Go away... go away...
Go away... go away...
You come and touch me,
And scald me like boiling water.
I tell you to go away,
Yet you stand there without leaving.
I come and touch you,
And shower over you like rosewater.
You tell me to go away,
But you are lying.
Go... go away...
As time goes on,
You keep pushing and pressuring me,
You demanding debt-collector of love!
Girl, in this whole world,
There is no one like you,
You gorgeous killer!
Feeling like fire in the cool moonlight,
And looking at me with pure hate,
Aren't you a total fool, boy?
I am a peacock who has written
Her entire life's will to you,
So just enjoy it, boy!
Oh dear god,
You are a wicked demoness!
Why do you keep messing with my virtue?
Did I ever ask you to come to me?
Why do you come on your own and torment me?
If you tell me to give up my life,
I will give up my life.
If you tell me to give you up,
I will never give you up.
After promising to stay with me until the end,
Why do you break your word and cast me aside?
Oh, I have suffered enough,
Leave me alone in my solitude.
Just leave me alone.
Leave me alone, my love, leave me alone.
You come and touch me,
And scald me like boiling water.
I tell you to go away,
Yet you stand there without leaving.
I already said goodbye,
Let go, back off, day after day,
Why do you keep chasing me?
I shut the doors of my heart
Tightly closed,
Yet you set the opposing wind on fire!
On the sands of our beach,
When you lay in my lap—
Have you forgotten those days?
Nurturing a deep love of our souls,
All those words we spoke—
Have they vanished into the wind?
Whatever it was,
I blabbered and asked for it.
You cast the fishing hook,
And I got caught.
Today, I have gained my freedom,
What a relief, I have laid down my burdens!
An eyelid that shuts to protect—
Thinking of it as a burden to itself,
An eye like that
Does not exist even in stories...
Thinking you are as deep as an ocean,
You put on this dramatic act of turmoil,
Yet without you,
I have no support here.
Oh, I fell in love, yes,
I fell in love.
Let me forget you, let me forget,
Let me forget, my love, just forget.
Let me forget...
You come and touch me,
And scald me like boiling water.
I tell you to go away,
Yet you stand there without leaving.
I come and touch you,
And shower over you like rosewater.
You tell me to go away,
But you are lying.
Go... go away...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song portrays a passionate, dramatic, and humorous conflict between two lovers. The male protagonist feigns frustration, calling his lover a trouble-maker, a tormentor, and a 'beautiful murderer' who burns him like boiling water, demanding to be left alone in solitude. In response, the female protagonist sees through his act, declaring that his rejections are lies and that he is deeply in love with her. The lyric explores the intense push-and-pull dynamic of love, where harsh words conceal deep attachment.
