Happy
2NE1 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
아님 너무 희미해
그 의미조차 어색해
널 보낸 후로 매일매일
홀로 지난 시간에
집착해 이제 초라해
내가 짐이 됐다면
진작 떠나야 했어 미안해
나 땜에 힘들었는지
많이 불편했는지
바보처럼 눈치도 못 챈 채
Oh no I didn't cry cry cry
어차피 누굴 원망해봤자, ㅗ됴
달라질 건 없어 다 끝이니까
널 위한 슬픈 bye bye bye
내가 없어야 행복하니까
Ooh ooh
너 없이 I'm not happy but I hope you're happy
멀리서 난 널 지켜볼게
너 없이 I'm not happy but I hope you're happy
모든 기억들은 뒤로한 채
행복하게 날 잊고 살아줘
I hope you're H-A-P-P-Y
행복하게 날 잊고 살아줘
I wish you're H-A-P-P-Y
I thought we had it together but well
난 노력했어 in every way
밤낮을 샜어 널 기다릴 땐
나란 여자 안에서 사랑 안에서 행복하지 않단 너의 말 Wait
제대로 먹었어 Pow 너무 아파 내 맘 Ouch
Thought you was happy but you turned me out
Cool한 척 하느라 참은 눈물이 널 향한 내 진실된 맘
아쉽기라도 했다면
미련이 남았다면
이렇게 차갑진 못할 텐데
사랑하기는 했는지
다 거짓이었는지
바보처럼 눈치도 못 챈 채
Oh no I didn't cry cry cry
어차피 누굴 원망해봤자, hey
달라질 건 없어 다 끝이니까
널 위한 슬픈 Bye bye bye
내가 없어야 행복하니까
Ooh ooh
너 없이 I'm not happy but I hope you're happy
멀리서 난 널 지켜볼게
너 없이 I'm not happy but I hope you're happy
모든 기억들은 뒤로한 채
행복하게 날 잊고 살아줘
I hope you're H-A-P-P-Y
행복하게 날 잊고 살아줘
I wish you're H-A-P-P-Y
너라도 행복해야 happy ending
나 비꼬는 거 아냐 다 진심인 거 알아줘
너라도 행복해야 happy ending
나 비꼬는 거 아냐 다 진심인 거 알아줄래
너 없이 I'm not happy but I hope you're happy
멀리서 난 널 지켜볼게
너 없이 I'm not happy but I hope you're happy
모든 기억들은 뒤로한 채
행복하게 날 잊고 살아줘
I hope you're H-A-P-P-Y
행복하게 날 잊고 살아줘
I wish you're H-A-P-P-Y
The song "Happy" by 2NE1 is about the aftermath of a break-up and the emotions that come with it. The lyrics describe the singer's feelings of regret and self-blame, wondering if they were the reason for the relationship's failure.

가끔은 내 생각할까
Do you ever think of me sometimes?
아님 너무 희미해
Or is it all too hazy?
그 의미조차 어색해
Even the meaning is awkward
널 보낸 후로 매일매일
Since I let you go, every day
홀로 지난 시간에
In the time I spent alone
집착해 이제 초라해
Now I obsess and feel pathetic
혹시 부담이 됐다면
If I ever became a burden
내가 짐이 됐다면
If I became baggage
진작 떠나야 했어 미안해
I should have left earlier, I'm sorry
나 땜에 힘들었는지
Did I make things difficult?
많이 불편했는지
Was it very uncomfortable?
바보처럼 눈치도 못 챈 채
Like a fool, I didn't even notice
Oh no I didn't cry cry cry
Oh no, I didn't cry, cry, cry
어차피 누굴 원망해봤자, ㅗ됴
Anyway, who could I blame? Oops
달라질 건 없어 다 끝이니까
Nothing will change, it's all over
널 위한 슬픈 bye bye bye
A sad bye, bye, bye for you
내가 없어야 행복하니까
You'll be happy if I'm not around
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
너 없이 I'm not happy but I hope you're happy
I'm not happy without you, but I hope you are

From afar, I'll look out for you

Leaving all memories behind
행복하게 날 잊고 살아줘
Live forgetting me, happy
I hope you're H-A-P-P-Y
I hope you're H-A-P-P-Y
I wish you're H-A-P-P-Y

I thought we had it together but well
I thought we had it together, but oh well
난 노력했어 in every way
I tried in every way
밤낮을 샜어 널 기다릴 땐
I stayed up day and night waiting for you
나란 여자 안에서 사랑 안에서 행복하지 않단 너의 말 Wait
Your words, saying you weren't happy with someone like me, who loved you
제대로 먹었어 Pow 너무 아파 내 맘 Ouch
It hit me hard, pow, my heart hurts, ouch
Thought you was happy but you turned me out
I thought you were happy, but you turned me out
Cool한 척 하느라 참은 눈물이 널 향한 내 진실된 맘
My truthful heart, trying to act cool but with tears towards you
아쉽기라도 했다면
If only I could regret
미련이 남았다면
If only there was lingering attachment
이렇게 차갑진 못할 텐데
Things wouldn't be this cold
사랑하기는 했는지
Did we love each other?
다 거짓이었는지
Was it all a lie?
Oh no I didn't cry cry cry
Oh no, I didn't cry, cry, cry
어차피 누굴 원망해봤자, hey
Anyway, who could I blame? Hey
널 위한 슬픈 Bye bye bye
A sad bye, bye, bye for you

Listening to this now, it just makes me cry. I remember being a kid, seeing my big brother watching 2NE1 on his laptop. Then he introduced me to them, he tried really hard on making me remember their faces that day, but gave up.
Whenever I hear "Gotta Be You" and "Happy" it makes me remember that time, the time where it was sunny, sitting near the window, watching the other kids play and I would eat ice cream, not minding that I was making a mess, with my brother on the other room, blasting some music from 2NE1.
Fast forward to 2016, I decided to watch them, and I got really addicted. I love them, and wouldn't stop on listening to them. Day and night, no matter what I do, I would play their music. I also watched a lot of their videos.
Then one day, I heard from my brother that they disbanded. At first I didn't believe him because he knew that I've been into 2NE1 and thought that he was just pulling a prank on me, I told him that it's not true, and laughed at him. But he looked really serious, then I later found out that it was really true.
I cried all night. I wasn't able to move on from it. They were the first ever group I stanned, and that was the first time I experienced a group disbanding.
I would cry everytime I played their songs, and I listened to "Happy" a lot of times, thinking that I would be alright, but it didn't work. It just made me even more sad, and I guess that's why I always feel gloomy when I listen to it.
I'm grateful that they existed, they made my childhood days and teenage years complete. ;-; They were the reason why I got into KPOP, if I didn't know them earlier, my life would've been boring.
I also thank my brother for introducing me to them.
I will forever be a BLACKJACK💕

2ne1 was always AHEAD OF THEIR TIME. This MV looks like it was released yesterday. The concept screams 2020. Who agrees?
@user-qx7vv3gt3r
