What The Flower (꽃같네) Lyric Translation

Updated: Jan 7, 2023





 

Composed by SUNMI & Hong Sojin

Lyrics by SUNMI

Arranged by Hong Sojin



Note: What The Flower is a song about someone trying to understand someone else's behavior. Sunmi said she thought of certain people that were beautiful but acted cold when she greeted them, while writing the song. According to Sunmi, it's also about a cat owner trying to figure out why their cat acts a certain way. Sunmi's written the song from both perspectives and she's said the song shows Sunmi's real emotions. (ʻFlowers’ in Sunmi's lyrics)



[Chorus]

웃지 않아도 되는데 왜

그래도 넌 예쁠 테니까

utji anado dweneunde wae

keuraedo neon yebbeul tenikka

You don't have to smile, why?

Cause you'll still be pretty

시들어버린 말투

감정 없이 툭 뱉은 네 마음도 Okay

shideureobeorin maltu kamjeong eobshi tuk baeteun ni ma-eumdo Okay

Your withered speech

And your heart that you pour out emotionlessly**

Are okay

**your thoughts that you express thoughtlessly and emotionlessly


I do understand


[Pre-Chorus]

자꾸 왜 만지려 해

그만해

jaggu wae manjiryeo hae

keumanhae

Why do you keep touching me?

Stop it


So please get off of me


가까이하면 할수록 더

멀어지네

kagga-ihamyeon halsurog deo

meoreojin-e

The closer we get,

The further we drift apart


[Chorus]

웃지 않아도 되는데 왜

그래도 넌 예쁠 테니까

utji anado dweneunde wae

keuraedo neon yebbeul tenikka

You don't have to smile, why?

Cause you'll still be pretty


시들어버린 말투

감정 없이 툭 뱉은 네 마음도 Okay

shideureobeorin maltu kamjeong eobshi tuk baeteun ni ma-eumdo Okay

Your withered speech

And your heart that you pour out emotionlessly**

Are okay

**your thoughts that you express thoughtlessly and emotionlessly


I do understand


[Verse]

Give away give away

살짝 지어 보이는 미소

It's on the house

이거 하나면 돼 Oh

Give away give away

saljjag ji-eo bo-ineun miso

It's on the house

igeo hanamyeon dwae Oh

Give away give away

The slight smile

It's on the house

This one is enough


의미 같은 건 네가

알아서 생각해 어차피

난 별생각 없었어

저기 핀 예쁜 꽃처럼

euimi gateun geon niga

araseo saengag-hae eochapi

nan byulsaenggag eobseosseo

jeogi pin yebbeun ggot-cheoreom

Think of the meaning by yourself

I didn't have an intent [behind the smile] anyways

Like the pretty flower that has bloomed over there


[Pre-Chorus]

자꾸 왜 만지려 해

그만해

jaggu wae manjiryeo hae

keumanhae

Why do you keep touching me?

Stop it


So please get off of me


가까이하면 할수록 더

멀어지네

kagga-ihamyeon halsurog deo

meoreojin-e

The closer we get,

The further we drift apart

[Chorus]

웃지 않아도 되는데 왜

그래도 넌 예쁠 테니까

utji anado dweneunde wae

keuraedo neon yebbeul tenikka

You don't have to smile, why?

Cause you'll still be pretty


시들어버린 말투

감정 없이 툭 뱉은 네 마음도 Okay

shideureobeorin maltu kamjeong eobshi tuk baeteun ni ma-eumdo Okay

Your withered speech

And your heart that you pour out emotionlessly**

Are okay

**your thoughts that you express thoughtlessly and emotionlessly


I do understand


[Refrain]

참 꽃같네 꽃같네

참 꽃같네 꽃같네

참 꽃같네 꽃같네

참 꽃같네 꽃같네

cham ggotgatne ggotgatne (x4)

*What a flower (x4)

*sounds similar to "what the flower" which, I'm assuming, is where the title came from


[Chorus]

웃지 않아도 되는데 왜

그래도 넌 예쁠 테니까

utji anado dweneunde wae

You don't have to smile, why?

Cause you'll still be pretty
