Give me fever
얼음 같은 눈 (그 붉은 눈빛)
Breaking me in two (나를 흔들지)
왕좌에 앉은 네 앞에 설 때
내 안에 타는 불길 (타는 불길)
What I gotta do? (뜨거운 손이)
너를 찾아도 (I cannot have it)
너에게 손대선 안 돼 절대
하지만 이끌리지
(난 아플수록 널 원해)
멈춰 제발 멈추지 마
멈춰 제발 멈추지 마
너 때문에 온몸이 타올라
너 때문에 심장이 목말라
Like a fever, fever, fever, fever
널 안고 싶어, 널 안고 싶어
밀어내도, 내 안에 타올라
재가 돼도, 불꽃이 피어나
Like a fever, fever, fever
널 앓고 싶어, 널 앓고 싶어
Don’t stop (stop)
그래, all day, all day, 태워줘
Please stop (stop)
나의 태양이여, 그만, baby, oh baby (ooh)
이런 날 어떻게 좀 해줘, 어떻게 좀 날
날 놓아줘, 날 안아줘
날 놓아줘, 날 안아줘
너 때문에 온몸이 타올라
너 때문에 심장이 목말라
Like a fever, fever, fever, fever
널 안고 싶어, 널 안고 싶어
밀어내도 내 안에 타올라
재가 돼도 불꽃이 피어나
Like a fever, fever, fever
널 앓고 싶어, 널 앓고 싶어
너 때문에 온몸이 타올라
너 때문에 심장이 목말라
Like a fеver, fever, fеver, fever
널 안고 싶어, 널 안고 싶어
밀어내도 내 안에 타올라
재가 돼도 불꽃이 피어나
Like a fever, fever, fever
널 앓고 싶어, 널 앓고 싶어

explanations
I am not fluent an may have errors. but this is what differs from lyric videos
.
lyrics videos: the bold eyes
눈빛 is literally “eye light” and refers to the look in one’s eyes. so I went with “gleam”. 붉은 means “crimson”.
.
lyric videos: though I find you
verb+도 means “even if”. I might find you, I might not. but if I do, I still won’t be able to touch you
.
lyric videos: I’m attracted
이끌리다 is to be led/guided/driven by.
I went with “I can’t stop” as in “I’m pushed on/driven forward” (I could be wrong with this, but it goes well with the “the more it hurts the more I want you”)
.
the more it hurts, the more I want you
lyric videos: “as I suffer more, I want you”
it’s literally “the more I hurt, the more I want you”
ㄹ수록 means “the more A, the more B”
.
lyric videos: stop, please don’t stop
I just moved the comma. In Korean, “please” isnt used like it is in English. the lyric said “please” so it’s like a hands and knees begging STOP
.
lyric videos: even if I pull away from you
밀어나다 translated as “push” and examples were like “elbowing through a crowd” “pushing past your seniors and surpassing them” so I took it as trying to push through it. “even if I try not to have this desire, I can’t. it’s still there”. I asked to confirm and was told “tried to deny it but can’t. my desire still burns”
.
Even if I turn to ash, the flame will rage
lyric videos: fireworks explode, even if it turns to ashes
it actually isn’t clarified WHAT turns to ash. but since they are burning with desire, I assumed it to be them. 불꽃 is literally “fire flower” or a flame. a “firework” is 불꽃놀이
.
lyric videos: I want to be sick with you
it does literally mean I wanna be sick/afflicted with you. it’s like “I want you to be the reason that I hurt/suffer”. so that’s why I said “make me suffer” (cause I was also trying to make it flow)
.
lyric videos: please do something to this day, something to me
I technically have this wrong too. I was told it’s “please do something for me”. (날 does mean “day” but it’s also short for 나를 meaning “I”)
so I googled 어떻게 좀 해줘 on naver and some things I’m seeing I’d translate as “please help me” like:
이거 좀 어떻게 해주세요-> please help me with this / I need help with this
가만히 있지 못하는 우리 아이 어떻게 좀 해주세요-> please help me with our child that won’t be still / I need help with our child that won’t be still
(-> it was an ADHD article)
In the lyric, I think the thing you are needing help with is 이런 날 (Me that is like this/me that is this way). The song is so back and forth about them wanting you but also knowing that it isn’t best and that they shouldn’t. so I decided to stick with my original translation because when someone makes you suffer or feel a certain way, but you dont want to feel that way anymore, this is what you would say.
hope you liked it~
