[English]

No, I don’t want to admit it

Everyone says spring has come, except for me

I’m getting dizzy, everything’s turning pink all of a sudden

Is this just a trick of the seasons?

Even in the warm weather, my hands are always cold

Even if I try to hold onto that spring breeze, winter is still inside

Can you understand? This is what I’ve been trying to say

Take me to spring!

Everyone says spring is here, but I don’t feel it

Don’t make me repeat the same words

If I throw a single flower on the path you’ve walked

Will you follow that path and find me?

I’m as invisible as the fog that blooms in spring

Could it be that I haven’t reached you at all?

My heart is restless, I’m worried I’ve lost

The way to come to me

Everyone says spring is here, but I don’t feel it

Don’t make me repeat the same words

If I throw a single flower on the path you’ve walked

Will you follow that path and find me?

You’ve always been a warm spring day

You made flowers bloom even in my frozen season

I won’t be fooled by this joy anymore

I’ll show you my heart now

How is the warmth in your heart this spring?

Please understand the hidden meaning in these words

If you don’t come to me, it’s all meaningless

Will you follow that path and find me?

Will you be the spring that remains for me? Whoo

...

[Korean]

아냐, 인정하고 싶지 않아

나만 빼고 모두가 봄이 왔다 하는 걸

어느샌가 핑크빛으로 물들어 난 어지러워

계절의 장난질일까

따뜻한 계절에도 나는 항상 손이 차가워

저 봄바람을 꼭 잡아도 그 안엔 겨울이 있어

이해하겠니? 내가 하고 싶었던 말은 말야

나를 봄으로 데려가!

다들 봄이 왔다 하는데 난 모르겠어

똑같은 말 반복하게 하지는 마

꽃 한 송이 지나온 자리에다 던져두면

그 길을 따라서 날 찾아와줄래?

봄에 피어난 안개처럼 잘 보이지 않아

사실은 너에게 단 하나도 닿지 못한 건 아닐까

맘이 불안해, 내게로 찾아오는 길을 그새

잃어버린 건 아닐지

다들 봄이 왔다 하는데 난 모르겠어

똑같은 말 반복하게 하지는 마

꽃 한 송이 지나온 자리에다 던져두면

그 길을 따라서 날 찾아와줄래?

넌 늘 따스한 봄날이었어

얼어붙은 내 계절에도 꽃이 피게 했지

더 이상 이 반가움에 속지 않을 거야

네게 내 마음을 보여줄래 이제

꽃 피는 계절 네 맘속 온기는 어때

이 말 안에 숨은 뜻을 알아봐 줘

네가 내게 와주지 않으면 다 의미 없어

그 길을 따라서 날 찾아와줄래?

내게 남은 봄이 되어줄래? Whoo
