[English]

Today, you seem unusually not smiling

You look somehow sad

When I ask if something's wrong

You turn your head and say it's fine

With a single drop of your tear, my sky collapses

A deep sigh tears my heart apart

I’ll be your light, please take away the shadows now

On that angelic face

I hope no small wounds appear on you

I wish for that

Even your sadness, I hope you entrust to me, Ma Baby

모두 맡겼으면 해 Ma Baby

Please don’t frown

Baby, you look prettier when you smile

Please don’t make such a sad face

Seeing you makes my heart ache so much, Oh Oh

Yes, smile at me like that

Please don’t frown that pretty face

Don’t hide it, just tell me

I’ll hold you without saying a word

So that all your wounds can heal

In my embrace

I want to fill your beautiful eyes with only beautiful things

I’ll make you smile with those lips

I’ll be your light, please take away the shadows now

On that angelic face

I hope no small wounds appear on you

I wish for that

Even your sadness, I hope you entrust to me, Ma Baby

Please don’t frown

Baby, you look prettier when you smile

Please don’t make such a sad face

그렇게 슬픈 표정하지 말아요

Seeing you makes my heart ache so much, Oh Oh

Yes, smile at me like that

Please don’t frown that pretty face

Even if everyone leaves, I only need you

I want you to be happy like that inside me

If I can just protect you

I wouldn’t mind even my whole world

Please don’t frown

Baby, you look prettier when you smile

Please don’t make such a sad face

Seeing you makes my heart ache so much, Oh Oh

Yes, smile at me like that

Please don’t frown that pretty face

[Korean]

오늘따라 유난히 웃지 않는

네가 왠지 슬퍼 보여

무슨 일이 있냐는 나의 말에

괜찮다며 고갤 돌려

너의 눈물 한 방울에 내 하늘은 무너져 내려

깊게 내쉬는 한숨이 내 맘을 찢어

난 너의 빛이 될게, 그림자를 거둬줘 이제

그 천사 같은 얼굴에

작은 상처 하나도 너에겐

생기지 않기를 원해

너의 슬픔 조차도 나에게

모두 맡겼으면 해 Ma Baby

얼굴 찌푸리지 말아요

Baby 넌 웃는 게 더 예뻐

그렇게 슬픈 표정하지 말아요

널 보면 내 맘이 너무 아파 Oh Oh

그래 그렇게 날 보며 웃어줘

그 예쁜 얼굴 찌푸리지 말아줘

숨기지 말고 내게 말해줘

아무 말 없이 널 안아줄게

내 품 안에서 네 상처

다 아물 수 있게

늘 아름다운 것만 담아주고 싶어 예쁜 두 눈에

미소만 짓게 해줄게 그 입술에

난 너의 빛이 될게, 그림자를 거둬줘 이제

그 천사 같은 얼굴에

작은 상처 하나도 너에겐

생기지 않기를 원해

너의 슬픔 조차도 나에게

모두 맡겼으면 해 Ma Baby

얼굴 찌푸리지 말아요

Baby 넌 웃는 게 더 예뻐

그렇게 슬픈 표정하지 말아요

널 보면 내 맘이 너무 아파 Oh Oh

그래 그렇게 날 보며 웃어줘

그 예쁜 얼굴 찌푸리지 말아줘

모두가 떠나도 난 너만 있으면 돼

그렇게 내 안에서 행복하길 원해

널 지킬 수만 있다면

아깝지 않아 내 세상마저도

얼굴 찌푸리지 말아요

Baby 넌 웃는 게 더 예뻐

그렇게 슬픈 표정하지 말아요

널 보면 내 맘이 너무 아파 Oh Oh

그래 그렇게 날 보며 웃어줘

그 예쁜 얼굴 찌푸리지 말아줘
