Wonder Girls “Rewind” Lyrics

Hangul

미처 몰랐던 니 모습
그렇게 날 두고 떠나
마주잡은 두 손이 차갑게
식을 때쯤 우린 얼어버려

우 우 우
우 우 우 예
눈 감아 나 지금
널 감아 나 다시
우 우 우
우 우 우 예
그렇게 넌 사라져가

Rewind Rewind Rewind
니가 거꾸로 흘러
흐를수록 아름다워
Rewind Rewind Rewind
머무르고 싶어
늦었단 걸 알지만

대답 좀 해봐 자꾸 날
숨 막히게 할거야
이건 잘못된 거라
몇 번을 말해봐도
들리질 않아

우 우 우
우 우 우 예
눈 감아 나 지금
널 감아 나 다시
우 우 우
우 우 우 예
그렇게 넌 사라져가

Rewind Rewind Rewind
니가 거꾸로 흘러
흐를수록 아름다워
Rewind Rewind Rewind
머무르고 싶어
늦었단 걸 알지만

잊고만 있던 사소한 행복
지우고 싶던 크나큰 잘못
날 떠나기 전 행복했던 그 때로
지금 날 잃게 된다 해도 Okay
Before the 엔딩 크레딧
첨부터 다시 찍어 이 무비
다 엎어 기승전 너로 족해
웃을 수 없다면 결관 뻔해
Edit Edit Edit 다시 첫 씬부터
Let it Let it be 아냐 되돌려
모든 잘못 꿰어 어떻게든 메워
너만이 날 가득 채워
아름다울 수 없담 다 태워

Rewind Rewind Rewind
니가 거꾸로 흘러
흐를수록 아름다워
Rewind Rewind Rewind
머무르고 싶어
늦었단 걸 알지만

Translation

I didn’t know this about you
You left me
When our hands grew cold
We just froze up

U U U
U U U ye
I’m closing my eyes right now
I’m rewinding you again
U U U
U U U ye
Then you’re disappearing

Rewind Rewind Rewind
The more you go backwards
The more beautiful it is
Rewind Rewind Rewind
I wanna stay there
But I know it’s too late

Answer me
Are you gonna keep suffocating me?
I tell myself
That this is wrong
But I can’t hear it

U U U
U U U ye
I’m closing my eyes right now
U U U
U U U ye
I’m rewinding you again
Then you’re disappearing

Rewind Rewind Rewind
The more you go backwards
The more beautiful it is
Rewind Rewind Rewind
I wanna stay there
But I know it’s too late

We forgot about the little things that made us happy
I want to erase that big mistake
Before you left me, back when we were happy
Even if I lose myself now okay
Before the ending credit
Let’s film this movie from the beginning
End the match, you’re enough for me
If we can’t laugh, the result is obvious
Edit Edit Edit, back to the first scene
Let it Let it be, no rewind it
Cut out all the bad things, fill it up somehow
Only you can fill me up
If it can’t be beautiful, burn it all up

Rewind Rewind Rewind
The more you go backwards
The more beautiful it is
Rewind Rewind Rewind
I wanna stay there
But I know it’s too late

Wonder Girls “Rewind” Meaning

“Rewind” by Wonder Girls is a nostalgic song about regret, heartbreak, and the wish to turn back time. The lyrics reflect on a relationship that has ended and the lingering desire to fix the mistakes that led to its downfall.

A central theme of the song is the idea of rewriting the past. Using movie-related imagery, the narrator imagines editing scenes, starting over, and changing the story before it reaches its unhappy ending. This metaphor captures the universal feeling of wishing for a second chance.

The lyrics also explore the bittersweet nature of memories. While the narrator remembers the happiness and love they once shared, those cherished moments only make the pain of the breakup feel even stronger. The contrast between past joy and present loss drives the song’s emotional depth.

Overall, “Rewind” is a heartfelt reflection on love, regret, and the longing to undo what cannot be changed. Its retro-inspired sound and emotional storytelling create a powerful sense of nostalgia and yearning.
