Wanna One's “에너제틱 (Energetic)” is a high-voltage dance-floor song about being pulled toward someone and losing control once that person looks their way. Heat in the air, shivers and short breath set the scene, and they promise protection that goes beyond one night while bristling at other guys around their partner. They urge their partner to dance in the shoes they've been saving, dirt be damned, and the night feels like freedom.
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.
너와 나의 입술이 점점Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): neo·wa na·ui ip·ssu·ri jeom·jeom
Meaning: Your lips and mine, closer and closer
Words in this line- 너와neo·wayou and
- 나의na·uimy
- 입술이ip·ssu·rilips
- 점점jeom·jeomgradually
Word for word: You-and my lips gradually gradually
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 점점 on its own means 'gradually' and is doubled here, yet the line has no verb, so the literal version just stops. The natural meaning fills in 'getting closer'. The particle 와 ('and/with') ties 'you' and 'my lips' into one pair.
온몸에 전율이 와Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): on·mo·me jeo·nyu·ri wa
Meaning: A shiver runs through my whole body
Words in this line- 온몸에on·mo·meall over the body
- 전율이jeo·nyu·rishiver
- 와wacomes
Word for word: In whole-body shiver comes
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 온몸 is 'whole body', 전율 is 'shudder' and 오다 is 'to come'. Alone they sound like a shiver arriving as a guest, but together they mean 'I get chills all over'. Korean presents the feeling as something that comes to you by itself.
내 심장이 멈추는 그 순간까지Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): nae sim·jang·i meom·chu·neun geu sun·gan·kka·ji
Meaning: Until the moment my heart stops
Words in this line- 내naemy
- 심장이sim·jang·iheart
- 멈추는meom·chu·neunstops
- 그geuthat
- 순간까지sun·gan·kka·jiuntil the moment
Word for word: My heart stopping that moment until.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 멈추는 means 'stopping' and sits before the noun 순간 ('moment'), so the literal version is a clumsy chain. 그 순간까지 means 'until that moment', which English turns into 'until'. The whole line implies 'until my dying breath' without saying death.
한 순간의 작은 약속들은 아냐Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): han sun·ga·nui ja·geun yak·ssok·tteu·reun a·nya
Meaning: These aren't just small promises of a moment
Words in this line- 한hanone
- 순간의sun·ga·nuiof a moment
- 작은ja·geunsmall
- 약속들은yak·ssok·tteu·reunpromises
- 아냐a·nyaare not
아냐 is casual 'it's not so', giving a firm denial tone; the whole line rejects the idea that these promises are fleeting.
