aespa “To The Girls” Lyrics
Hangul
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
You won’t see no tears ruin our makeup
착각 속에 빠진 걱정은 거둬 (huh)
저 문을 열고 네가 사라져도 doesn’t matter (ooh)
No, we don’t have time 지루한 거짓말
Just be quiet (quiet, quiet)
‘Cause it’s bad girl o’ clock
So sit down and watch
Yeah, this is what we are
깨어나 그만 we’re everything you’re not
This one goes out to the girls (girls)
My sisters all over the world
This one goes out to the girls (girls)
All messed up and ready to burn
Tasting that sugar so sweet
We’re harder than steel
Freaking unreal
This one goes out to the girls (girls)
This one goes out to the girls (girls)
We’re sick of your talk, all we hear is blah-blah-blah-blah
So go bite your tongue and say no more
헛된 상상 속 뻔한 얘기들도, now we’re fed up
No, we don’t have time
여전한 거짓말 just be quiet (be quiet)
This one goes out to the girls (girls)
My sisters all over the world
This one goes out to the girls (girls)
All messed up and ready to burn
Tasting that sugar so sweet
We’re harder than steel
Freaking unreal
This one goes out to the girls (girls)
This one goes out to the girls (girls)
Tick tock 멎지 않아
Tick tock 우리의 시간
Just sit down and watch
‘Cause nothing can make us stop (yeah, yeah)
Tick tock 계속 나아가
Tick tock 우린 더 빛나
착각은 그만 we’re everything you’re not
This one goes out to the girls (girls)
My sisters all over the world
This one goes out to the girls (girls)
All messed up and ready to burn
Tasting that sugar so sweet
We’re harder than steel
Freaking unreal
This one goes out to the girls (girls)
