Live My Life Lyrics (English Translation) – aespa (에스파)

[Verse: Karina, (Ningning)]
Bye to the boring
Rigid way of thinking
Say (Say) what you really mean
Don’t lie to yourself

[Pre-Chorus: Winter, Giselle, (Ningning)]
You and me
Our dreams are just drawn different
But you (You) and me (Me)
Keep believing

[Chorus: All]
I live my life
Break out from the box that defined me
Your obvious way of thinking
I live my life
Now it truly begins this life I’ve chosen
The protagonist of my life is me

[Post-Chorus]
Anticipate, live my life
Freshly, live my life
Oh, vigorously, live my life
Shout out, live my life

[Verse 2]
Keep shining eyes
Better idea
Confident expression lightly
Moving change
Make it a new thing
That’s right, another
Beginning

[Pre-Chorus]
You and me
Our dreams are just drawn different
But you (You) and me (Me)
Keep believing

[Chorus]
I live my life
Break out from the box that defined me
Your obvious way of thinking
I live my life
Now it truly begins this life I’ve chosen
The protagonist of my life is me

[Post-Chorus]
Anticipate, live my life (Even when it’s tough)
Freshly, live my life (The precious light that comes to me)
Oh, vigorously, live my life (Don’t give up, believe in yourself)
Shout out, live my life (Your life is precious)

[Bridge: Giselle, Ningning, Karina, Karina & Ningning, *Winter*]
Can’t stop time and life’s too short (Life)
No more, I don’t care (No)
Don’t tie me down
There’s no right answer to life, you know best
You just live your life (*Ooh*)
True to myself, that’s how I’ll live

[Chorus: All, Winter, Ningning]
I live my life (Ooh)
I’m not scared anymore
No hesitating (Oh)
Life is like a miracle
I live my life (Ooh)
Now it truly begins this life I’ve chosen
The protagonist of my life is me (Oh)

[Post-Chorus: Karina, Winter, (All)]
Betcha I’ll live my life (My life, my life, my life, my life)
Brand new I’ll live my life (My life, my life, my life, my life)
Oh, all out, live my life (My life, my life, my life, my life)
Say it loud, live my life (My life, my life, my life, my life)
Life
