Genius English Translations
IU - Palette (팔레트) Acoustic Ver. [English Translation]
[Verse 1]
Strangely, these days I just like things that are easy
But still, I still like Corinne’s music
Even though nothing's changed, I like to grumble
Honestly, I think where I am isn't so bad
Rather than hot pink, I prefer dark purple
What else was there, pajamas with buttons and lipstick
Nonsensical jokes

[Chorus 1]
I like it I'm twenty five
I know that you like me
I got this I'm truly fine
I think I know a little bit about myself now

[Verse 2]
Rather than long hair
I prefer short hair
But still
I was pretty when I sang 'Good Day'
I might stop giving the type of kindness that I expect back
It's a little sad
Oh, why is that?
I like things a little outdated, mmm
Rather than pictures I like filled
Palettes, diaries, times I was asleep
[Chorus 2]
I like it, I'm twenty five
I know you hate me
I got this I’m truly fine
I think I know a little bit about myself now

[Verse 3]
Everything's hard because we're young
Getting upset when you’re being nagged
A child who used to only get scolded
Barely passed twenty
Happiness is just momentary?!
They say that it hurts because we're young
Ji-Eun you need to run, time isn't going to wait for you
You have to work hard but also be happy from time to time
Past twenty, not yet thirty
In between, right there
When I’m not a kid or an adult
When I’m just me
Whatever it is I can now bear it
Was there a time where everything was good?
Stand up bravely, in full bloom
The age I want to be forever is now
Palettes, diaries, times I was asleep

[Chorus 1]
I like it, I'm twenty five
I know that you like me
I got this I'm truly fine
I think I know a little bit about myself now
(Still have a lot to say)

[Chorus 2]
I like it, I'm twenty five
I know you hate me
I got this I’m truly fine
I think I know a little bit about myself now
