신화 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
참 반갑구나
니 아들도 몰라보게 컸구나
부모님 여전히 건강하시고
클레오파트라 뺨치는
와이프도 똑같네
감쪽같네 니 사업 망하더니
그새 툭툭 털고 다시 일어섰네
Give me 5 이 나이에 high 5
힙합에 모자 니 마음만은 부자
오래간만에 술잔을 부딪혀
녹차와 보리차 외에
안주는 필요없어 술을 들이켜 짠
인생의 시곗바늘
스무 바퀴 반을 되감아 되감아
자 가자 time machine
끝까지 가잔 promises
조그만 사무실 열정에 불씨
딴 건 몰라도 목표만은 확실
우릴 반기던 무대가
그립지는 않니
모두 원하겠지 happy ending을
허나 끝이 아닌 걸
또 많은 시간이 앞에 펼쳐 있는 걸
모두 원한대로 될 순 없겠지
그럼 재미 없잖아
때론 매도 약이 되는 걸
외로울 땐 내가 힘이 돼줄게
I just wanna see your smile
전화도 하지 말고 와
I just wanna see your smile
I really want you to come
I just wanna see your smile
세월이 가네 내 마음이 변해
물과 또 강산이 변해
여보게 친구는 친군가 보네
내 맘 한편에 안식처가 되네
돗자리가 되네
가다 멈춰 쉴 때는 날 꺼내게
아무 때나 앉아서 쉴 수 있게
날 봐서라도 한번 더 힘내게
할 수 있단 것을 알기에
모두 원하겠지 happy ending을
허나 끝이 아닌 걸
또 많은 시간이 앞에 펼쳐 있는 걸
모두 원한대로 될 순 없겠지
그럼 재미 없잖아
때론 매도 약이 되는 걸
외로울 땐 내가 힘이 돼줄게
I just wanna see your smile
전화도 하지 말고 와
I just wanna see your smile
I really want you to come
I just wanna see your smile
멋모르던 시절 숱한 실수도
내 서투른 사랑도
나쁜 기억은 시간에 묻어버리고
힘을 내서 다시 시작해보자
살아온 날보다도
살아가야 할 날 많잖아
모두 원하겠지 happy ending을
허나 끝이 아닌 걸
또 많은 시간이 앞에 펼쳐 있는 걸
모두 원한대로 될 순 없겠지
그럼 재미 없잖아
때론 매도 약이 되는 걸

감쪽같네 니 사업 망하더니
그새 툭툭 털고 다시 일어섰네
자랑스럽구나
Give me 5 이 나이에 high 5

Hello, friend who made time in your busy schedule to meet me
참 반갑구나
I'm truly glad to see you
니 아들도 몰라보게 컸구나
Your son has grown and changed so much that I barely recognize him
부모님 여전히 건강하시고
I hope your parents are still in good health
클레오파트라 뺨치는
Your wife is as beautiful as Cleopatra
와이프도 똑같네
And she's just as amazing as before
감쪽같네 니 사업 망하더니
It's surprising how you managed to rise up again after your business failed
그새 툭툭 털고 다시 일어섰네
You should be proud of yourself for brushing off the setback and standing up again
자랑스럽구나
I'm proud of you
Give me 5 이 나이에 high 5
Give me a high five at this age, still rocking in hip-hop
힙합에 모자 니 마음만은 부자
You may not be rich in material terms, but your heart is rich in hip-hop
오래간만에 술잔을 부딪혀
Let's clink glasses after a long time apart
녹차와 보리차 외에 안주는 필요없어 술을 들이켜 짠
We don't need any snacks other than green tea and barley tea; let's drink and have a good time
인생의 시곗바늘 스무 바퀴 반을 되감아 되감아
Let's rewind the clock of life and go back twenty wheels
자 가자 time machine
Let's go, time machine
끝까지 가잔 promises
Let's keep our promises until the end
조그만 사무실 열정에 불씨
With a spark of passion in a small office
딴 건 몰라도 목표만은 확실
Even if we don't know about other things, let's be certain of our goals
우릴 반기던 무대가 그립지는 않니
Don't you miss the stage that used to cheer us on?
모두 원하겠지 happy ending을
Everyone desires a happy ending
허나 끝이 아닌 걸
But it's not the end
또 많은 시간이 앞에 펼쳐 있는 걸
There is still a lot of time ahead of us
모두 원한대로 될 순 없겠지
It's not possible for everything to turn out as we want
그럼 재미 없잖아
Otherwise, it wouldn't be interesting
때론 매도 약이 되는 걸
Sometimes, the challenges become our motivation
외로울 땐 내가 힘이 돼줄게
When you feel lonely, I'll be your strength
I just wanna see your smile
I simply want to see your smile
전화도 하지 말고 와
Don't even call, just come
I really want you to come
I truly want you to come
멋모르던 시절 숱한 실수도
Even the foolish mistakes of our inexperienced days
내 서투른 사랑도
And my clumsy love
나쁜 기억은 시간에 묻어버리고
Let's bury the bad memories in time
힘을 내서 다시 시작해보자
Let's gather our strength and start again
살아온 날보다도 살아가야 할 날 많잖아
We have more days ahead of us than the days we've lived
또 많은 시간이 앞에 펼쳐 있는 걸
There is still a lot of time ahead of us
모두 원하겠지 happy ending을
Everyone desires a happy ending
허나 끝이 아닌 걸
But it's not the end
때론 매도 약이 되는 걸
Sometimes, the challenges become our motivation
외로울 땐 내가 힘이 돼줄게
When you feel lonely, I'll be your strength
