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.
Skate 바퀴는 삐걱대Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): Skate ba·kwi·neun ppi·geok·ttae
Meaning: The skateboard wheels are creaking
Words in this line- 바퀴는ba·kwi·neunwheel
- 삐걱대ppi·geok·ttaecreaks
Word for word: Skate wheel-topic creaks
Why it doesn't translate word for word: The particle «는» after «바퀴» just marks the topic of the sentence («as for the wheels») and has no standalone English word. So the clumsy «wheel-topic creaks» simply means «the wheels are creaking».
뭔가 발끝에 걸릴 땐Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): mwon·ga bal·kkeu·te geol·lil ttaen
Meaning: When something trips me up
Words in this line- 뭔가mwon·gasomething
- 발끝에bal·kkeu·teat the toe
- 걸릴geol·lilwill snag
- 땐ttaenwhen
Word for word: Something toe-tip-at will-snag when
Why it doesn't translate word for word: «발끝에 걸리다» literally means «to snag at the tip of the foot», but it's an idiom for «to trip over an obstacle» figuratively. Korean word order also puts «when» at the end of the clause, which is why the literal translation reads backwards in English.
망설임 따윈 잊고 DriveListen from this lineRomanization (as sung): mang·seo·rim tta·win it·kko Drive
Meaning: Forgetting all about hesitation, I drive
Words in this line- 망설임mang·seo·rimhesitation
- 따윈tta·winsuch thing
- 잊고it·kkoforgetting
Word for word: Hesitation and-such-things forgetting Drive
Why it doesn't translate word for word: «따위» adds a dismissive tone to «망설임» — not just «hesitation» but «hesitation and all that nonsense». The Korean verb «잊고» (forgetting) comes right before the English word «Drive», forming one continuous action — «forgetting it all, I drive» — rather than two separate ideas.
내일은 모르겠고 고민 않고 걍 GoListen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): nae·i·reun mo·reu·get·kko go·min an·ko gyang Go
Meaning: I don't know about tomorrow, not worrying - just go
Words in this line- 내일은nae·i·reuntomorrow
- 모르겠고mo·reu·get·kkodon't know
- 고민go·minworry
- 않고an·kowithout doing
- 걍gyangjust
Word for word: tomorrow-topic don't-know-and worry not-doing just Go
Why it doesn't translate word for word: Literally '모르겠고' means 'don't know, and' and '고민 않고' means 'without doing worry'; combined with '걍' (a casual slang form of 'just'), the line becomes one carefree attitude rather than separate statements.
