taeyong is naming sculptors (Rodin and Claudel) and describing the sculpture process, which ties to the words in the verse about "kneading" your body. Taeyong is also one of the co-writers of this song.

    (Korean - Romanized - English - Spanish. Italics represent English in the original lyrics.)


    [Verse 1: Ten]

    너를 처음 본 이후 모든 사소한 이유는 필요없어진 feeling

    Noreul choeum bon ihu modeun sasohan iyuneun piryoopssojin feeling

    Since I first saw you, all the trivial reasons are unnecessary feelings


    초의 백분위까지 느껴지는 magic 섬세한 one minute

    Choe baekppunwikkaji neukkyojineun magic somsehan one minute

    I can feel the magic, delicate one minute


    내 모든 신경이 전부 곤두서 너를 알기를 원해

    Nae modeun singyongi jonbu gonduso noreul algireul wonhae

    All my nerves are on edge and I want to know you


    낯설고 미묘한 작은 떨림마저 전부 다 전해지네

    Natssolgo mimyohan jageun ttolrimmajo jonbu da jonhaejine

    I can feel all the strange and subtle little tremors


    [Chorus: Taeyong, Ten]

    Stop, baby, don't stop


    멈추지마, baby, don't stop

    Momchujima, baby, don't stop (No)

    Don't stop, baby, don't stop (No)


    나만 알아볼 특별한 그 sign (Cool)

    Naman arabol teukppyolhan geu sign (Cool)

    I'm the only one who can recognize this special sign (Cool)


    둘뿐인 지금, baby, don't stop

    Dulppunin jigeum, baby, don't stop

    Right now, just the two of us, baby, don't stop

    Stop, baby, don't stop (Don't stop)


    둘만 아는 은밀한 sign (Baby, don't stop, no)

    Dulman aneun eunmilhan sign (Baby, don't stop, no)

    A secret sign only the two of us know (Baby, don't stop, no)

    하나하나 다 완벽한 그 sign (Cool)

    Hanahana da wanbyokan geu sign (Cool)

    Each and everyone of the signs are perfect (Cool)


    아름다워 so baby don't stop (Baby, don't stop)

    Areumdawo so baby don't stop (Baby, don't stop)

    So beautiful, so baby don't stop (Baby, don't stop)


    [Verse 2: Taeyong, Ten]

    Yeah, play, play, play, play, play, I'll play in the Paris

    Stay, clay, sketch, dirt, dough, I'm gonna knead your body

    Rothko, Auguste Rodin, Claudel


    따뜻한 색감의 너를 빚을 거야

    Ttatteutan saekkkame noreul bijeul goya

    I'm going to make you with warm colors


    All day holding, 꽉잡아줘 나를 (All day)

    All day holding, kkwakjjabajwo nareul (All day)

    All day holding, holding me tight (All day)


    Baby, don't stop

    Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on

    Baby, don't stop


    여부도 없이 시들던 꽃도 되살리는 불씨가 너라

    Yobudo opssi sideuldon kkottto dwesalrineun bulssiga nora

    You're the spark that brings back the withered flowers.


    감각에 몸을 맡겨 번져가는 눈빛에 의지해, come to me

    Gamgage momeul matkkyo bonjoganeun nunppiche uijihae, come to me

    Leave your body to your senses and rely on your eyes spreading over me, come to me


    처음 본 우리둘사이에 높아져만가는 긴장감

    Choeum bon uridulsaie nopajomanganeun ginjanggam

    The tension is rising between the two of us.


    I feel so right, 아득한만큼 더욱 달콤한

    I feel so right, adeukanmankeum douk dalkomhan

    I feel so right, as far as it's far away, it's sweeter


    [Chorus: Taeyong, Ten]
