Mianhae neol japji motaeseo
Budi naboda haengbokhaeya hae
Saranghae deulliji anhneun mal
Honjaseo sueopsi malhago isseo

I’m sorry for not being able to hold onto you
Please be happier than me
I love you, even though you can’t hear these words
I say them countless times, all alone

Bogo sipseo bogo sipseo
Neol wihaeseoramyeon na ireomyeon an dwae

I miss you, I miss you
If it’s for you, I can’t be like this

I promise you
I promise you
Eonjengan naega meonjeo neoreul chajeulge
Nae salmi kkeutnabeoryeodo
Na dasi taeeona motda han i sarangeul julge

I promise you
I promise you
Someday, I will find you first
Even if my life comes to an end
I will give you this love that I couldn’t fully express

I promise you
I promise you
Eonjengan neoreul hyanghae dallyeogal geoya
Niga isseo naega sum shwil su itkiae
I yaksok ijji mara jwo

I promise you
I promise you
Someday, I will run towards you
Because you exist, I can breathe
Please don’t forget this promise

Gomawo neol alge doeeoseo
Nae goun ne son gajge hae jwoseo
Gaji ma ipsure dameun mal
Sseurin hansume naebaekgo isseo

Thank you for letting me know you
For allowing me to hold your beautiful hand
Don’t go, the words held in my lips
I spit them out with a bitter sigh

An go sipseo gatgo sipseo
Neol kkumeseorado mannal su itdamyeon

I want to hug you, I want to have you
If I can meet you even in my dreams

I promise you
I promise you
Eonjengan naega meonjeo neoreul chajeulge
Nae salmi kkeutnabeoryeodo
Na dasi taeeona motda han i sarangeul julge

I promise you
I promise you
Someday, I will find you first
Even if my life comes to an end
I will give you this love that I couldn’t fully express

Niga isseo naega sum shwil su itkiae
I yaksok ijji mara jwo

I promise you
I promise you
Someday, I will run towards you
Because you exist, I can breathe
Please don’t forget this promise

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
My love I promise you

Hoksi nae modureul jiwohta haedo
Nareul moreunchukhaedo o-o na a-a

Even if I erase everything about me
Even if I pretend not to know myself, oh oh, ah ah

I’ll be with you
Always with you
Neowa na gateun haneul arae issjanha
Geu iyu hanamanuro na saragal teni
Ijeneun nae geokjeonghaji ma

I’ll be with you
Always with you
We’re under the same sky, you and I
Just for that reason, I will live
Now, don’t worry about me

I promise you
I promise you
Chueogi gipge bakhin apeun gaseumeul
Honjarado naega manjil su itdorok
Tto dareun sarang an halge

I promise you
I promise you
Deeply engraved memories in a painful heart
Even if I’m alone, I’ll be able to touch them
I won’t love anyone else
