Lyrics

#

가난한 마음 끝에 지쳐갈 때면 (Gananhan maeum kkeute jichyeogal ttaemyeon)
When my poor heart is exhausted at the end

아담한 어깨를 빌려줘 (Adamhan eokkaereul billyeojwo)
Lend me your modest shoulders

고단한 하루 끝에 쓰러질 때면 (Godanhan haru kkeute sseoreojil ttaemyeon)
When I collapse at the end of a tiring day

소리없이 잠시만 안아줘 (Sorieopsi jamsiman anajwo)
Hug me silently for a moment

사는게 온통 내 뜻대로 되지 않아 (Saneunge ontong nae tteutdaero doji anha)
Life doesn’t go entirely as I wish

다 포기하게 될까 두려워 (Da pogihage doelkka duryeowo)
I’m afraid I might give up everything

내일은 조금 나을거라 믿어봐도 (Naeireun jogeum naeulgeora mideo bwado)
Even if I believe tomorrow will be a little better

뻔한 하루가 될까 두려워 (Ppeonhan haruga doelkka duryeowo)
I’m afraid it might just be an ordinary day

긴 절망 그 끝에 다 무너질 때 (Gin jeolmang geu kkeute da muneojil ttae)
When long despair crumbles in the end

언제든 잠시 쉴 수 있는 그늘처럼 (Eonjedeun jamsi swil su issneun geuneulcheoreom)
Like a shade where I can rest anytime

무거운 삶에 초조해진 표정까지 (Mugeoun salmae chojohaejin pyojeongkkaji)
Even the anxious expression in this heavy life

숨길 수 있는 그늘처럼 (Sumgil su issneun geuneulcheoreom)
Like a shade where I can hide

참다 참다 또 울먹여도 (Chamda chamda tto ulmeogyeodo)
Even if I endure and cry again

그 눈물까지 가려주는 그늘처럼 (Geu nunmulkkaji garyeojuneun geuneulcheoreom)
Like a shade that covers even those tears

이 세상 앞에 당당히 더 큰 날개를 펼쳐 (I sesang apae dangdanghi deo keun nalgaeleul pyeolchyeo)
Confidently spread bigger wings in front of this world

견디고 참고 버텨봐도 끝이 안 나 (Gyeondigo chamgo beotyeobwado kkeuchi an na)
Even if I endure, persevere, and withstand, it never ends

또 포기할까 두려워져 (Tto pogihalkka duryeowojyeo)
I become afraid of giving up again

오늘만 가면 괜찮다고 믿어봐도 (Oneulman gamyeon gwaenchanhdago mideo bwado)
Even if I believe it will be fine if I just get through today

뻔한 내일이 또 기다릴까봐 (Ppeonhan naeiri tto gidarilkka bwa)
I’m afraid I’ll wait for another ordinary tomorrow

긴 절망 그 끝에 다 무너질 때 (Gin jeolmang geu kkeute da muneojil ttae)
When long despair crumbles in the end

언제든 잠시 쉴 수 있는 그늘처럼 (Eonjedeun jamsi swil su issneun geuneulcheoreom)
Like a shade where I can rest anytime

무거운 삶에 초조해진 표정까지 (Mugeoun salmae chojohaejin pyojeongkkaji)
Even the anxious expression in this heavy life

숨길 수 있는 그늘처럼 (Sumgil su issneun geuneulcheoreom)
Like a shade where I can hide

참다 참다 또 울먹여도 (Chamda chamda tto ulmeogyeodo)
Even if I endure and cry again

그 눈물까지 가려주는 그늘처럼 (Geu nunmulkkaji garyeojuneun geuneulcheoreom)
Like a shade that covers even those tears

이 세상 앞에 당당히 더 큰 날개 펼친채로 (I sesang apae dangdanghi deo keun nalgae pyeolchinchaero)
Confidently spreading bigger wings in front of this world

힘든 시간 속에서 나를 잃지 않고 (Himdeun sigan sogeseo nareul ilji anhgo)
Without losing myself in difficult times

끝도 없이 다시 훨훨 날아 (Kkeutdo eopsi dasi hulhul nala)
I’ll fly endlessly once again

길을 잃어 헤매이다 지쳐갈 때도 (Gireul ileo hemaeda jichyeogal ttaedo)
Even when I’m lost and exhausted, wandering the path

큰 그늘 펼친 날개 아래 숨을 쉬어 (Keun geuneul pyeolchin nalgae arae sumeul swieo)
I’ll breathe under the shade of those big wings

찢기고 다친 마음까지 여미게 해 (Jjitgigo dachin maeumkkaji yeomige hae)
Even my torn and wounded heart will find solace

넓고 포근한 품에 작은 위로가 돼 줘 (Neolbgo poggeunhan pume jageun wiroga dwae jwo)
Becoming a small comfort in the wide and warm embrace
