TWICE- MORE&MORE LYRICS BREAKDOWN!
Hi lovelies!
I'm honestly afraid to admit how long it's been since I've written a blog post on here **shame on me** so I'm super stoked to get back into it.
Today we'll be going over the rap part in Twice's latest single More & More to see how much useful Korean grammar and vocab we can pick up from there, so let's get right into it!
Here are the lyrics we'll be breaking down:
난 원래 욕심쟁이 몰랐다면 미안 사과는 미리 할게 Cuz I want you more more 의견은 필요 없어 훔칠 거야 네 맘 내게 홀리게 될걸 You can’t say no no 난 도둑고양이 오늘만은 널 꼭 잡으러 왔으니까 딱 기다려 너 멀리 가지 말고 다시 내게 Come come Yeah 한 번 더
First, just read these lyrics to yourself (preferably out loud, so you can work on your pronunciation), then see how much you can understand without scrolling down to the explanations. How much did you comprehend? 20%? 50%? However much it is, keep reading Korean texts and track your progress, because that's what matters most :)
난 원래 욕심쟁이 몰랐다면 미안 - I am naturally greedy, I'm sorry if you didn't know
난 = 나 which means I + 는 which is a subject marking particle
