Korean:

유쾌한 걸음 새까만 콧수염
어딜 바삐 가나, 또 뭔 일이
시계토끼처럼 늘 급한 얼굴로
나를 지나쳐 가요
난 그댈 알아 그댄 날 몰라
늘 같은 시간 우린 같은 길을 걷는데
시간 좀 내요 얘기 좀 해요

한 마디 없이 꼭 다문 입술
나 그 목소리를 꼭 들을래요
다음에 보면 꼭 인사해요
또 봐요 미스터 채플린

바람에 날린 동그란 저 모자
달리기를 하나, 왜 서둘러
시계톱니처럼 똑같은 모퉁일
돌아돌아 뛰네요

어디서 와서 어디로 갈까
말고도 궁금한 게 이렇게 난 많은데
잠시만 서서 얘기 좀 해요

한 마디 없이 꼭 다문 입술
나 그 목소리를 꼭 들을래요
다음에 보면 꼭 인사해요
또 봐요 미스터 채플린

어두운 얼굴 무슨 일이 있나요
말 건네면 대답할까요
나는 알아요 슬픈 그댈
온 세상 사람들 그대를 보면서
웃어도

못 살게 구는 사람들 없는
먼 길을 떠났다고 난 믿을래요
이젠 웃어요 다 괜찮아요
또 봐요 미스터 채플린

그대가 부른 즐거운 넌센스
나 슬픈 날엔 꼭 그 노랠 해요
언젠가 보면 꼭 인사해요
또 봐요 미스터 채플린
꼭 봐요 미스터 채플린
그 이름도 내겐 사랑스런 채플린

English translation:

A pleasant walk, a black mustache
Where are you busily headed, what are you up to?
Like the White Rabbit, you always have a rushed face
As you pass me by
I know you but you don’t know me
We always walk the same path at the same time
Make some time, talk to me

Your lips are shut tight without a word
I really want to hear your voice
When you see me next time, say hello
I’ll see you again, Mr. Chaplin

Your round hat that flies in the wind
Are you in a race? Why the rush?
Like the gears in a clock
You run around the same corners, around and around

Where are you coming from, where are you going?
Besides that, I have so many things I’m curious about
Stop for a moment and talk to me

Your lips are shut tight without a word
I really want to hear your voice
When you see me next time, say hello
I’ll see you again, Mr. Chaplin

Your face looks dark, did something happen?
Will you answer if I say something?
I know that you are sad
Even if the whole world looks at you
And smiles

I want to believe that you left
For a faraway place where no one bothers you
You can smile now, everything is okay
I’ll see you again, Mr. Chaplin

The merry nonsense that you sang of
I will sing that song on days I am sad
If we see each other some day, say hello
I’ll see you again, Mr. Chaplin
I’ll definitely see you again, Mr. Chaplin
Even that name is lovable to me, Chaplin
