[English]

The day your scent brushed past me

The day I reached your voice

To me, more clearly than anything else

It begins to take shape

Because I know true beauty

And because I know what is genuine

Mm, mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm

Mm, mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm

They say I've actually known

For a very long time

But to someone like me, who knew nothing

Calling me a fool

I found that

So lovely, and yet

Because of that

I call you by that name anew

Oh, ah

...

[Korean]

네 향기가 스쳐 가던 날은

너의 목소리와 닿았던 날은

내겐 그 무엇보다도 선명히

형태를 그려내게 되는 건

가장 아름다움을 알기에

또 가장하지 않음을 알기에

Mm, mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm

Mm, mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm

사실 아주 오래전부터

알고 있었다 했는데

무엇도 알지 못한 내게

바보라 불러보고

그게 참

좋아서, 또

그만큼

새롭게 불러 본다

Oh, ah
