[English]

Last spring, summer, autumn, winter

Spring, summer, autumn, winter have passed

Spring, summer, autumn, winter

Spring, summer, autumn, winter come

Time flows by

Even without you

As if we're together, I call out again

(Say) Spring, summer

(Say) Spring, summer

(Say) Spring, summer, autumn, winter

(Spring) When spring comes, I greet the spring breeze

(Summer) When summer comes, I smile in the warm sunshine

(Autumn) When autumn arrives, I stop at the end of the colorful path

(Winter) When winter comes, I picture you in the white world

I'll remember you forever

I'll go back again

Even if it just flows by like the past four seasons

Following the seasons, my heart

Follows the flowing memories

The four seasons repeating as usual

The past spring, summer, autumn, winter

Spring, summer, autumn, winter have passed

Spring, summer, autumn, winter

Spring, summer, autumn, winter come

Time flows by

Even without you

As if we're together, I call out again

(Say) Spring, summer

(Say) Spring, summer

(Say) Spring, summer, autumn, winter

(Spring) Even if in spring I can't greet you again

(Summer) Even if in summer's hot sun we can't laugh together every day

(Autumn) In autumn, sighing, I stop just for a moment

(Winter) Even when winter comes, I run in the cold world

I'll remember you forever

I'll go back again

Even if it just flows by like the past four seasons

Following the seasons, my heart

Follows the flowing memories

The four seasons repeating as usual

The past spring, summer, autumn, winter

Spring, summer, autumn, winter have passed

Spring, summer, autumn, winter

Spring, summer, autumn, winter come

Time flows by

Even without you

As if we're together, I call out again

(Say) Spring, summer

(Say) Spring, summer

(Say) Spring, summer, autumn, winter

The past spring, summer, autumn, winter

Spring, summer, autumn, winter have passed

Spring, summer, autumn, winter

Spring, summer, autumn, winter come

Time flows by

Even without you

As if we're together, I call out again

(Say) Spring, summer

(Say) Spring, summer

(Say) Spring, summer, autumn, winter

지난 봄 여름 가을 겨울

봄 여름 가을 겨울이 지나

봄 여름 가을 겨울

봄 여름 가을 겨울이 오고

시간이 흘러

너가 없어도

같이 있는 듯 또 불러

(Say) 봄 여름

(Say) 봄 여름

(Say) 봄 여름 가을 겨울

(봄) 봄이 오면 봄바람에 인사를 나누고

(가을) 가을이 올 때면 물든 길 끝에서 멈춰

(겨울) 겨울이 올 때면 하얀 세상 속에 널 그려

언제까지나 기억할게

나는 또다시 돌아갈게

지나간 사계절처럼 그저 흘러가더라도

계절 따라 마음도

추억을 따라 흐르고 있어

언제나처럼 반복되는 사계절

지난 봄 여름 가을 겨울

봄 여름 가을 겨울이 지나

(Say) 봄 여름 가을 겨울

(봄) 봄에 네게 다시는 인사를 못해도

(여름) 여름 햇볕에 뜨거워 매일 같이 웃지는 못해도

(가을) 가을엔 그마저 한숨 쉬듯 잠시 멈춰

(겨울) 겨울이 와도 차가운 세상 속에 난 뛰어

언제까지나 기억할게

나는 또다시 돌아갈게

지나간 사계절처럼 그저 흘러가더라도

계절 따라 마음도

추억을 따라 흐르고 있어

언제나처럼 반복되는 사계절

지난 봄 여름 가을 겨울

봄 여름 가을 겨울이 지나

  ➔ “-아/어도” conditional clause + verb '부르다' (to call/sing).

  ➔ Even though you are not here, it feels like you are with me, and I call out (or sing) again. The '-아/어도' construction indicates a contrast – despite the absence, the feeling of togetherness persists.
