SEVENTEEN (세븐틴) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh oh oh yeah, oh oh
Oh oh oh yeah, oh oh

맘속엔 어린아이가 있어
오늘도 어려운 하루야
반대로만 가는 너와 난 oh
좀처럼 좁혀지지 않아
매일 더욱 더욱 더욱
매일 더욱 내겐 oh
모든 것이 차갑지만 oh
네가 있어 외롭지 않아

어린애 같은 난 여기 있는데
어디에 숨어 버렸을까
슬픔보다 찬란한 매일 너에게

괜찮아 너의 세상은
지금의 너 그대로
소중하고 또 소중해서 whoa
Stay here with me

어른스럽게 웃어넘긴 뒤에
어린애같이 울 때에도
우린 참 닮았어 함께해
너의 모습 그대로
어른 아이처럼

때론 시간을 낭비해봐도 좋아
철이 없다고 할지라도
나는 그런 너의 모습에서 no
나를 발견해 no, no, no

넘어지는 내일도 무섭지 않아
우리 함께라 눈물이 두렵지 않아 yeah
검게 덮혀진 이 세상 위로 yeah
새하얀 마음을 덧칠해줘

어린애 같은 난 여기 있는데
어디에 숨어버렸을까
슬픔보다 찬란한 매일 너에게

괜찮아 너의 세상은
지금의 너 그대로
소중하고 또 소중해서 whoa
Stay here with me

어른스럽게 웃어넘긴 뒤에
어린애같이 울 때에도
우린 참 닮았어 함께해
너의 모습 그대로
어른 아이처럼

Wo wuh wo wuh wo wuh wo wuh
Wo wuh wo wuh wo wuh wo wuh
Wo wuh wo wuh wo wuh wo wuh
어른 아이처럼
어른 아이처럼

Wo wuh wo wuh wo wuh wo wuh
Wo wuh wo wuh wo wuh wo wuh
숨겨진 우리의 슬픔마저 사랑하자

괜찮아 이 세상은
지금의 우리 그대로
소중하고 또 소중해서 whoa
Stay here with me

훌쩍 커버린 모습으로
아이처럼 살아갈 내일도
우린 참 닮았어 함께해




너의 모습 그대로
어른 아이처럼

in dks part, "its okay, your world is precious, so precious. just as you are right now. stay here with me" just reminds me how special your childhood is.

i connect to this song because im honestly quite scared of growing up. it all seems a bit daunting to me and i just want to stay as a child forever. its frfr quite a big change.

"stay here with me" makes me really sad whenever i hear that line :(( it just reminds me both seventeen and carats will eventually have to grow up, and leave eachothers comfort. for me its like a way of seventeen telling us to stay with them forever. (as well as maybe not growing up too fast??)

"its okay, your world is precious, so precious" is a lyric i interpret about your childhood. cause its where people go through majority of their ups and downs, their own hardships and changes. i see this lyric as a way of seventeen comforting and assuring us we're worthy

idkk this is just my own interpretation of these lines !!

hi, ive been a fan of your seventeen lyrics translations and how you explain certain parts of the song, would it be possible for you to make english trans lyrics to “what’s the problem” and/or “madness maxed out” of the hiphop unit? That would be awesome🙏🙏🧡 thank you

kidult feels like a love letter to your younger self. these times, when you hit your 18-20's, people automatically brand you as an adult even though some of us arent even ready to be responsible yet-- we're too young to be a funtioning adult, and too old to be treated as a kid. burden and responsibilities are already passed to us even though we're not ready yet, bc we havent even experienced much of life so we're not sure if every decisions we make is the right thing to do or not. we're literally moving in trial and error, constantly checking and checking if we fucked up something precious in our life. in essence, this song is telling us that it's okay to both be a kid and an adult at the same time. we can cry when we feel sad, or be mature about situations and hide our hearts from our sleeves - both are okay, because we're humans and it's okay to fuck up things sometimes bc that's how we learn and we grow. it's telling us to stop hiding our real self, and for the kid inside our hearts to stay forever with us.

basically, kidult good seventeen best boys

@chocolover387

This is exactly what I feel these days and this song is comforting to listen. I’m an adult now but I’m still not ready to be an adult.
