100 Years of K-pop Waiting for Translation
Official Lyrics & English Translation
- I’m on the next level yeah
- 절대적 룰을 지켜
Follow the absolute rules - 내 손을 놓지 말아
Don’t let go of my hand - 결속은 나의 무기
Solidarity is my weapon - 광야로 걸어가
Walk into the wilderness - 알아 네 home ground
I know your home ground - 위협에 맞서서
Against the threat - 제껴라 제껴라 제껴라
Get it out of, Get it out of, Get it out of the way
- 상상도 못한 black out
Unimaginable black out - 유혹은 깊고 진해
Temptation is deep and intense - (Too hot too hot)
- (Ooh ooh wee) 맞잡은 손을 놓쳐
(Ooh ooh wee) Let go of our hands - 난 절대 포기 못해
I never give up
- I’m on the next level
- 저 너머의 문을 열어
Open the door over there - Next level
- 널 결국엔 내가 부셔
I will break you in the end - Next level
- Kosmo에 닿을 때까지
Until I reach Kosmo - Next level
- 제껴라 제껴라 제껴라
Get it out of, Get it out of, Get it out of the way
- La la la la la la (ha, ha)
- La la la la la la
- La la la la la la
- La la la la la
- I see the NU EVO
- 적대적인 고난과 슬픔은
Hostile suffering and sorrow - 널 더 popping 진화시켜
Evolve you more popping - That’s my Naevis
- It’s my Naevis
- You lead, we follow
- 감정들을 배운 다음
After learning emotions - Watch me while I make it out
- Watch me while I work it out
- Watch me while I make it out
- Watch me while I work it out
- Work it, work it, work it out
- 감당할 수 없는 절망도
Even the despair I can’t bear - 내 믿음을 깨지 못해 (watch me while I work it)
It can’t break my faith (watch me while I work it) - 더 아픈 시련을 맞아도
Even if I face more painful trials - 난 잡은 손을 놓지 않을게 (watch me while I work it) oh
I won’t let go of my hand (watch me while I work it) oh
- Beat drop
- Naevis, calling
- 절대로 뒤를 돌아보지 말아
Never look back - 광야의 것 탐내지 말아
Don’t covet what is in the wilderness - 약속이 깨지면
When the promise is broken - 모두 걷잡을 수 없게 돼
Everything goes out of control - 언제부턴가 불안해져 가는 신호
A sign that getting anxious at some point - 널 파괴하고 말 거야 (we want it)
I’ll destroy you (we want it) - Come on! Show me the way to Kosmo yeah yeah
- Black mamba가 만들어낸 환각 퀘스트
A hallucinatory quest created by Black mamba - Aespa, ae를 분리시켜놓길 원해 그래
Aespa, want to keep ae separate yeah - 중심을 잃고 목소리도 잃고 비난받고
Losing balance, losing voice, being criticized - 사람들과 멀어지는 착각 속에
In the illusion of distance from people - Naevis 우리 ae, ae들을 불러봐
Naevis call our ae, ae - Aespa의 next level “P.O.S”를 열어봐
Open Aespa’s next level “P.O.S” - 이건 real world 깨어났어
This is the real world woke up - We against the villain
- What’s the name? Black mamba
- 결국 난 문을 열어
Finally I open the door - 그 빛은 네겐 fire
That light is fire for you - (Too hot too hot)
- (Ooh ooh wee)
- 난 궁금해 미치겠어
I’m curious, going crazy - 이 다음에 펼칠 story, huh!
The story to unfold after this, huh!
- I’m on the next level
- 저 너머의 문을 열어
Open the door over there - Next level
- 널 결국엔 내가 부셔
I will break you in the end - Next level
- Kosmo에 닿을 때까지
Until I reach Kosmo - Next level
- 제껴라 제껴라 제껴라
Get it out of, Get it out of, Get it out of the way
- I’m on the next level
- 더 강해져 자유롭게
Become stronger and free - Next level
- 난 광야의 내가 아냐
I’m not the wilderness me - Next level
- 야수 같은 나를 느껴
Feel me like a beast - 제껴라 제껴라 제껴라 huh!
Get it out of, Get it out of, Get it out of the way huh!
