aespa “Thirsty” Lyrics

Hangul

Yeah

난 또 너를 두드리고 있어
반짝이는 수면 위를 매일 잔잔하게 일렁이는 sight
알 수 없는 너를 가만 보면 깊은 그 눈빛이 궁금해지면
괜히 거친 바람처럼 나
너를 헤집어
알아 하루종일 넌 비춰 빠짐없이

내 어떤 날씨까지 (Uh)
맑게 개 닿으려도 (Ah-ah)
웃는 너는 (Ah-ah)
So tell me what you wanna, wanna do, boy

너는 닿을수록 thirsty
분명 가득한데 thirsty (Yeah, I got ya, boy)
Sip, sip, sip, it all night
Dip, dip, dip, it all night
얕은 수면보다 훨씬
짙은 너의 마음 끝까지
알고싶어져
Sip, sip, sip in all night
Dip, dip, dip in all night
마음이 커질수록 thirsty

Tell me, tell me 그 빛 그 향기 that’s good
Can’t nobody ever gonna stop me
세상이 멈춘 것 같이 머리에 물결처럼 어질어질
넌 어때 웃지 말고, uh
가만 보지 말고
인정해봐 real 지금 boom, boom trigger

Ay, ay, ay 자꾸 심실나 왠지ay, ay, ay, ya
고픈 마음이면 가끔 (Ah, ah) 미울 만큼 (Ah, ah)
So tell me what you wanna, wanna do, boy

너는 닿을수록 thirsty
분명 가득한데 thirsty (Yeah, I got ya, boy)
Sip, sip, sip, it all night
Dip, dip, dip, it all night
얕은 수면보다 훨씬
짙은 너의 마음 끝까지
알고싶어져
마음이 커질수록 thirsty

철없다는 생각은 no, no
이것도 너를 위한 감정인 거야 (Sip, sip, sip, sip)
그래서 나는 (Sip, sip, sip, sip)
So thirsty, thirsty, thirsty
Talking bout it, talking bout it
솔직하게 전부
수면 깊이 감춰놓은 네 마음으로 적셔 날
네 눈 속의 내가 좋아
그래 계속 욕심이 나
Telling me that 너도 아마
Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you
Don’t you, baby

괜한 투정처럼 thirsty
아니 사실인걸 thirsty (Yeah, I got ya, boy)
Sip, sip, sip in all night
Dip, dip, dip in all night
여린 물결보다 고이
너의 마음을 어루만진 정해져있어
Sip, sip, sip in all night
Dip, dip, dip in all night
그래 너만 보면 thirsty

Woah-ah-ah (I’ll make ya)
Woah-ah-ah (I’ll make ya)
Woah-ah-ah (Woah, baby)
마음이 커질수록 thirsty

Translation

Yeah

I’m tapping on you again
The sign gently swaying
On the sparkling water surface every day
(Look) at me

When I look at the unknown you
I get curious about your deep eyes
Like a rough wind for no reason
I mess with you

I know
You shine all day without fail
No matter what weather (uh)
I try to reach (ah ah)
You smile (ah ah)
So tell me what you wanna, wanna do, boy

The more I touch you, the more thirsty you get
I’m sure you’ve drank, but you’re thirsty
Yeah I gotcha’ boy
Sip sip sipping all night
More deep deep deep in all night
I want to know your feelings
Which are much deeper
Than just a shallow sleep
Sip sip sipping all night
More deep deep deep in all night
The bigger the feelings, the more thirsty you get

Tell me, tell me, that light, that scent
Feel so good, can’t nobody ever gonna stop me
Like the moment the world stops
Like waves in your hair ding
How about you? Don’t laugh, uh
Don’t just look at me
Admit it’s real
Right now, boom, boom trigger

I for some reason, I’m annoyed, I
Enough that sometimes (ah ah)
I put it off (ah ah)
So tell me what you wanna, wanna do boy

The more I touch you, the more thirsty you get
(You make me make me thirsty)
I’m sure you’ve drank, but you’re thirsty
Yeah I gotcha’ boy
Sip sip sipping all night
More deep deep deep in all night
I want to know your feelings
Which are much deeper
Than just a shallow sleep
Sip sip sipping all night
More deep deep deep in all night
The bigger the feelings, the more thirsty you get

The idea of being immature is a no-no
This is also a feeling reserved for you
(Sip, sip, sip, sip) So I
(Sip, sip, sip) So thirsty thirsty thirsty

Talking bout it, talking bout it
To be honest
Everything is soaked
In your heart hidden deep in the water
I like the me in your eyes
Yeah, I keep getting greedy
Telling me that maybe you too
Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you
Don’t you, baby

As if I’ve complained for no reason, I’m thirsty
No, it’s true, I’m thirsty
Yeah I gotcha’ boy
Sip sip sipping all night
More deep deep deep in all night
(You’re more deep in all night)
I’ve decided to
caress your heart
More softly than a rolling wave
Sip sip sipping all night
More deep deep deep in all night
Yes, when I see you, I get thirsty

Woah (I’ll make you)
Woah (I’ll make you)
Woah
Woah baby
My heart is broken, I’m thirsty
