Cham eoryeobge noassdeon neoinde
Wae maeumeun neol dasi umkyeojyeo

You were the one I let go so painfully
But why does my heart tighten around you again?

Sumi chage meolli domangchyeodo i maeumeun
Gyeolguk jejarin-de

Even if I run far until my breath is gone, this heart
In the end, it remains in the same place

Naega aneun han saram naega aneun han saram
Neol tteo-olligo jiweobogo tto banbokhaebwado

The person I know, the person I know
I try to remember you, erase you, and repeat it again

Nega anin saram-eun nega anin dareun sarangeun
Nal chaewojugi moshae geuge neoraneun saram
Neoye-man haessdeon nareul gieokhaejwo

Somebody other than you, a love other than you
They can’t fill me up, because that person is you
Please remember the me who was only for you

Nae sumgyeodun maeumeun aninde
Wae ipsuleun ibyeoreul malhago

My hidden heart isn’t like that
Why do my lips speak of parting?

Nae maeumeul sogyeo neol bonaebojiman
Nan jong-il ulgo tto ureo

I deceive my heart and try to let you go
But I cry all day long, and cry again

Naega aneun han saram naega aneun han saram
Neol tteo-olligo jiweobogo tto banbokhaebwado

The person I know, the person I know
I try to remember you, erase you, and repeat it again

Nega anin saram-eul nega anin dareun sarangeul
Nal chaewojugi moshae geuge neoraneun saram
Neoye-man haessdeon nareul gieokhaejwo

Somebody other than you, a love other than you
They can’t fill me up, because that person is you
Please remember the me who was only for you

Nunmuri meomchun dwieodo byeonhaji anha
Neoreul hyanghan gadeukan geu mam ajik sarangiraseo

Even after the tears have stopped, it hasn’t changed
Because that heart, filled with love for you, still remains

Ojik neoran saram-eul ojik neoman saranghae
Neol tteo-olligo jiweobogo banbokhaneun naneun

Only you, I only love you
I remember you, erase you, and keep repeating

Nega anin saram-eul nega anin dareun sarangeul
Nal chaewojugi moshae geuge neoraneun saram
Neoye-man haessdeon nareul gieokhaejwo

Somebody other than you, a love other than you
They can’t fill me up, because that person is you
Please remember the me who was only for you
