DELU Lyrics (English Translation) – JEON SOMI (전소미)

DELU (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
She’s frustrated and calling the other person out for their bad behavior. They caused unnecessary chaos and played the victim in a one-sided drama. She never imagined things ending this way, and she’s baffled about why they’re putting the blame on her.

[Verse 1]
She’s mocking them for pretending to be strong while being petty inside. They held onto things unnecessarily and failed to keep her interested. For her, it’s already over, and she’s tired of people who chase after her when it’s too late.

[Pre-Chorus]
She’s pointing out their habit of spreading gossip and tells them to keep quiet. The chasing is pointless because the moment has passed. Whatever interest she might have had is gone, and now she’s certain she doesn’t want them anymore.

[Chorus]
She says that even if they cross paths or end up in the same place, they should just ignore each other. She’s wishing them luck finding someone else, maybe their ideal “Cinderella,” but it’s clear that person won’t be her. She believes they should aim higher but with someone else entirely.

[Verse 2]
She questions why they can’t simply walk away, pointing out that staying is just wasting time. Her feelings have changed quickly, and the emotional ties between them are coming undone. She makes it clear there’s nothing they can say or do to change the outcome.

[Pre-Chorus]
She repeats her view that they’re outwardly big but emotionally small, holding onto things that should be let go. Whatever spark there was is gone, and it’s far too late to fix things. She’s over the chase and fed up with their rumor-spreading, wanting nothing to do with them anymore.

[Chorus]
She says again that if they see each other, they should just pass by without interaction. Even if they end up close enough to dance, it’s better to turn away. She tells them to go find someone else who might accept them, but it definitely won’t be her.

[Bridge]
She calls out their version of events as pure fantasy. No matter how much they cling to it, it will never come true. She admits she has struggled but ultimately chose to walk away, letting them and their fake love go free.

[Chorus]
She keeps her stance that any future encounters should be brief and distant. There’s no point in pretending they could reconnect. She wishes them well in finding someone who might care, but repeats that she’s not the one for them anymore.

[Post-Chorus]
She throws in sharp jabs, calling them delusional and telling them to be quiet. She insists the time to fix things has long passed. No matter what they think happened, she’s done with the situation and wants nothing to do with it.
