전반전, 아직까진 전반전

jeon-ban-jeon, a-jik-kka-jin jeon-ban-jeon

끝이 보여? 건방져, 시작이 반이니, 이제 시작이지 대장정

kkeut-i bo-yeo? geon-bang-jyeo, si-jak-i ban-i-ni, i-je si-jak-i-ji dae-jang-jeong

울리는 whistle, 다 멈칫할 때, hustle

ul-ri-neun whistle, da meom-chis-hal ttae, hustle

발휘하지, 허를 찌를 기술

bal-hwi-ha-ji, heo-reul jji-reul gi-sul

기회를 못 잡고, 헛발질
