Curve (곡선) Lyric Translation

Updated: Jul 21, 2023






 

Composed by Kriz & TOMOKO IDA

Lyrics by SUNMI

Arranged by TOMOKO IDA



Note: Sunmi said as she was scrolling through Instagram, she saw a lot of healthy women which made her think of the word "curve". She wrote the song in 2016 about the curves in life. "We always get flustered by curves. Like a winding road or a beautiful woman with a toned body or the ups and downs of life. […] so don't be nervous. It's just a line."


[Verse]

아마 긴장하고 있겠지

어디다 눈을 둬야 할지

ama ginjang-hago itgetji

eodida nuneul dweoya halji

You're probably nervous

Wondering where you should place your eyes


떨리고 있잖아

다 보여

자 어쩔 거야 이제

ddeolligo itjana

da boyeo

ja eojjeol geoya ije

You're nervous

I can see it all

What are you gonna do now?

Slow down


너무 빨라

neomu bballa

It's too fast

Slow down


좋을 거 하나도 없어

joheul geo hanado eobseo

There's nothing nice about this

Oh no no 거봐

큰일 날 뻔했어

Oh no no geobwa

keunil nal bbeonhaesseo

Oh no no, see?

It could've caused us trouble

[Pre-Chorus]

It's not a game


단숨에 널 삼켜버릴 거야

더 버텨봐 Baby

dansum-e neol samkyeobeoril geoya

deo beotyeobwa Baby

I'm gonna swallow you whole

Hang on, baby

It's not a pain


좀 지나면 다 괜찮아질 거야

숨을 쉬어봐

jom jinamyeon da gwaenchanajil geoya

sumeul shwieobwa

It'll be okay after some time

Take a breath


It will be not so straight

[Chorus]

Li-li-li-life is so curved


아아아 아찔해

a-a-a- ajjilhae

It's exciting


Thi-thi-this road is so curved


조심해

joshimhae

Be careful


Bo-bo-bo-body's so curved


어어어 어질해

eo-eo-eo eojilhae

It's dizzying

Kee-kee-keep three in your mind


조심해

joshimhae

Be careful

[Post-Chorus]

Yeah, you got that

It’s not easy

Say you need me

One, two, three

[Verse]

알아 넌 어쩌면

이게 시험이라는 걸

너 혼자서 두렵다면 옆에 있어줄게

ara neon eojjeomyeon

ige shiheomiraneun geol

neo honjaseo duryeobdamyeon yeop-e isseojulge

You know that

This might be an experience

If you're alone and scared, I'll be by your side


이건 좀 다른 선 일뿐이야

어쩌지 하지 마 It’s alright

igeon jom dareun seon ilbbuniya

eojjeoji haji ma It's alright

This is just a different line

Don't panic, it's alright


Calm baby, you and me


어차피 처음이야

eochapi cheo-eumiya

It's the first time anyways

[Pre-Chorus]

It's not a game


단숨에 널 삼켜버릴 거야

더 버텨봐 Baby

dansum-e neol samkyeobeoril geoya

deo beotyeobwa Baby

I'm gonna swallow you whole

Hang on, baby

It's not a pain


좀 지나면 다 괜찮아질 거야

자 숨을 쉬어봐

jom jinamyeon da gwaenchanajil geoya

sumeul shwieobwa

It'll be okay after some time

Take a breath


It will be not so straight

It's exciting


Thi-thi-this road is so curved


조심해

[Bridge]

끝에 서면 알겠지

끝에 서선 웃겠지 (울겠지)

ggeut-e seomyeon algetji

ggeut-e seoseon utgetji (ulgetji)

When you reach the end, you'll know

Once you reach the end, you'll laugh (you'll cry)


끝에 다다르면

그때 지나쳐 온 그 순간들

다 스쳐 갈 거야

ggeut-e dadareumyeon

keuddae jinachyeo on geu sungandeul

da seuchyeo gal geoya

When you reach the end,

All those moments will pass by again


Then we're going higher, oh


[Chorus]

Li-li-li-life is so curved


아아아 아찔해

a-a-a- ajjilhae

It's exciting


Thi-thi-this road is so curved


조심해

Be careful

[Post-Chorus]

Yeah, you got that

It’s not easy

Say you need me

One, two, three


[Outro]

It's alright, I'm with you baby

It's alright, I'm with you baby
