  1. Yeah

    Yeah

  2. The most lonely creature in the world

    The most lonely creature in the world

  3. Yeah (I'm a whale)

    Yeah (I'm a whale)

  4. Do you wanna know my story? (Yeah)

    Do you wanna know my story? (Yeah)

  5. I never told this to anybody

    I never told this to anybody

  6. Yeah, come on (ooh)

    Yeah, come on (ooh)

  7. 이 넓은 바다 그 한가운데

    In this vast ocean, right in the center

  8. 한 마리 고래가 나즈막히 외롭게 말을 해

    A single whale softly speaks, lonely and low

  1. 아무리 소리쳐도 닿지 않는 게

    No matter how much I shout, it never reaches

  2. 사무치게 외로워 조용히 입 다무네

    Profoundly lonely, I quietly seal my lips

  3. 아무렴 어때 뭐가 됐던 이젠 뭐, I don't care

    Well, what does it matter? Whatever it is, I don't care now.

  4. 외로움이란 녀석만 내 곁에서 머물 때

    When loneliness lingers by my side,

  5. 온전히 혼자가 돼 외로이 채우는 자물쇠

    I fully become alone, filling the lock with solitude.

  6. 누군 말해 새끼 연예인 다 됐네

    Someone says I've become a little celebrity.

  7. Oh, fuck that, 그래, 뭐 어때 누군가 곁에

    Oh, fuck that, yeah, so what if someone is near?

  8. 머물 수 없다 한대도 그걸로 족해

    Even if it can't stay, that's enough for me.

  9. 날 향해 쉽게 얘기하는 이 말은 곧 벽이 돼

    The words spoken so easily towards me soon become a wall.

  10. 외로움조차 니들 눈엔 척이 돼

    Even loneliness turns into a pretense in your eyes.

  11. 그 벽에 갇혀서

    Trapped behind that wall,

  12. 내 숨이 막혀도

    Even if my breath is suffocated,

  13. 저 수면 위를 향해

    Towards that surface of the water

  14. Hey, oh, oh, hey, oh, yeah

    Hey, oh, oh, hey, oh, yeah

  15. Lonely, lonely, lonely whale

    Lonely, lonely, lonely whale

  16. 이렇게 혼자 노래 불러

    I sing alone like this.

  17. 외딴 섬 같은 나도

    Like a desolate island, I too

  18. 밝게 빛날 수 있을까?

    Can I shine brightly?

  19. Lonely, lonely, lonely whale

    Lonely, lonely, lonely whale

  20. 이렇게 또 한 번 불러봐

    Once again, call out like this.

  21. 대답 없는 이 노래가

    This song, without an answer,

  22. 내일에 닿을 때까지

    Until I reach tomorrow

  23. No more, no more, baby

    No more, no more, baby

  24. No more, no more

    No more, no more

  25. 끝없는 무전 하나 언젠가 닿을 거야

    One endless transmission will someday reach its destination

  26. 저기 지구 반대편까지 다

    All the way to the other side of the Earth

  27. No more, no more, baby

    No more, no more, baby

  28. No more, no more

    No more, no more

  29. 눈먼 고래들조차 날 볼 수 있을 거야

    Even the blind whales will be able to see me

  30. 오늘도 다시 노래하지 나

    Today, I sing once more

  31. 세상은 절대로 몰라 내가 얼마나 슬픈지를

    The world will never know how sad I truly am

  32. 내 아픔은 섞일 수 없는 물과 기름

    My pain is like water and oil, never to mix

  33. 그저 난 수면 위에서만

    I just float above the surface

  34. 숨을 쉴 때 관심 끝 외로운 바닷속 꼬마

    Breathing is the only interest, a lonely little one in the sea

  35. 나도 알리고 싶네 내 가치를 every day

    I want to share my worth every day

  36. 걱정의 멀미를 해, 늘 스티커는 귀 밑에

    Worry spins like motion sickness, always a sticker beneath my ear

  37. Never end, 왜 끝은 없고 매번 hell

    Never end, why is there no end, every time is hell

  38. 시간이 가도 차가운 심연 속의 neverland

    Even as time passes, it's still a cold abyss of neverland

  39. But 늘 생각해

    But I always think about it

  40. 지금 새우잠 자더라도 꿈은 고래답게

    Even if I'm napping now, my dreams are as grand as a whale

  41. 다가올 큰 칭찬이 매일 춤을 추게 할거야

    The great praises to come will make me dance every day

  42. 나답게, yeah, I'm swimmin'

    Being myself, yeah, I'm swimmin'

  43. 내 미래를 향해 가

    I'm moving toward my future

  44. 저 푸른 바다와

    To that blue sea

  45. 내 헤르츠를 믿어

    I believe in my Hertz

  46. Hey, oh, oh, hey, oh, yeah

    Hey, oh, oh, hey, oh, yeah

  47. Lonely, lonely, lonely whale

    Lonely, lonely, lonely whale

  48. 이렇게 혼자 노래 불러

    Singing alone like this

  49. 외딴 섬 같은 나도

    Even I, like a deserted island

  50. 밝게 빛날 수 있을까?

    Can I shine brightly?

  51. Lonely, lonely, lonely whale

    Lonely, lonely, lonely whale

  52. 이렇게 또 한 번 불러봐

    I'll try singing once more like this

  53. 대답 없는 이 노래가

    This song without an answer

  54. 내일에 닿을 때까지

    Until it reaches tomorrow

  55. 어머니는 바다가 푸르다 하셨어

    Mother said the sea is blue

  56. 멀리 힘껏 네 목소릴 내라 하셨어

    She urged me to shout your name far away

  57. 그런데 어떡하죠? 여긴 너무 깜깜하고

    But what can I do? It's so dark here

  58. 온통 다른 말을 하는 다른 고래들 뿐인데

    All I hear are other whales speaking in different tongues

  59. I just can't hold it ma, 사랑한다 말하고 싶어

    I just can't hold it, ma, I want to say I love you

  60. 혼자 하는 돌림 노래, 같은 악보 위를 되짚어

    A solo round of a song, tracing back on the same score

  61. 이 바다는 너무 깊어, 그래도 난 다행인 걸

    This sea is so deep, but still I'm grateful

  62. (눈물 나도 아무도 모를 테니) I'm a whalien

    (Even if I cry, no one will know) I'm a whalien

  63. Lonely, lonely, lonely whale

    Lonely, lonely, lonely whale

  64. 이렇게 혼자 노래 불러

    Singing a song all alone like this

  65. 외딴 섬 같은 나도

    Even I, who am like a lonely island

  66. 밝게 빛날 수 있을까?

    Can I shine brightly?

  67. Lonely, lonely, lonely whale

    Lonely, lonely, lonely whale

  68. 이렇게 또 한 번 불러봐

    I try to sing it once more like this

  69. 대답 없는 이 노래가

    This song with no reply

  70. 내일에 닿을 때까지

    Until it reaches tomorrow

  71. No more, no more, baby

    No more, no more, baby

  72. No more, no more

    No more, no more

  73. 끝없는 무전 하나 언젠가 닿을 거야

    An endless transmission will one day reach its destination

  74. 저기 지구 반대편까지 다

    All the way to the other side of the Earth

  75. No more, no more, baby

    No more, no more, baby

  76. No more, no more

    No more, no more

  77. 눈먼 고래들조차 난 볼 수 있을 거야

    Even blind whales, I will be able to see them

  78. 오늘도 다시 노래하지

    Today again, I'll sing once more
