Description

• Korean

안데르센의 동화 중 가장 슬픈 이야기라 불리는 '인어공주' 이야기를 모티브로 만든 곡으로, 소녀의 애달픈 짝사랑을 표현한 유려한 멜로디, 경쾌한 뉴잭스윙 비트에 절묘하게 녹아 들어 마치 한 여름 밤의 바닷가가 그려질 것 같은 곡이다. 여자친구 멤버들의 감수성과 음색이 돋보이는 곡의 전반부와 탄탄한 가창력이 돋보이는 후반부까지, 프로듀싱을 맡은 그룹 '미오' 의 걸그룹 "여자친구" 에 대한 보컬리스트 적인 해석을 느낄 수 있어 매우 흥미로운 곡이다.

Chart performance

"Mermaid" debuted at #83 on Gaon Digital Chart, dated July 10—16, 2016. It also debuted at #41 on Gaon Download Chart with 34,755 downloads.

Lyrics

Korean
바다 위 보석 같은 여름 달빛 그렇게 빛나는 너를 처음 봤어요 우리가 사랑할 수 없다고 해도 그저 바라볼 뿐인 맘이래도 너를 향해 걷는 이 길이 많이 아픈 걸음이 나를 몰라준대도 (곁에 있고 싶어) 다가 가지도 못해서 아무 말하지 못해서 내 맘 물거품처럼 사라져도 오 바다야 바다야 나를 기억해줄래 하고 싶었던 많은 얘기들 들어주겠니 오 바람아 바람아 그가 내 소식 물어본대도 처음 사랑에 빠졌던 그 날 그게 나란 거 비밀이야 한마디 말 못해도 느껴지길 슬픈 네 눈물 닦는 그녀 나이길 바람에 녹아 내린 나의 손길이 제발 너에게 닿을 수 있다면 한번 나를 보고 웃어줘 날 사랑한다 해줘 다신 볼 수 없는데 (나를 잊지 마요) 다가 가지도 못해서 아무 말하지 못해서 내 맘 물거품처럼 사라져도 오 바다야 바다야 나를 기억해줄래 하고 싶었던 많은 얘기들 들어주겠니 오 바람아 바람아 그가 내 소식 물어본대도 처음 사랑에 빠졌던 그 날 그게 나란 거 비밀이야 날 안아줄래 이 어둠 속에 나를 혼자 두지마 어젯밤 꿈 속에 네가 내게 다가와 사실 날 사랑했었다고 그렇게 말했어 오 바람아 바람아 그가 내 소식 물어본대도 (처음 사랑에 빠졌던 그 날) 그게 나란 거 비밀이야 라랄라 라랄라 oh baby 라랄라 라랄라 라랄라 라랄라 처음 사랑에 빠졌던 그 날 그날을 꿈꾸며 잠들래

Translation
The summer moonlight shines on the calm sea, that was the first moment I saw you glowing brightly It's obvious, our love is impossible, I could only admire you from afar Even thought I hurt my feet as I walk toward you, It hurts so much, Even if you don't know about me (I wanna be by your side) Because I can't get any closer, because I can't say anything, My feeling will gradually disappear just like bubbles on the sea Oh the sea, please remember me Could you hear me out? I want to tell you my story Oh the wind, even though he might be curious Since the day I fell for him Don't say it was me, let's keep it a secret Even though I couldn't say anything, I hope you understand I wish I could wipe away your tears I want to reach out for you so bad, but my touch was melt down by the wind Just for once, please look at me, say that you love me Though we can't ever see each other again (Don't forget me) Because I can't go to you, I can't say anything My feeling will gradually disappear just like bubble on the sea Oh the sea, please remember me Could you hear me out? I want to tell you my story Oh the wind, even though he might be curious Since the day I fell for him Don't say it was me, let's keep it a secret Please hug me, don't leave me alone in the darkness Last night you appeared in my dream Actually, I've said I love you Oh the wind, even though he might be curious (The day we first fell in love) Don't say it was me, let's keep it a secret La la la la la la oh baby La la la la la la la la la la la la Falling in love for the first time I wanna dream about that day as I fall asleep
