Gidariji anhgiro haessjanha
Ulji anheul georago geuraessjanha
Neomu neujeun bamiya
Oh neomu gin ibyeoriya

I said I wouldn’t wait
I said I wouldn’t cry
It’s too late at night
Oh, it’s a very long farewell

Jamsiman deo ireohge isseulkka
Geurae ijhyeojyeo beoril kkumijiman
Nuneul gama majimak
Jameul jaewo julge

Should we stay like this for a little longer?
Yes, it’s a dream that will be forgotten
Close your eyes, the last
I’ll put you to sleep

My lullaby
Baby, sweet good night
Museoun kkumeun eopseul geoya
Neoui kkeutnaji anhneun gingin harureul
Ijeneun geuman bonaejulyeom eum

My lullaby
Baby, sweet good night
There won’t be any scary dreams
For your never-ending, long days
Now, let them go, um

Gamanhi kkeureoango isseulkka
Eoneu sai kkeutna ganeun kkumijiman
Ma-eum nora majimak norael bulleo julge

Should we quietly hold each other?
Even though it’s a dream that is ending somewhere
Relax your heart, I’ll sing you the last song

My lullaby
Baby, sweet good night
Museoun kkumeun eopseul geoya
Neoui kkeutnaji anhneun gingin seulpeumeul
Ijeneun geuman bonae julyeom

My lullaby
Baby, sweet good night
There won’t be any scary dreams
For your never-ending, long sorrow
Now, let them go, um

Jamdeulji mothaeman
Jichin sumsoriga jajadeul ttaekkaji
Soranhan neoui bameul jikilge

Can’t fall asleep
Until the sound of your tired breaths calm down
I’ll protect your restless night

I’ll be nearby
Baby, sweet goodnight
Hangsang ne gyeote isseul geoya
Deo mannal su eopneun jinannaldeuldo
Ijeneun geuman nohajulyeom
My edelweiss
Baby, sweet goodbye
Modu ijeodo dwae
Da gwaenchanha gwaenchanha noha –

I’ll be nearby
Baby, sweet goodnight
I’ll always be by your side
Even the past days we can’t meet anymore
Now, let them go, um
My edelweiss
Baby, sweet goodbye
You can forget everything
Everything’s okay, okay, let go
