04 Don't start now
BoA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Ohh, oh, yeah)
(Uh, come on)

아직은 시작하지 마
그 오빠는 기다리겠지, 나의 사랑을
어린 나를 아껴주던 햇살
그의 환한 미소 같이 모두 간직하겠어
언니 옆에 있었던 내 손 잡은 그 순간
그의 멋진 눈빛에 나는 얼어버렸어

(Uh, oh)
Don't start now
The feelings come and gone
난 지금은 어린걸
그때까지만 기다려줘요

Don't start now
The feelings come and gone
내 사랑을 지켜줘
그때가 되면 내게로 와요
(Ohh, oh, yeah)
(Uh, come on)

학교에서 돌아왔을 때
그의 차가 와있어
누굴 보러 왔을까
그 사람의 옆자리엔
내가 그를 바라보고 있어
내게 키스 할거야

붉어진 내 얼굴에 다가온 순간
이 모든것이 나의 환상이었어

(Uh, oh)
Don't start now
The feelings come and gone
난 지금은 어린걸
그때까지만 기다려줘요

Don't start now
The feelings come and gone
내 사랑을 지켜줘
그때가 되면 내게로 와요

내게 보낸 그 사람의 선물이
언니에게도 하나가 와있어
내가 모두 차지 할 수 없는 게
안타까웠어 (I don't think so)

기다려요, 그리 멀진 않아요
예쁜 모습으로 앞에 설께요
그땐 나를 안아주고 말해요
날 사랑했었다고 whoa-whoa, ohh

(Ohh, oh, yeah)
(Uh, ahh, come on)

언니 옆에 있었던 내 손 잡은 그 순간
돌아가던 세상 모두 멈춰버렸어
얼어버렸어

Don't start now
The feelings come and gone
난 지금은 어린걸 (come on)
그때까지만 기다려줘요

Don't start now (come on)
The feelings come and gone
내 사랑을 지켜줘
그때가 되면 내게로 와요 (hah-ah-ah)

Don't start now
The feelings come and gone
난 지금은 어린걸
그때까지만 기다려줘요

Don't start now (come on, hah)
The feelings come and gone
내 사랑을 지켜줘
그때가 되면 내게로 와요

(Ohh, oh, yeah)
(Uh, come on)




기다려줘요
Don't, don't, don't, don't

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Boa's song "Don't Start Now" speak of a young woman who is not yet ready to start a relationship but is willing to wait for the man who cherishes her. She reminisces about the times when the sunshine used to caress her young self and the warmth of the smile of her loved one. She remembers the time when she froze in awe at the sight of him, holding her hand beside her unnis. When her admirer's car came to pick her up after school, she acknowledges the possibility of getting a kiss from him. She is hesitant and unsure if he is the right person for her, and she would not want to take things too fast.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Don't start now," emphasizing the idea of taking things slow and how feelings can come and go. The bridge of the song talks about the boy's gift for her sister and how she wishes she could claim it as hers. The young woman hopes that the man she likes would embrace her and tell her that he loves her.


Boa's "Don't Start Now" is a reflection on the fact that love is not always simple and how it can take time. The lyrics showcase the emotions and hesitation that people feel when they start to fall in love.
