TWICE- Say Yes Korean Lyrics + English Translation + Romanization

I heard Twice's Say Yes a few days ago and just viewed their performance today. I love the song, it's really soothing, so I decided to translate this to practise my translation skills. This is my first time translating Korean lyrics to English so please pardon me if there are any mistakes. I tried my best to translate them and please enjoy!

Korean Lyrics + English Translation + Romanization

Would you be my love?
Say yeah
Say yes

왜 자꾸 머리 속 한가득
Why is my mind
wae jakku meori sok hangadeuk

너로 채워져
always filled with you?
neoro chaewojyeo

이해가 가질 않아
I can't understand
ihaega gajil anha

왜 하필이면 너야
Why must it be you?
wae hapirimyeon neoya


주말만 되면 연락해
Please contact me during the weekends
jumalman dwimyeon yeonrakhae

불러내고 싶어
I want to call you out
bulreonaego sipeo

왜 답이 없는 건데
Why don't you answer?
wae dabi eomneun geonde

뭐 하는 건데 대체
What on earth are you doing?
mwo haneun geonde daeche



세상에 이상해
Oh my gosh, this is weird
sesange isanghae

매일같이 보던 너인데 (뭔데)
I see you everyday (Why?)
maeilgachi bodeon neoinde (mwonde)

진짜 나 답지 않게 왜 이러는지
But I'm really becoming not like myself, why is this so?
jinjja na dabji anhge wae ireoneunji



익숙한 이 느낌이 좋아
I like this familiar feeling
iksukhan i neukkimi jo-a

조금 서툰 말투도 좋아
I like your clumsy way of talking
jogeum seotun maltudo jo-a

너는 어때 나 나 나말야 대답해봐
How about you? Answer me
neoneun eoddae na na namarya daedabhaebwa

Yes라고 해줘
Say yes
Yes rago haejwo



자꾸만 더 내 맘이 커져
My heart keeps getting bigger
jakkuman deo nae mami keojyeo

모르겠어 불안도 커져
I don't know, I'm also getting more anxious
moreugesso burando keojyeo

대답해봐 너 너 너말야 어떡해 나
Answer me, what do I do?
daedabhaebwa neo neo neomarya eoddeokhae na

Yes라고 해줘
Say yes
Yes rago haejwo



언제부터야
I don't know since when
eonje buteo ya

확실한 느낌이 와
I confirmed this feeling
hwaksilhan neukkimi wa

너도 맞다고 해봐
Please confirm it too
neodo matdago haebwa

뭐 하는 거야 대체
What on earth are you doing?
mwo haneun geoya daeche

답답해 속상해
Frustrated, hurt
dabdabhae soksanghae

매일같이 보던 너인데 (뭔데)
I see you everyday (Why?)
maeilgachi bodeon neoinde (mwonde)

진짜 어울리지 않게 왜 이러는지
But we're really not suitable, why is this so?
jinjja eoulriji anhge wae ireoneunji

조금 어색하면 뭐 어때
So what if you're a little awkward?
jogeum eosaekhamyeon mwo eoddae

나 역시 걱정되지만
Although I'm worried,
na yeoksi geokjeongdwijiman

지금껏 한번도 못봤던
I've not shown my heart until now
jigeumkkeot hanbeondo motbwatdeon

나를 네게만 네게만
nareul negeman negeman

숨겨왔던 맘 전부 보여줄게
but I will show all of my heart that I've hidden only to you
seumgyeowatdeon mam jeonbu boyeojulge


쉽고 가벼운 고백이 아냐
This isn't an easy and light confession
swibgo gabyeo-un gobaeki anya

지금 내 맘 장난이 아냐
Now my heart isn't joking
jigeum nae mam jangnani anya

너는 어때 나 나 나말야 대답해봐
How about you? Answer me
neoneun eoddae na na namarya daedabhaebwa

Yes라고 해줘

자꾸만 왜 웃고 있는데
Why do you keep smiling?

*Note: The Korean alphabet 'ㄹ' sounds like a mix between 'l' and 'r'. The way it is pronounced also changes depending on how it is used, so sometimes I write either 'l' and 'r' for words with 'ㄹ'. :)
The ㅎ in 좋아 is also silent so we can just read it as "jo-a"

By the way, this is the performance I watched!
