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

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

언제부터야
I don't know since when
eonje buteo ya

확실한 느낌이 와

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
Say yes
Yes rago haejwo


자꾸만 왜 웃고 있는데
Why do you keep smiling?

모르겠어 뭐 하는건데
I don't know, what are you doing?
moreugesso mwo haneungeonde

*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!

Essay: Describe a crowded shopping mall during a sale.

[Sec 2 Model Essay] It was a sweltering Saturday afternoon, just the perfect weather to seek refuge in the air-conditioned neighbourhood shopping mall just a stone's throw away from my home. As I entered the shopping mall, Jurong Point , the cold air swept across my face, leaving a refreshing sensation.   The scene that greeted me was that the place was bustling with activities.

There were also a few couples who strolled hand in hand lovingly, looking around casually for suitable clothes to try. The place was crammed like sardines and there was hardly any space to move. Sometimes the customers' skin even brushed against each other!   I then proceeded to the second floor via the escalator after scanning the crowd briefly. Over at the second floor, it was relatively less crowded as it was the typical lunch hour, so the customers were enjo...
