sober up, it’s not often we get a chance to get together
hey, listen to my story, back then everything was funny for no reason
i’ve been really neglectful, making excuses that i’m busy and different
but now i see when we’re together we’re all just kids

all of you must be unthinkably busy and exhausted
but all of you (all of you) still came out, even if you grumbled just like way back when

(what have you been up to, how are you doing)
ask how i’m doing later, now tell me stories about the old days, when was that?
(tell the same story again, we do it every time we meet)
we listen, have another round of laughter
then fill our glasses and raise them, cheers

anytime, ok, i’m feeling tipsier bit by bit
it’s alright, ok, i’m remembering my childish ways bit by bit
when we were young and knew nothing, you and i
i’m recalling those days when we’d be together, today

[rap]
don’t pour too much, it’s gonna overflow
keep knocking them back because you feel good, and you won’t remember anything from tonight
when a few years pass, this too will become a precious memory
so you can’t just let it get erased by some lousy alcohol
tell us when you’ve had enough, coolly
tell us if you’re going home, so i can call you
it’s my first time asking a guy to stay, don’t go home yet they’re waiting for us
daehangno, in front of daemyung street like we’re doing attendance
climbing over the fence to the playground and the school rooftop
where should we go first? how bout it, shall we have a tour?
surveying everything from naksan, shall we check out the nightscape?
the streets are the same, but all the shops have changed
we’re all still the same, but the whole world has changed
wherever the place, the chatting never ceases and uncontrollable laughter escapes our mouth
let’s put aside reality for a while

anytime, ok, i’m feeling tipsier bit by bit
it’s alright, ok, i’m remembering my childish ways bit by bit
when we were young and knew nothing, you and i
i’m recalling those days when we’d be together, today

it’s super corny, but hey, that’s all part of our memory
it’s really dumb if you think about it, but hey, that’s all part of our memory

it’s super corny, but hey, that’s all part of our memory
it’s really dumb if you think about it, but hey, that’s all part of our memory

t/n - “추억” (chueok) is commonly just translated to “memory,” but it goes a little beyond that. it’s a type of memory that holds special personal significance.

“오글오글” (ogeul-ogeul) is slang for "corny / cheesy." it comes from the word “shrivel up,” referring to how we curl our fingers and toes as we cringe at something corny and embarrassing. jonghyun has mentioned very frequently that he doesn’t like how popularized this expression has become, because people are too swift to look down on genuine expressions of emotion as being “cheesy.”

daemyung street is located in daehangno, which is a neighborhood in seoul. naksan mountain is also in seoul.
