[English]

Before I realized, that chill

Even the white snow in the long winter

Gentle spring breezes

All of it melts away

Will I ever again

be able to love someone?

On bright, warm spring days

when we used to curse so much

the two of us who scratched each other

Forgot whether it was me

or her

That winter, that winter

We truly miss those moments

We miss it, we miss it so much

Summoning courage, I barely opened my window

under the dazzling spring sunshine

Cold snow falls

In my tiny, empty room and my hollow heart

The wound that once hurt

Seems to flare up again

Snow falls on an early spring day

It drips down

Even my tears turn cold

Will spring come to me too?

Longing to love someone again

I wander the streets like a mad person

Cold snow falls

On my eyes, on this clumsy heart

The wound that once hurt

Seems to flare up again

Snow falls on an early spring day

White memories fall down, oh‑whoa

It drips down

Even my tears are cold

Will spring come to me? Whoa

Will the warm spring day

come?

[Korean]

어느새 그 차가웠던

긴 겨울에 하얀 눈도

스르륵 봄바람에

다 녹아내려요

다시 또 누군가를

사랑할 수 있으려나요

눈부신 따스한 봄날엔

그토록 욕해대고

할퀴어대던 두 사람이

나였는지 그녀였는지

조차 잊어버린 듯

그 겨울, 그 겨울이

그때 우리가 참 그리워

미운데, 미운데 그리워

큰맘 먹고 살짝 열어본 내 창가에

눈부신 봄날 햇살 아래로

차디찬 눈이 내려요

작은 내 방에 내 텅 빈 가슴에

그 아팠던 상처가

또다시 덧나려는 듯

이른 봄날에 눈이 내려요

주르륵 흘러내린

내 눈물마저도 차네요

내게도 봄날이 올까요?

누군갈 또다시 사랑하고 싶어서

미친 듯 거리를 걸어봐도

차디찬 눈이 내려요

내 두 눈가에 이 못난 가슴에

그 아팠던 상처가

또다시 덧나려는 듯

이른 봄날에 눈이 내려요

하얗게 추억들이 내려요 oh-whoa

주르륵 흘러내린

내 눈물마저 차가운데

내게도 봄날이 올까요? Whoa

따스한 봄날이

올까요?
