[ENGLISH LYRICS] Twenty-three (수물셋) - IU (아이유)
Korean I'm 23 난 수수께끼 (Question!) 뭐게요 맞혀봐요 I'm 23 틀리지 말기 because 난 몹시 예민해요 맞혀봐
한 떨기 스물셋 좀 아가씨 태가 나네 다 큰 척해도 적당히 믿어줘요 얄미운^1 스물셋 아직 한참 멀었다 얘 덜 자란 척해도 대충 속아줘요
난, 그래 확실히 지금이 좋아요 (아냐, 아냐 사실은 때려 치고 싶어요) 아 알겠어요 나는 사랑이 하고 싶어 (아니 돈이나 많이 벌래) 맞혀봐
어느 쪽이게? 얼굴만 보면 몰라 속마음과 다른 표정을 짓는 일 아주 간단하거든 어느 쪽이게? 사실은 나도 몰라 애초에 나는 단 한 줄의 거짓말도 쓴 적이 없거든
여우인 척하는 곰인 척하는 여우^2 아니면 아예 다른 거 어느 쪽이게? 뭐든 한 쪽을 골라 색안경^3 안에 비춰지는 거 뭐 이제 익숙하거든
Check it out 겁나는 게 없어요 엉망으로 굴어도 사람들은 내게 매일 친절해요 인사하는 저 여자 모퉁이를 돌고도 아직 웃고 있을까? 늘 불안해요
난, 영원히 아이로 남고 싶어요 (아니, 아니 물기 있는 여자가 될래요^4) 아 정했어요 난 죽은 듯이 살래요 (아냐, 다 뒤집어 볼래) 맞혀봐
어느 쪽이게? 얼굴만 보면 몰라 속마음과 다른 표정을 짓는 일 아주 간단하거든 어느 쪽이게? 사실은 나도 몰라 애초에 나는 단 한 줄의 거짓말도 쓴 적이 없거든
여우인 척하는 곰인 척하는 여우^2 아니면 아예 다른 거 어느 쪽이게? 뭐든 한 쪽을 골라 색안경^3 안에 비춰지는 거 뭐 이제 익숙하거든
난 당신 맘에 들고 싶어요 아주 살짝만 얄밉게^1 해도 돼요? 난 당신 맘에 들고 싶어요 자기 머리 꼭대기 위에서 놀아도 돼요?^5 맞혀봐
어느 쪽이게? 얼굴만 보면 몰라 속마음과 다른 표정을 짓는 일 아주 간단하거든 어느 쪽이게? 사실은 나도 몰라 애초에 나는 단 한 줄의 거짓말도 쓴 적이 없거든
여우인 척하는 곰인 척하는 여우^2 아니면 아예 다른 거 어느 쪽이게? 뭐든 한 쪽을 골라 색안경^3 안에 비춰지는 거 뭐 이제 익숙하거든
English I’m 23, I’m a riddle (Question!) Try to guess which one is right I’m 23, don’t get it wrong, because I’m terribly sensitive Take a guess
23 is a bouquet, looking a little feminine If I pretend to be all grown up, please humour me 23 is selfish^1, you’re still a ways off, girl If I pretend to be less grown up, please be loosely deceived
Yes, definitely, I like right now (No, no, actually I just want to quit) Ah, right! I want to fall in love (No, I’ll just make a lot of money…) Take a guess
Which one is it? You can’t tell just by looking at my face; Making a different expression to the heart Is so simple Which one is it? Honestly, I don’t know either Since the beginning I haven’t written a single line that isn’t true
A fox pretending to be a rabbit Pretending to be a fox^2 Or something completely different Which one is it? Whatever it is, pick a side; People seeing the worst in me^3, well, I’m used to it by now
Check it out There’s nothing I’m afraid of Even if I mess up People are always kind to me That woman who said hi to me When she rounds the corner Will she still be smiling? I’m always anxious
I want to stay a child forever (No, no, I want to be a sensual woman^4) Ah, I’ve made my mind up! I’m going to live like I’m dead (No, I’m going to try and turn everything upside-down) Take a guess
Which one is it? You can’t tell just by looking at my face; Making a different expression to the heart Is so simple Which one is it? Honestly, I don’t know either Since the beginning I haven’t written a single line that isn’t true
A fox pretending to be a rabbit Pretending to be a fox^2 Or something completely different Which one is it? Whatever it is, pick a side; People seeing the worst in me^3, well, I’m used to it by now
I want you to like me Is it alright if I’m a teensy bit annoying about it?^1 I want you to like me Is it alright if I see the truth of your actions/look down on you?^5 Take a guess
Which one is it? You can’t tell just by looking at my face; Making a different expression to the heart Is so simple Which one is it? Honestly, I don’t know either Since the beginning I haven’t written a single line that isn’t true
A fox pretending to be a rabbit Pretending to be a fox^2 Or something completely different Which one is it? Whatever it is, pick a side; People seeing the worst in me^3, well, I’m used to it by now
Notes:
얄밉다 is a really hard word to translate - it kind of means annoying, but it can be used kind of affectionately as well? Often it's used like when somebody does something that could be seen as selfish or shameless, or does something that makes you feel envious. In this context, it's probably about being a bit selfish and shameless
There's this concept of "bear-like" personalities and "fox-like" personalities for women in Korea. Basically, foxes are flirty (similar to connoations we have about someone being "a fox" in English) while bears are innocent and naive. I chose to translate bear as "rabbit", because I thought the connotations in English worked better
"색안경" literally means like "dark-tinted sunglasses"; it's essentially the opposite of rose-tinted glasses. If someone looks at you through 색안경, they're looking at you with prejudice, seeing the worst in you
Here literally just says "a wet woman/a woman with water" it's not an established idiom or anything but it sounds a bit sensual and risque
The idiom "머리 꼭대기 위에서 놀다" (and "머리 위에 [꼭대기에] 앉다[올라앉다]") mean to see through somebody to their thoughts and intentions, as well as to look down on somebody

[KOR/ENG LYRICS] Young Forever (RM Demo Ver.)
Demo songs are an early step in the music making process used to present the general idea of a song. The lyrics may not always make sense as they are often just placeholders for the artists to reference flow or melodies before the actual recording.
Take it back to the time 시간이 되돌려 놔 Take it back to the time, turn back time
치기어린 한숨과 절망이 가득했던 마음 My childish sighs and heart filled with despair
넌 무엇인가 잃어버린 채   Having lost something,
꾹 눈을 감은 채 잡히지 않는 걸 찾아 해매 eyes shut tight, you wander in search of something that cannot be captured
삶은 아름답지만 그래서 더 잔인하지 Life is beautiful, so it’s even more cruel
거꾸로 보면 잔인하지만 아름다워 If you look at it the other way, it’s cruel but beautiful
부상 어느 정도 위로 못되겠지만 This might not be much comfort for your wounds
말장난 같은 세상 너도 느껴야만 해 The world feels like wordplay, you need to feel it too
우리 모든 곳의 사이에 있어 We are in between everything
자기의 자기애와 자괴 Our self-love and shame
사랑과 증오 현실과이상 그 놈들의 사이에 Love and hate, reality and the ideal, in between all of those jerks
너 사랑할  수 있어 You can love them
스스로 너의 그 부족함을 Your own inadequacy
너 결국엔 빛 켜질 게 없는 그림자 같은 놈을 Your shadow who, in the end, doesn’t even need a light to shine, that jerk
스물셋 난 아직도 청춘으로 살아가기를 싫다 23, I still don’t want to live out my youth
내 멍청한 팔과 다리 이 심장을 믿으니까 Because I believe in my foolish arms and legs and heart
부모님이 주신 날개 최선 쪽을 팔지말자 The wings my parents gave me, let’s do our best not to bring them shame
앞으로 청춘아 태워줘만 가 In the future, youth, just take me with you
We are young
We are young forever
죽었어도 살았어도 Whether dead or alive
영영 젊을 거야 We’ll always be young
We are young
We are young forever
살았어도 죽었어도 Whether alive or dead
시체가 되어서도 Even when we become corpses
Baby never worry
You ain’t got to hurry
Baby never worry
You ain’t got to hurry
Baby never worry
You ain’t got to hurry
Baby never worry
You ain’t got to hurry

[TRANS] IU ‘CHAT-SHIRE’ Album Introduction and Song Introductions
Tumblr media
ALBUM INTRODUCTION
A bunch of twenty-threes, IU's current state which is full of trivial things. Also, your current state.
IU's 4th mini album ‘CHAT-SHIRE’ is out!
IU's fourth mini album ‘CHAT-SHIRE’, which everyone has been waiting for, has finally been released.
IU, who showed her growth as a musician with her detailed and unique emotions through her previous albums and her self-composed songs, expanded her involvement to take part in the production of this album, making her voice heard throughout the whole album.
This album ‘CHAT-SHIRE’ contains a total of 7 songs and from the perspective of characters from different novels, she expresses the experiences and observations of 23-year-old IU, as well as her thoughts and feelings about people around her. The album name ‘CHAT-SHIRE’ refers to a small society where the character of each song lives in their own area and one can finish walking through the whole place in 23 steps.
[Note: A ‘shire’ is a county or something like a town for different characters. See Chat-shire map teaser image. IU also said she meant for the lyrics to be idle talk (chat) and not be taken too seriously. See news article on album showcase.]
Through ‘CHAT-SHIRE’, which features IU's current state, you will think about yourself in your future, present and past. While the stories are based on IU's own experiences and thoughts, these are things that can happen to all of us and that we may think about too. Hopefully, with your image of yourself in mind, you can share and communicate with us through ‘CHAT-SHIRE’.
SONG INTRODUCTIONS
01. 새 신발 (Shoes)
Lyrics by IU
Composed by Lee Jong-hoon
Arranged by Lee Jong-hoon
“I took off my old shoes and slid my feet into silver shoes. They fit just right as if they are my shoes.”
A track that serves as a guide to facilitate a tour of CHAT-SHIRE. While greeting fans who have been waiting a long time for this album with the most familiar-sounding strings and voice typical of IU, this is the busy start of a new date. This song is a medium-tempo song with a vintage sound of the 'Motown' style of the 70s.
02. Zezé
Lyrics by IU
Composed by Lee Jong-hoon, Lee Chae-gyu
Arranged by Lee Jong-hoon
“The tree speaks with its whole body. It speaks with its leaves, its branches and its roots too. Do you want to hear what it’s saying? Then put your ears to my body. You will be able to hear my heart beating.”
This is a kind of love song that is sung while waiting for someone who is charming, but difficult, puts you at a loss, yet lovely. It is a song that stands out with the hip-hop sound of Lo-Fi beats that have not been experimented with in IU songs thus far..
03. 스물셋 (Twenty-three) (TITLE)
Lyrics by IU
Composed by IU, Lee Jong-hoon, Lee Chae-gyu
Arranged by Lee Jong-hoon, Lee Chae-gyu
“‘Can you tell me which way to go from here?’
‘It depends where you want to go,’ said the cat.”
This song is based on the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland. ‘Cheshire’, which is also related to the name of the album, is the most important keyword in the album. There are many different ways to look at something, none of which are wrong. Whatever you choose is the answer and it just depends on what you want to believe. This song has a funky beat and disco-like sound, which blend with the light, fun and confusing lyrics, giving the impression of feeling exasperated.
04. 푸르던 (The shower)
Lyrics by IU
Composed by IU
Arranged by Kim Je-hwi
“It was really fun that day... But I have no idea where all this water came from that day.”
The day when my papery heart was soaked with water, my vision narrowed and in one breath, I fell in love with the season I never liked. Is it just good or is it just sad to remember what used to be beautiful? This is an acoustic song that makes you imagine a summer night full of memories of your first love.
05. Red Queen (Feat. Zion.T)
Lyrics by IU
Composed by Lee Jong-hoon, Lee Chae-gyu
Arranged by Lee Jong-hoon, Lee Chae-gyu
“‘She did look as ugly as you. She was redder than you, and with shorter petals,‘ said the rose. ‘She’s the type with lots of thorns.’”
Don’t we all have the experience of a strange feeling when we see the person being attacked by everyone make a smile without worry? This is a song that asks questions about the preconceived notions of everyone who thinks that it is uncomfortable to discover a good side to a villain who deserves to be attacked. The main character of the song, ‘that woman’, can be the first person who comes to your mind as you listen to the song, or it can also be you. Who is the worst between the woman in the story, the speaker and the listener? This is an uptempo track with retro feels that mixes two completely different genres, including the rhythm and sound of bubblegum pop in the ‘60s and chord progression of bossa nova in the middle of the song.
06. 무릎 (Knees)
Lyrics by IU
Composed by IU
Arranged by Lee Jong-hoon
”She patted my head with a touch as light as air.
‘It's always hard to be born. You know that, right? They say a bird must struggle to get out of its shell.’”
This is a song that started out with the idea that doubt keeps a person from falling asleep. ‘Doubt’ can be someone's doubt about me, my doubt about myself, my doubt about the rest of the world, or maybe a doubt about a day that just flew by that makes one feel uncomfortable (Note: because the day flew by without one accomplishing much). Everyone will have a childhood experience of sleeping so deeply in a dreamless slumber, not knowing that they were being moved somewhere in the large hands of an adult. This song is sung in a soft voice with a piano melody accompaniment, on a night that suddenly feels sad because as we grow older and older, we lose sleep even because of a small sound and become more and more wary (Note: of things or people) around us.
07. 안경 (Glasses)
Lyrics by IU
Composed by IU
Arranged by Kim Je-hwi
'“‘Everyone calls you a fool.’ ’Never mind. It's nothing to worry about.’”
This album is made up of question marks. IU's age of 23 is so full of trivial details and confusing that she can't be sure of anything or draw any conclusions. Nevertheless, this song was included as the last track because of the need for a full stop. A conviction not to wear glasses does not necessarily signify innocence. Living day by day with enough freedom and humor to hum a song, while losing sometimes and returning an attack sometimes. For now, that's the image of an adult that 23-year-old IU has the least aversion towards. This is a song with a guitar accompaniment that sounds lethargic, the use of a bandoneon (Note: a kind of concertina musical instrument) and rather bizarre backing vocals that are interesting.
08. 마음 (Heart)
Lyrics by IU
Composed by IU, Kim Je-hwi
Produced by IU, Kim Je-hwi
Something fragile, yet silently shining.
09. Twenty three (Bonus Track)
Lyrics by IU
Composed by PJ, Lee Jong-hoon
Translated by IUteamstarcandy

하루하루를 단단히 쌓아가며 살아가는 한달 반 후 저는 스물셋 입니다 또 이렇게 성장 또 성장을 했다 낭만은 짧고 지저분한 질척거리는 첫눈을 좋아하는 나는 감성을 잃었고 유독 추운 겨울에 핫팩뿐이다 11월도 12월도 남지 않은 2022년도도 행복해지는 일에 게으름을 피우지 말아야지 어쨋든 제법 잘 지내고 있다 마음껏 누리고 행복해야지
