[English]

No matter what I do, everything stays the same

Still, I keep trying anyway

The pain surrounding me

Shows no sign of fading away

It feels like this moment

Will last forever

Time, keep moving—look at me now

Tears fill my eyes as I lift my head

In this blurry world of mine

Where’s the path I should take?

I don’t know, no

When tomorrow comes, it’ll be better than today

This burning wound might hurt a little less

I’ll wait for the day I find my smile again

Maybe tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow

When tomorrow comes, it’ll feel warmer than today

This bone-chilling cold might finally ease

I’ll wait for spring to wrap around my heart

Maybe tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow

I force myself to push through anyway

Hoping the next day will be kinder

Even when I see no progress

I repeat, imagining what lies beyond

When tomorrow comes, it’ll be better than today

This burning wound might hurt a little less

I’ll wait for the day I find my smile again

Maybe tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow

And so on

Tomorrows will keep piling up

And then one day

The day I’ve waited for will arrive

To me

Tomorrow

When tomorrow comes, it’ll feel warmer than today

This bone-chilling cold might finally ease

I’ll wait for spring to wrap around my heart

Maybe tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow

[Korean]

뭘 해도 똑같고 변함없잖아

그래도 뭐라도 하긴 하지만

나를 에워싼 아픔이

가실 기미가 안 보이지

지금이란 게 영원히

계속될 것 같아

시간아 흘러가 이런 날 좀 봐

눈물만 차올라 고갤 들잖아

흐릿해진 내 세상에

걸어갈 길은 어딘지

I don't know, no

내일이 오면 오늘보단 나아지겠지

쓰라리는 이 상처가 좀 덜 아프겠지

미소를 되찾는 날을 기다려

Maybe tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow

내일이 되면 오늘보단 따뜻하겠지

살을 에는 이 추위가 좀 잦아들겠지

내 맘을 감싸 줄 봄을 기다려

Maybe tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow

억지로라도 넘기고 싶어져

왠지 다음은 괜찮을 것 같아서

나아지는 게 안 보여도

그 너머를 상상하며 반복해

내일이 오면 오늘보단 나아지겠지

쓰라리는 이 상처가 좀 덜 아프겠지

미소를 되찾는 날을 기다려

Maybe tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow

And so on

내일이 쌓여가겠지

And then one day

기다리던 날이 오겠지

To me

Tomorrow

내일이 되면 오늘보단 따뜻하겠지

살을 에는 이 추위가 좀 잦아들겠지

내 맘을 감싸 줄 봄을 기다려

Maybe tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow

Key Grammar Structures

• 뭘 해도 똑같고 변함없잖아

  ➔ -잖아 (-(eu)n/neun janha)

  ➔ The ending "-잖아" (-eun/neun janha) is used to state something obvious that the listener already knows or should know. It's like saying "you know?" or "isn't it?" or implying a shared understanding. Here, it emphasizes that things are the same and unchanging, as if both the speaker and the listener are aware of this fact.

• 가실 기미가 안 보이지

  ➔ -ㄹ/을 기미(가) 보이다 (-(eu)l/eul gimiga boida)

  ➔ "-ㄹ/을 기미(가) 보이다" (-(eu)l/eul gimiga boida) means "to show signs of/to have an indication of." It describes that something is showing a tendency to happen or change. In this case, "가실 기미(가) 안 보이다" means "there are no signs of disappearing" referring to the speaker's pain. "가실" is the future adnominal form of "가다" (to go/disappear), indicating that the pain has no sign of leaving.

• 시간아 흘러가 이런 날 좀 봐

  ➔ -아/어/여 가다 (-a/eo/yeo gada)

  ➔ "-아/어/여 가다" (-a/eo/yeo gada) indicates a continuous action or a change over time. "흘러가" (heulleoga) means "flow away," so "시간아 흘러가" (sigana heulleoga) means "time, please flow away." It expresses a desire for time to pass.

• 내일이 오면 오늘보단 나아지겠지

  ➔ -겠- (-get-)

  ➔ "-겠-" (-get-) expresses conjecture, intention, or possibility. Here, it indicates a conjecture or assumption. The sentence means "If tomorrow comes, it will probably be better than today."

• 내 맘을 감싸 줄 봄을 기다려

  ➔ -ㄹ/을 (Adnominal clause)

  ➔ "-ㄹ/을" (-l/eul) is a common adnominal ending that modifies a noun. It transforms a verb into an adjective-like form. In this case, "감싸 줄 봄" (gamssa jul bom) means "spring that will embrace/wrap around." "감싸다" (gamssada) means "to wrap around/embrace," and the -ㄹ ending turns it into a modifier for "봄" (bom - spring).
