II. Lyrics
친구들이 내게
chingudeuri naege
My friends keep telling me
니가 나를 좋아하는 것 같대
niga nareul joahaneun geot gatdae
that they think you like me,
나도 왠지 그런
nado waenji geureon
and I was thinking
느낌은 가지고 있었지만
neukkimeun gajigo isseotjiman
somewhat the same thing
혹시 아님 어쩌나
hoksi anim eojjeona
But what if it wasn’t true
괜히 혼자 바보같이
gwaenhi honja babogachi
What if I was the only one
그럼 어쩌나
geureom eojjeona
stupid for thinking that?
그런 걱정에
geureon geokjeonge
With those thoughts in mind
어떻게 해야 할 줄 모르고 있었어
eotteoke haeya hal jul moreugo isseosseo
I wasn’t sure what to do
(너를 볼때마다)
(neoreul bolttaemada)
(Everytime I see you)
니 마음을 읽으려
ni maeumeul ilgeuryeo
I try so hard to
애를 써봐도
aereul sseobwado
to read your mind
(매번 볼때마다)
(maebeon bolttaemada)
(When I keep lookin at you)
난다른 느낌을 받어
nandareun neukkimeul badeo
I get different signals
도무지 모르겠어
domuji moreugesseo
I really just don’t know
나를 좋아하면
nareul joahamyeon
If you like me
어서 말을 걸어
eoseo mareul georeo
then just confront me
왜 이렇게 자꾸
wae ireoke jakku
Why are you making it
내 맘을 애태워
nae mameul aetaewo
so hard on my part?
좋아한다면 제발
joahandamyeon jebal
If you like me
용기를 내줘
yonggireul naejwo
then act brave
나는 기다리는데
naneun gidarineunde
I’m here waiting,
너는 왜 못 오는데
neoneun wae mot oneunde
so why can’t you come?
이바보
ibabo
This fool
언제까지 계속
eonjekkaji gyesok
Til when are you going to
이렇게 날 바라보기만 할래
ireoke nal barabogiman hallae
just look over at me like that?
오 내 눈을 바라봐
o nae nuneul barabwa
Look at my eyes!
나에게 다가 오라고 하잖아
naege daga orago hajana
They’e telling you to come forward
계속 망설아다간
gyesok mangseoradagan
While you’re still stalling,
다른 용기있는
dareun yonggiinneun
if someone else brings up
얘가 먼저 다가와
yaega meonjeo dagawa
their courage and takes me,
나를 데기고 나면
nareul degigo namyeon
then how regretful
얼마나 후회 하려고 그래
eolmana huhwe haryeogo geurae
do you want to be?
(너를 볼때마다)
(neoreul bulttaemada)
(Everytime I see you)
내 마음을 보이려
nae maeumeul boiryeo
I try so hard
애를 써봐도
aereul sseobwado
to show you what I feel
(매번 볼때마다)
(maebeon bolttaemada)
(When I keep looking at you)
넌 왜 내 맘을 모르니
neon wae nae mameul moreuni
How come you don’t know how I feel?
아직도 모르겟니
ajikdo moreugenni
Don’t you have any clue?
나를 좋아하면
