Janjanhan ullimi-eotji
Neul eoduwootdeon
Nae sesange bichi naeryeotji
Neon geugeol alkka
Ttaeroneun silbaram gati
Mundeuk tteoolla
Miso jisneun yet chueok gati
Neon naege wasseo

It was a gentle resonance
In my always dark world
Light shone upon me
Do you know that?
Sometimes like a gentle breeze
Suddenly comes to mind
Like a smiling old memory
You came to me

Day and night
Urin geu georimankkeum
Meon gireul dora mannajin geol
Kkok ango sipeo
Ne jichin haruga shwil su inneun
Kkok nayeosseumyeon hae

Day and night
We met after traveling a long road
Just as far as that distance
I want to hold you tightly
I hope I was the one
Who could give you rest
On your tired days

Gakkeumeun uulhaejyeotji
Malhal su eopseo
Nae mam sogen biga naeryeotji
Neon arasseulkka
Neol ilhneun kkumeul hemaeda
Kkaemyeon gipeun hansum geu dwiro
Gaseum aryeowa

Sometimes I felt melancholy
I couldn’t express it in words
Rain fell in my heart
Did you know?
I wandered in a dream of losing you
When I wake up, a deep sigh follows
My heart aches

Aljae jigeumyeon geu georimankkeum
Meon neoreul bomyeo apahago
Sumaneun bamgwa
Deo maneun nat dongan
Saranghan nareul

Day and night
Just as much as that distance
I suffer while looking at you from afar
Countless nights and
Even more days
I loved myself

Aljae jukireul
Malhae jukireul
Haega tteugi baro jeon saebyeogi
Gajang eoduun georago

To be understood
To be told
The moment right before the sun rises
Is the darkest time

Oh, day and night
Geu georimankkeum
Meon gireul dora mannajin geol
Kkok ango sipeo
Ne jichin haruga
Shwil su inneun got

Oh, day and night
Just as much as that distance
We met after traveling a long road
I want to hold you tightly
A place where your tired day
Can find rest
