F.T Island Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

내 관심 밖의 일입니다
여자 친굴 사귈 이유가 없죠
내 인생의 주인공 바로 나니까요
남자들끼리 나눌 얘기
들었다 놔야 할 세상이
사람들의 고민보다
가볍다고 생각마요
그랬던 그 맘이 나 변했습니다

그녀는 프리마돈나
내 청춘이란 무대 위에
그녀가 나타나 주인공이 됐죠
오오 나의 프리마돈나
걸음걸이는 발레리나
꾀꼬리 같은 목소릴 들으면
막 뛰던 심장이 웃는 것 같아요
프리마돈나
해피엔딩이 돼야만 해요
내 눈엔 반짝이는 별이 뜨고
친군 변했다 놀려도 사랑해요
발레리나 발레리나
여자 마음은 갈대라고
선배들 얘기를 들었죠
남자들 의리만이 늘
영원하다 믿은 거죠
그랬던 그 맘이 나 변했습니다
그녀는 뭔가가 달라요
친구들은 코러스가
하루 아침에 난 바보가 됐죠
오오 나의 프리마돈나
그녀 뒤에선 빛이 나요
하루 종일 키스하고 싶다
아마 꽃 향기가 날 것만 같아요
프리마돈나
영원한 그대 바보이고 싶어
그대가 입을 열면 시가 되요
완전히 미쳤다고 놀려도
오 라라라라
이 세상은 살만 했고
행복은 찾는 사람 몫이었죠
사랑을 찾아요
오오 나의 프리마돈나
걸음걸이는 발레리나
꾀꼬리 같은 목소릴 들으면
막 뛰던 심장이 웃는 것 같아요
프리마돈나
해피엔딩이 돼야만 해요
내 눈엔 반짝이는 별이 뜨고
친군 변했다 놀려도 사랑해요
프리마돈나
해피엔딩이 되야만 해요
프리마돈나
그녀 밖에 난 안보이네요
프리마돈나
프리마돈나
프리마돈나
프리마돈나

프리마돈나
프리마돈나

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to F.T Island's "Primadonna" express the singer's intense infatuation with a girl who he sees as the star of his life. He dismisses the idea of having a girlfriend as outside of his interests, as he is the singer of his own life. He values the stories and concerns he can share with his male friends more than the troubles of others. However, this all changes when he meets his Primadonna. She is his ballet dancer, whose voice makes his heart race and whose presence on stage inspires him to be the hero of his own life. He feels renewed and alive with her by his side, and he knows that it is only with her that he can achieve his own happy ending.

The lyrics focus on the theme of love and finding someone who gives meaning to your life. The singer sees his Primadonna as the only one who matters, and he is willing to sacrifice anything to have her by his side. He is willing to endure ridicule from his friends and to be seen as a fool if it means he can have her love. The song's intense, emotional tone matches the singer's passion, and the lyrics show how love can transform one's life and perspective.
