MAMAMOO “4 Flowers” Lyrics

Hangul

Ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Ooh

화려하게 빛날 때
활짝 피운 꽃은 지겠지, yeah
한순간 깊게 물들어
봄날처럼 스치듯 안녕
그을린 채로 깊게 패인
World turns blue, I’m the only one in pain?
날카롭게 베인 상처 틈에 갇힌 채
내내 계속돼 밤새 거친 호흡
One for the memories, two for the flame
Three for the silence, four for the shame
그 계절이 지나간 그 자리에

꽃은 피고 꽃은 다시 지고
이별 뒤에 우린 더 사랑하고
흩어져도 뿌리는 하난 걸
이별 그 후에 다시 피우는 꽃

Four flowers, eh, eh, eh
As petals shed, eh, eh
Four flowers, eh, eh, eh, mm
Four flowers, eh, eh, eh
As petals shed, eh, eh
Four flowers, eh, eh, eh

Falling petals, deeper traces
절대 멈추지 않을 flow
멀어졌던 way-ay-ay
웅크린 후에야 breathe again-ain-ain (고개를 들어)
끝이 끝나지 않도록, oh
You’re a flower that fell, scattered in the breeze
I’m the soil beneath, keeping all your memories
만남 이별 다 똑같지만
확실한 건 오직 내 결정
One for the memories, two for the flame
Three for the silence, four for the shame
우리가 지나온 그 자리에

꽃은 피고 꽃은 다시 지고
이별 뒤에 우린 더 사랑하고
흩어져도 뿌리는 하난 걸
이별 그 후에 다시 피우는 꽃

(Only for flowers) 여기 다시 그 위로
(Only for flowers) 흩날리던 기억들 다 모아
Don’t let them slip away
We bring the light inside our hearts
새롭게 다시 피어나
Four flowers (I’m still here)
Four flowers (Burning red)
Four flowers (Never disappear)
Four flowers (Ooh)
Four flowers
Four flowers
Four flowers, eh, eh, eh
As petals shed, eh, eh
Four flowers, eh, eh, eh

꽃은 피고 꽃은 다시 지고
이별 뒤에 우린 더 사랑하고

Translation

Ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Ooh

When it shines in all its glory
A flower in full bloom will eventually wither, yeah
A deeply stained moment
Goodbye, like a gentle springtime breeze
Deeply scarred, like scorched remains
World turns blue, I’m the only one in pain?
Trapped within the sharp cuts of my wounds
Gasping for air all night long
One for the memories, two for the flame
Three for the silence, four for the shame
In the place where that season has passed

Flowers bloom and flowers wilt again
After parting, we love even more
Even scattered, we share the same root
A flower blooms again after the farewell

Four flowers, eh, eh, eh
As petals shed, eh, eh
Four flowers, eh, eh, eh, mm
Four flowers, eh, eh, eh
As petals shed, eh, eh
Four flowers, eh, eh, eh

Falling petals, deeper traces
A flow that never stops
The way that drifted way-ayy-ayy
Only after curling up can I breathe again-ain-ain (Lift my head)
So the end doesn’t really end, oh
You’re a flower that fell, scattered in the breeze
I’m the soil beneath, keeping all your memories
Meetings and partings are all the same
The only certainty is my decision
One for the memories, two for the flame
Three for the silence, four for the shame

In the place we passed through
Flowers bloom and flowers wilt again
After parting, we love even more
Even scattered, we share the same root
A flower blooms again after the farewell

(Only for flowers) Here again, back to the top
(Only for flowers) Gather all the scattered memories
Don’t let them slip away
We bring the light inside our hearts
Bloom anew once more
Four flowers (I’m still here)
Four flowers (Burning red)
Four flowers (Never disappear)
Four flowers (Ooh)
Four flowers
Four flowers
Four flowers, eh, eh, eh
As petals shed, eh, eh
Four flowers, eh, eh, eh

Flowers bloom and flowers wilt away again
After parting, we love even more
