I have the legs of a baepsae*, you have the legs of a stork
They said, “my legs are worth a million dollars”
Mine are short, how can you do the same events

Translator’s Notes:
* 뱁새/Baepsae is a Korean Crow-Tit but it is also used to call someone who ruins themselves by trying to imitate/copy people who are better than them.
It comes from the saying 뱁새가 황새 걸음을 걸으면 가랑이가 찢어진다 meaning “If a crow-tit walks like a stork, it will tear its legs”
** Refers to the crow-tit trying to copy the stork by spreading its legs
*** Meaning well-off or fortunate
**** The media calls the recent generations who give up on childbirth, marriage, love, dating, etc and they are refer to as 3 / 4 / 5포 세대
***** Meaning that he’s cringing
