[Verse 2: Karina]
[Verse 2: Karina]
얼마든 멀어져도
No matter how far apart we drift
사정거리 그 안에
You're still within range
조그만 움직임도
Even the smallest movement
내 관심을 유도해
Draws my attention in
[Pre-Chorus: Giselle, Giselle & Ningning, Ningning]
[Pre-Chorus: Giselle, Giselle & Ningning, Ningning]
너의 미소에 yeah, I'm heating up
Your smile's got me yeah, I'm heating up
불을 점화한 네 은근한 touch
The slow burn of your touch ignites the flame
Give you one more shot 너를 향해서
Give you one more shot heading straight for you
날 던져 you're the one
I throw myself in, you're the one
[Chorus: All & Winter]
[Chorus: All & Winter]
Don't blink, 'cause you're my mission
Don't blink, 'cause you're my mission
계속 너의 마음을 blow up, blow up
Keep blowing up your heart, blow up, blow up
Don't blink 날려 my missile
Don't blink, launching my missile
지금이야 fire, fire, fire, don't blink
Now's the time, fire, fire, fire, don't blink
Watch close, the very moment you let your guard down
I'll turn your whole world upside down
'Cause you're my mission
'Cause you're my mission
너의 마음을 blow up, blow up, blow up
Your heart goes blow up, blow up, blow up
Don't blink
Don't blink
[Post-Chorus]
[Post-Chorus]
위태위태하게 버티고 있는
Barely holding on by a thread
날 자극한 너의 작은 touch
That little touch of yours that sets me off
이제 더 이상은 참을 수 없어
I can't hold back anymore
Give you a shot
Give you a shot
[Verse 3: Karina & Ningning]
[Verse 3: Karina & Ningning]
무지개처럼 포물선을 그린 way
Arcing like a rainbow on my way
내가 먼저 훅 다가가 ain't no competition, babe
I make the first move, ain't no competition, babe
어서 순순히 항복을 말해 say
Go ahead and just surrender, say
어떤 철벽도 못 버틸 거야 when I double take
No wall can stand when I double take
[Pre-Chorus: Giselle & Ningning]
[Pre-Chorus: Giselle & Ningning]
Focus on me
Focus on me
내 모든 움직임에 attention
Every move I make has your attention
난 어느새
Before I knew it
여기 너에게로
I'm right here, coming for you
[Chorus: Winter, Giselle & Karina]
[Chorus: Winter, Giselle & Karina]
Don't blink, 'cause you're my mission
Don't blink, 'cause you're my mission
이미 너의 마음은 blow up, blow up
Your heart is already blown up, blow up
Don't blink, 날려 my missile
Don't blink, launching my missile
너의 마음은 fire, fire, fire, don't blink
Your heart goes fire, fire, fire, don't blink
잘 봐 흔들린 바로 그 순간
Watch close, the very moment you start to waver
네 세상은 전부 내 손 안에
Your whole world is right here in my hands
'Cause you're my mission
'Cause you're my mission
너의 마음은 blow up, blow up, blow up
Your heart goes blow up, blow up, blow up
Don't blink (Ooh)
Don't blink (Ooh)

(위태위태하게 버티고 있는) 잘 지켜봐 (Na-na-na-na, oh)
(Barely holding on by a thread) Watch closely (Na-na-na-na, oh)
(날 자극한 너의 작은 touch, don't blink) (Don't, don't)
(That little touch of yours that sets me off, don't blink) (Don't, don't)
(이제 더 이상은 참을 수 없어) 내게 허물어질 세계 (Don't, don't)
(I can't hold back anymore) A world that crumbles before me (Don't, don't)
(Give you a shot, don't blink) Ooh
(Give you a shot, don't blink) Ooh

“ne sesang-eul balgak dwibijeo nwa” 네 세상을 발칵 뒤집어 놔
"발칵 뒤집어 놔" (balkak dwijibeo nwa) is a Korean expression for flipping something completely over in one sudden, chaotic motion — 발칵 is a mimetic adverb for an abrupt upheaval, so the line promises to turn your whole world upside down rather than politely rearrange it. It lands in the chorus as aespa's statement that their pursuit is total, not subtle. "Don't Blink" is a track from aespa's fourth EP, Drama, released November 10, 2023, with lyrics by Hwang Yu-bin of VeryGoods (Wikipedia).

“jal bwa bangshimhan baro geu sungan” 잘 봐 방심한 바로 그 순간
"방심" (bangshim) means letting your guard down or relaxing your vigilance, and the line "잘 봐 방심한 바로 그 순간" warns that the moment you do is exactly when the singer strikes. It fits the song's extended military/targeting metaphor (mission, missile, fire) of romantic pursuit framed as a precision operation. "Don't Blink" appears on aespa's EP Drama (November 10, 2023); the track was composed and produced by Dillon Deskin with Tima Dee and Deanna Villarreal (Wikipedia).
