Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I think I was like that

No matter where you were

If I heard you calling, I’d run without hesitation

Back then

Back then

My young heart

Must’ve been full of mischievous pranks

What this feeling was when I saw you smiling

I never learned how

So I couldn’t express it

My heart was clumsy

I lived each day wanting to become your tomorrow

From the day I first saw you until now

You’re the only one in my heart

Though I’m only now saying these obvious words

Will these simple words reach you?

Yeah

Thank you

Thank you

Though it’s just another thank you

All the waiting

All the longing

Even our memories

Thank you

Yeah

Thank you

The words are too common – would my heart fit in them?

My fear kept me silent

Searching for prettier words than “thank you”

I couldn’t say it properly

I couldn’t express it

Lacked the courage

If I’d known the word “love” sooner

From the day I first saw you until now

You’re the only one in my heart

Though I’m only now saying these obvious words

Will these simple words reach you?

Yeah

Thank you

Thank you

Though it’s just another thank you

All the waiting

What love means

To you who showed me

Thank you

My heart won’t change

It’ll never change

Even if you erase me

We won’t change

Engraved

In each other’s hearts

(Engraved forever)

Thank you

Yeah

To you

To you

I hope this reaches

This song

Thank you

Thank you

[Korean]

[조슈아] 난 그랬던 것 같아

네가 어디 있던지

들릴 때라면 고민도 없이 뛰어 갔었던

[우지] 그때

그때

[정한] 어렸던 내 마음은

짓궂은 장난이 다였나 봐

[준] 웃는 너를 보는 내 기분이 뭔지

[디에잇] 배운 적 없어서

[에스쿱스] 표현을 못 했어

내 맘이 서툴러서

[원우] 너의 내일이 되고 싶어서 오늘을 살아왔어

[에스쿱스, 원우] 너를 처음 본 날 그때부터 지금까지

[승관] 내 마음속에는 너만 있어

[우지] 뻔하디뻔한 이 말을 내가 이제서야 꺼내 보지만

[승관] 뻔하디뻔한 이 말이 전해는 질까요

Yeah

[도겸] 고맙다

고맙다

또 고맙다 뿐이지만

[정한] 기다림까지

그리움까지

[도겸, 정한] 우리 추억까지

[조슈아] 고맙다

Yeah

[조슈아] 고맙다

[디노] 너무 흔한 말이라 내 마음이 담길까

걱정돼서 하지 못했던 말

[호시, 준] 고맙다는 말보다 예쁜 말을 찾다가

고맙다고 하지 못했던 나

[버논] 표현을 못 했어

용기가 부족해서

[민규] 사랑이란 말을 조금이라도 일찍 알았다면

[민규, 버논] 너를 처음 본 날 그때부터 지금까지

[도겸] 내 마음속에는 너만 있어

[우지] 뻔하디뻔한 이 말을 내가 이제서야 꺼내 보지만

[승관] 뻔하디뻔한 이 말이 전해는 질까요

Yeah

[도겸] 고맙다

고맙다

또 고맙다 뿐이지만

[호시] 기다림까지

사랑이 뭔지

[호시, 도겸] 알려준 너에게

[디에잇] 고맙다

[에스쿱스] 내 마음 변하지 않아

절대 변하지 않아

네가 나를 지운다 해도

[All] 우린 변하지 않아

서로의 마음에

새겨져 있으니까

(새겨져 있으니까)

[도겸] 고맙다

Yeah

[승관] 너에게

너에게

전해졌음 해

이 노래가

[우지] 고맙다

[원우] 고맙다

Key Grammar Structures

• [조슈아] 난 그랬던 것 같아

  ➔ Verb/Adjective + -던 것 같다 (Past recollection + conjecture)

  ➔ This grammar pattern is used to express a speaker's conjecture or impression about a past event or state they recall. It combines the retrospective marker "-던" (recalling a past action/state) with "-것 같다" (it seems/I think). So, "그랬던 것 같아" means "I think it was like that" or "I recall it being that way."

• 네가 어디 있던지

  ➔ Question word + -든지 / -던지 (Indefinite pronoun + conjunction)

  ➔ This pattern is attached to question words (like 누구, 어디, 언제, 무엇) or verbs to mean "no matter who/where/when/what" or "whether A or B." Here, "어디 있던지" means "wherever you were" or "no matter where you were."

• 고민도 없이 뛰어 갔었던

  ➔ Verb + -았/었었던 (Recollection of a past habitual or completed action/state)

  ➔ This ending emphasizes the recollection of an action or state that occurred habitually or continuously in the past, or an action that was completed in the past and is now being specifically recalled. It conveys a stronger sense of past experience or a continued past action than just "-았/었던." "갔었던" means "used to go" or "had gone (and I remember it)."

• 짓궂은 장난이 다였나 봐

  ➔ Noun + -였나 보다 (Conjecture/Supposition about a past state)

  ➔ This pattern is used to express the speaker's conjecture or assumption based on some observation or information. "-였나 봐" is the past tense form for a noun predicate (N + 이다), meaning "it seems it was..." or "I guess it must have been..." So, "다였나 봐" means "it seems it was all (just) mischievous pranks."

• 너의 내일이 되고 싶어서 오늘을 살아왔어

  ➔ Verb + -아/어 오다 (Continuity of action/state from past to present)

  ➔ This grammar pattern indicates that an action or state has been continuing from a point in the past up until the present moment. It implies a duration or accumulation over time. "살아왔어" means "I have been living" or "I have lived (up until now)."

• 뻔하디뻔한 이 말을 내가 이제서야 꺼내 보지만

  ➔ Adjective + -디- (Intensifier) and -아/어서야 (Only after/now)

  ➔ 1. "-디-": An intensifier often used in descriptive adjectives or verbs (e.g., 좋디좋다, 많디많다) to emphasize the quality. "뻔하디뻔한" means "very, very obvious." 2. "-아/어서야": Indicates that something happens or is possible *only after* a certain condition is met or at a specific (often late) point in time. "이제서야" means "only now" or "not until now."

• 사랑이란 말을 조금이라도 일찍 알았다면

  ➔ Verb + -았/었다면 (Past conditional)

  ➔ This pattern is used to express a hypothetical situation in the past that did not actually happen, often implying regret or a different outcome. It means "if (something) had happened." Here, "알았다면" means "if I had known."

• 네가 나를 지운다 해도

  ➔ Verb + -ㄴ/는다 해도 (Even if/Even though)

  ➔ This pattern is used to express a concession or a hypothetical situation where, even if the preceding statement is true or occurs, the following statement will still hold true or occur. It means "even if..." or "even though..." So, "지운다 해도" means "even if you erase me."

• 서로의 마음에 새겨져 있으니까

  ➔ Verb + -아/어 있다 (State of being/Result of an action)

  ➔ This grammar pattern indicates that an action has been completed, and its result or state continues to exist. It describes a static state resulting from a prior action. Here, "새겨져 있다" (from 새기다 - to engrave) means "to be engraved" or "to be carved (and remain so)."

• 전해졌음 해

  ➔ Verb + -았/었음 하다 (Hope/wish for a past or completed action/state)

  ➔ This pattern expresses the speaker's hope or wish that a certain action or state has occurred or will occur (with the completion aspect implied by -았/었-). It conveys a strong desire for something to be realized. "전해졌음 해" means "I hope it has been conveyed" or "I wish it would be conveyed."
