Nado hanttaeneun geuiui soneul japgo
Naega on sesang juingongi doen deut
Kkotsongiui kkochip hanahanakkaji
Modu nal wihae pieonatji

I too had once held that person’s hand
And felt like I had become the most important character in the entire world
Each and every petal of flower blossoms
Had all bloomed for me

Ollimpikdaero ttukseom yuwonji
Seochon golmokgolmok yeppeun sikdang
Nareul hwicheonggeorige mandeun
Juokgateun daesadeul

Olympic Boulevard, Ttukseom Amusement Park
Pretty restaurants in the alleys of Seochon
Leaving me stumbling,
Those amazing memorable lines

Dasi nugunga saranghal su isseulkka
Yeppeudaneun mal deureul su isseulkka
Haru dan haruman gihoega ondamyeon
Jugeulhimeul dahae binnari

Will I be able to love someone again?
Will I be able to hear myself being called beautiful?
For one day, just one day, if the chance arrives
I will give my everything to shine brightly

Eonjebuteonga geupgyeokage
Danjoro bakkwideon baegyeongeumak
Jomyeongi kkeojin seteujange
Honja namgyeojin naneun

How long ago was it when all of a sudden
The background music changed to minor
On the set with the lights off
I am left all alone

Danyeogeul mateun geunyang pyeongbeomhan yeoja
Kkotdo haneuldo hangangdo geojinmal
Naui deuramaneun tto ireoke kkeunna

Just an ordinary woman playing a minor role
The flowers, the sky and Han River are all lies too
My drama too ends like this

Nawanneunjijocha moreuge

Without me even knowing when it came out

Kkeunnanneunjijocha moreuge
