언제부터였을까

eonjebuteoyeosseulkka

When did it start

익숙해져 버린 내 하루 일관

iksukhaejyeo beorin nae haru il-gwan

My days have become so routine and familiar

초점이 좀 흐릿해진 눈과

chojeomi jom heuritaejin nungwa

Eyes a little out of focus

피곤함 때문에 축 처진 심장

pigonham ttaemune chuk cheojin simjang

And a heart that sags from exhaustion

어떤 재밌는 게임도 뻔해

eotteon jaeminneun geimdo ppeonhae

Even any fun game feels predictable

맘에도 없는 취미 생활은 또 노잼

mamedeo eomneun chwimi saenghwareun tto nojaem

Hobbies I don't even care about are no fun again

조금 어른이 되었단 걸 실감해

jogeum eoreuni dwieotdan geol silgamhae

I realize I've become a bit more grown up

담에 봐 미안 나 오늘 바빠

dame bwa mian na oneul bappa

See you later, sorry I'm busy today

어디긴 집이야

eodigin jibiya

Where else would I be, at home

요즘 누굴 만나도 boring

yojeum nugul mannado boring

Lately meeting anyone feels boring

아무 생각 없이

amu saenggak eopsi

Without thinking about anything

보내는 시간만

bonaeneun siganman

The time I just let pass

늘어나고 있어 공허해

neureonago isseo gongheohae

Keeps increasing, I feel empty

어릴 적 나처럼

eoril jeok nacheoreom

Like when I was a kid

그냥 막 살래 나

geunyang mak sallae na

I just want to live recklessly

때려치워

ttaeryeochiwo

Just quit it

또 시작해

tto sijakhae

And start again

시간이 지나보면

sigani jinabomyeon

When time passes and you look back

이건 아무것도 아냐

igeon amugeotto anya

This is nothing at all

지금 나의

jigeum naye

My current

큰 paradox

keun paradox

Big paradox

거대하게 느껴져도

geodaehage neukkyeojyeodo

Even if it feels huge

전혀 상관없어 사실

jeonhyeo sanggwaneopseo sasil

It actually doesn't matter at all

I’m butterfly I’m butterfly

I'm butterfly I'm butterfly

I'm a butterfly, I'm a butterfly

I’m butterfly now I know

I'm butterfly now I know

I'm a butterfly, now I know

비록 지금은 날개가 없어

birok jigeumeun nalgaega eopseo

Even though I don't have wings right now

바라만 본다고 해도

baraman bondago haedo

Even if I'm only watching

I’m butterfly I’m butterfly

I'm butterfly I'm butterfly

I'm a butterfly, I'm a butterfly

I’m butterfly and I know

I'm butterfly and I know

I'm a butterfly and I know

버거워 보여도 이 왕관

beogeowo boyeodo i wanggwan

Even if this crown looks heavy

새로워진 나를 반겨

saerowojin nareul bangyeo

It welcomes the new me

신상 옷을 다 걸쳐도

sinsang oseul da geolchyeodo

Even if I put on all the newest clothes

나아지지 않아

naajiji ana

It doesn't get better

잠깐 좋았던 기분

jamkkan joatdeon gibun

The brief good feeling

다시 구겨지고

dasi gugyeojigo

Gets crumpled again

다시 생각해 보니

dasi saenggakhae boni

Thinking again

빨리 크고 싶던

ppalli keugo sipdeon

The kid who wanted to grow up fast

아이는 어디

aineun eodi

Where is that child now

남은 건 쳇바퀴 같은 일상

nameun geon chetbakwi gateun ilsang

What's left is a hamster-wheel routine

요즘 누굴 만나도 boring

yojeum nugul mannado boring

These days whoever I meet, it's boring

아무 생각 없이

amu saenggak eopsi

Mindlessly

보내는 시간만

bonaeneun siganman

Only time I waste

늘어나고 있어 공허해

neureonago isseo gongheohae

Keeps growing, it's hollow

어릴 적 나처럼

eoril jeok nacheoreom

Like my younger self

그냥 막 살래 나

geunyang mak sallae na

I just want to live freely

때려치워

ttaeryeochiwo

Let it go

또 시작해

tto sijakhae

Then begin again

시간이 지나보면

sigani jinabomyeon

When time goes by

이건 아무것도 아냐

igeon amugeotto anya

This will be nothing

지금 나의

jigeum naye

Right now my

큰 paradox

keun paradox

Big paradox

거대하게 느껴져도

geodaehage neukkyeojyeodo

Even if it feels enormous

전혀 상관없어 사실

jeonhyeo sanggwaneopseo sasil

In truth it doesn't matter at all

I’m butterfly I’m butterfly

I'm butterfly I'm butterfly

I'm butterfly, I'm butterfly

I’m butterfly now I know

I'm butterfly now I know

I'm butterfly, now I know

비록 지금은 날개가 없어

birok jigeumeun nalgaega eopseo

Though I have no wings yet

바라만 본다고 해도

baraman bondago haedo

Even if I just gaze

I’m butterfly I’m butterfly

I'm butterfly I'm butterfly

I'm butterfly, I'm butterfly

I’m butterfly and I know

I'm butterfly and I know

I'm butterfly and I know

버거워 보여도 이 왕관

beogeowo boyeodo i wanggwan

This crown may seem burdensome

새로워진 나를 반겨

saerowojin nareul bangyeo

But it greets the renewed me

나다운 게

nadaun ge

What it means to be myself

도대체 뭔 소린지

dodaeche mweon sorinji

I had no idea what it meant

몰라 억눌러온 걸

molla eongnulleoon geol

So I tried to let out what I'd suppressed

시원히 꺼내나 봤어

siwonhi kkeonaena bwasseo

In a refreshing way

별거 없더라고 난 뭐

byeolgeo eopdeorago nan mwo

It was nothing much, I thought

우주라도 망할 줄 알았는데

ujurado manghal jul aranneunde

I thought the universe would collapse

그냥 솔직할 줄 아는 게 정말로

geunyang soljikhal jul aneun ge jeongmallo

Simply knowing how to be honest

엄청 어렵더라고

eomcheong eoryeopdeorago

Turned out to be incredibly hard

oh please

oh please

Oh please

시작이 반이지 뭐해

sijagi baniji mwohae

Starting is half the battle, so what

등 떠밀어줄게 go on now

deung tteomireojulge go on now

I'll push your back, go on now

날갯짓해

nalgaetjithae

Flap your wings

발버둥 쳐도 난 좋아

balbeodung chyeodo nan joa

Even if you flail, I love it

비행할 준비를 마쳐

bihaenghal junbireul machyeo

Finish preparing for flight

I’m grown up butterfly

I'm grown up butterfly

I'm grown up, butterfly

I’m butterfly I’m butterfly

I'm butterfly I'm butterfly

I'm butterfly, I'm butterfly

now I know

now I know

Now I know

I’m butterfly I’m butterfly

I'm butterfly I'm butterfly

I'm butterfly, I'm butterfly

I’m butterfly now I know

I'm butterfly now I know

I'm butterfly, now I know

Now I am

Now I am

Now I am
