JELLY Lyrics In English Translation – Number_i

[Verse 1]
In this verse, the singer reminisces about a playful moment with his ex-partner in front of a convenience store, where hints of affection were missed. The lighthearted nature of the scene contrasts with the deeper regret the singer feels for not recognizing the opportunity at the time. His actions—trying to act cool and composed—only highlight his internal conflict as his heart races with excitement whenever he’s near the person. The singer reflects on his hard work and dedication, feeling frustration over how his emotions interfere with his normally confident persona. Despite his achievements, he is haunted by memories of the person’s scent and the emotional connection they shared.

[Chorus]
In the chorus, the singer expresses his emotions through the metaphor of jelly, asking what kind of taste his "I love you" holds now that their summer has ended. The jelly represents his emotions, which, like a sweet treat, have begun to spoil as the relationship fades away. He’s unable to express his true feelings, fearing that harsh words will destroy whatever is left of the connection. The chorus captures his struggle to move on from the relationship, as the scent of summer perfume blends with the jelly, symbolizing how the memory of their time together lingers even as it fades.

[Verse 2]
In this verse, the singer envisions his feelings evaporating like jelly and wonders if the person will catch a trace of the scent, perhaps remembering their shared moments. He reflects on how they are no longer together, as fireworks—once beautiful—leave behind only charred remnants. The singer tries to distract himself with a new interest in fragrances, but the memories of the summer they spent together continue to haunt him. He fears the end of their relationship, and the scent of his memories becomes a symbol of what they’ve lost.

[Interlude]
The interlude serves as a brief, introspective moment in which the singer reflects on the name "Number_i," possibly highlighting his internal connection to the group and the shared memories with his former partner.

[Chorus]
The chorus is repeated, reinforcing the singer's emotional turmoil. The jelly, now representing the singer's love and memories, continues to melt as he struggles to hold onto the remnants of summer. His inability to voice his feelings traps him in a cycle of regret, as the memory of the summer and its perfume slowly dissolves, much like the jelly itself. The repeating line suggests a continuous, unresolved tension as he grapples with letting go.
