📖 M/V & Lyrics

마음이 울적하고 답답할 땐
산으로 올라가 소리를 한 번 질러봐
나처럼 이렇게 가슴을 펴고
꿍따리 샤바라 빠빠빠빠

누구나 세상을 살다 보면은
마음먹은 대로 되지 않을 때가 있어
그럴 땐 나처럼 노래를 불러봐
꿍따리 샤바라 빠빠빠빠

기쁨과 슬픔이 엇갈리고
좌절과 용기가 교차되고
만남과 이별을 나누면서
그렇게 우리는 살아가고
뜻대로 되지 않을 때도 있고
마음먹은 대로 될 때도 있어
다 그런 거야
누구나 세상은 그렇게 돌아가니까

다 그렇게 사는 거야
희비가 엇갈리는 세상 속에서
내일이 다시 찾아오기에
우리는 희망을 안고 사는 거야

마음대로 일이 되지 않을 때
하던 일을 멈추고 여행을 떠나 봐
바다를 찾아가 소리를 질러봐
꿍따리 샤바라 빠빠빠빠

꿍따리 샤바라 빠빠빠
빠빠 빠빠빠 빠빠빠
꿍따리 샤바라 빠빠빠
빠빠 빠빠빠 빠빠빠

우울한 날이 계속 이어질 땐
신나는 음악에 신나게 춤을 춰봐
나처럼 이렇게 리듬에 맞춰
꿍따리 샤바라 빠빠빠빠

누구나 괴로운 일은 있는 것
한 가지 생각에 너무 집착하지 마
그럴 땐 나처럼 툭툭 털면서
꿍따리 샤바라 빠빠빠빠

기쁨과 슬픔이 엇갈리고
좌절과 용기가 교차되고
만남과 이별을 나누면서
그렇게 우리는 살아가고
뜻대로 되지 않을 때도 있고
마음먹은 대로 될 때도 있어
다 그런 거야
누구나 세상은 그렇게 돌아가니까

다 그렇게 사는 거야
희비가 엇갈리는 세상 속에서
내일이 다시 찾아오기에
우리는 희망을 안고 사는 거야

마음대로 일이 되지 않을 때
하던 일을 멈추고 여행을 떠나 봐
바다를 찾아가 소리를 질러봐

When your heart feels gloomy and heavy,
go up a mountain and shout out loud—
open your chest like I do,
Kungdari Shabara, bba bba bba bba!

Sometimes as you go through life,
things don’t go the way you planned.
When that happens, try singing like I do,
Kungdari Shabara, bba bba bba bba!

Joy and sorrow intertwine,
frustration and courage cross paths.
As we meet and part again,
that’s how we go on living.
Sometimes things don’t work out,
sometimes they go just as you hoped.
That’s how it is—
the world goes around like that for everyone.

That’s just how life is.
In this world where joy and sorrow mingle,
because tomorrow will come again,
we live holding on to hope.

When things don’t go your way,
stop what you’re doing and go on a trip.
Go to the ocean and shout it out—
Kungdari Shabara, bba bba bba bba!

Kungdari Shabara bba bba bba
bba bba bba bba bba bba
Kungdari Shabara bba bba bba
bba bba bba bba bba bba


When gloomy days keep dragging on,
dance along to some upbeat music.
Move with the rhythm like I do—
Kungdari Shabara, bba bba bba bba!

Everyone has hard times.
Don’t get stuck on just one thought.
When that happens, shake it off like I do—
Kungdari Shabara, bba bba bba bba!

Joy and sorrow intertwine,
frustration and courage cross paths.
As we meet and part again,
that’s how we go on living.
Sometimes things don’t work out,
sometimes they go just as you hoped.
That’s how it is—
the world goes around like that for everyone.

That’s just how life is.
In this world where joy and sorrow mingle,
because tomorrow will come again,
we live holding on to hope.

When things don’t go your way,
stop what you’re doing and go on a trip.
Go to the ocean and shout it out—
Kungdari Shabara, bba bba bba bba!

Kungdari Shabara bba bba bba
bba bba bba bba bba bba
Kungdari Shabara bba bba bba
bba bba bba bba bba bba
