[Verse 1: Taesan]
Ready to be twenty? I don't think so
[Chorus: Riwoo]
But it's been a while since I turned 20
When I was younger, I was foolish
My friends of the same age
금메달이 쉬워 보였던 어린 아이
Are all filled with talks of college, retaking exams, and jobs
못난 꼬라지 싸가지, two-oh, 나인 덤
The playground that felt so big when I was a kid
서른의 난 그땐
Looking back, it's no big deal
Oh, 웃고 있을지
Even my mom's usual nagging
I'm starting to miss it
[Verse 1: Taesan]
Ready to be twenty? I don't think so
[Pre-Chorus: Woonhak]
But 스물은 보낸 지 오래고
Ah, I'm in pain, it's just tough
내 동갑내기 친구들은
Why does everyone say this is the best time?
대학, 재수, 취업 얘기들로만 가득하고
I was just as small as a grain of rice
어릴 적 내겐 컸던 놀이터
Now I've barely grown to the size of an egg, oh
돌아보면 별것도 아니고
어머니 그 흔한 잔소리도
[Chorus: Sungho]
그리워져 가
When I was younger, I was foolish
The kid who thought a gold medal was easy
[Pre-Chorus: Woonhak]
A poor little brat, 2-0, I'm a dummy
Ah, 나는 아픈데 괴롭기만 한데
When I'm 30, will I
다들 왜 제일 좋을 때라는지
Oh, be smiling then?
쌀알만 하던 내가 겨우
달걀만 해진 것 뿐인데, oh
[Verse 2: Myung Jaehyun]
Life is the same wherever you go, everyone is the same
[Chorus: Sungho]
What could a young kid like me possibly know?
When I was younger, I was foolish
Some say they've grown enough
금메달이 쉬워 보였던 어린 아이
Some envy my age so much
못난 꼬라지 싸가지, two-oh, 나인 덤
Busy dreaming back in elementary school
서른의 난 그땐
Pushed around here and there during high school
Oh, 웃고 있을지
Now, having just turned twenty
I complain about my youth
[Verse 2: Myung Jaehyun]
사는 게 거기서 거기 모두 다 똑같지 뭐
[Pre-Chorus: Riwoo]
나이도 어린 놈이 알긴 대체 뭘 안다고
Ah, I'm in pain, it's just tough
누군 클 만큼 컸대
Why does everyone say this is the best time?
누군 내 나이가 너무 부럽대
I was just as small as a grain of rice
꿈만 꾸기 바빴던 초등학교
Now I've barely grown to the size of an egg, oh
이리저리 치이다 갔던 고등학교
이제 막 접어든 나의 스무살도
[Chorus: Leehan]
청춘이라 투덜대
When I was younger, I was foolish
The kid who thought a gold medal was easy
[Pre-Chorus: Riwoo]
A poor little brat, 2-0, I'm a dummy
Ah, 나는 아픈데 괴롭기만 한데
When I'm 30, will I
다들 왜 제일 좋을 때라는지
Oh, be smiling then?
쌀알만 하던 내가 겨우
달걀만 해진 것 뿐인데, oh
[Outro: Myung Jaehyun, Sungho, Riwoo]
My youth is free, so what?
[Chorus: Leehan]
My youth is free, what can I do?
When I was younger, I was foolish
The answer isn't clear
금메달이 쉬워 보였던 어린 아이
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
못난 꼬라지 싸가지, two-oh, 나인 덤
Ugly twenty (Yeah, yeah, hey)
서른의 난 그땐
Rude twenty (Yeah, yeah, ayy)
Oh, 웃고 있을지
Glory twenty (Yeah, yeah, hey)
Da-da, da-da-da, ayy
[Outro: Sungho, All, Riwoo, Myung Jaehyun]
My youth is free, 어쩌라구요
My youth is free, 어쩌겠어요
정답은 들리지 않아
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ugly twenty (Yeah, yeah, hey)
싸가지 twenty (Yeah, yeah, ayy)
Glory twenty (Yeah, yeah, hey)
Da-da, da-da-da, ayy
