I'm in da da da danger 피노키오!
Remember me a-woo!
어디 보자 읽어보자 네 맘을 털어보자
에메랄드 훔쳐 박은 눈동자 스륵스륵
머리부터 발끝까지 스캔 해 징징윙윙
칼날보다 차갑게 그 껍질 벗겨내
(난 지금 danger)
한 겹 두 겹 페스츄리처럼 얇게요
(Danger) 스며들어 틈 사이 꿀처럼
너는 피노키오
너 밖에 모르는 내가 됐어
아슬아슬 위태위태 시작되는 쇼!
따랏따랏 땃따따 짜릿짜릿 할거다
궁금투성이의 너 (딱 꼼짝 마라 너)
조각조각 땃따따 꺼내보고 땃따따
맘에 들게 널 다시 조립할거야
I'm in da danger 피노키오!
Re-mem-mem-mem-ber me 피노키오! Remember me
나는 의사 선생님은 아냐 그냥 널 알고 싶어
너란 미지의 대륙의 발견자 콜럼버스
심장이 막 뛰어 뛰어 내 맘을 어떻게 해
어릴 적 아빠랑 샀던 인형처럼
(난 지금 danger)
한 입 두 입 마카롱보다 달게요
(Danger) 스며들어 틈 사이 샤르륵
(너는 피노키오)
너 밖에 모르는 내가 됐어
아슬아슬 위태위태 시작되는 쇼! 쇼! 쇼!

궁금투성이의 너 (딱 꼼짝마라 너)
조각조각 땃따따 부셔보고 땃따따
맘에 들게 널 다시 조립할거야
암호의 미로 헤맸지 그건 널 열기 위한 key
매트릭스 덮인 껍질을 벗겨내
Oh! I just wanna tell you I'm in danger now
I'm in danger, in danger, remember me danger
누가 봐도 넌 완벽한 걸
너는 다시 태어난거야 woo wow
자 이제 입술에 숨을 불어 넣어

The lyrics of f(x)'s "Pinocchio" tell the story of a person who is infatuated with someone, comparing them to the fictional character of Pinocchio. The songwriter paints a picture of a curious and elusive person who may be hard to get to know, but is still irresistible to this person, who proclaims "you're the only one I know". The lyrics seem to have a slightly obsessive quality, with the singer scanning the other person from head to toe and wanting to "disassemble" them to put them back together again.

(Remember me) I'm in da da da danger 피노키오!
I want you to remember me, as I am currently in great danger!
어디 보자 읽어보자 네 맘을 털어보자
Let's take a look and read what's written in your heart!
에메랄드 훔쳐 박은 눈동자 스륵스륵
Your emerald eyes which steal gazes away without anyone noticing
머리부터 발끝까지 스캔 해 징징윙윙
You're scanned from head to toe, beep beep boop boop
칼날보다 차갑게 그 껍질 벗겨내
Peeling off your cold exterior, colder than a blade
(난 지금 danger) 한 겹 두 겹 페스츄리처럼 얇게요
I'm in danger right now, and I feel as thin as a pastry with multiple layers
(Danger) 스며들어 틈 사이 꿀처럼
In danger, I'm oozing in between the cracks like honey
너는 피노키오
You're Pinocchio
너 밖에 모르는 내가 됐어
I have become someone who only knows you
아슬아슬 위태위태 시작되는 쇼!
A thrilling and dangerous show has just begun!
따랏따랏 땃따따 짜릿짜릿 할거다
Tickle tickle, I'm going to make you excited

Taking out every piece and putting it back together

I'll assemble you back again, so it'll be pleasing to your heart
나는 의사 선생님은 아냐 그냥 널 알고 싶어
I'm not a doctor teacher, I just want to know you
너란 미지의 대륙의 발견자 콜럼버스
You're the Christopher Columbus of unexplored lands
심장이 막 뛰어 뛰어 내 맘을 어떻게 해
My heart is racing so fast, how can I handle these feelings?
어릴 적 아빠랑 샀던 인형처럼
Like the doll I bought when I was little with my father
(난 지금 danger) 한 입 두 입 마카롱보다 달게요
I'm in danger right now, and I'm sweeter than a bite of a macaron
(Danger) 스며들어 틈 사이 샤르륵
In danger, I'm seeping through the cracks like something sharp
아슬아슬 위태위태 시작되는 쇼! 쇼! 쇼!
A thrilling and dangerous show has just begun! Show! Show! Show!
암호의 미로 헤맸지 그건 널 열기 위한 key
I was lost in a maze of secrets, and it's the key to unlock you
매트릭스 덮인 껍질을 벗겨내
Peeling off the shell covered in a matrix
Oh! I just wanna tell you I'm in danger now
Oh! I just want to let you know that I'm in danger now
누가 봐도 넌 완벽한 걸
To anyone's eyes, you're completely perfect
너는 다시 태어난거야 woo wow
You're born again, woo wow
자 이제 입술에 숨을 불어 넣어
Now blow your breath onto your lips
꿈꿔 왔잖아 피노키오
You've always dreamed of it, Pinocchio
Remember me (remember me)
Remember me (remember me)

올만에 추억의 노래 잘 듣고 가요 ... 설리 ( 최진리) 씨 삼가 고인의 명복을 빕니다 .
망할 악플러들 사람고마 씹고 껌사서 껌이사 씹어
나쁜인간들 대체 법은 누구를 위해 존재 하나요 .... 에휴 .. 슬퍼여 .. 맘이 넘 아파요 ㅠ.ㅠ 불쌍해 ..
그곳엔 악플러들 없을텐데
부디 제발 더이상 연예인들 자살 하는 사람좀
안생겼음 좋겠어요 ...
맘아퍼서 3일동안 울었어요 😭😭😢😭

I came here back for Sulli.
Such a bright star.
Gone too soon.
First, there was JongHyun. Then, Sulli.
How is this acceptable?
Sulli dearest, Whatever you've went through, it must be tough.
Sorry if we didn't do enough for you.
