Sweet Friday
Awu • From “Re:Frame”
Sweet Friday Lyrics Translation (from “Re:Frame”)
Jo Youngbae describes the slow, boring drag of a week spent waiting for a lover. The narrator counts each passing day and stares at the clock, wishing time would move faster. He makes his request clear by asking his partner, ‘Oh baby, please be my sweet Friday’ (Oh baby, please be my sweet Friday), turning a calendar day into a personal promise.
