What is love?
I wanna know I wanna know
I wanna know know know know
What is love?
I wanna know

I want to know what love means
So I keep looking for it in movies or dramas
Um- but then
Where does this vibrating excitement
Come from?
Um- I really would like to know what’s it like

Ooh- My own prince I’ve only dreamed of so far
Will he ever come true?

I wanna know, they say it’s sweet as honey
I wanna know, they say it’s like your body floats
I wanna know know know know
What is Love? Could it be that, for example?
I wanna know, they say you can’t stop smiling
I wanna know, they say everything seems to shine
I wanna know know know know
What is Love? I want to be able to say what it’s like

I want to experience what it feels like
When love fills you up
Um- but for now I’m alone
If I ever get to experience that indescribable feeling
I think I’d be so overwhelmed I’d burst into tears
Um- I can’t wait to know what it feels like

Ooh how far would I go for that cool guy
I’m destined to meet?

I wanna know, they say it’s sweet as honey
I wanna know, they say it’s like your body floats
I wanna know know know know
What is Love? Could it be that, for example?
I wanna know, they say you can’t stop smiling
I wanna know, they say everything seems to shine
I wanna know know know know
What is Love? I want to be able to say what it’s like

It’s still a long way to go
Till I meet you, whoever you are
When? Where? (Where?) It’s all unknown
Yet, my conviction is as strong as ever
Right now is the perfect timin’
It will surely come true, my love story
My heart is never mistaken
Hurry up and come, my heart’s all ready!

(Where you at?) I wanna find you
(Where you at?) I wanna see you
Now I can’t take it anymore!

They say it’s sweet as honey
They say it’s like your body floats
I wanna know know know know
What is Love? Could it be that, for example?
They say you can’t stop smiling
They say everything seems to shine
I wanna know know know know
What is Love? I want to be able to say what it’s like

I wanna know I wanna know
I wanna know know know know
What is love?
I wanna know I wanna know
What is love?
I wanna know I wanna know
I wanna know know know know
What is love?
I wanna know

5 thoughts on “TWICE – What is Love? (Japanese Ver.)

  1. 1. Some things are different in the romanization

    During Tzuyu’s lines and Nayeon’s last line
    “ieru watashi ni naritai” missing “no” at the end of the line

    During Jeongyeon’s first line
    “shotai” -> shoutai

    During Jihyo’s first line
    “koi wo shita” -> shite
    “sonno” -> sono

    During Momo’s line
    “sonno” -> sono

    During Mina’s second line
    “dareka wo tame ni” -> “no” instead of “wo”

    During the bridge
    “koko na no” -> doko na no

    2. Missing ? at the title

    3. Please capitalize their name “Twice” -> “TWICE”

  2. Hi! I tried translating this song for translation practice and here is what I came up with:

    I want to know what love is,
    In a movie and a drama
    Uh – I will learn
    The bottom of my heart is shivering, this pounding,
    Where does it come from?
    Uh – I want to find out the truth

    Uh – My dream prince
    I wonder if the day where it all becomes apparent will come

    I wanna know the sweet taste of nectar
    I wanna know the feeling of flying
    I wanna know know know know
    What is love? For example, such feelings
    I wanna know these overflowing smiles
    I wanna know everything that shines
    I wanna know know know know
    What is love? I want to be able to tell you

    I am trying to picture
    The figure that is filled with love
    Uh – I’m alone now
    My heart is filling up with this nameless feeling
    I feel like I’m going to cry
    Uh – I’ve been longing for this moment

    Ooh in order to meet someone nice in the future
    What can I do?

    I wanna know the sweet taste of nectar
    I wanna know the feeling of flying
    I wanna know know know know
    What is love? For example, such feelings
    I wanna know these overflowing smiles
    I wanna know everything that shines
    I wanna know know know know
    What is love? I want to be able to tell you

    You who exists in the world
    It won’t be long until we meet
    What time? Where? Everything is unknown
    Still this strong bursting confidence
    Now is the best time
    Surely it will become true, this love story
    My guess is not a miss
    Hurry up my heart is ready!

    (Where are you?) I want to find you
    (Where are you?) I want to see you
    I can’t stop it, no more

    The sweet taste of nectar
    The feeling of flying
    I wanna know know know know
    What is love? For example, such feelings
    These overflowing smiles
    That everything shines
    I wanna know know know know
    What is love? I want to be able to tell you

    I wanna know I wanna know
    I wanna know know know know
    What is love?
    I wanna know I wanna know
    What is love?
    I wanna know I wanna know
    I wanna know know know know
    What is love?
    I wanna know

    1. Correction to my last comment:

      Choruses:

      [Sana/All]: I wanna know [Sana]: amai mitsu no aji datte
      [Sana/All]: I wanna know [Sana]: karada ga chuu ni mau tte
      [Nayeon/All]: I wanna know know know know
      [Chaeyoung/All]: What is love? [Sana]: tatoeba sonna kanji?
      [Sana/All]: I wanna know [Tzuyu]: egao ga afuredasu tte
      [Sana/All]: I wanna know [Tzuyu]: subete ga kagayaku no tte
      [Nayeon/All]: I wanna know know know know
      [Chaeyoung/All]:What is love? [Tzuyu]: ieru watashi ni naritaino

      Bridge:

      [Momo/All]: (doko na no) [Jeongyeon]: mitsuketai
      [Momo/All]: (doko na no) [Nayeon]: aitai kimochi
      [Nayeon]: mou tomerarenai kore ijou

      [Jihyo]: amai mitsu no aji datte
      [Jihyo]: karada ga chuu ni mau tte
      [Nayeon/All]: I wanna know know know know
      [Chaeyoung/All]: What is love?
      [Jihyo]: tatoeba sonna kanji?
      [Nayeon]: egao ga afuredasu tte
      [Nayeon]: subete ga kagayaku no tte
      [NayeonAll]: I wanna know know know know
      [Chaeyoung/All]: What is love? [Nayeon]: ieru watashi ni naritaino

      Post-Bridge:

      [Sana/All]: I wanna know I wanna know
      [Nayeon/All]: I wanna know know know know
      [Chaeyoung/All]: What is love?
      [Nayeon]: I wanna know I wanna know
      [Nayeon]: What is love?
      [Sana/All]: I wanna know I wanna know
      [Nayeon/All]: I wanna know know know know
      [Chaeyoung/All]: What is love?
      [Sana/All]: I wanna know

      Some of these probably don’t need the “/All” after them, but, for differentiating purposes, I put all of them as leading lines

  3. Hi, please update the line distribution because this version is completely different from the original one.

    “I wanna know” is Sana
    “I wanna know know know know” is Nayeon
    “What is love?” is Chaeyoung (which is obvious)

    If you compare it to the korean version, you’ll see that they’re likely made this to be a solo parts rather than all of them (Also please add the intro)
