RIIZE “Memories” Lyrics

Hangul

uh, yeah
Uh-huh, that’s right

어렸을 적 외쳐, “I’m a star”
외딴 거긴 Mars
땀방울 어린, 우리 추억 어린
사진 속 그 미소는 it’s all you

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
난 흠뻑 빠졌었지, fall in, I’m fallin’
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
다시 또 추억을 만들자, uh

Big flows, big flows, 큰 걸음을 걷지
They soft, they soft, 난 멋있고 싶지
For sure, for sure, 우린 하나였지
East to the south, to the north, to the west side (we RIIZE)

I don’t wanna waste all these feelings
I gotta taste 이 바람을
난 놓치고 싶지 않아
반짝이는 우리인 거야

Don’t wanna waste all these meanings
힘껏 안고 꿈을 꾸네
내가 제일 좋아하는 거야
너와 나, 우리 memories

Uh, 온 우주는 나만의 stages
모두를 행복하게 할 나의 playlist
세상의 가운데 손에 쥔 chance
소리 질러

가끔 외롭던 그날들, 난 홀로
지금 이 기분은 따스한 위로
해보자 말했지 함께잖니?
이렇게 영원히

Big flows, big flows, 딱 붙어 있을게
They soft, they soft, 나 길 되어 줄게
For sure, for sure, 더 멀리 가볼게
East to the south, to the north, to the west side (we RIIZE!)

I don’t wanna waste all these feelings
I gotta taste 이 바람을
난 놓치고 싶지 않아
반짝이는 우리인 거야

Don’t wanna waste all these meanings
힘껏 안고 꿈을 꾸네
내가 제일 좋아하는 거야
너와 나, 우리 memories

가슴이 뛰는 이 감정을 원했지
이 느낌 memories 아름다운 dreams
We shine, yeah, 들어 봐
You’re on fire, know I want ya

Want ya! 흩어진 퍼즐의 완성
빛나던 계절 이젠 모두 외쳐 awesome
우리들만의 색으로 물든 마음
시작이라고 말하고 싶은 거야

시간이 거꾸로 가, 다시 시작한대도
바꾸고 싶지 않아 memories (세상은 우리 것)

I don’t wanna waste all these feelings
I gotta taste 이 바람을
난 놓치고 싶지 않아
반짝이는 우리인 거야

Don’t wanna waste all these meanings
힘껏 안고 꿈을 꾸네 (ooh)
내가 제일 좋아하는 거야
너와 나, 우리 memories

Translation

uh, yeah
Uh-huh, that’s right

Me as a kid would declare, I’m a star
Lonely as Mars
Heart and soul went into our memories
That smile in those snapshots, it’s all you
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I was all in, fall in I’m fallin’
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Let’s make memories again

Big flows, big flows
Takin’ big steps
They soft, they soft
Wanna have rizz
For sure, for sure
We were one
East to the south
To the north to the west side
We RIIZE

I don’t wanna waste all these feelings
These desires, I gotta taste
Don’t wanna miss it
That’s us, the glitterati
Don’t wanna waste all these meanings
Hold tight and dream on
It’s what I love the most
You with me, our memories

Touring the cosmos on private stages
My personal playlist to make y’all happy
At the center of the world take my chance
Make some noise
Days with patches of loneliness, by myself
What I’m feeling now is warm healing
Told ya, we gotta try, see, we’re still together
Like this forever

Big flows, big flows
Gonna stick right by your side
They soft, they soft
I’ll be your path forward
For sure, for sure
Gonna go farther
East to the south
To the north to the west side
We RIIZE

I don’t wanna waste all these feelings
These desires, I gotta taste
Don’t wanna miss it
That’s us, the glitterati
Don’t wanna waste all these meanings
Hold tight and dream on
It’s what I love the most
You with me, our memories

Want these feelings that jumpstart my heart
These sensations are memories
Beautiful dreams
We shine, yeah, listen up
You’re on fire, know I want ya
Want ya like that last piece of the puzzle
We all have our season to shine
Everyone shout now, awesome
Hearts aglow with our special colors
Wanna declare this the start of something

Time runs backwards
Even if we start all over again
Wanna change nothing
Memories
The world is ours

I don’t wanna waste all these feelings
These desires, I gotta taste
Don’t wanna miss it
That’s us, the glitterati
Don’t wanna waste all these meanings
Hold tight and dream on
It’s what I love the most
You with me, our memories
