[English]

한 여자가 멀어져 가

남자는 노래 부르지만

눈물이 나는 걸 이별이란

널 만질 수가 없는걸

I know yeah eh

떨어지는 날 잡아줘 hello

I hate this love song, I hate this love song

I hate this love song, I hate this love song

I hate this love song, I hate this love song

I hate this love song, I hate this love song

이 사랑 노래가 싫어 다신 안 부르리

너를 떠올리지 않게 잊을 수 있게

이 사랑 노래가 싫어 웃으며 부르리

그대가 외롭지 않게 지금 너에게로

난 ooh ooh ooh ooh

난 ooh ooh ooh ooh

난 두려워 이 세상은 의미없어

달과 별이 있는

너 있는 그 곳에 데려가줘

우린 아름다웠는데

You know 내게 사랑을

가르쳐준 너 hello

I hate this love song, I hate this love song

I hate this love song, I hate this love song

I hate this love song, I hate this love song

I hate this love song, I hate this love song

이 사랑 노래가 싫어 다신 안 부르리

너를 떠올리지 않게 잊을 수 있게

이 사랑 노래가 싫어 웃으며 부르리

그대가 외롭지 않게 지금 너에게로

난 ooh ooh ooh ooh

난 ooh ooh ooh ooh

따스한 햇살 또 다른 세상

쓸쓸히 춤추는 갈대밭

푸른 언덕 위 난 여전히

그녀와의 못다한 대화

아무 대답 없는 (대답 없는)

무표정한 저 하늘 (저 하늘)

흰 구름 뒤에 숨어 있겠지

넌 별이 됐겠지 (Let's go)

눈 감고 네 숨결을 느껴 네 꿈을 꿔

내 입가에 번진 미소

지금 난 너와 숨을 쉬어

시간아 멈춰

그녀와 날 갈라놓지 말아

바람아 멈춰

네게 보내는 마지막 편지 한 장

이 사랑 노래가 싫어 다신 안 부르리

너를 떠올리지 않게 잊을 수 있게

이 사랑 노래가 싫어 웃으며 부르리

그대가 외롭지 않게 지금 너에게로

난 ooh ooh ooh ooh

난 ooh ooh ooh ooh

I hate this love song
