Gakkeum neoui sosigeul deul-eumyeon pisis
Hago geunyang useoneomgyeo
Eolma jeongkkajiman haedo uisig
Haessneunde byeol uimi eobsdeolago meoliman apa
Sometimes when I hear news about you, I smirk
And just brush it off with a smile
Until not long ago, I was conscious of you
But it turns out it doesn’t mean much, only my head hurts
Ibyeol byeolg-eo eobsdeolago
Mog nol-a ulgo nani hu-lyeonhaejyeoss-eo
Milyeon byeolg-eo eobsdeolago
Sigani yag-ilan mal ihaega dwaess-eo
Farewells, they don’t mean much
After crying my heart out, I feel relieved
Lingering feelings, they don’t mean much
I now understand the saying that time is a medicine
Gyeondilmanhae gyeondilmanhan oeloum-iya
Beotilmanhae beotilmanhan geulioum-iya
I can endure, endure the loneliness that I can bear
I can withstand, withstand the longing that I can bear
Saeng-gagboda aaapeujido
Aaanggo geunyang gaga-gagkkamssig jom
Bogo sipjiman gyeondilmanhae
Honestly, it doesn’t hurt as much as I thought
Ah, it’s okay, just once in a while
I miss you, but I can endure
Cham usgiji geu sijeole ulin
Sesang-eul da gajin geoscheoleom
Johahaejdeon gieog samuchiji
Jigeum-eun da bujil-eobsneun tteunguleumieoss-eo
It’s funny how back then, we
Felt like we had the whole world
The memories I loved, now they’re all meaningless clouds
Ibyeol byeolg-eo eobsdeolago
Mog nol-a ulgo nani hu-lyeonhaejyeoss-eo
Milyeon byeolg-eo eobsdeolago
Sigani yag-ilan mal ihaega dwaess-eo
Farewells, they don’t mean much
After crying my heart out, I feel relieved
Lingering feelings, they don’t mean much
I now understand the saying that time is a medicine
Gyeondilmanhae gyeondilmanhan oeloum-iya
Beotilmanhae beotilmanhan geulioum-iya
I can endure, endure the loneliness that I can bear
I can withstand, withstand the longing that I can bear
Saeng-gagboda aaapeujido
Aaanggo geunyang gaga-gagkkamssig jom
Bogo sipjiman gyeondilmanhae
Honestly, it doesn’t hurt as much as I thought
Ah, it’s okay, just once in a while

Sasil mal-iya naega apahandago

The truth is, I can’t say I’m hurting
Because you won’t come back
I realize now that I can endure more than I thought
It seems like I didn’t love enough to die
Gyeondilmanhae gyeondilmanhan oeloum-iya
Beotilmanhae beotilmanhan geulioum-iya
I can endure, endure the loneliness that I can bear
I can withstand, withstand the longing that I can bear
