Hyomin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
흠이 없단 이유로
넌 나를 골라냈어
네 까다론 입맛에 맞춰서
부드럽게 녹아 줄
넌 그런 걸 원했어
내게서 가지려는 게
나의 맘이 아닌 게
다 느껴지는데 I feel you
네가 나를 원하는 이유가
껍질뿐인 거라면
I can make you I can make you man
Man go Man go
시간낭비 말고 시간낭비 말고
질척대지 말고 질척대지 말고
Man go Man go
거슬리지 말고 거슬리지 말고
사라져 줘 Man go
내가 향기롭고 또 물러 보여도
시고 떫은 Mango
심지 곧은 Mango
내가 착해 보이고 약해 보여도
난 특별한 Mango
I can make you man man go
덜 익은 내 맘을 보고도
넌 성급히 굴었지
날 마구 찔러댔지
너 땜에 내 속이 썩는 건
용납 못하지
I don't like it
설탕을 바른 그 말은
나를 간지럽혀도
꾸며진 거라면 난 싫구
여기가 포장된
네 맘의 유통기한이라면
I can make you
I I can make you man
Man go Man go
시간낭비 말고 시간낭비 말고
질척대지 말고 질척대지 말고
Man go Man go
거슬리지 말고 거슬리지 말고
사라져 줘 Man go
내가 향기롭고 또 물러 보여도
시고 떫은 Mango
심지 곧은 Mango
내가 착해 보이고 약해 보여도
난 특별한 Mango
급이 다른 Mango
날 찔러보는 거라면
take your hands off me
날 시들게 하려고 한다면
then I'll just walk away
money money
넌 또 뭐니
저렴한 태도에 난 더 화나지
honey honey 넌 다르니
I can make you man
Man go Man go
시간낭비 말고 시간낭비 말고
질척대지 말고 질척대지 말고
Man go Man go
거슬리지 말고 거슬리지 말고
사라져 줘 Man go
사라져 줘 Man go
난 특별한 Mango
I can make you man go
The lyrics of Hyomin's "MANGO" talk about a woman who is confident in herself and wants a man who can appreciate her for who she is, without trying to change or control her. The chorus repeats the phrase "Man go," which can be interpreted to mean that the woman wants a man who is confident and masculine, and who can handle her strong personality. She also warns off men who try to manipulate or control her, saying that she will just walk away if they don't treat her with respect.
The lyrics are empowering and assertive, encouraging women to be themselves and not settle for less than they deserve in a relationship. The metaphor of the mango is used to symbolize the woman, who may appear sweet and soft on the outside but has a strong and assertive personality inside. The use of the word "man" in the chorus is also interesting, as it can be seen as a call to action for men to step up and be confident and assertive themselves.
