Geolteoanja neol dasi geulyeoboneun il
Hanahanacha chaewoboneun il
Mama saegyeojin eodinga seulpeun geu nunbit
Geu nuneul gochil suga eopseo nan
Sitting down, I try to redraw you
Filling in every detail
Somewhere, in my heart, a sad gaze is etched
I can’t fix those eyes
Namulip-e tteoleojineun bisbang-uld
Nae mam-eul muneojige hal geosman gat-a
Even raindrops falling on leaves
Feel like they’ll shatter my heart
Neoleul geulineun modeun sigandeul-e da
Moaseo geuliwoemilago hanabwa
Neo eobs-i gin bam-eul beotil jasin-i eobs-eo nan
Chama mos jiwo namgyeodun geolkka neo hanaman
All the time spent drawing you
Seems to accumulate into longing
I don’t have the confidence to endure a long night without you
Can’t erase you, just left behind, only you
Nae haluga jogeum mojal-an deushae
Neol wanbyeoghage geulyenaegi-en
Huimihan gieogdo salajilkka deoschilhae
Jageun geoskkaji jeonbu neonikka
My day feels a bit lacking
To draw you perfectly
I’ll even add faint memories so they won’t disappear
Because everything, even the small things, is you
Keotuncheoleom budeuleoun balamgyeoldo
Nae an-e gipeun heum-eul nael geosman gat-a
Even the soft breeze like a curtain
Feels like it’ll leave a deep mark in me
Neoleul geulineun modeun sigandeul-e da
Moaseo geuliwoemilago hanabwa
Neo eobs-i gin bam-eul beotil jasin-i eobs-eo nan
Chama mos jiwo namgyeodun geolkka neo hanaman
All the time spent drawing you
Seems to accumulate into longing
I don’t have the confidence to endure a long night without you
Can’t erase you, just left behind, only youv
Ojig neo hanaman
Only you
Neol geuligo neoleul saegyeoneun bam
Igeol da geuliwoemilago hanabwa
Yeojeonhi amulji anhneun gieog-eul neomgida
Chama mos jiwo namgin han salam neol geulida
Drawing you and engraving you in the night
I guess all of this is longing
Passing by memories that still haven’t healed
I can’t erase them, the one person left behind, drawing you
