[에스파 "Black Mamba" 가사]

[Intro: All]
Hey
Hey

[Verse 1: Karina, Ningning]
I'm addicted 끊임없이
말을 걸어주는 나의 aespa (Oh)
이런 교감 너의 존잰 날
다른 차원으로 이끌었지 (Oh)
난 세상 중심에 You're in the flat
내 모든 action 어린 너의 힘을 키워

[Pre-Chorus: Winter, Giselle]
넌 언젠가부터 synk out
노이즈같이 보여
더 이상 못 찾겠어
널 유혹해 삼킨 건 Black Mamba

[Chorus: All]
Ma-Ma-Ma-Mamba
Ooh, woah, woah (Hey)
Ma-Ma-Ma-Mamba
Oh, woah, oh, oh (Hey)

[Post-Chorus: Karina, All, Ningning, Winter]
넌 광야를 떠돌고 있어
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay (Hey)
나의 분신을 찾고 싶어
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay (Hey)
Hey Ma-Mamba

[Interlude: All, Karina]
I hate Ma-Ma-Ma-Mamba
Hate Ma-Ma-Ma-Mamba

[Verse 2: Giselle, Winter]
I'm ejected 선함 만으론 (Woo)
너의 거대함을 이기지 못해
I'm exhausted 너의 존잰 모든
탐욕들을 먹고 자라 났지
​aespa는 나야 둘이 될 수 없어
Monochrome to colors 이건 evo-evolution

[Pre-Chorus: Ningning, Karina]
Oh, 위험한 장난을 쳐
매혹적이지만 널
부정할 밖에
모든 걸 삼켜버릴 Black Mamba

[Chorus: All]
Ma-Ma-Ma-Mamba
Ooh, woah, woah (Hey)
Ma-Ma-Ma-Mamba
Oh, woah, oh, oh (Hey)

[Post-Chorus: Giselle, All, Winter, Karina]
넌 광야를 떠돌고 있어
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay (Hey)
네게 맞서 난 질 수 없
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay (Hey)
Hey Ma-Mamba

[Bridge: Winter, Ningning, Karina]
거울 속의 나는 네가 아닐까? (Hey)
일그러져버린 환영인 걸까? (Hey)
다시 너와 연결될 수 있다면 (Hey)
너를 만나고 싶어 (Hey) 이제
모든 걸 삼켜버릴 Black Mamba

[Chorus: All]
Ma-Ma-Ma-Mamba
Ooh, woah, woah (Hey)
Ma-Ma-Ma-Mamba
Oh, woah, oh, oh

[Post-Chorus: Karina, All, Ningning, Winter]
넌 광야를 떠돌고 있어
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay (Hey)
네게 맞서 난 질 수 없
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay (Hey)
Hey Ma-Mamba

​aespa (에스파)

aespa ( 에스파) is a four-member South Korean girl group under record label SM Entertainment. The group consists Korean members Winter and Karina as well as Chinese member Ningning and Japanese member Giselle who were revealed on October 26th-29th, 2020 alongside various teaser photos following their intro video.

Known their human members and virtual counterparts, the group is the first project of SMCU (SM Culture Universe). They debuted on November 17th, 2020 with the digital single “Black Mamba.”

The group’s name is a combination of the words “avatar” and “experience” (ae) as well “aspect,” representing the duality of the group. SM founder Lee Sooman described their concept as that of independent yet corresponding human and AI-powered virtual members who can bridge their separate worlds on October 27th, 2020 at the World Cultural Industry Forum. They opened their official fanclub with the name “MY,” meaning “the most precious friend” in the language of Kwangya, the world where aespa’s “ae” avatars live.
