Two Words
Wendy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
나의 눈빛은 그대만 봐요
눈망울에 숨겨놓은 그대 이야기
이젠 조금씩 내게 느껴져요
왜 나였는지 언제인지
중요하지 않아요
지금 이 순간 지금 내 곁에
사랑이란 두 글자 정말 이상해
귓가에 스쳐만 가도
가슴이 떨리는 내 마음을 어떡할까요
날리는 바람에 흘려 보내봐도
다시 꽃피는 이 사랑을
아무 생각 말아요
그대 걷는 길 어디라 해도
내 마음이 그대 머문 자리에 나를
데려다 줄 테니 걱정이 없죠
어둠이 내린 저 하늘에
밝게 빛나고 있는
별처럼 내 맘이 그대의 길을 비추죠
사랑이란 두 글자 정말 이상해
귓가에 스쳐만 가도
가슴이 떨리는 내 마음을 어떡할까요
날리는 바람에 흘려 보내봐도
다시 꽃피죠
수 없는 날들을 기다려 왔던
내 맘이 그대에게
한 걸음씩 가까워 지고 있죠
사랑이란 두 글자 왜 이래
떠올려 보기만 해도 심장이
떨리는 내 마음이 왜 이럴까요
환한 햇살 속에 숨겨 보려 해도
눈치 없이 다시 피어나죠

My heart, for you
한 걸음씩 가까워 지고 있죠
Step by step, is getting closer to you
사랑이란 두 글자 왜 이래
Why is the word 'love' like this?
떠올려 보기만 해도 심장이
Just thinking about it makes my heart
떨리는 내 마음이 왜 이럴까요
Why does my heart keep trembling like this?
환한 햇살 속에 숨겨 보려 해도
Even if I try to hide it in the bright sunshine
눈치 없이 다시 피어나죠
It blooms again without my knowing

Y’all don’t understand. She’s the ONLY female artist from her gen to have an ost every year starting from her pre-debut days (before Red Velvet debuted in 2014) until today. She is this Gen’s OST Queen.
@synystyr11
She's really the queen of OST of her generation. I don't even watch any of the dramas where she participated in the OST but i can't help but keep listening to them.
@ll_story8892
Same. I don't even watch beauty inside but goodbye is top tier. No wonder her name is top searched whenever the drama airing, waiting for goodbye to released 😳
@synystyr11
@@ll_story8892 YES, goodbye is actually my fav among her OSTs, but they are all just so good, even the ones sang with Seulgi. I actually tried watching beauty inside cause of goodbye but couldn't keep up as i never enjoyed romance kdramas.
@gracewood6768
start up is good! It's not much romance for me unlike th others. If you want to know about start-ups, please watch! :) (im a developer so haha it made me entertain though )
@kfp-deliveryboy2926
If a singer can easily make you cry then you know she's a special human being.
