A-Yo
SHINee (샤이니) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[종현] 가끔 혼자서 길을 걷다
잠시 멈춰 주윌 한번 둘러보다
[온유] 혼자라는 기분에 힘이 들 땐
그땐 나를 따라해 나를 나를 따라해, eh

[태민] 또 혼자서 잠에 들다
[민호] 애써 꾸벅꾸벅 지친 눈을 감다
자꾸 많은많은 생각에 잠 못들 땐
그땐 나를 따라해 나를 나를 따라해, eh

*[All] A-yo, 힘이 들 땐
둥타닥 rhythm에 기대어, oh
널 향한 우리의 노래로, oh
모두 a-yo, 모두 a-yo

A-yo, 잠 못들 땐
툭 털어 rhythm에 맡기고, oh
펼쳘질 내일에 기대로, oh
모두 a-yo, 모두 a-yo*

[태민] IQ는 두자리
시험 점수도 두자리
전교 석차는 세자리
도대체, why, why

하루 온종일
돌아오는 건 잔소리
오늘도 책상 앞에선
뭘한거니, why, why

[종현] 숨가쁜 하루에
쉴 곳 하나 없어도, oh, oh
절대 약해지지마, ah, ah
No way, no way

[온유] 서러운 맘
알아줄이 없어도, oh, oh
절대 포기하지마, ah, ah
Your way, your way

A-yo, 힘이 들 땐
둥타닥 rhythm에 기대어, oh
널 향한 우리의 노래로, oh
모두 a-yo, 모두 a-yo

믿었던 사람아
내 모든걸 바쳐 잘했건만
계절바뀌듯 변해버린 니
사랑은 bye, goodbye
[민호] 시간이 없단 말
매일같이 참아준 거짓말
[태민] 모르는척 돌아와줄거라
믿었지 그땐 그땐

[온유] 가끔씩 눈물이
두눈앞을 가려도, oh, oh
절대 약해지지마, ah, ah
No way, no way

[종현] 잠못든 밤
끝이 없어보여도, oh, oh
절대 포기하지마, ah, ah
Your way, your way

A-yo, 힘이 들 땐
둥타닥 rhythm에 기대어, oh
널 향한 우리의 노래로, oh
모두 a-yo, 모두 a-yo

Woo~
힘이 들 땐 생각해
널 반겨줄 누군갈
[민호] 네가 오길 기다리며
널 향해서 웃고 있어, hey

[종현] Woo
잠 못들 땐 기대해
또 펼쳐질 내일을
[온유] 이 밤이 가면
[종현] 내게

[종현] 가끔 혼자서 길을 걷다
[태민] 잠시 멈춰 주윌 한번 둘러보다
[온유] 혼자라는 기분에 힘이 들 땐
그땐 나를 따라해 나를 나를 따라해, eh

[태민] 또 혼자서 잠에 들다
[민호] 애써 꾸벅꾸벅 지친 눈을 감다
자꾸 많은많은 생각에 잠 못들 땐
그땐 나를 따라해 나를 나를 따라해, eh

A-yo, 힘이 들 땐
둥타닥 rhythm에 기대어, oh
널 향한 우리의 노래로, oh
모두 a-yo, 모두 a-yo

Bring it side to side, 네 슬픈 눈물
Side to side, 네 아픔 모두




툭 털어 rhythm에 맡기고, oh
모두 a-yo, 모두 a-yo

Please tell me I'm not the only person coming back here, reliving all the SHINee songs, and falling in love with the band again, just to forget what's happened and try, just for a moment, to live in the past.

Has a song ever sounded so nostalgic? This has aged so well, I love the positive message of it

@fifi7367

It is for me literally. Cause i played this religiously when i was in 2nd grade middle school in 2012 😂 this song immediately brings me back to that time.

@daisyfinley3434

@Fifi for me it was when I was 14 at secondary school!

@chimmason6566

When a song has literally saved your life more than a few times<3
