Ki keun jeonbotdae jomyeong arae
Na honja jibe doraganeun gil
Gagi sirta sseulsseulhan daesa han madi
Jeomjeom neuryeojineun balgeoreum
Dongne myeot bakwireul bingbing dolda gyeolguk
Dochakhan daemun ape seoseo yeolsoereul manjijak manjijak
Amu sorido eomneun bang geu ane nan oetori
Eodinga buranhae tv sorireul kiwobwado
Jeo saramdeureun wae utgo inneun geoya
Aju kkamkkamhan bina naeryeosseum jokenne jokenne
Teong bin noriteo benchie nugunga danyeogan ongi
Wae ttatteutami nal deo chupge mandeuneun geoya
Ungkeurin eokkaee eolgureul mutdaga
Jumeoni soge gamchun du soni sirine
Eojeboda chan barami bureo ibureul kkeureodanggyeodo
Deo pagodeun barami guseokguseok chupge mandeureo
Jeonwoni kkeojin geot gateun gicheokdo eomneun chang bakkeul
Barabomyeo uimi eomneun sumeul swigo
Han gyeoulboda chagaun nae bang son kkeutkkaji sirin gonggi
Bomi oji anheumyeon geuge charari naeulkka
Nae bang godeureumdo nogeulkka haetbyeot deuneun joheun nal omyeoneun
English translation:
Under the tall street light
I’m on my way back home alone
Saying the lonely words, I don’t want to go…
My footsteps get slower
I go around the neighborhood a few times and in the end
I stand in front of my house and fish for my keys
I’m a loner in my noise-less room
But why are those people laughing?
I hope a dark rain falls
I feel someone’s body heat on the empty playground bench
Why is this warmth making me feel even colder?
I bury my face in my scrunched up shoulders
My hands that I hid in my pockets get cold
The wind is colder than yesterday so I snuggle deeper into my blankets
But the wind digs in and makes me cold in every nook and cranny
Outside the window, there are no signs of life, as if the lights have all turned off
As I look out, I let out a meaningless breath
My room is colder than the middle of winter, the air is cold even to the tips of my fingers
If spring never comes, would that be better?
Will the icicles in my room melt when a sunny, good day comes?
