Apink “D N D” Original Lyrics
[Intro: Bomi]
D-N-D now
Never waste your life
D-N-D now
[Verse 1: Hayoung, Chorong]
Yeah, 하늘을 바라본 게 글쎄 언제였더라
생각도 안 나잖아 (고단한 day life)
가끔은 eye to eye on 거울에 눈을 맞춰 (Mm-mm)
입꼬릴 up 더 보여 줄래 smiley face
[Pre-Chorus: Namjoo, Hayoung]
자그만 네 room (자그만 네 room)
한구석에서 (구석에서)
긴 한숨을, hoo (긴 한숨을, hoo)
혼자 걱정하진 않길
잊은 채로 살았던 palette 속에
골라봐 봐 너의 색
만나게 될 거야 네 가능성
Now, 하나하나 paint your frame
[Chorus: Bomi, Eunji]
Just D-N-D now
누구도 막을 수 없어
계속 걸어
네 방식대로 find your way
Just D-N-D now
언제나 live it like you’re twenty-two
Better, better, better move
너를 있는 모습 그대로 믿어봐
[Verse 2: Chorong, Hayoung, Eunji]
Yeah, 해야 하는 것보단 하고 싶은 걸로
과감하게 take that (Mm, baby) 그래도 돼 (Why not?)
Oh, 행복이라는 건 생각 외로 단순해, oh
머나먼 저편에 찾아 헤맨 heaven
사실 여기 있는 걸
[Pre-Chorus: Namjoo, Hayoung]
네 마음의 room (네 마음의 room)
한구석으로 (구석으로)
미뤄왔던 꿈 (미뤄왔던 꿈)
더 외면하지는 않길
때론 아무 대책 없이
내일을 낙관해도 괜찮아
네 마음속에 가득 쌓인 dust
전부 다 털어봐
[Chorus: Bomi, Eunji]
Just D-N-D now
누구도 막을 수 없어
계속 걸어
네 방식대로 find your way
Just D-N-D now
언제나 live it like you’re twenty-two
Better, better, better move
너를 있는 모습 그대로 믿어봐
[Bridge: Hayoung, Bomi]
사는 게 문득 불안할 땐, mm
네 곁에 있는 나를 기억해
앞을 향해서 (Oh-oh)
Don’t evеr looking back (Oh-oh)
비가 온 뒤 더 단단해질 너를 알잖아
[Interlude]
Ah-mm-mm (Hmm)
Ah-mm-mm
[Refrain: Chorong & Eunji, Eunji]
늘 함께 할 거야
어른이 돼 가는 너의 과정에
헤맨다고 해도 괜찮으니까
Find your way, oh-woah-woah
[Chorus: Chorong, Hayoung, Eunji, Namjoo, *Bomi*]
D-N-D now
희망이 비치는 road
걷고 걸어
더 눈부시게 빛날 days
Just D-N-D now
온 세상 가득해질 너만의
Color, color, color, ooh
좋아 지금 모습 그대로 live your life
Just D-N-D now (Woo, ooh!)
누구도 막을 수 없어
계속 걸어
네 방식대로 find your way (Oh, find your way)
*Just D-N-D now
널 가득하게 채워 twenty-four
Bеtter, better, better move
좋아 지금 모습 그대로 live your life*
[Outro: Eunji]
You better, better, better move
너를 있는 모습 그대로 믿어봐
Apink “D N D” English Translation Lyrics
[Intro]
D-N-D now
Never waste your life
D-N-D now
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I don’t know when was the last time
I looked at the sky (Exhausting day life)
Sometimes, eye to eye one, look in the mirror
Hmm, lips are up, show me more smiley face
[Pre-Chorus]
In the small corner
Of the corner
After a long sigh, hoo
Don’t worry alone
In the palette that I had forgotten
Pick one, your color
You’ll get to meet your potential
Now, one by one, paint your frame
[Chorus]
Just D-N-D now
Nobody can’t stop
Keep walking
In your own way, find your way
Just D-N-D now
Always live it like you’rе twenty-two
Better, bеtter, better move
Trust yourself for who you are
[Verse 2]
Yeah, rather than what you should do, do what you want
Resolutely take that (Mm, baby) It’s okay (Why not?)
Oh, happiness is more simple than you think, oh
Looked for it far away, heaven
Honestly, it’s here
[Pre-Chorus]
Into the corner of the room in your heart
Don’t disregard the dream you’ve put off
Sometimes, without any countermeasures
It’s okay to be optimistic about tomorrow
In your heart, a pile of dust
Shake it all off
[Chorus]
Just D-N-D now
Nobody can’t stop
Keep walking
In your own way, find your way
Just D-N-D now
Always live it like you’re twenty-two
Better, better, better move
Trust yourself for who you are
[Bridge]
When you’re anxious about life, mm
Remember me who’s next to you
Towards the front (Oh-oh)
Don’t ever looking back (Oh-oh)
After it rains, you know you’ll be stronger
[Interlude]
Ah-mm-mm (Hmm)
Ah-mm-mm
[Refrain]
Always be with you
In the process of becoming an adult
It’s okay to say that you’re lost
Find your way, oh-woah-woah
[Chorus]
D-N-D now, hope shines the road
Walk and walk, shine brighter days
Just D-N-D now
The world will be filled with your own
Color, color, color, ooh
Good, just the way you are now, live your life
Just D-N-D now (Ooh)
Nobody can’t stop
Keep walking
In your own way, find your way (Oh, find your way)
Just D-N-D now
Fill you up twenty-four
Better, better, better, move
Good, just the way you are now, live your life
[Outro]
You better, better, better move
Trust yourself for who you are
