Examples
Watching a critically acclaimed TV series
Hey
헤이
Turn it up just a little
볼륨을 조금만 더 높여봐
I feel something coming
뭔가 오는 게 느껴져
Started slow, just one look
천천히 시작했어, 그저 한 번 쳐다봤을 뿐
Didn’t know what it would be
이게 뭐가 될지 몰랐지
You smiled once, that was it
네가 한 번 웃어줬고, 그게 전부였어
Something clicked inside of me
내 안에서 무언가 맞물렸지
We were talking, nothing crazy
우린 대화 중이었고, 특별할 건 없었어
Just another Friday night
그저 평범한 금요일 밤이었지
But my heartbeat kept on racing
하지만 내 심장은 계속해서 뛰었어
Every time you caught my eye
너와 눈이 마주칠 때마다
One step closer, feel it now
한 걸음 더 가까이, 이제 느껴봐
Something’s moving in the crowd
군중 속에서 무언가 움직이고 있어
Every second pulling harder
매 순간 더 강하게 끌어당겨
We’re not slowing down
우린 멈추지 않아
It keeps getting better
갈수록 더 좋아져
Better every time
매번 더 좋아지고 있어
Move a little faster
조금 더 빠르게 움직여봐
Yeah you feel that right
그래, 너도 느끼고 있지
It keeps getting better
갈수록 더 좋아져
Hands up to the sky
하늘 높이 손을 들어
If you feel the moment
이 순간이 느껴진다면
Don’t stop, don’t stop tonight
멈추지 마, 오늘 밤은 멈추지 마
Now we’re laughing way too loud
이제 우린 너무 크게 웃고 있어
Can’t stay still, can’t stay calm
가만히 있을 수 없어, 진정할 수 없어
Every beat is hitting harder
비트마다 더 강하게 때리고
Pulling us into the sound
우리를 소리 속으로 끌어들여
You say wait, take it easy
넌 기다려 달라고, 천천히 하자고 말하지만
But your feet say something else
네 발은 딴판인걸
Every time the music drops
음악이 떨어질 때마다
You’re losing all your self control
넌 자제력을 잃어가고 있어
Feel it now, feel it rise
지금 느껴봐, 피어오르는 걸 느껴봐
We’re on fire, no surprise
우린 불타오르고 있어, 놀랄 건 없지
Every move is getting wilder
몸짓 하나하나가 더 거칠어져
We’re not going back
우린 돌아가지 않아
It keeps getting better
갈수록 더 좋아져
Better every time
매번 더 좋아지고 있어
Move a little faster
조금 더 빠르게 움직여봐
Yeah you feel that right
그래, 너도 느끼고 있지
It keeps getting better
갈수록 더 좋아져
We’re losing track of time
시간이 가는 줄도 모르고
If you feel the moment
이 순간이 느껴진다면
Don’t stop, don’t stop tonight
멈추지 마, 오늘 밤은 멈추지 마
Faster
더 빠르게
Higher
더 높게
Louder
더 크게
Now
지금
Heartbeat
심장 박동
Hands up
손을 들어
Jump in
뛰어들어
Go
가자
Yeah yeah yeah
예 예 예
Clap your hands
박수를 쳐
Jump right now
지금 당장 뛰어
Feel that drop
이 드롭을 느껴봐
It keeps getting better
갈수록 더 좋아져
Now we’re out of control
이제 우린 통제 불능이야
Every beat together
모든 비트를 함께해
Let it take your soul
영혼을 맡겨봐
It keeps getting better
갈수록 더 좋아져
Everybody shout
모두 소리 질러
If you feel this energy
이 에너지가 느껴진다면
Scream it out, scream it out
외쳐봐, 더 크게 외쳐봐
It keeps getting better
갈수록 더 좋아져
Better every time
매번 더 좋아지고 있어
Tonight we’re not stopping
오늘 밤 우린 멈추지 않아
Till the sun comes up
해 뜨는 그날까지
Hey
헤이
It keeps getting better
갈수록 더 좋아져
You feel it too, right
너도 느끼고 있지, 그치
