Lyrics & Translation

[Korean]

[English]

안녕, 오랜만이야

Hello, it's been a while

물음표 없이 참 너다운 목소리

Without a question mark, your voice is so you

정해진 규칙처럼

Like a set rule

추운 문가에 늘 똑같은 네 자리

At the cold door, your spot is always the same

...

...

제대로 잘 먹어, 다 지나가니까

Eat well, it will all pass

예전처럼 잠도 잘 자게 될 거야

You'll sleep well again like before

진심으로 빌게 너는 더

I sincerely wish that you

행복할 자격이 있어

Deserve to be happy

...

...

그런 말은 하지 마 제발

Please don't say that

그 말이 더 아픈 거 알잖아

You know those words hurt more

사랑해줄 거라며, 다 뭐야?

You said you'd love me, what does that mean?

어떤 맘을 준 건지 너는 모를 거야

You probably don't know what kind of feelings you gave

...

...

외로웠던 만큼 너를 너보다

As lonely as I was, I hope you meet

사랑해줄 사람 꼭 만났으면 해

Someone who loves you more than you do

내가 아니라서 미안해

I'm sorry it's not me

주는 게 쉽지가 않아

It's not easy to give

...

...

그런 말은 하지 마 제발

Please don't say that

그 말이 더 아픈 거 알잖아

You know those words hurt more

사랑해줄 거라며, 다 뭐야?

You said you'd love me, what does that mean?

어떤 맘을 준 건지 끝내 모를

You will never know what kind of feelings you gave

...

...

솔직히 말해줄래 제발?

Can you please be honest with me?

너라면 다 믿는 거 알잖아

You know I would believe anything you say

네 말대로 언젠가

Like you said, someday

나도 나 같은 누군가에게 사랑받게 될까?

Will I be loved by someone like me?

...

...
