Too Young To Die Lyric Translation

Updated: Jul 11, 2023





 

Composed by FRANTS & SUNMI

Lyrics by SUNMI

Arranged by FRANTS



Note: Too Young To Die was written for HOOK, a female dance crew that participated in MNET's dance competition Street Woman Fighter. Sunmi said she's put a lot of thought into both the production and the lyrics of this song. She wrote the song while thinking of the dancers and it's the first song she's written for someone else.



꿈이 너무 많아

어디까지 왔나

잠깐 돌아보니

아직 제자리야

ggumi neomu mana

eodiggaji wan-na

jamggan doraboni

ajig chejariya

I have big dreams

How far have I come?

When I look back,

I'm still at square one


눈이 너무 많아

어디 한번 해봐

하는 니 눈초리

놀랍지도 않아 Yuh

nuni neomu mana

eodi hanbeon haebwa

haneun ni nunchori

nollabjido ana Yuh

There are too many eyes on me

Your glare that says

"I'd like to see you try"

Doesn't even surprise me, yuh


날 지키려 피워낸

가시에 되려 내가 베이는 꼴

nal jikiryeo piweonaen

gashi-e dweryeo naega pe-ineun ggol

The thorns that I grow to protect myself

Become the things that cut me


날 회초리 삼아 More

갈기고 찢어 이 한 몸 다 바칠게

nal hwechori sama More

kalgigo jjijeo i han mom da bachilge

Use me as a cane

[I'll] strike more and tear apart, I'll devote my body


긴 어둠속에서 피어난 Spotlight

그 빛에 서서 난 Fight for myself

kin eodumsog-eseo pi-eonan Spotlight

keu bich-e seoseo nan Fight for myself

I stand in the spotlight that glows in the dark

And fight for myself


이 끈을 다 놓아버릴 때 쯤에

이젠 니가 나를 보잖아

i ggeuneul da no-a-beoril ddae jjeum-e

ijen niga nareul bojana

By the time I let go of this rope,

Your eyes are on me


Too young to die

(You save me from the war)

Too young to

(You save me from the war)

Too young to die


뭐 그리 말이 많아

그 입 좀 닫아 Zip it

mweo keuri mari mana

keu ib jom dama Zip it

Why are you talking so much?

Shut your mouth, zip it


내가 하는 거 그냥 봐

naega haneun geo keunyang bwa

Just watch what I do


Sit back, relax

And enjoy the show


날 지키려 피워낸

가시는 더욱 자라나

nal jikiryeo piweonaen

gashineun deowug jarana

The thorn that bloomed to protect me

Grows more


Like a spear


나를 방패 삼아

날 갈기고 찢어 이 한 몸 다 바칠게

nareul bangpae sama

nal kalgigo jjijeo i han mom da bachilge

Use me as a shield

Strike me and tear me apart, I'll devote my body


긴 어둠속에서 피어난 Spotlight

이 빛에 서서 We fight for ourselves

kin eodumsog-eseo pi-eonan Spotlight

i bich-e seoseo We fight for ourselves

We stand in the spotlight that glows in the dark

And fight for ourselves


이 끈을 다 놓아버릴 때 쯤에

이젠 니가 나를 보잖아

i ggeuneul da no-a-beoril ddae jjeum-e

ijen niga nareul bojana

By the time I let go of this rope,

Your eyes are on me


Too young to die

(I'll save you from the world)

Too young to

(I'll save from the world)

Too young to die


Feel alive more than ever

But I know it won't last forever


If I had to die,


내가 누울 자린 여기인 것 같아

naega nuwul charin yeogi-in geot gata

Here is where I'd lie
