[English]

My reflection in the mirror feels so empty, so hollow

Walking alone down the street, it feels so empty, so hollow

Da-ra-dat-dat-dat-dat-dat-dat, baby, don't worry

The morning after waking from that dream is so hollow

Realizing everything

Not the alarm bell

It's so flat

Only the wind blows

Without you, I'm a coward

Your pitying gaze

No, what a day

My reflection in the mirror feels so empty, with no smile on my face

Walking alone down the street, it feels so empty, so hollow, just like my quiet heart

Da-ra-dat-dat-dat-dat-dat-dat, baby, don't worry (da-dat-dat-dat-da-ra)

The morning after waking from that dream is so hollow, my heart feels so empty

It's over, my dear, where are you now?

Now we’ve become memories, we were happy

Don’t forget me, let’s meet again

The days, the days

The days, the days

Have become memories

You and I, it’s over

It seems so

My mind is so cluttered

Feels like it’s all hollow

Everything’s the same

My reflection in the mirror feels so empty, with no smile on my face

Walking alone down the street, it feels so empty, so hollow, just like my quiet heart

Da-ra-dat-dat-dat-dat-dat-dat, baby, don't worry (da-dat-dat-dat-da-ra)

The morning after waking from that dream is so hollow, my heart feels so empty

It's over, my dear, where are you now?

Now we’ve become memories, we were happy

Don’t forget me, let’s meet again

Ah

Gradually

You

My changed appearance, unlike before, is becoming frightening

I'm afraid to see how I’m weakening

My surroundings without you are so heavy, even the air feels so burdensome

The morning after waking from that dream, reality

It's over, my dear, where are you now?

Now we’ve become memories, we were happy

Don’t forget me, let’s meet again

...

[Korean]

거울 속에 내 모습은 텅 빈 것처럼 공허해

혼자 길을 걸어봐도 텅 빈 거리 너무 공허해

Da-ra-dat-dat-dat-dat-dat-dat, baby, don't worry

너란 꿈에서 깬 현실의 아침은 공허해

자각해

아닌 알람벨

넓적해

바람만 부네

너 없인 겁쟁이

동정의 눈빛이

No, what a day

거울 속에 내 모습은 텅 빈 것처럼 공허해 (미소가 없어 표정엔)

혼자 길을 걸어봐도 텅 빈 거린 너무 공허해 (내 마음처럼 조용해)

Da-ra-dat-dat-dat-dat-dat-dat, baby, don't worry (da-dat-dat-dat-da-ra)

너란 꿈에서 깬 현실의 아침은 공허해 (내 마음이 너무 공허해)

끝이 났네요, 나의 그대여, 어디 있나요?

이제 우린 추억이 됐죠, 행복했어요

날 잊지 말아요, 또 다시 만나요

날들, 날들

날들, 날들

추억이 되어

그대와 나는 over

것 같애

머리가 복잡해

텅 빈 것 같이

똑같애

거울 속에 내 모습은 텅 빈 것처럼 공허해 (미소가 없어 표정엔)

혼자 길을 걸어봐도 텅 빈 거린 너무 공허해 (내 마음처럼 조용해)

Da-ra-dat-dat-dat-dat-dat-dat, baby, don't worry (da-dat-dat-dat-da-ra)

너란 꿈에서 깬 현실의 아침은 공허해 (내 마음이 너무 공허해)

끝이 났네요, 나의 그대여, 어디 있나요?

이제 우린 추억이 됐죠, 행복했어요

날 잊지 말아요, 또 다시 만나요

아

점점

그대가

예전 같지 않은 내 모습이 점점 두려워

약해져만 가는 내 자신을 보기가 무서워

너가 없는 내 주위는 공기 조차 무거워

너란 꿈에서 깬 현실의 아침이

끝이 났네요, 나의 그대여, 어디 있나요?

이제 우린 추억이 됐죠, 행복했어요

날 잊지 말아요, 또 다시 만나요
