Red Velvet “Blue Lemonade” Lyrics

Hangul

Hmm ah ye-yeah
(Pop, pop, pop) Ah ah ah ah
(Pop, pop, pop) Ah ah ah ah

정말 투명해
너와 내 눈빛 멈춘 그 사이
파도가 밀려오네
살짝 푸른빛이 돌고 입엔 상큼함이 퍼져

내 마음을 흔들어 저
병에 담긴 탄산수처럼
또 내 안에 낯선 느낌
좀 더 너를 따라줘 oh you

컵 한가득 달짝지근 바다 향이 나
갓 따온 레몬을 짜 넣은 것처럼
나 감출 수 없어 네가 좋은 걸
파란이 일어나 널 만난 그 순간
(Pop, pop, pop) Ah ah ah ah
(Pop, pop, pop) Ah ah ah ah

또 토끼 눈이 돼 난
네가 가까워지고 그럴 때마다
따끔한 전기가 막 여기저기 지나가

차가워 또 짜릿해
이건 내가 바라왔던 그런 사랑이야 분명

단둘이서 이 여름을
남김없이 마시고 싶어 둘이서
함께라면 어디든지
온통 너로 물들어 with you (눈이 부셔 beautiful)

컵 한가득 달짝지근 바다 향이 나
갓 따온 레몬을 짜 넣은 것처럼
나 감출 수 없어 네가 좋은 걸
파란이 일어나 널 만난 그 순간
(Pop, pop, pop) Ah ah ah ah
(Pop, pop, pop) Ah ah ah ah

Hmm it’s all right
네 눈에 비친 내 모습
널 향한 내 맘 짙은 blue
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh whoa oh whoa

컵 한가득 달짝지근 바다 향이 나
삼켜도 차올라 곧 넘칠 것처럼
나 말해야겠어 네가 좋은 걸
파란이 일어나 널 안은 그 순간
(Pop, pop, pop) Ah ah ah ah
(Pop, pop, pop) Ah ah ah ah

정말 완벽해
더 바랄 게 없지 이렇게 둘이
여름밤 내 입안에
녹아드는 우리 사랑이란 느낌

Romanized

Hmm ah, yeah yeah
(Pop pop pop) Ah ah ah ah
(Pop pop pop) Ah ah ah ah

Translation

Hmm ah, yeah yeah
(Pop pop pop) Ah ah ah ah
(Pop pop pop) Ah ah ah ah

It’s so clear
The space between your eyes and mine
A wave is coming over us
A slightly blue light spins and freshness spreads over our lips

You shake up my heart
Like the bottle of soda there
There’s an unfamiliar feeling in me
Pour yourself out more, oh you

Fill my cup, I smell the sweet scent of the ocean (Pop pop)
As if you squeezed freshly picked lemons in it (Pop pop)
I can’t hide it, I like you (Pop pop)
Shades of blue arise, the moment I see you

(Pop pop pop) Ah ah ah ah
(Pop pop pop) Ah ah ah ah

I’m getting bunny eyes again
Every time you get closer to me
Electricity sparks and I feel numb all over
Hmm, it’s cold and electric
This is definitely the love I wanted

Just us two, I want to drink up
Every drop of this summer (Us two)
If we’re together, I can go anywhere
I’m colored by you, with you (Dazzling, beautiful)

Fill my cup, I smell the sweet scent of the ocean (Pop pop)
As if you squeezed freshly picked lemons in it (Pop pop)
I can’t hide it, I like you (Pop pop)
Shades of blue arise, the moment I see you

(Pop pop pop) Ah ah ah ah
(Pop pop pop) Ah ah ah ah

Hmm (Yeah)
It’s all right yeah (It’s all right)

I see my reflection in your eyes
My heart for you is a thick shade of blue
Ooh yeah yeah yeah (Pop pop)
Oh (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Oh yeah

Fill my cup, I smell the sweet scent of the ocean (Pop pop)
I keep drinking but you keep rising as if it’ll overflow (Pop pop)
I must tell you, I like you (Pop pop)
Shades of blue arise, the moment I hug you

(Pop pop pop) Ah ah ah ah
(Pop pop pop) Ah ah ah ah

It’s so perfect
Nothing more I want than just us two
Summer night
Our love is melting in my mouth
