English Translation

tteo-na-neun gi-re ni-ga nae-ge mal-haet-ji
‘neo-neun ba-ra-neun ge neo-mu-na man-ah
jam-kka-ni-ra-do neol an ba-ra-bo-myeon
meo-ri-e bu-ri na-beo-rin-da-ni-kka’
na-neun heu-reu-ryeo-neun nun-mu-reul cham-go
ha-ryeo-dun yae-gil eo-ryeop-ge nu-reu-go
‘geu-rae mi-an-hae’-ra-neun han ma-di-ro
neo-rang na-nun nal-deul ma-mu-ri-haet-seot-ji

on the way out, you told me
‘you want way too many things
if i look away from you even for a second
my head is about to catch on fire’
i held back the tears that were about to fall
and with difficulty, swallowed down the words i wanted to say
with just that one phrase, ‘yeah, i’m sorry’
i wrapped up the days i shared with you

dal-di-dal-go dal-di-dal-go dal-di-dan bam-yang-gaeng bam-yang-gaeng
nae-ga meok-go si-peot-dun geon dal-di-dan bam-yang-gaeng bam-yang-gaeng-i-ya

sweet, sweet, and sweet chestnut jelly, chestnut jelly
what i wanted to eat was just the sweet chestnut jelly, chestnut jelly

tteo-na-neun gi-re ni-ga nae-ge mal-haet-ji
‘neo-neun ba-ra-neun ge neo-mu-na man-ah’
a-nya nae-ga neul ba-ran geon ha-na-ya
han gae-ppun-i-ya dal-di-dan bam-yang-gaeng

on the way out, you told me
‘you want way too many things’
no, what i always wanted was just one thing
there is only one, the sweet chestnut jelly

dal-di-dal-go dal-di-dal-go dal-di-dan bam-yang-gaeng bam-yang-gaeng
nae-ga meok-go si-peot-dun geon dal-di-dan bam-yang-gaeng bam-yang-gaeng-i-ya

sweet, sweet, and sweet chestnut jelly, chestnut jelly
what i wanted to eat was just the sweet chestnut jelly, chestnut jelly

sang-da-ri-ga bu-reo-ji-go
du-ri-seo meok-da ha-na-ga sseu-reo-jyeo-beo-ryeo-do
na-ra-neun sa-ra-meul mol-rat-dun neon

even if the table legs break from being piled with food
and even if two people eat and one faints from how grand it is
you, who never really knew the kind of person i am

tteo-na-ga-da-ga do-ra-seo-seo mal-haet-ji
‘neo-neun ba-ra-neun ge neo-mu-na man-ah’
a-nya nae-ga neul ba-ran geon ha-na-ya
han gae-ppun-i-ya dal-di-dan bam-yang-gaeng

as you were leaving, you turned around and said
‘you want way too many things’
no, what i always wanted was just one thing
there is only one, the sweet chestnut jelly

🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation

The song delineates a bittersweet narrative of an inevitable breakup, exposing the fundamental misunderstanding between partners regarding their emotional needs. While one side faults the other for being excessively demanding and high-maintenance, the speaker reveals that all they truly yearned for was a modest, sweet gesture of affection, symbolized by a simple chestnut jelly. Suppressing tears and choosing a quiet departure, the track delivers a poignant commentary on how a relationship can dissolve when one fails to comprehend the true simplicity of their partner’s innermost emotional desires.
