Narcissism Lyric Translation

Updated: Jan 28, 2024





 

Composed by SUNMI & FRANTS

Lyrics by SUNMI

Arranged by FRANTS



Note: Sunmi was inspired to write this song after learning about the myth of narcissus and narcissistic traits. She's mentioned that we can view it as a song about INFPs (MBTI type) as well. As Sunmi's an INFP, she shared the song with her INFP friends and they also agreed that it was on point. Sunmi's also mentioned that at first, it could seem like the lyrics are towards someone else but they're actually things people tell themselves.



니가 바라보는 나

니 눈에 비친 내가

아름다울까

아름다울까

niga baraboneun na

ni nun-e bichin naega

areumdawulgga (x2)

The way you see me

The me in your eyes

Is it beautiful? (x2)


이 표정들이

진실일까 거짓일까

누구일까

i pyojeongdeuri

jinshirilgga keojishilgga

nugu-ilgga

These [facial] expressions

Are they genuine? Are they fake?

Who are they?


너에게 맞춰서 살아간다는 게

더는 견디기 힘들어

neo-ege majchweoseo saragandaneun ge

deoneun kyeondigi himdeureo

It's hard to bear

Living up to your expectations


내가 누군지도 모르겠어

니가 만든 틀에 날 구겨 넣어

naega nugunjido moreugesseo

niga mandeun teur-e nal kugyeo neo

I don't even know who I am

I fit myself into the mold you make


그건 나도 아니고

너도 아닌 누군가야

keugeon nado anigo

neodo anin nugun-gaya

That's not me

And it's not you either


This is someone else


그건 나도 아니었고

너도 아니었던 거야

keugeon nado ani-eotgo

neodo ani-eotdeon geoya

That wasn't me

And it wasn't you either


This is someone else

Not me


I can't say no more


아직도 널 사랑한다고

ajigdo neol sarang-handago

That I still love you


I can't see me no more


어디에도 난 없었다고

eodi-edo nan eobseotdago

I wasn't anywhere


이거 봐 내 눈은 이렇게

입술은 또 이렇게

목소리도 부드러운 살결도

향기도 몸짓도

igeo bwa nae nuneun ireokke

ibsureun ddo ireokke

mogsorido budeureowun salgyeoldo

hyangido momjitdo

Look here, my eyes are like this

My lips are like this

My voice too, my soft skin

And scent and gestures too


이거 봐 내 눈은 이렇게

입술은 또 이렇게

목소리도 부드러운 살결도

향기도 몸짓도

igeo bwa nae nuneun ireokke

ibsureun ddo ireokke

mogsorido budeureowun salgyeoldo

hyangido momjitdo

Look here, my eyes are like this

My lips are like this

My voice too, my soft skin

And scent and gestures too


넌 조금 달라

처음 보는 느낌은 아니야

가까이 와

neon jogeum dalla

cheo-eum boneun neuggimeun aniya

kagga-i wa

You're a bit different

It doesn't feel like our first meeting

Come close


I think I'm in love with you


너에게 맞춰서 살아간다는 게

더는 견디기 힘들어

neo-ege majchweoseo saragandaneun ge

deoneun kyeondigi himdeureo

It's hard to bear

Living up to your expectations


내가 누군지도 모르겠어
