SHINee
Ooh aw!
Hey, oh, oh, ooh, ah-ahh, ah-aaw!
자정 막 지난 새벽, 진흙 속 눈 뜬 무언가
In the early dawn just past midnight, something awakens in the muddy earth.
모두 나를 무서워했지 (oh yeah)
Everyone was scared of me (oh yeah)
앞으로 뻗은 두 팔, 난 살아있는 워킹데드
With my arms stretched out, I'm a living Walking Dead
그 숨은 차가웠지
That breath was so cold.
숨 쉬는 게 지겨워질 쯤
When breathing starts to feel tiresome
그 때 그대 발견! So shocked!
Found you back then! So shocked!
Why so serious?
로미오와 줄리엣, 슬픈 러브스토리가 아, 아니야
Romeo and Juliet, a tragic love story, oh no,
다 잘 될 거야
Everything will be alright.
'결국 해피 엔딩'을 아는 넌 연애소설 매니아
You, who know the 'happy ending' too well, are a romance novel fanatic.
먼지만 풀썩대던 심장, 엔진을 renew
My heart, gathering dust and rust, time to renew the engine.
핏기 없던 나의 입술이 다시 붉은 컬러 루즈
My lips, once pale, now blossom in a bold red hue.
Baby, 날 어떻게 생각해? Baby 어떻게 생각해?
Baby, what do you think of me? Baby, how do you feel?
난 무섭지 않아요 so get in, get in
I'm not scared, so get in, get in.
이 긴 어둠이 언제부터였는지 기억도 안 나네, 대충 백 년 전?
I can't even remember when this long darkness began, maybe a hundred years ago?
그냥 그댈 본 날부터 시작이다, 이제부턴 그게 더 중요하니까
It all started the day I saw you; from now on, that matters more.
"이런 좀비 영화 어디서 본 것 같은데?"
"Feels like I've seen this zombie movie somewhere before?"
Oh no 이건 특별해
Oh no, this is special
비틀대는 걸음으로 걷자
Let's walk with a staggered step
그게 우리 사랑 방식
That's our way of loving
Why so serious?
로미오와 줄리엣, 슬픈 러브스토리가 아, 아니야
Romeo and Juliet, a sad love story, oh no
다 잘 될 거야
Everything will be alright
'결국 해피 엔딩'을 아는 넌 연애소설 매니아
'In the end, it's a happy ending,' you, the romance novel fanatic, know
먼지만 풀썩대던 심장, 엔진을 renew
My heart, once covered in dust, now renews its engine
핏기 없던 나의 입술이 다시 붉은 컬러 루즈
My lips, once colorless, now in a vibrant red hue
Baby, 날 어떻게 생각해? Baby, 어떻게 생각해?
Baby, what do you think of me? Baby, how do you feel?
우린 다르지 않아 벌써 닮아가고 있는걸
We're not so different, we’re already starting to resemble each other
해 지면 나와 거리를 허우적대며 헤매
When the sun sets, I wander the streets, floundering about
뇌 따윈 없이 보이겠지만 다들 고민 있겠지
You might think it's all in my head, but everyone has their troubles, you know
Ha, see? 휴머니즘 그런 거 몰라 그냥 널 사랑하게 돼
Ha, see? I don’t know anything about that humanism, I just find myself loving you
내 피는 다시 뜨거워져 그 모든 이유는 그대, come on!
My blood is boiling again, and the reason is you, come on!
다음 씬의 클라이막스 막 시작 돼
The climax of the next scene is just beginning
이 음악이 더욱 더 커지면 우린 살아있어, tonight
If this music gets even louder, we’re alive, tonight
Why so serious?
로미오와 줄리엣, 슬픈 러브스토리가 아, 아니야
Romeo and Juliet, a sad love story, ah, no way
다 잘 될 거야
Everything will be alright
'결국 해피 엔딩'을 아는 넌 연애소설 매니아
You, who know the 'happy ending' all too well, are a romance novel fanatic.
먼지만 풀썩대던 심장, 엔진을 renew
My heart, once covered in dust, renews its engine.
핏기 없던 나의 입술이 다시 붉은 컬러 루즈
My lifeless lips are now painted with a bold red hue.
Baby, 날 어떻게 생각해? Baby, 어떻게 생각해?
Baby, what do you think of me? Baby, how do you see me?
우린 다르지 않아 벌써 닮아가고 있는걸
We're not so different; we're already starting to resemble each other.
