About the Song
Within just a day of its release, the track surged to the top tier of every major Korean music chart, earning GFRIEND their first-ever No. 1 since debut. The music video surpassed two million views in only three days, making it the second-most viewed MV released in January 2016. Its strong chart performance also created a ripple effect: Me Gustas Tu—which had stayed on the charts for over six months—began rising again, and their debut track Glass Bead even re-entered the charts.
[Full Lyrics – Romanization & English Only]
Dagaseoji mothago hemaeigo isseo
i’m wandering, unable to get closer
Joahajiman dareun goseul bogo isseo
i like you, but i’m looking elsewhere
Gakkawo jiryeogo hamyeon halsurok
the more i try to get closer
Meoreojyeo ganeun uri durui maeumcheoreom
like our hearts drifting apart
Mannaji mothae maemdolgo isseo
we can’t meet, we’re circling around
Urin machi pyeonghaengseoncheoreom
we are like parallel lines
Maldo andwae urin bandeusi mannal geoya
it makes no sense, we will definitely meet
Gidarilge eonjekkajina
i’ll wait for you forever
Micheo malhaji mothaesseo
i couldn’t say it yet
Daman neoreul joahaesseo
i just liked you
Eorin narui kkumcheoreom machi gijeokcheoreom
like a dream of young days, like a miracle
Siganeul dallyeoseo
running through time
Eoreuni doel suman itdamyeon
if only i could become an adult
Geochin sesang sogeseo soneul jabajulge
i’ll hold your hand in this rough world
Dagaseoryeo haebwado eotgalligo isseo
even if i try to get closer, we keep missing each other
Joahandan maldo ajik mothago isseo
i haven’t even said i like you yet
Meomutgeorineun neol bogo isseumyeon
when i see you hesitating
Urin ajikdo mani eorigin han-ga bwa
i guess we are still very young
Jopyeojiji ana han kkeut chai
it doesn’t narrow down, just a small difference
Urin machi pyeonghaengseoncheoreom
we are like parallel lines
Eonjenganeun mothan mareul jeonhal geoya
someday i will tell you the words i couldn’t say
Dagagalge eonjekkajina
i will approach you, always
Micheo malhaji mothaesseo
i couldn’t say it yet
Daman neoreul joahaesseo
i just liked you
Eorin narui kkumcheoreom machi gijeokcheoreom
like a dream of young days, like a miracle
Siganeul dallyeoseo
running through time
Eoreuni doel suman itdamyeon
if only i could become an adult
Geochin sesang sogeseo soneul jabajulge
i’ll hold your hand in this rough world
Sigan soge gachyeo gireul hemaeyeodo
even if i’m trapped in time and lost
Geureochiman urin gyeolguk mannal geoya
but we will meet in the end
Jinsimin geommanarajwo jeongmal
please just know that i’m sincere, really
Seotulgiman handaedo
even if i’m only clumsy
Micheo malhaji mothaesseo
i couldn’t say it yet
Daman neoreul joahaesseo
i just liked you
Eorin narui kkumcheoreom machi gijeokcheoreom
like a dream of young days, like a miracle
Siganeul dallyeoseo
running through time
Eoreuni doel suman itdamyeon
if only i could become an adult
Geochin sesang sogeseo neoreul anajulge
i’ll hug you in this rough world
Igeo hanaman yaksokhae
promise me just this one thing
Byeonchi ankireul baralge
i hope you won’t change
Geuttaedo jigeumcheoreom nal hyanghae useojwo
smile at me then just like now
Sigani heulleoseo
as time passes
Eoreuni doel suman itdamyeon
if only i could become an adult
Eotgallim geu sogeseo soneul jabajulge
i’ll hold your hand amidst the missed timing
