  1. 처음엔 아무 느낌 없었는데

    At first, there was no feeling at all

  2. 매일 티격 대면서

    Every day, bickering back and forth

  3. 우리 싫지는 않았나 봐

    Seems like we didn’t really dislike it

  4. 가끔 빤히 나를 바라볼 때면

    Sometimes when you stare so intently at me

  5. 어색해질까 봐 괜히 딴청만 부렸어

    I pretended not to notice, afraid it would feel awkward

  6. 네가 나를 좋아하는 거 다 알아

    I know that you like me

  7. 근데 그거 알아

    But do you know this?

  8. 너보다 내가 너를

    I think I like you

  1. 좀 더 좋아하는 것 같아

    A little more than you like me

  2. I mean it

  3. 내 마음이 너보다 앞서가

    My heart races ahead of you

  4. Oh no Oh no Oh no 항상

    Oh no Oh no Oh no, always

  5. 늘 이렇게 곁에 내 옆에 있어 줄래

    Will you stay by my side like this?

  6. 조금 느리면 뭐 어때

    What’s wrong with being a little slow?

  7. 나 이렇게 기다릴게

    I’ll wait like this

  8. 풍선처럼 커지는 맘이

    My heart is growing like a balloon

  9. 펑 펑 터지진 않을까

    Will it pop, pop, pop?

  10. 내 맘이 자꾸 막 그래

    My heart keeps acting this way

  11. 널 보면 막 그래

    Whenever I see you, it just goes like this

  12. 토끼와 거북이처럼

    Like the tortoise and the hare

  13. 요즘 따라 자꾸만 더 멋져 보여

    You seem cooler every day

  14. 한 번씩 연락 없으면

    When you don’t text me once in a while

  15. 괜스레 서운해져

    I get unreasonably sad

  16. 혹시 내가 너무 앞서간 걸까

    Did I get ahead of myself?

  17. 조급해지면 난 괜한 투정을 부려

    When I rush, I kick up a fuss

  18. 네가 나를 좋아하는 거 다 알아

    I know that you like me

  19. 근데 그거 알아

    But do you know this?

  20. 너보다 내가 너를

    I think I like you

  21. 좀 더 좋아하는 것 같아

    A little more than you like me

  22. I mean it

  23. 내 마음이 너보다 앞서가

    My heart races ahead of you

  24. Oh no Oh no Oh no 항상

    Oh no Oh no Oh no, always

  25. 늘 이렇게 곁에 내 옆에 있어 줄래

    Will you stay by my side like this?

  26. 조금 느리면 뭐 어때

    What’s wrong with being a little slow?

  27. 나 이렇게 기다릴게

    I’ll wait like this

  28. 풍선처럼 커지는 맘이

    My heart is growing like a balloon

  29. 펑 펑 터지진 않을까

    Will it pop, pop, pop?

  30. 내 맘이 자꾸 막 그래

    My heart keeps acting this way

  31. 널 보면 막 그래

    Whenever I see you, it just goes like this

  32. I'm in love with you

  33. 조금만 더 서둘러줘

    Could you hurry up just a little more?

  34. 우린 할 일이 많은데

    We have so much to do together

  35. 늘 이렇게 곁에 내 옆에 있어 줄래

    Will you stay by my side like this?

  36. 조금 느리면 뭐 어때

    What’s wrong with being a little slow?

  37. 나 이렇게 기다릴게

    I’ll wait like this

  38. 풍선처럼 커지는 맘이

    My heart is growing like a balloon

  39. 펑 펑 터지진 않을까

    Will it pop, pop, pop?

  40. 내 맘이 자꾸 막 그래

    My heart keeps acting this way

  41. 널 보면 막 그래

    Whenever I see you, it just goes like this

  42. 항상 내 마음이 앞서

    Always, my heart races ahead

  43. 토끼와 거북이처럼

    Like the tortoise and the hare
