[English]

The past spring, summer, autumn, and winter

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter go by

Spring, summer, autumn, winter

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter arrive

Time passes

Even without you

I call again as if we were together

(Say) Spring Summer

(Say) Spring Summer

(Say) Spring Summer Autumn Winter

(Spring) When spring arrives, we exchange greetings in the spring breeze

(Summer) When summer arrives, we smile in the warm sunshine

(Autumn) When autumn arrives, we stop at the end of the colored road

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

I will always remember

I will return again

Even if it simply flows away like the seasons that have passed

The heart also follows the seasons

It flows along with memories

The four seasons repeat as always

The past spring, summer, autumn, and winter

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter go by

Spring, summer, autumn, winter

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter arrive

Time passes

Even without you

I call again as if we were together

(Say) Spring Summer

(Say) Spring Summer

(Say) Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

(Summer) Even if the summer sun is scorching and I can’t smile every day

(Autumn) In autumn, I pause briefly as if sighing

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

I will always remember

I will return again

Even if it simply flows away like the seasons that have passed

The heart also follows the seasons

It flows along with memories

The four seasons repeat as always

The past spring, summer, autumn, and winter

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter go by

Spring, summer, autumn, winter

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter arrive

Time passes

Even without you

I call again as if we were together

(Say) Spring Summer

(Say) Spring Summer

(Say) Spring Summer Autumn Winter

The past spring, summer, autumn, and winter

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter go by

Spring, summer, autumn, winter

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter arrive

Time passes

Even without you

I call again as if we were together

(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

(여름) 여름이 오면 따뜻한 햇살에 웃음을 짓고

(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

(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
