Filter - Jimin (Lyrics)
Filter - Jimin nuanced translation of these insanely seductive lyrics
Nuanced translation
너의 따분한 그 표정 지루한 발끝
Your disinterested expression, your listless steps
Please, look at me now
핸드폰은 내려놔 고개 돌릴 생각도 마
Put down your phone, don't even think about turning away
Let me know your type
*날 골라 쓰면 돼 yeah
Pick me and use me, yeah"
*the way this is written, it does mean "pick me and use me" but phonetically this also sounds like "it's done now that you picked me" or like "now that you've picked me - you'll be all set."
the difference is very subtle and here is their signature magical lyrical magic although rap line wasn't involved in the lyrics this time
날 골라 쓰면 돼 (nal go-lah sseumyun dwe) = pick me and use me
날 골랐으면 돼 (nal gol-lass-eumyun dwe) = now that you've you picked me, you'll be all set
Oh, 너의 눈을 나의 손으로 포개
Oh, I'll cover your eyes with my hands
Oh, 다가가 비밀에
Oh, come closer to the secret
널 데려갈게 완전히 새로운 세상에
I'll take you to a completely new world
Yeah, 네 감은 눈을 떠봐 이제 go
Yea, open up your eyes now, go
[CHORUS]
팔레트 속 색을 섞어 pick your filter
Mix the colors on your palette, pick your filter
어떤 나를 원해?
Which version of do you want?
너의 세상을 변화시킬 I’m your filter
I’m your filter who will change your world
네 맘에 씌워줘
Put me on/over your heart
(Okay) 어때 조금 느낌이 와? 아직 모자라?
(Okay) How's that? Do you feel something yet? Not enough?
(Yes) Girl, you have your chance
I can be your Genie
How ‘bout Aladdin?
뭐든 돼 줄게
I'll be whatever you want
날 골라 쓰면 돼 yeah
Oh, 네 꿈처럼 널 감싸 안을 거야
Oh, I'll wrap you in an embrace [like I do in your dreams]
Oh, 은밀한 spec이야
Oh, it's a secret *spec
*spec (as in specifics), "spec" used to refer to like cusstom specifications on things, unique measurements/preferences/details, etc.
난 너를 위해 매일 새로울 거야
I'll be new every day for you
늘 똑같은 건 재미없잖아
The same thing every day is boring, no?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
불현듯 아이로 변한 날 봐
Look, now suddenly I'm just a boy
볼수록 귀여워 미치도록 (미치도록)
The more you look, the more irresistably cute I get - driving you crazy
취향도 기준도 뛰어넘어
Surpassing your preferences and standards
넌 오직 나만을 원하게 돼
You'll only want me
Yeah, 날 만든 사람 바로 너니까
Yea, because you're the one who made me
[CHORUS]]
난 여태 네가 본 적 없는 brand new filter
I'm a brand new filter you've never seen before
내게 널 맡겨봐
Entrust yourself to me
더 짜릿한 걸 볼 수 있게 pick your filter
So you can see something more thrilling, pick your filter
나만을 담아봐
Behold only me
[Outro: Jimin]
새로운 우리가 될 거야
We'll become a new us
Ayy, 날 네 맘에 씌워줘
Ayy, put me on/over your heart
