Yo~ babbun iljong jjamne manan chinguya, cham pangapguna, ni aduldo mollaboge kotguna
Pumonim yojonhi konganhashigo kulle opatura ppyamchinun waipudo ddokatne
Kamjjok katne ni saop manghadoni kuse tuktuk tolgo tashi irosotne (jarangsurop guna)
Give me 5, inaieh High 5, hiphabe moja, ni maumanun puja

Oreganmane suljanul pudithyo nokchawa boricha we eh anjunun pilyoeopso. sulul durikyo jjan
Insenge shikyetpanul, sumu pakwi panul dwegama dwegama, ja kaja Time Machine
Ggutggaji kajan Promise, jokuman samushil, yoljonge bulsshi, ddangon mullado mokpyo manun hwakshil

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Shinhwa's song Time Machine is a plea for the past, a message of longing for the moments that have passed. The song sets up a utopian vision of the past that is unravelled through its narrative, with steady reminders that the good times are beyond reach now. The first verse of the song talks about a time-machine that could take one back to the past, to a time of friendly banter and carefree laughter. The singer regrets the loss of his old friend who has moved on and perhaps is now indifferent to their past. He mentions how the simple and cozy pleasures of life, like sipping on warm barley tea and indulging in a slice of watermelon, are elusive to him now. The second verse heightens the sense of nostalgia with the singer wondering if the future can be better than his past, and he calls forth the time machine to take him back to a happier time. The chorus speaks of the desire for a happy ending where the past moments can be relived again, and the song ends on an optimistic note where the singer hopes to reunite with a lost love or friend in the future.


Overall, the song is a wistful and heart-tugging ode to the past, to moments that are forever lost but still cherished. The lyrics remind us that nostalgia is not simply escapism, but a way of recalling the people and moments that defined who we are today.
