AKMU “Spring Colors” Lyrics

Hangul

파스텔 톤 크레파스로
마구잡이 그려 놓은
친구의 종합장 속 봄은
분홍 색깔
봉숭아 꽃 물들이고
열 손가락 펴고서
웃어대는 막내의 봄은
붉은 색깔

저 꽃들도 다시 시작하려나
보려고들 삼삼오오 모여드는 게
우린 다 비슷하게 피어났어라
우리는 봄 색깔

나풀대며 춤추는
베란다에 걸린 짧은 옷들의 향연
속옷은 하얀 색깔
꽃꽂이 내 친구 머리카락에
새소리 휘휘휘 온 동네방네에
봄, 봄 모두 새롭게 태어나면

저 꽃들도 다시 시작하려나
보려고들 삼삼오오 모여드는 게
우린 다 비슷하게 피어났어라
우리는 봄 색깔
저 꽃들도 다시 시작하려나
보려고들 삼삼오오 모여드는 게
우린 다 비슷하게 피어났어라
우리는 봄 색깔

우리는 봄 색깔

Translation

With pastel-toned crayons
Drawn all over the pages
The spring in my friend’s sketchbook
Is the color pink
Staining fingernails with balsam flowers
With all ten fingers spread wide
The spring of the laughing youngest child
Is the color red

I wonder if those flowers are starting over again too
Seeing how people gather in small groups to watch them
We have all blossomed in a similar way
We are the colors of spring

Fluttering and dancing
A feast of short clothes hanging on the balcony
The undergarments are the color white
Tucking a flower into my friend’s hair
The sound of birds hwi-hwi-hwi all across the neighborhood
Spring, spring when everything is born anew

I wonder if those flowers are starting over again too
Seeing how people gather in small groups to watch them
We have all blossomed in a similar way
We are the colors of spring
I wonder if those flowers are starting over again too
Seeing how people gather in small groups to watch them
We have all blossomed in a similar way
We are the colors of spring

We are the colors of spring
