[English]

[Our Blues] Lim Young Woong

Don't forget the days we shared together

When tears fall, just turn around and look at me

Don't be hurt, in this lonely heart

There were so many tough times, for you

I'll stay by your side

I'll sing for you

Please don't forget

I promise you this

Someday, when our time passes by

You'll understand

Then you'll smile, I promise you

At that time, you'll even find joy in small things

When loneliness and exhaustion come, I'll hold your hand

When sorrow deepens, I'll be your comfort

I'll be that one person for you

Please don't cry, my dear

Don't be sad

I'll be the light for you

Someday, when our time passes by

You'll understand

Then you'll smile, I promise you

Even if you’re lost alone in the storm, wandering far~

I’ll be your path, I’ll protect you, my love

I’ll sing for you

Please don't forget

I promise you this

Lighting up the dark road

I will be your shining light

[우리들의 블루스] 임영웅

잊지는 말아요 함께 했던 날들

눈물이 날 때면 그대 뒤를 돌아보면 돼요

아프지 말아요 쓸쓸한 마음에

힘든 일이 참 많았죠 그대에겐

내가 곁에 있을게요

그댈 위해 노래할게요

잊지 말아요

그댈 위해 약속할게요

언젠가 우리 시간 지나면

알게 되겠죠

그땐 웃을 수 있죠 나 약속할게요

그땐 미소 짓겠죠 작은 행복까지 모두

외롭고 지칠 때 손잡아 줄게요

슬픔이 짙어질 때면 위로해 줄

그 한사람이 될게요

그대 부디 울지 말아요

슬퍼 말아요

그대에게 빛이 될게요

언젠가 우리 시간 지나면

알게 되겠죠

그땐 웃을 수 있죠 나 약속할게요

폭풍 속에 혼자 남아 헤매도 오~

길이 되어 지킬게요 그대

그댈 위해 노래할게요

잊지 말아요

그댈 위해 약속할게요

어두운 길을 밝게 비추는

그대의 빛이 될게요
