II. Lyrics
We back back back
I’m back back back
Back엔 빽 Back엔 빽
Backen ppaek Backen ppaek
Backs on back, Backs on back
등 뒤에 가득 빽을 지고 We are back
deung dwie gadeuk ppaegeul jigo We are back
We have our backups behind us and we are back
We Back Back Back
I’m Back Back Back
B A C K back we back
이제 우리 돌아왔으니 go back go pack
ije uri dorawasseuni go back go pack
We’re back now so go back go pack
2015년 and I’m 24,
2015nyeon and I'm 24,
It’s 2015 and I’m 24,
꽃으로 치면 난 rising flower
kkocheuro chimyeon nan rising flower
as a flower, I’m a rising flower
난 혜림 a Wonder Girl that’s me
nan hyerim a Wonder Girl that's me
I’m Hyelim, a Wonder Girl that’s me
그 동안 missed me or dissed me?
geu dongan missed me or dissed me?
Have you missed me or dissed me?
말 안 들으면 No kissy
mal an deureumyeon No kissy
If you don’t listen, no kissy
그 동안 우리가 없어 심심했지?
geu dongan uriga eopseo simsimhaetji?
Weren’t you bored because we weren’t here?
허전했던 무대
heojeonhaetdeon mudae
The stage looked empty
신난다고 날뛰는 애들 반면에
sinnandago nalttwineun aedeul banmyeone
As opposed to all the kids jumping around here,
우린 우리만의 군대 (충성)
urin urimane gundae (chungseong)
we have our own army (loyalty)
보이지 않는다고 어딘지 모른다고
boiji anneundago eodinji moreundago
People said they didn’t know where we were
막말하며 잘난 척 하지
makmalhamyeo jalnan cheok haji
cuz they couldn’t see us
그만 좀 착각해
geuman jom chakgakhae
They think they’re all that but you’re mistaken
말은 핵이 될 수 있는 무서운 무기
mareun haegi dwil su inneun museoun mugi
Words are a scary weapon,
그러니 제발 좀 작작해
geureoni jebal jom jakjakhae
they can become a bomb so please stop
나보고 아이돌?
nabogo aidol?
Calling me an idol?
아니 저기 있잖아 거기 있잖아 나는 있잖아
ani jeogi itjana geogi itjana naneun itjana
But hey, look
I’m no 아이 and I’m not a doll
I'm not ai, and I'm not a doll
I’m no kid, and I’m not a doll
내 반도 아냐 절반도 아냐
nae bando anya jeolbando anya
You’re not even half of me
We back back back
I’m back back back
Back엔 빽 Back엔 빽
Backen ppaek Backen ppaek
Backs on back, Backs on back
등 뒤에 가득 빽을 지고 We are back
deung dwie gadeuk ppaegeul jigo We are back
We have our backups behind us and we are back
We back back back
I’m back back back
B A C K back we back
이제 우리 돌아왔으니 go back go pack
ije uri dorawasseuni go back go pack
We’re back now so go back go pack
Yeah ma back 있어 빽 but not a bag
Yeah ma back isseo ppaek but not a bag
Yeah ma back, I got my backups but not a bag
내 자신이란 Self Pack (나야)
nae jasiniran Self Pack (naya)
It’s my own self, my self pack (it’s me)
인맥 친해 뒤 봐주는
inmaek chinhae dwi bwajuneun
It’s not the kind of backup where people go easy on me
그런 빽 (Nope)
geureon ppaek (Nope)
cuz I know them (nope)
지탱해 줄 증명해 줄 이런 Tag (Yup)
jitaenghae jul jeungmyeonghae jul ireon Tag (Yup)
They support me and prove that I’m real like a tag (yup)
쌓이고 쌓인 필모 넘치는 트로피
ssaigo ssain pilmo neomchineun teuropi
My stacked up filmography, overflowing trophies
한 장이면 메인 돼 인스타 Selfie
han jangimyeon mein dwae inseuta Selfie
Just one picture and I’m in the headlines, insta selfie
이 정도론 부족해 내 욕구를 채우기
i jeongdoron bujokhae nae yokgureul chaeugi
This isn’t enough so in order to fill my desires
위해 I’m back so 준비해 니 백기
wihae I'm back so junbihae ni baekgi
I’m back so prepare your white flag
Real 빽 나이 안 맞는 큰 경험
Real ppaek nai an manneun keun gyeongheom
Real back, a big experience, not fit for my age
안주 안 해 도전해 더 큰 모험
anju an hae dojeonhae deo keun moheom
No peace, I’ll go for the challenge, for a bigger adventure
실패해도 괜찮은 JYP란 보험
silpaehaedo gwaenchaneun JYPran boheom
It’s alright if I fail, I have my JYP insurance
한번 들어 내 충곤 아주 명험
hanbeon deureo nae chunggon aju myeongheom
Listen to me, my advice is good
니네 집 모셔둔 비싼 빽은 못돼
nine jip mosyeodun bissan ppaegeun motdwae
Your expensive bags at home are no good
돈 주곤 못 사 뒷 받쳐줄 니 빽
don jugon mot sa dwit batchyeojul ni ppaek
You can’t buy your backups with money
Bring it on 값 쳐봐 견적 내줄게
Bring it on gap chyeobwa gyeonjeok naejulge
Bring it on, give me a price, I’ll give you an estimate
아니꼬움 다 물어 답해줄게
anikkoum da mureo daphaejulge
If you don’t like it, ask me, I’ll give you an answer
We back back back
I’m back back back
Back엔 빽 Back엔 빽
Backen ppaek Backen ppaek
Backs on back, Backs on back
등 뒤에 가득 빽을 지고 We are back
deung dwie gadeuk ppaegeul jigo We are back
We have our backups behind us, and we are back
We back back back
I’m back back back
B A C K back we back
이제 우리 돌아왔으니 go back go pack
ije uri dorawasseuni go back go pack
We’re back now so go back go pack
많은 생각들로 내 입 속은 지독하게
maneun saenggakdeullo nae ip sogeun jidokhage
The many thoughts cruelly wear out my lips,
헐어버려 마음은 얼어버려
heoreobeoryeo maeumeun eoreobeoryeo
my heart freezes
Today’s a new day 날 짓눌러도
Today's a new day nal jinnulleodo
Today’s a new day, even if you step on me,
I’m still ok (Ha Ha Ha)
I got my back 시무룩한 Look 갖은
I got my back simurukhan Look gajeun
I got my back, the haters have a sad look,
Haters watch your back
누가 뭐래도 그래도 나는 나
nuga mworaedo geuraedo naneun na
No matter what anyone says, I am myself,
내가 나를 지켜 누가 나를 지켜
naega nareul jikyeo nuga nareul jikyeo
I protect myself, who else will?
3년 동안 이어진 끝없는
3nyeon dongan ieojin kkeuteomneun
For three years, there was an endless,
암흑 같은 공백
amheuk gateun gongbaek
dark break
다들 물어봐 하긴 하는 거냐 컴백
dadeul mureobwa hagin haneun geonya keombaek
Everyone asks, are you even gonna have a comeback?
고인 됐다 말해? 절이라도 해
goin dwaetda malhae? jeorirado hae
Should I tell em that I’m dead? So they’ll bow down to me
우린 거인 됐지 너 밟힘 어쩔래
urin geoin dwaetji neo balbhim eojjeollae
But we’ve become giants, what’re you gonna do if you get stepped on?
지겹다 지겨워 귀 딱지 앉겠어
jigyeopda jigyeowo gwi ttakji angesseo
I’m sick of it. My ears are about to scar
잘 익은 과일 파리 꼬여 탓 않겠어
jal igeun gwail pari kkoyeo tat angesseo
I’m a ripe fruit, attracting flies. I won’t blame them though
뭐래 짖어 입만 아파
mworae jijeo imman apa
What are you saying? Stop barking. Your mouth will hurt
내 채찍질하기도 난 바빠
nae chaejjikjilhagido nan bappa
I’m too busy to lash out anyway
We back back back
I’m back back back
Back엔 빽 Back엔 빽
Backen ppaek Backen ppaek
Backs on back, Backs on back
등 뒤에 가득 빽을 지고 We are back
deung dwie gadeuk ppaegeul jigo We are back
We have our backups behind us, and we are back
We back back back
I’m back back back
B A C K back we back
이제 우리 돌아왔으니 go back go pack
ije uri dorawasseuni go back go pack
We’re back now so go back go pack
B A C K 내가 내 빽 아님 누가 내 빽
B A C K naega nae ppaek anim nuga nae ppaek
