Nae natgeun gitareul deureo haji motan gobaegieul
Hogeun gojipseure samin iyagineul
Norae hana mandeun cheok jigeum malharyeo haeyo
Geunyang deureoyo, I’ll sing for you
I’ll sing for you, the confession I couldn’t make while holding my old guitar,
Or the stories I stubbornly swallowed down.
Pretending I made a song, I’m trying to say it now,
Just listen, I’ll sing for you.
Neomu saranghajiman saranghanda mal an hae
Eosaekhae jajonsim heorak an hae
Oneureun yonggi naeseo na malhal tejiman
Musimhi deureoyo, I’ll sing for you
I love you so much, but I don’t say “I love you,”
It’s awkward, my pride won’t allow it.
Today, I gather the courage to tell you,
But listen casually, I’ll sing for you.
The way you cry, the way you smile
Naege eolmana keun uimigin geolkka?
Hagopeun mal, nohchyeobeorin mal
Gobaekhal tejiman geunyang deureoyo
I’ll sing for you, sing for you
Geunyang hanbeon deutgo useoyo
The way you cry, the way you smile,
How much meaning do they hold for me?
The words I want to say, the words I missed,
I’ll confess, but just listen.
I’ll sing for you, sing for you,
Just listen and smile.
Jogeum useupjyo, naegen geudaebakke eomneunde
Gakkeumeun namboda moshan na
Sashireun geudae pume meoricareul bubigo
Angigo sip-eun geonde malijyo
It’s a little funny, I have no one but you,
Sometimes, I feel inferior to others.
The truth is, I want to bury my head in your embrace,
But it’s hard to say.
The way you cry, the way you smile
Naege eolmana keun uimigin geolkka?
Dolaseomyeo huhwaehaessdeon mal
Sagwahal tejiman geunyang deureoyo
I’ll sing for you, sing for you
Amureochi anh-eun cheokhaeyo
The way you cry, the way you smile,
How much meaning do they hold for me?
The words I regretted turning away from,
I’ll apologize, but just listen.
I’ll sing for you, sing for you,
Act like everything is fine.
Maeil neomu gamsahae geudaega iss-eoseo
Singyesseo jushin nae seonmul
Oneul-i jinamyeon nan tto eosaekhae haljido
Hajiman oneul-eun kkog malhago sip-eo geuleoni deureoyo
Every day, I’m so thankful for having you,
You’re the gift given to me by the heavens.
After today, I might feel awkward again,
But today, I really want to say it, so please listen.
The way you cry, the way you smile
Naege eolmana keun uimigin geolkka?
Hagopeun mal, nohchyeobeorin mal
Gobaekhal tejiman jom eosaekhajiman
Geunyang deureoyo, I’ll sing for you, sing for you
Geunyang deureoyo, I’ll sing for you
The way you cry, the way you smile,
How much meaning do they hold for me?
The words I want to say, the words I missed,
I’ll confess, even though it might be a little awkward.
Just listen, I’ll sing for you, sing for you.
Just listen, I’ll sing for you.
