ELEVEN Lyrics in English IVE

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song ELEVEN by IVE from Korean to English.
ttabunhan naui nunbichi
The dull look in my eyes
mupyojeonghaetdeon eolguri
The face that used to be expressionless
neol bomyeo binnago isseo
Starts to shine when I look at you
neol dameun nundongjaneun odd
The pupil that hold you, odd
nae ane ppaegokage pieonaneun blue
Blue is densely blooming inside me
naega jigeum neukkineun i gamjeongdeureun true
These emotions I feel right now, true
nae ipsureul ganjireopin natseon geu ireum
That unfamiliar name that tickled my lips
nan molrasseo nae mami iri dachaerounji
I didn't know my heart could be this vibrant
gin kkumeul kkuge hae
You make me dream a long dream
i bangeun jageun heaven
This room is small heaven
chumeul chugon hae
I often dance
silkeot eojireoul mankeum
To the point of feeling dizzy
han kan deo chaeugo isseo
filling one more empty spot
jal bwa
Watch closely
tumyeonghan neowa naui sai
That transparent gap between you and me
gamanhi deuryeodaboda
To quietly look into
ilreongin mulgyeol sogeuro
Into the rippling waves
deo ppajyeodeuneun geol
I fall even deeper
geunal hyanggiroun boratbichui mood
Of that day's fragrant purple mood
sel su eopsi banbokaedo gibun joheun kkum
A sweet dream that feels good however many times it repeats
gamhi nuga ireoke nal seolrege hal jul
Who would've dared to make my heart flutter like this
nan molrasseo nae mami iri dachaerounji
I didn't know my heart could be this vibrant
gin kkumeul kkuge hae
You make me dream a long dream
i bangeun jageun heaven
This room is small heaven
chumeul chugon hae
I often dance
silkeot eojireoul mankeum
To the point of feeling dizzy
han kan deo chaeugo isseo
filling one more empty spot
jal bwa
Watch closely
nae ape itneun neoreul
You, right in front of me
geu nune bichin nareul
Me reflected in those eyes
nae ape itneun neoreul
You, right in front of me
geu nune bichin nareul
Me reflected in those eyes
gamanhi barabwa
Just look quietly
seodulreo ojin ma
Don't come in a rush
i sungani joha nan
I love this moment
micheo molrasseo nae mami iri dachaerounji
I never realized my heart was this colorful
gin kkumeul kkuge hae
You make me dream a long dream
i bangeun jageun heaven
This room is small heaven
chumeul chugon hae
I often dance
silkeot eojireoul mankeum
To the point of feeling dizzy
han kan deo chaeugo isseo
filling one more empty spot

You, right in front of me

You, right in front of me

SONG MEANING

ELEVEN captures the dizzy rush of first love, that fluttery moment when a single glance can paint the world in brighter colors. The singer feels an electric spark the instant her eyes meet someone special, turning an ordinary room into a private dance floor and filling her thoughts with endless daydreams. Every heartbeat counts upward like a playful chant — one, two, three... seven — until she blurts out the magic line, “You make me feel like eleven,” meaning she feels wonderfully young, thrilled, and innocent again, as if love just reset her age.

IVE’s lyrics bounce between dreamy imagery and excited confessions: purple-tinted memories, silky confusion, and a shy wish to freeze the moment forever. It is the sound of realizing, almost in disbelief, that someone can make your emotions bloom, spin, and sparkle all at once. In short, the song is a sugar-rush celebration of new affection where every second feels fresh, vibrant, and impossibly fun.
