Key lines
4 lines from the song in Korean, with how they sound and what they mean. The full line-by-line breakdown lives in the app.
너란 꿈을 꿔 긴긴밤Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): neo·ran kku·meul kkwo gin·gin·bam
Meaning: All through the long night I dream of you
Words in this line- 너란neo·ranone called you
- 꿈을kku·meula dream
- 꿔kkwodream
- 긴긴밤gin·gin·bamlong long night
Word for word: Called-you dream dream long-long night
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 너란 literally means 'the one called you', so the dream is named 'you'. 꿈을 꾸다 is 'dream a dream', which just means 'to dream'. 긴긴밤 doubles 긴 'long', giving an endlessly long night.
천국의 문이 열린 걸까Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): cheon·gu·ge mu·ni yeol·lin geol·kka
Meaning: Have the gates of heaven opened?
Words in this line- 천국의cheon·gu·geof heaven
- 문이mu·nigate
- 열린yeol·linopened
- 걸까geol·kkaI wonder if
Word for word: Heaven's gate opened thing-I wonder
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 천국 is 'heaven', 문 is 'gate' and 열린 is 'opened', but 걸까 is 'thing' + 'I wonder if'. That tail turns the sentence into a musing aloud: 'could it be...?'. The literal chain loses that wondering feeling.
걷잡을 수 없게 자꾸 번져Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): geot·jja·beul ssu eop·kke ja·kku beon·jeo
Meaning: They can't be held back, they keep spreading
Words in this line- 걷잡을geot·jja·beulto rein in
- 수ssuway
- 없게eop·kkeso that none
- 자꾸ja·kkurepeatedly
- 번져beon·jeospread
Word for word: Rein-in way not-so-that repeatedly spread
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 걷잡다 is 'to rein in' and 수 없다 is 'cannot', and together they make the idiom 'uncontrollable'. 번지다 is to spread like ink on paper. So the meaning is feelings spreading with no control.
꿈이면 절대 날 깨우지 마Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): kku·mi·myeon jeol·ttae nal kkae·u·ji ma
Meaning: If this is a dream, never wake me up
Words in this line- 꿈이면kku·mi·myeonif a dream
- 절대jeol·ttaeabsolutely
- 날nalme
- 깨우지kkae·u·jiwake
- 마madon't
Word for word: If dream absolutely me wake don't
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 꿈이면 is 'if it's a dream', 절대 is 'absolutely', and 깨우지 마 is 'don't wake'. Korean puts the negative command at the end, so the literal version looks backwards. Together it is a plea to let the happiness last even if it isn't real.

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.
