[English]

I love you

I love you so much

These words were so hard to say

When you looked at me

You gave me such a beautiful smile

You are a person who is beautiful inside and out

I guess you don't realize it yet

You tell me to be happy

Even though I'm not okay as I am

But you are my love

You are the only one for me

And now you're trying to leave

What should I do?

Should I just wait for you?

Is it okay if I love you all on my own?

Love is so cruel

You probably don't even know

Because you are such a kind person

You're probably worrying about me first

But you are my love

You are the only one for me

And now you're trying to leave

What should I do?

Should I just wait for you?

Is it okay if I love you all on my own?

Love is so cruel

The only thing I can

Think about is how sorry I am

That's why you're leaving me behind

But you are my love

You are the only one for me

The only one for me

And now you're trying to leave

What should I do?

Is it okay if I miss you?

Can I go on living even though you're gone?

Love is so painful

Because it's love

I long for you so much

[Korean]

사랑합니다

그댈 사랑합니다

이 말 한마디 너무 어려웠죠

그대 내 모습에

그댄 예쁘게 웃었죠

마음까지도 아름다운 사람

그댄 아직 모르나 봐요

행복하라 하네요

내가 그대로 없지 않아요

그댄 내 사랑인데

내겐 한 사람인데

떠나가려 하네요

어떡하죠

기다리면 될까요

혼자서라도 사랑하면 될까요

사랑 참 못됐네요

그대조차 모르겠죠

착한 사람이니까

내가 먼저 걱정이겠죠

그댄 내 사랑인데

내겐 한 사람인데

떠나가려 하네요

어떡하죠

기다리면 될까요

혼자서라도 사랑하면 될까요

사랑 참 못됐네요

미안한 일밖에

생각나지 않네요

그런 날아서 두고 가네요

그댄 내 사랑인데

내겐 한 사람인데

한 사람인데

떠나가려 하네요

어떡하죠

그리워도 될까요

그댄 없는데 살아가도 될까요

사랑 참 아프네요

사랑이라

간절해요
