Seoroleul dalm-a giul-eojin salm
Sowon-eul dam-a chaoleuneun dal
Halyeoda man gwalgwa sog-ui mal
Ijeya eum eum eum

Life leaning against each other, resembling one another
The moon filled with wishes, rising up
The words I was going to say, now
Are just hums, hums, hums

Eodido dahji anhneun naui dalg
Neon yeong-wonhi dochakhalsu eobsneun seom gat-a
Hemaedon nal
Ijeya eum eum eum

My anchor that never reaches anywhere
You seem like an unreachable island
The days I wandered
Now, they’re just hums, hums, hums

Giloghaji anh-ado
Naega neol jeonbu gieoghal tenikka

Even if I don’t record it,
I’ll remember everything about you

Gidalyeo
Gieoi uliga mannamyeon,
Sigan-ui tedeuli bakgwikeseo
Gwageoleul balpji anhgo seondamyeon
Sumi chage chum-eul chugess-eo

Wait for me
If we ever meet,
Beyond the borders of time
If we stand without stepping on the past
I’ll dance until I’m out of breath

Najedo balkji anh-eun naui bag
Kkeut-eobsneun bam namgyeojin ban
Neon eotteolkka nawa gat-eulkka
Al su eobs-eum-e apajideon mam

Outside, it’s not bright even during the day
An endless night, a remaining half
I wonder how you are, are you the same as me?
My heart ached because I couldn’t know

Deo meolli jayu geu wilo gaja
Naeil-i ulil chajji mothal
gos-eseo gippeuge manna
Ijeya hannune-e chajji mothaedo dwae
Naega neol al-abol tenikka

Let’s go further up, to the freedom above
Where tomorrow can’t find us
Let’s happily meet in a place
Now, I don’t have to find you at first glance
Because I’ll recognize you

Gidalyeo
Gieoi uliga mannamyeon,
Sigan-ui tedeuli bakgwikeseo
Gwageoleul balpji anhgo seondamyeon
Sumi chage chum-eul chugess-eo

Wait for me
If we ever meet,
Beyond the borders of time
If we stand without stepping on the past
I’ll dance until I’m out of breath

Deudieo
Gidalm-ui iyu-eul mannaleo
Kkumgyeol-edo ijji anh-assdeon
Jamgyeol-edo ij-eul su eobs-eossdeon
Neoui ileum-eul bulleo julge

Finally
To meet the reason for waiting
Even in dreams, I never forgot
Even in sleep, I couldn’t forget
I’ll call your name

Gidalyeo
Ilh-eobeolyeossdeon neol doechadj-eulo
Eongkieossdeon sigan-eul gyeondi-eo
Milaeleul jjoccji anh-eul du ball-o
Sumi chage dallyeogagesseo

Wait for me
To find you, who I lost
Enduring tangled time
With both feet, not chasing the future
I’ll run until I’m out of breath

Gingin seosaleul geochyeo
Biloso cheos jullae jinhyeo
Na dulyeoum ttawin eobs-eo

After a long, long journey
It’s finally written on the first line
I have no more fears

Seoroleul gam-a pogae-eojin salm
Geudeul-eul gaman naelyeoboneun dal
yeojeonhi manh-a hago sip-eun mal
uli jom bwa kkog hana gat-a

Life entwined and wrapped together
The moon looking down at them quietly
Still, there are many things I want to say
We look alike, as if we are one
