[English]

Before I knew it, that cold

white snow of the long winter

melts away with the gentle spring breeze.

It's all melting away.

Can I love someone again?

사랑할 수 있으려나요

On a dazzling, warm spring day

The two people who were so hateful

scratching at each other,

I don't even know if it was me or her,

I seem to have forgotten.

That winter, that winter,

I miss us so much back then.

I hate it, but I miss it.

Opening my window slightly, with a big heart,

under the dazzling spring sunlight,

cold snow is falling.

Into my small room, into my empty heart,

that painful scar

seems to be flaring up again.

Snow falls in the early spring.

The tears that streamed down,

are even cold.

Will spring come to me too?

Wanting to love someone again,

I walk the streets like crazy,

and cold snow is falling.

On my eyes, on this unworthy heart,

that painful scar

seems to be flaring up again.

Snow falls in the early spring.

White memories are falling, oh-whoa

The tears that streamed down,

are even cold,

Will spring come to me too? Whoa

Will a 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?
