NCT DoJaeJung “Perfume” Lyrics

Hangul

Perfume ooh ooh yeah

Ay 너의 하룰
향기롭게 꾸며 줄게
걸음 끝에
내 이름이 떠오르게
네 숨결에 스미고
코 끝에서 맴돌게 해
네 맘에 각인되게
잔향까지 오래

달아 널 생각하는 나의 향은
담아 선명한 내 흔적들을

손목 위에 난
옷깃 위에 난
남겨두려 해
나를 잊을 수 없게
작은 숨결까지
파고들어 난

Ay 방안에 공기에도
널 위한 내 맘을 풍겨
네 온긴 내 것이 돼
Every time is paradise yeah
긴 시간이 흘러도
질릴 수가 없으니까
처음 느낀 경험일 걸
솔직해져 baby

좋아 내 순간들에 있는 네가
Tonight 빈틈 없이 빠져들어

손목 위에 난
옷깃 위에 난
남겨두려 해
나를 잊을 수 없게
작은 숨결까지
파고들어 난

(Baby I’m baby I’m)
Baby I’m comfortable with you
(You know that I’m)
And you’re comfortable with me
(I know that you are)
두 눈을 맞추면 (맞추면)
더 선명해질 테니

Yeah yeah that’s me
짙은 농도에 (oh yeah)
정신이 혼미해 (Love yeah)
Uh 호흡마저 향기로워
너를 보면 모두가 다
나를 떠올려

Yeah 한 방울
Drip Drop (Drip Drop)
너의 기억 속에
흔적을 남겨 (남겨)
시간 지날수록
더 뚜렷해져
네 주위를 맴돌아
24 hour whoa whoa!

Hold tight
서로의 맘을 확인한 밤
Oh 난 이미 스며든 것 같아
이젠 확실히 알아
난 감각이 깨어나
다시 한번 깊이 새겨

손목 위에 난
옷깃 위에 난
남겨두려 해
나를 잊을 수 없게
모든 순간 속에
파고들어 난

Romanized

Translation

Perfume ooh ooh yeah

Ay I’ll fill your day
With heavenly scents
To remind you of
My name at every step
Merging with your breath
Lingering just at the tip of your nose
Etching itself into your mind
As the base-notes go on and on

Sweet is the scent of my thoughts of you
Putting the traces

Leaving ’em on your wrist
On your collar
Gonna let ’em hover
So you can’t forget me
Mixed in with the
Smallest sigh

Ay even in the air in your room
My heart-notes sing just for you
As I claim your warmth
Every time is paradise yeah
Even after the longest time
Won’t fail to thrill you
You’ve never ever felt this
Be honest baby

Sweet, you’re here in all of my moments
Tonight falling in just as time seals shut

Leaving ’em on your wrist
On your collar
Gonna let ’em hover
So you can’t forget me
Mixed in with the
Smallest sigh

(Baby I’m baby I’m)
Baby I’m comfortable with you
(You know that I’m)
And you’re comfortable with me
(I know that you are)
When eyes lock (Lock)
It’s gonna be clearer

Yeah yeah that’s me
Rich fragrance (oh yeah)
Got me light-headed (Love yeah)
Uh your breath is a sweet perfume
And it’s perfumed with me
They can tell

Yeah one drop
Drip Drop (Drip Drop)
Leave my mark
In your memories (Leave it)
Time only makes it
More visible
Hovering around you
24 hour whoa whoa!

Hold tight
The night we looked into each of our hearts
Oh Feels like I’m already blended into you
I know for certain
And my senses awaken
Once more etched deep

Leaving ’em on your wrist
On your collar
Gonna let ’em hover
So you can’t forget me
I’m folding into
Every momen
