Original lyrics: (x)
‘공과 사 (0&4)’ combines rhythmical guitar sounds with witty lyrics, using both numbers for wordplays and ad-libs full of mischief. The members wrote the song reminiscing about being young, having a crush, and going totally blank in front of them, acting like idiots and telling themselves, “Just learn to separate public and private matters!”.

[Lyrics]
야야야 너
Ya Ya Ya, you
공과 사 좀 구분해
Learn to separate public and private matters⁽¹⁾
예의범절이 없네
You really have no concept of common manners
에 에 에 어
Eh Eh Eh Uh
공과 사 좀 구분해
Learn to separate public and private matters⁽¹⁾
왜 아직 눈치를 못 채
Why have you not noticed yet
에 에 에 어
Eh Eh Eh Uh
mayday 누가 나 좀 구해줘 봐
Mayday, Can someone try to get me out of here
여긴 너무 추워 너만 몰라
It’s so cold here, you’re the only one not noticing it
1절넘어 가면 지루해
It gets boring after the 1st verse
누가 좀 눌러봐 간주점프
Can someone try to press fast forward, jumping to the chorus
하 하 억지 웃음은 아니야
Ha Ha I’m not forcing myself to laugh
아 방금 그거는 쫌 아니야
Ah, That thing just now, that’s a bit too much
상처 받지 말고 들어봐
Don’t let it hurt you, just listen to me
아 진짜 네 얘긴 아냐
Ah, It’s really not about you
공과 사 좀 구분해
Learn to separate public and private matters⁽¹⁾

Separate, Separate, Separate
제발 좀 구분해
I beg of you, please just do it
공과 사 좀 구분해
Learn to separate public and private matters⁽¹⁾

Take, Take, Take
눈치채
Take a hint
calm down 누가 쟤 좀 말려줘 봐
Calm down, Can someone try to stop them
지금 mood 와는 다르잖아
You know we’re not in the mood for that right now
절대 졸고 있던 건 아냐
Of course, I would never be dozing off
근데 방금 뭐라고 한 거야
But what were you saying just now
하 하 눈치 주는 건 아니야
Ha Ha It’s not that I’m judging your attitude
아 방금 그거는 쫌 아니야
Ah, That thing just now, that’s a bit too much
상처 받지 말고 들어봐
Don’t let it hurt you, just listen to me
아 진짜 네 얘긴 아냐
Ah, It’s really not about you
공 과 사 생 과 사 눈치 좀 채
Private and public, life and death, please take a hint
커피를 내게 권하지마
Don’t offer to buy me coffee
카페인 섭취는 수치야 미안
I’m watching my caffeine intake, sorry
조만간 종로에 가
Go to Jongno in just a bit
장비를 다 쓸어 담아
Take with you all the tools there⁽³⁾
Um um um 내 wallet은
Um um um My wallet
원래 두 손 두둑이 현금
Is normally full of cash
이거 다 뻥이에요 미안해요 미안해
All of this is just a lie, I am sorry, I’m sorry
나 트리플A형 겸손해야 해요 미안해
I’m a triple A blood type⁽⁴⁾, I should be humble, I’m sorry
이 가사도 10분안에 정말 칭찬해
Those lyrics too, took me less than 10 minutes, I deserves high praises
우리 집 비밀번호 0 4 0 4
The keycode to our house is 0 4 0 4

난 왜 눈치가 없는지
Why can’t I notice things
바보처럼 너만 보면 돌이 되는지
Why do I turn into a stone at the simple sight of you, like a fool
어제 연습한 건 모두다 잊었는지
Why did I forget everything I rehearsed yesterday
넌 왜 날 안 보는 거니
Why won’t you look at me
눈치 없게 방금한 그 말 때문이니
Is it because of what I’ve said just now without thinking
공과사도 구분 못 하는 내 탓이니
Is it my fault that I can’t distinguish public matters from private ones

What are you even saying
⁽¹⁾ (T/N: ‘공과 사 (gong-gwa sa)’ can be translated, like here, as ‘public and private matters’. ‘공 (gong)’ means ‘whole’, ‘a group/an organisation’ as well as ‘society/community’. ‘사 (sa)’ means ‘individual’, ‘part of a whole’ or ‘an entity’. ‘과 (gwa)’ means ‘and’. The pronunciation of those words is also the same as the sino-korean numbers ‘0&4’, ‘zero’ being pronounced as ‘공 (gong)’ and ‘four’ as ‘사 (sa)’)
⁽²⁾ (T/N: This is only my own interpretation but, by repeating ‘2+2 [=] 4’, with ‘four’ being synonymous to everything related to ‘private matters’, like explained above, they could be laying emphasis on the idea that ‘privacy’ is something really simple to understand and/or very basic to know, similar to ‘2+2 = 4’, despite their interlocutor seemingly not getting it)
⁽³⁾ (T/N: ‘종로 (Jongno)’ is a trunk road located in Seoul. Dongdaemun Market, one of the most well-known wholesale and retail shopping places in Korea, where you can buy a lot of different tools, is close-by)
⁽⁴⁾ (T/N: “A pseudoscientific belief exists in Japan and South Korea, that a person's ABO blood type is predictive of a person's personality, temperament, and compatibility with others. This superstition is similar to how astrological signs are perceived as influencing factors in a person's life in other countries {Wikipedia}“.
‘Triple A’ seems to be used to describe people who would have three times more of the qualities or flaws of a typical A person)
⁽⁵⁾ (T/N: ‘구분해 (gubunhae)’ here is written as ‘9분해’. The sino-korean number ‘9’ has the same pronunciation as the the first character, ‘gu’, and the character ‘분’ also means 'minutes'. In that sense, the word could be understood not only as ‘separate’ but also as ‘do it in 9 minutes’)
