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.
다시 한번 만나게 서로에게 향하게Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): da·si han·beon man·na·ge seo·ro·e·ge hyang·ha·ge
Meaning: So we meet once more and turn toward each other
Words in this line- 다시da·siagain
- 한번han·beononce
- 만나게man·na·geso we meet
- 서로에게seo·ro·e·geto each other
- 향하게hyang·ha·geso we face
Word for word: Again one-time so-meet, to-each-other so-face
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 다시 'again' and 한번 'one time' together mean 'once more'. 서로에게 is 'to each other', and 향하다 alone means 'to head toward'. The ending -게 adds purpose or wish, 'so that', so the line reads as a hope for a new meeting rather than a fact.
우리 인연은 깊어Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): u·ri i·nyeo·neun gi·peo
Meaning: Our bond runs deep
Words in this line- 우리u·riour
- 인연은i·nyeo·neunfated bond
- 깊어gi·peois deep
Word for word: Our fate-connection is deep
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 인연 can be rendered as 'connection', but the word carries the Buddhist idea of a fated meeting between people. 깊어 'is deep' normally describes water, but here it describes a relationship. The casual ending makes the confession warm and personal.
내 심박수를 믿어 믿어Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): nae sim·bak·ssu·reul mi·deo mi·deo
Meaning: Trust my heartbeat
Words in this line- 내naemy
- 심박수를sim·bak·ssu·reulheart rate (obj.)
- 믿어mi·deotrust
- 믿어mi·deotrust
Word for word: My heart-beat-number-object believe (believe)
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 심박수 is built from 심 'heart', 박 'beat' and 수 'number', meaning heart rate. 를 only marks the object, and 믿어 in casual form means 'trust'. The echo in brackets stresses the plea to believe what my body feels.
거짓말 안 할래 너도 말해Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): geo·jin·ma ran hal·lae neo·do ma·rae
Meaning: I won't lie, you tell the truth too.
Words in this line- 거짓말geo·jin·malie
- 안rannot
- 할래hal·laewill do
- 너도neo·doyou too
- 말해ma·raesay
Word for word: Lie not will-do, you also say.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 거짓말 literally means «false words», and 안 할래 is «not do» with the ending «-ㄹ래», which expresses personal intent. 말해 alone is just «speak», but after «I won't lie» it implies «tell the truth». Together it becomes an honest pact between two people.

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.
