Full Lyrics - Korean & English

Twice!

Twice!

What is love?

What is love?

매일같이 영화 속에서나

Every day in movies,

책 속에서나 드라마 속에서

in books, or in dramas,

사랑을 느껴

I feel love.

Um 사랑을 배워

Um, I learn about love.

내 일처럼 자꾸 가슴이 뛰어

My heart beats like it's my life,

두근두근거려 설레임에 부풀어 올라

it flutters, overflowing with excitement.

Um 궁금해서 미칠 것만 같아

Um, I'm so curious, I feel like I'm going crazy.

Ooh 언젠간 내게도

Ooh, will this ever happen to me,

이런 일이 실제로 일어날까

will this really take place?

그게 언제쯤일까? 어떤 사람일까?

When will it happen? What kind of person?

(I wanna know) 사탕처럼 달콤하다는데

(I wanna know) They say it's sweet like candy,

(I wanna know) 하늘을 나는 것 같다는데

(I wanna know) They say it feels like flying.

I wanna know, know, know, know

I wanna know, know, know, know

What is love?

What is love?

사랑이 어떤 느낌인지

What does love feel like?

(I wanna know) 하루 종일 웃고 있다는데

(I wanna know) They say you smile all day,

(I wanna know) 세상이 다 아름답다는데

(I wanna know) They say the world is beautiful.

I wanna know, know, know, know

I wanna know, know, know, know

What is love?

What is love?

언젠간 나에게도 사랑이 올까

Will love ever come to me?

지금 이런 상상만으로도

Just with this imagination,

떠올려만 봐도

just by thinking about it,

가슴이 터질 것 같은데

I feel like my heart will burst.

Um 이렇게 좋은데

Um, it feels so good.

만일 언젠가 진짜로 내게

If someday love really comes to me,

사랑이 올 때 난 울어버릴지도 몰라

I might cry.

Um 정말 궁금해 미칠 것만 같아

Um, I'm really curious, I feel like I'm going crazy.

Ooh 언젠간 내게도

Ooh, will this ever happen to me,

이런 일이 실제로 일어날까

will this really take place?

그게 언제쯤일까? 어떤 사람일까?

When will it happen? What kind of person?

(I wanna know) 사탕처럼 달콤하다는데

(I wanna know) They say it's sweet like candy,

(I wanna know) 하늘을 나는 것 같다는데

(I wanna know) They say it feels like flying.

I wanna know, know, know, know

I wanna know, know, know, know

What is love?

What is love?

사랑이 어떤 느낌인지

What does love feel like?

(I wanna know) 하루 종일 웃고 있다는데

(I wanna know) They say you smile all day,

(I wanna know) 세상이 다 아름답다는데

(I wanna know) They say the world is beautiful.

I wanna know, know, know, know

I wanna know, know, know, know

What is love?

What is love?

언젠간 나에게도 사랑이 올까

Will love ever come to me?

지금 세상 어느 곳에 살고 있는지

Where in the world are you right now?

도대체 언제쯤 나와 만나게 될는지

When will we meet?

언제 (어떻게) 우리의 인연은

When (how) will our destiny start?

시작될는지 모르지만 느낌이 어쩐지

I don't know, but it feels like

진짜 좋을 것 같아 왠지

it would be really nice.

영화 드라마보다도 더 멋진

It's even better than a movie or a drama.

사랑이 올 거야 내 예감 언제나 맞지

Love will come, my intuition is always right.

어서 나타나봐

Come quickly, show yourself,

나는 다 준비가 됐지 ready

I'm ready.

어디 있을까 (찾아낼 거야)

Where are you? (I'll find you.)

어디 있을까 (보고 싶어 죽겠어)

Where are you? (I miss you to death.)

더 이상 참을 수 없을 것만 같아

I feel like I can't hold on anymore.

사탕처럼 달콤하다는데

They say it's sweet like candy,

하늘을 나는 것 같다는데

they say it feels like flying.

I wanna know, know, know, know

I wanna know, know, know, know

What is love?

What is love?

사랑이 어떤 느낌인지

What does love feel like?

하루 종일 웃고 있다는데

They say you smile all day,

세상이 다 아름답다는데

they say the world is beautiful.

I wanna know, know, know, know

I wanna know, know, know, know

What is love?

What is love?

언젠간 나에게도 사랑이 올까

Will love ever come to me?

I wanna know

I wanna know.

I wanna know (what is love?)

I wanna know (what is love?)

I wanna know, know, know, know (I wanna know)

I wanna know, know, know, know (I wanna know.)

What is love? (I wanna know, I wanna know what is love)

What is love? (I wanna know, I wanna know what is love.)

I wanna know

I wanna know.

I wanna know

I wanna know.

I wanna know, know, know, know

I wanna know, know, know, know.

What is love?

What is love?

I wanna know

I wanna know.
