너와 내 느낌대로, make it 시작해 봐Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): neo·wa nae neu·kkim·dae·ro, make it si·ja·kae bwa
Meaning: The way you and I feel it, let's make it start
Words in this line- 너와neo·wayou and
- 내naemy
- 느낌대로,neu·kkim·dae·ro,the way we feel
- 시작해si·ja·kaestart
- 봐bwago on
Word for word: You-and my feeling-according-to, make it start-try
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 너와 내 느낌대로 literally reads 'according to you-and-my feeling' — Korean places the possessive before the noun, so the literal order feels clunky. 시작해 봐 = 해 (do) + 봐 (try) softens a command into 'go on, start' rather than 'do, look'. The English 'make it' is spliced directly into the Korean phrase, a common K-pop hook device.
가득 담은 꿈 in my heartListen from this lineRomanization (as sung): ga·deuk da·meun kkum in my heart
Meaning: A dream held full in my heart
Words in this line- 가득ga·deukfully
- 담은da·meunfilled
- 꿈kkumdream
Word for word: To-the-brim filled dream in my heart
Why it doesn't translate word for word: Korean describes the dream before naming it, so "filled to the brim" comes first and "dream" last, which reads backwards in English. It simply means a dream held completely, filled to the brim, in the heart. Key words: 가득 (fully, to the brim) and 꿈 (dream).
가볍게 툭 어깨에 메고 시작해 봐 get get get get a guitarListen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): ga·byeop·kke tuk eo·kkae·e me·go si·ja·kae bwa get get get get a guitar
Meaning: Casually toss it over your shoulder and start (get, get, get, get a guitar)
Words in this line- 가볍게ga·byeop·kkelightly
- 툭tukwith a toss
- 어깨에eo·kkae·eon the shoulder
- 메고me·gocarrying
- 시작해si·ja·kaestart
- 봐bwago ahead
Word for word: Lightly thud on shoulder carrying start (get, get, get, get a guitar)
Why it doesn't translate word for word: '툭' is onomatopoeia for a light, casual toss with no dictionary equivalent, usually rendered 'casually'; '메고' plus '어깨에' together paint one single gesture — slinging the guitar onto your shoulder — not two separate actions.
네가 원하던 그 순간Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): ni·ga won·ha·deon geu sun·gan
Meaning: That moment you wanted
Words in this line- 네가ni·gayou (subject)
- 원하던won·ha·deonthat [you] wanted
- 그geuthat
- 순간sun·ganmoment
던 isn't simple past — it's a retrospective marker carrying a wistful 'used to want this' nuance, not just the bare fact of past desire.
