IU – Celebrity Lyrics
| Korean | Romanization | English |
|---|---|---|
| 세상의 모서리 | Sesange moseori | The world’s edge |
| 구부정하게 커버린 | Gubujunghage keobeorin | Sharply angled |
| 골칫거리 outsider | Golchitgeori outsider | A troubled outsider |
| 걸음걸이, 옷차림 | Georeumgeori, otcharim | The walk, the style |
| 이어폰 너머 playlist | Earphone neomeo playlist | Through the earphones |
| 음악까지 다 minor | Eumakkaji da minor | The music is all minor |
넌 모르지 | Neon moreuji | You have no idea |
| 떨군 고개 위 | Tteolgun gogae wi | Above your lowered head |
| 환한 빛 조명이 | Hwanhan bit jomyungi | What the bright lights are |
| 어딜 비추는지 | Eodil bichuneunji | Shining towards |
| 느려도 좋으니 | Neuryeodo joeuni | It’s fine to take your time |
| 결국 알게 되길 | Gyeolguk alge doegil | But I hope you notice, at last |
| The one and only | The one and only | The one and only |
| You are my celebrity | You are my celebrity | You are my celebrity |
잊지마 | Ijjima | Don’t forget |
| 넌 흐린 어둠 사이 | Neon heurin eodum sai | Among the cloudy dark |
| 왼손으로 그린 별 하나 | Wensoneuro geurin byeol hana | You’re a star painted with a left hand |
| 보이니 | Boini | Can’t you see |
| 그 유일함이 얼마나 아름다운지 말야 | Geu yuilhami eolmana areumdaunji marya | How beautiful a true uniqueness can be |
| You are my celebrity | You are my celebrity | You are my celebrity |
Celebrity | Celebrity | Celebrity |
| You are my celebrity | You are my celebrity | You are my celebrity |
지쳐버린 표정 마치 | Jichyeobeorin pyojung machi | Your weary face looks like |
| 전원을 꺼놓은 듯이 | Jeonwoneul kkeonoeun deusi | Someone powered you off |
| 심장소린 too quiet | Simjangsorin too quiet | The heartbeat went too quiet |
| 네가 가진 반짝거림 | Nega gajin banjjakgeorim | The glow you have |
| 상상력, identity까지 모조리 diet | Sangsangryuk, identitykkaji mojori diet | The imagination, identity are on diet |
넌 모르지 | Neon moreuji | You have no idea |
| 아직 못다 핀 | Ajik motda pin | Still not fully bloomed |
| 널 위해 쓰여진 | Neol wihae sseuyeojin | Written for you |
| 오래된 사랑시 | Oraedoen sarangsi | A bygone love poem |
| 헤매도 좋으니 | Hemaedo joeuni | It’s fine to scowl |
| 웃음 짓게 되길 | Wooseum jigge doegil | But I wish you could smile, at last |
| The one and only | The one and only | The one and only |
| You are my celebrity | You are my celebrity | You are my celebrity |
잊지마 | Ijjima | Don’t forget |
| 넌 흐린 어둠 사이 | Neon heurin eodum sai | Among the cloudy dark |
| 왼손으로 그린 별 하나 | Wensoneuro geurin byeol hana | You’re a star painted with a left hand |
| 보이니 | Boini | Can’t you see |
| 그 유일함이 얼마나 아름다운지 말야 | Geu yuilhami eolmana areumdaunji marya | How beautiful a true uniqueness can be |
| You are my celebrity | You are my celebrity | You are my celebrity |
발자국마다 이어진 별자리 | Baljagukmada ieojin byeoljari | An autograph written in steps |
| 그 서투른 걸음이 새겨놓은 밑그림 | Geu seotureun georeumi saegyeonoeun mitgeurim | A drawing sketched in sullen steps |
| 오롯이 너를 만나러 가는 길 | Orosi neoreul mannareo ganeun gil | The path to meet you solely |
| 그리로 가면 돼 점선을 따라 | Geuriro gamyun dwae jeomseoneul ttara | The path along the dotted line |
잊지마 | Ijjima | Don’t forget |
| 이 오랜 겨울 사이 | Yi oraen gyeoul sai | During the long winter |
| 언 틈으로 피울 꽃 하나 | Eon teumeuro piul kkot hana | A flower can bloom between the frozen cracks |
| 보이니 | Boini | Can’t you see |
| 하루 뒤 봄이 얼마나 아름다울지 말야 | Haru dwi bomi eolmana areumdaulji marya | How beautiful tomorrow’s spring is to be |
| You are my celebrity | You are my celebrity | You are my celebrity |
Celebrity | Celebrity | Celebrity |
| You are my celebrity | You are my celebrity | You are my celebrity |
