English Translation

[Verse 1]
My hair is shining black
My eyes are silent black
Black writings on my hand and my stories
I try to hide them
But they’re always there

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna go back
Go back
It’s like a crow
Go back to the beginning

[Chorus]
Black hair, black eyes
I want to dance wearing black
Flowing down my body
The black blood becomes hot today
Dark hair, dark eyes
I want to sing in the dark world
I want to become an ordinary girl
Who is fearless today

[Verse 2]
I dyed my hair to deny myself
The red lipstick hid my pursed lips
The thing that shook behind
The colored lens
It was me who didn’t want to be me

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna go back
Go back
It’s like a crow
Go back to the beginning

[Chorus]
Black hair, black eyes
I want to dance wearing black
Flowing down my body
The black blood becomes hot today
Dark hair, dark eyes
I want to sing in the dark world
I want to become an ordinary girl
Who is fearless today

[Bridge]
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, navy, purple
When you seduce my heart
Close your eyes in the darkness
And feel yourself

[Chorus]
Black hair, black eyes
I want to dance wearing black
Flowing down my body
The black blood becomes hot today
Dark hair, dark eyes
I want to sing in the dark world
I want to become an ordinary girl
Who is fearless today

[Chorus]
Black hair, black eyes
I want to dance wearing black
Flowing down my body
The black blood becomes hot today
Dark hair, dark eyes
I want to sing in the dark world
I want to become an ordinary girl
Who is fearless today

Hangul

[Verse 1]
내 머리색은 빛나는 블랙
내 눈동자는 고요한 블랙
내 손에 새긴 까만 글씨와
나의 이야기들
가리려고 해봐도 항상 그 자리에

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna go back
다시 돌아가
It’s like a crow
거칠 것이 없던 그때 다시 처음으로

[Chorus]
검은 머리 검은 눈
검은 옷을 입고 춤을 출래
몸을 타고 흐르는
검은 피가 뜨거워져 오늘
어둔 머리 어둔 눈
어둔 세상에 난 노래할래
두려움 없는
평범한 소녀가 되어 볼래 오늘

[Verse 2]
나를 부정하듯 바꿨던 머리색과
다문 입을 가린 빨간 립스틱
컬러 렌즈 뒤에 숨어 계속
이리저리 흔들린 건
내가 아니고픈 바로 나였었지

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna go back
다시 돌아가
It’s like a crow
거칠 것이 없던 그때 다시 처음으로

[Chorus]
검은 머리 검은 눈
검은 옷을 입고 춤을 출래
몸을 타고 흐르는
검은 피가 뜨거워져 오늘
어둔 머리 어둔 눈
어둔 세상에 난 노래할래
두려움 없는
평범한 소녀가 되어 볼래 오늘

[Bridge]
빨주노초파남보
내 마음을 유혹할 때
눈을 감고서 어둠 속
그 안의 너를 느껴봐

[Chorus]
검은 머리 검은 눈
검은 옷을 입고 춤을 출래
몸을 타고 흐르는
검은 피가 뜨거워져 오늘
어둔 머리 어둔 눈
어둔 세상에 난 노래할래
두려움 없는
평범한 소녀가 되어 볼래 오늘

[Chorus]
검은 머리 검은 눈
검은 옷을 입고 춤을 출래
몸을 타고 흐르는
검은 피가 뜨거워져 오늘
어둔 머리 어둔 눈
어둔 세상에 난 노래할래
두려움 없는
평범한 소녀가 되어 볼래 오늘

Lee Hyori (이효리) was born on May 10, 1979, in Cheongwon, Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea and is a singer, record producer, activist, actress and television presenter. Lee originally debuted as a member of the girl group Fin.K.L in 1998 and was then dubbed as “the nation’s fairy”.

During her time in Fin.K.L, she released a solo album titled Stylish in August of 2003 and would continue her career as a solo artist after the disbandment of her group in 2005 (though on September 22, 2019, after more than ten years since the group’s disbandment, Fin.K.L returned with the single “남아있는 노래처럼 (Just Like The Song That Remains)”). The album sold more than 100,000 copies in the country, and the lead single “10 Minutes” became her signature hit and swept the Daesang Awards, winning her seven – three of which of were the most prestigious.

Lee expanded her career in the entertainment industry, debuting as an actress in the 2005 drama 세잎클로버 (3 Leaf Clover), starring alongside Im Ryu Jin (류진) and Kim Kang Woo (김강우). However, the drama received poor ratings and reviews stating that Lee was a miscast in the drama.
