When
D.J. Curtin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

마법 같았지 when we disco, when we disco
그래서 잊지를 못해 아직도
너무 그리워 when we disco, when we disco
너도 기억하고 있는지 지금도

너 빼고 나머진 다 blur
너만 보였지 (when we D-I-S-C-O)
빨려 들어갔어 rapture
밤이 새도 몰랐지
넌 지금 어디에 있는지
날 가끔 생각은 하는지
아름다웠던 그 시절의 우릴
Do you remember, baby?

마법 같았지 when we disco, when we disco
그래서 잊지를 못해 아직도
너무 그리워 when we disco, when we disco
너도 기억하고 있는지 지금도

춤을 추는 우리를 다
바라보았지 (when we D-I-S-C-O)
움직임 하나하나가
전율을 일으켰지
넌 그걸 잊을 수 있는지 나처럼
잊지 못하는지
아름다웠던 그 시절의 우릴
Do you remember, baby?

마법 같았지 when we disco, when we disco
그래서 잊지를 못해 아직도
너무 그리워 when we disco, when we disco
너도 기억하고 있는지 지금도

찌른 건 하늘이 아니라 서로의 마음이었었지
기억하니 do you remember?
흔든 건 골반이 아니라 서로의 인생이었었지
Do you, do you remember, baby?

마법 같았지 when we disco, when we disco
그래서 잊지를 못해 아직도
너무 그리워 when we disco, when we disco




너도 기억하고 있는지 지금도
J.Y.P

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "When" by D.J. Curtin describe the feelings of nostalgia and yearning for a past time with someone special. The repetition of "when we disco" acts as a trigger for these memories, as the singer reflects on a past relationship that was once magical but has since ended. The phrase "너 빼고 나머진 다 blur" (everyone else was a blur except for you) implies that the singer was completely focused on their partner during these moments, and that the memories are still vivid in their mind. The use of the word "rapture" further emphasizes the intense emotions felt during this time.


The lyrics also suggest that the relationship ended without closure, as the singer questions where their former partner is now and wonders if they still think of them. The lines "넌 그걸 잊을 수 있는지 나처럼 잊지 못하는지" (can you forget it like I can't?) reveal that the singer is still hung up on the relationship and unable to move on, despite the passing of time. The final lines of the song suggest that the memories of the relationship are not just tied to the physical act of dancing, but to the deeper connection between the two people. The use of "서로의 마음" (each other's hearts) and "서로의 인생" (each other's lives) indicates that the relationship was meaningful and significant.
