• This is a companion post to this list of vocabulary found in the song.

내 낡은 기타를 들어
I pick up my old guitar

하지 못한 고백을 혹은 고집스레 삼킨 얘기를
The confession I couldn’t make, or the story I stubbornly swallowed down

노래 하나 만든 척
I pretend that I made a song

지금 말하려 해요
I’m going to say it now

그냥 들어요
Just listen

I’ll sing for you

너무 사랑하지만 사랑한다 말 안 해
I love you so much, but I can’t tell you the words “I love you”

어색해 자존심 허락 안 해
It’s awkward, my pride doesn’t allow me to

오늘은 용기 내서 나 말할 테지만
Today, I mustered my courage, so I’m going to tell you

무심히 들어요
But you just listen indifferently

I’ll sing for you / The way you cry, the way you smile

내겐 얼마나 큰 의미인 걸까?
How much do they mean to me?

하고픈 말 놓쳐 버린 말
The words I wanted to say, the words I missed the chance to say

고백할 테지만 그냥 들어요
I’m going to confess them, but just listen

I’ll sing for you, sing for you

그냥 한번 듣고 웃어요
Just listen once, and smile

조금 우습죠 
It’s a bit funny

내겐 그대밖에 없는데
Although to me, there’s no one else but you

가끔은 남보다 못한 나
Sometimes, I’m no better than a stranger

사실은 그대 품에 머리칼을 부비고 안기고 싶은 건데 말이죠
But the truth is that I want you to hold me and stroke my hair

The way you cry, the way you smile

내겐 얼마나 큰 의미인 걸까?
How much do they mean to me?

돌아서며 후회했던 말
The words I regretted while looking back

사과할 테지만 그냥 들어요
I’ll apologize, but just listen

I’ll sing for you, sing for you

아무렇지 않은 척해요
I pretend that it’s nothing

매일 너무 감사해 그대가 있어서
Every day, I’m so thankful that you’re here

신께서 주신 내 선물
My gift from God

오늘이 지나면 난 또 어색해할지도
Even if I’m awkward again after today

하지만 오늘은 꼭 말하고 싶어
I definitely want to say it today

그러니 들어요
So listen

The way you cry, the way you smile

내겐 얼마나 큰 의미인 걸까?
How much do they mean to me?

하고픈 말 놓쳐 버린 말
The words I wanted to say, the words I missed the chance to say

고백할 테지만 좀 어색하지만
I’m going to confess, I may be a bit awkward, but

그냥 들어요
Just listen

I’ll sing for you, sing for you

그냥 들어요
Just listen

I’ll sing for you

익숙하겠지
I’ll get used to it, right?

또다시 감기처럼 툭 걸린
The feeling of catching a cold again

밀려드는 잿빛에 수없이 지나쳐도
Even if the surge of gray passes by me countless times

여전히 참아내야 해
I still have to tough it out

지나갈 테니 지나갈 테니
It will pass, it will pass

잠깐이면 돼
I just have to wait a bit

지나갈 테니 지나갈 테니
It will pass, it will pass

지나갈 테니 이미
It passed already

회색빛 하늘 위엔
Above the gray skies

분명히 더 밝은 빛이
It’s clear that there’s a brighter light

먹구름 걷힌 뒤엔
After the dark clouds clear up

눈부시게 빛날 테니
It will shine brightly

You shine like the stars, you light up my heart

오늘의 시련 끝엔
At the end of today’s hardships

찬란하게 나를 비춰
It’ll shine on me brilliantly

Dadada dadada dum / Dadada dadada dum

정신 차리고 다시 일어나
I’ll fix myself up and get up again

툴툴 털고
I’ll dust myself off

더 이상 나에겐 고통은 스쳐가는 소나기
To me, all this pain is just a passing shower

모두 참아내야 해
I have to bear it all

지나갈 테니 지나갈 테니
It will pass, it will pass

잠깐이면 돼
I just have to wait a bit

지나갈 테니 지나갈 테니
It will pass, it will pass

지나갈 테니 이미
It passed already

회색빛 하늘 위엔
Above the gray skies

분명히 더 밝은 빛이
It’s clear that there’s a brighter light

먹구름 걷힌 뒤엔
After the dark clouds clear up

눈부시게 빛날 테니
It will shine brightly

You shine like the stars, you light up my heart

오늘의 시련 끝엔
At the end of today’s hardships

찬란하게 나를 비춰
It will shine on me brilliantly

이게 끝은 아니겠지
This isn’t the end, is it?

더 짙은 날도 있겠지
There’ll be days that are even worse, won’t there?

그날의 끝에도 너는 이렇게 비춰주겠지
But at the end of those days, you’ll shine even brighter, right?

눈부신 빛을 가린 먹구름 뒤 해
The dazzling light of the sun is hidden behind dark clouds

변함없이 넌 나를 비추네 영원해
But you’ll shine on me forever, unchanging

고요한 공기 따뜻한 바람도 함께
With calm air and a warm breeze

거기 그대로 있어
Just staying there as you are

항상 같은 자리에
Always at the same place

Yeah

회색빛 하늘 위엔
Above the gray skies

분명히 더 밝은 빛이
It’s clear that there’s a brighter light

먹구름 걷힌 뒤엔
After the dark clouds clear up

눈부시게 빛날 테니
It will shine brightly

You shine like the stars, you light up my heart

오늘의 시련 끝엔
At the end of today’s hardships

찬란하게 나를 비춰
It will shine on me brilliantly

찬란하게 나를 비춰
It will shine on me brilliantly

• This is a companion post to this list of vocabulary and grammar found in the song.

마음과 반대로 아픈 말이 나와 너를 힘들게 했던
Saying painful words I didn’t mean in order to hurt you

나도 내가 힘든 걸
It was hard for me as well

다짐과 다르게
It was different from what was promised

나아진 게 없어
Nothing got better

늘 실망하게 했던 나도 후회하는 걸
I regret always disappointing you as well

잊을 수 없을 것 같아
I think I won’t be able to forget you

바람이 차가워지면 입김을 불어서 숨결을 만지던 밤
The nights when the wind grew cold and our breaths touched

행복한 웃음소리로
With happy laughter

포근히 끌어안으며
While embracing warmly

별빛처럼 빛날 내일을 꿈꾸던 밤
The nights we dreamed of a tomorrow that shined like starlight

I’ll search the universe

널 다시 찾을 때까지
Until I find you again

놓지 않을 거야
I won’t let go

티끌 같은 기억도
Even these memories that are like dust

계절에 새겨진 우리의 추억은
The memories of us, carved into the season

다시 몇 번이고 돌아와
Will keep coming back, time after time

널 부를 테니까
Calling out to you

웃음과 눈물이 상처와 치유가 질문과 해답들이
The laughter and the tears, the pain and the cure, the question and the answer

니 안에 다 있는 걸
All of it is within you

나의 세상을 가진 나의 작은 우주가
My small universe that contained my world

소멸하는 순간
The moment it ceased to exist

나도 사라지겠지
I disappeared, too

I’ll search the universe

널 다시 찾을 때까지
Until I find you again

놓지 않을 거야
I won’t let go

티끌 같은 기억도
Even these memories that are like dust

계절에 새겨진 우리의 추억은
The memories of us, carved into the season

다시 몇 번이고 돌아와
Will keep coming back, time after time

널 부를 테니까
Calling out to you

기억은 언제나 눈물을 데려와
Memories always bring back tears

다 씻어낸 자리에
Of all the things I cleared out

Whoo, baby

너 하나만 남겨 둬
Only you are left behind

단 하루에 단 한번에 끊어낼 수 있는 마음이 아니란 걸
It’s not like I can get rid of my feelings in a single day, in a single try

아프도록 느끼잖아
Won’t that hurt more?

그 어디라고 해도 너에게 가는 나
No matter where you are, I’ll go to you

I’ll search the universe

널 다시 찾을 때까지
Until I find you again

놓지 않을 거야
I won’t let go

티끌 같은 기억도
Even these memories that are like dust

(Oh)

계절에 새겨진 우리의 추억은
The memories of us, carved into the season

다시 (oh, yeah) 기어이 돌아와
Will come back again in the end

널 찾을 테니까
Finding you

그게 사랑이니까
Because that’s what love is

사랑이니까
Because that’s what love is

• This is a companion post to this list of vocabulary found in the song.
• The romanization is not based only on the literal translation of the hangul characters; it is based on how the characters actually sound when put together. For example, while many sites romanize “않기를” as “anhgireul,” the word should actually be pronounced as “ankireul,” so I’ve romanized it this way to make it easier to understand.

여린 빛들이 번져 가 긴 어둠을 다 몰아낸 순간
The moment the soft lights spread out and chase away the long darkness

(bi-chi beon-jyeo ga mo-ra-naen sun-gan)
(빛이 번져 가 몰아낸 순간)
(The moment the light spreads and chases it away)

새로워진 아침에

• This is a companion post to this list of vocabulary found in the song.
• The romanization is not based only on the literal translation of the hangul characters; it is based on how the characters actually sound when put together. For example, while many sites romanize “빠져” as “bbajyeo,” the word should actually be pronounced as “ppajyeo,” so I’ve romanized it this way to make it easier to understand.
