Eonjengan i nunmuri meomchugil
Eonjengan i eodumi geothigo
Ttaseuhan haessari i nunmureul mallyeojugil
Jichin nae moseubi

Someday, I hope these tears will stop
Someday, I hope this darkness will fade away
I hope the warm sunlight will dry these tears
My weary appearance

Jogeumssik jigyeowojineun geol neukkimiyeon
Da beorigo sipjyo
Himdeulge jikyeo-odeon kkumeul
Gajin geotbodaneun

When I start feeling bored little by little
I want to let go of everything
Rather than holding onto dreams that
I’ve struggled to protect

Bujokhan geosi neomunado manheun ge
Neukkyeojil ttaemada
Dari-e himi puryeoseo nan jujeoanjyo
Eonjengan i nunmuri meomchugil

Feeling that there are so many things lacking
Every time  I feel it
My legs lose strength, and I hesitate to sit down
Someday, I hope these tears will stop

Eonjengan i eodumi geothigo
Ttaseuhan haessari i nunmureul mallyeojugil
Gwaenchanheul georago
Nae seuseurowi wirohamyeo beotineun

Someday, I hope this darkness will fade away
I hope the warm sunlight will dry these tears
I tell myself it will be okay
As I console myself and endure

Haruharuga nal jogeumssik duryeopge mandeulgo
Nareul mideurago malhamyeonseodo
Mijji motneun naneun
Ije eolmana deo

Every day, it makes me a little more afraid
Even though I tell myself to believe in me
I can’t trust myself
Now, I wonder how much longer

Orae beoril su isseulji moreugesseoyo
Gidarimyeon eonjengan ogetji
Bami gireodo haeneun tteudssi
Apeun nae gaseumdo eonjengan da natgetji

I don’t know how much longer I can endure
If I wait, it will come someday
Just like the night gets long, but the sun rises
Even my painful heart will eventually heal

Nal ijen dowajugil
Haneuri jebal dowajugil
Na honjaseoman igyeonaegiga
Jeomjeom deo jasin-i eobseojyeoyo

I hope someone will help me now
I beg the sky to please help me
Trying to overcome everything on my own
I’m losing more and more confidence

Eonjengan i nunmuri meomchugil
Eonjengan i eodumi geothigo
Ttaseuhan haessari i nunmureul mallyeojugil
Gidarimyeon eonjengan ogetji

Someday, I hope these tears will stop
Someday, I hope this darkness will fade away
I hope the warm sunlight will dry these tears
If I wait, it will come someday

Bami gireodo haeneun tteudssi
I apeun nae gaseumdo eonjengan da natgetji
Eonjengan eonjengan

Just like the night gets long, but the sun rises
Even my painful heart will eventually heal
Someday, someday
