10분 뒤에 저 앞에서 너를 기다리고 있을게Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): sip·ppun dwi·e jeo a·pe·seo neo·reul gi·da·ri·go i·sseul·kke
Meaning: In ten minutes I'll be waiting for you up ahead
Words in this line- 10분sip·ppun10 minutes
- 뒤에dwi·eafter
- 저jeothat over there
- 앞에서a·pe·seoin front
- 너를neo·reulyou (object)
- 기다리고gi·da·ri·gowaiting and
- 있을게i·sseul·kkeI'll be
Word for word: 10 minutes after, that front-at you waiting I'll be.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 뒤에 literally means 'behind', but after a time it means 'later'. 저 앞 is 'that front', a spot just ahead. The ending -ㄹ게 in 있을게 adds a promise, 'I'll be there for you', which no single word carries.
나쁜 맘은 없어, 널 조금 더 깊이 알고 싶어Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): na·ppeun ma·meu neop·sseo, neol jo·geum deo gi·pi al·go si·peo
Meaning: I mean no harm, I just want to get to know you a little deeper

- 널neolyou
- 조금jo·geuma little
- 더deomore
- 깊이gi·pideeply
- 알고al·goto know
- 싶어si·peowant
Word for word: Bad heart-topic not-exist, you a-little more deeply know want.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 맘 is short for 마음 ('heart'), so 나쁜 맘 means 'bad intentions'. 알고 alone is 'knowing' and 싶어 is 'want', but 알고 싶어 together mean 'want to get to know'. The word 깊이 ('deeply') adds a sense of closeness rather than plain information.
그 아주 부드러운 음악 속 너와 헤매고 싶어, uhListen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): geu a·ju bu·deu·reo·u neu·mak ssong neo·wa he·mae·go si·peo, uh
Meaning: I want to wander lost with you in that very soft music, uh
Words in this line- 그geuthat
- 아주a·juvery
- 부드러운bu·deu·reo·usoft

- 속ssonginside
- 너와neo·wawith you
- 헤매고he·mae·gowander
- 싶어,si·peo,want
Word for word: That very soft music inside you-with wander want, uh.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 헤매다 literally means 'to wander without finding the way', but here it is a sweet kind of getting lost. 속 means 'inside', which makes the music feel like a space you can disappear into. The ending 싶어 adds longing rather than an action.
우리 집으로 네 손을 꼭 잡고Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): u·ri ji·beu·ro ne so·neul kkok jjap·kko
Meaning: Holding your hand tight, heading to my place
Words in this line- 우리u·riour
- 집으로ji·beu·roto home
- 네neyour
- 손을so·neulhand (obj.)
- 꼭kkoktightly
- 잡고jjap·kkoholding
Word for word: Our house to your hand tightly holding
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 꼭 alone means 'surely, definitely', but with 'hold' it means 'tightly'. 잡다 is 'to grab, hold'. 우리 집 is again 'my place'. Korean puts the verb last, so the order looks flipped.

How we make these breakdowns
theIDOL builds every breakdown with AI assistance and automated checks, and publishes a page only after it passes them. An AI model writes the meaning of each line and the word-by-word glosses from the song's timed lyrics. The pronunciation comes from our own rule-based Korean transcriber, which spells how the words sound when sung, sound changes included, not a letter-by-letter romanization. Pages that fail the audio-sync or translation checks are not published, and we quote only a few key lines. If you spot a mistake, write to support@theidol.ai and we will fix it.
