[English]

I hoped it wouldn't stop

On the day you first came to me

Not just a shower that wets for a little while

I earnestly wished it so

Do you know my heart too?

The me who drew only you every day

Even today, seeps into my heart

You are a gift

Sent down from the sky

In this world where I stand alone

I'll protect you

One day, suddenly, like a shower

You came down to me

Even today, I call for you

My precious person

The falling raindrops

Soon wake me up

I'm lost in thoughts of you

Now, come to me

I'm waiting as always

I'll hold your hand tightly

You are a gift

Sent down from the sky

In this world where I stand alone

I'll protect you

One day, suddenly, like a shower

You came down to me

Even today, I call for you

My precious person

Even painful memories I wanted to forget

Can be washed away with the raindrops

Even if tired sometimes

Even if the sky clouds over

Don't forget that I'm here

You are love

My one and only love

There won't be anyone like you again

I don't forget those cherished memories

Not even one small one

Even today, I engrave them

You, who are a gift to me

[Korean]

그치지 않기를 바랬죠

처음 그대 내게로 오던 그날에

잠시 동안 적시는 그런 비가 아니길

간절히 난 바래왔었죠

그대도 내 맘 아나요

매일 그대만 그려왔던 나를

오늘도 내 맘에 스며들죠

그대는 선물입니다

하늘이 내려준

홀로 선 세상 속에

그댈 지켜줄게요

어느 날 문득 소나기처럼

내린 그대지만

오늘도 불러봅니다

내겐 소중한 사람

떨어지는 빗물이

어느새 날 깨우고

그대 생각에 잠겨요

이제는 내게로 와요

언제나처럼 기다리고 있죠

그대 손을 꼭 잡아줄게요

그대는 선물입니다

하늘이 내려준

홀로 선 세상 속에

그댈 지켜줄게요

어느 날 문득 소나기처럼

내린 그대지만

오늘도 불러봅니다

내겐 소중한 사람

잊고 싶던 아픈 기억들도

빗방울과 함께 흘려보내면 돼요

때로는 지쳐도

하늘이 흐려와도

내가 있다는 거 잊지 말아요

그대는 사랑입니다

하나뿐인 사랑

다시는 그대와 같은 사람 없을테니

잊지 않아 내 귀추웠던

작은 기억 하나도

오늘도 새겨봅니다

내겐 선물인 그대
