저기 지나가는 사람들 속 난 여전히 혼자
Among the passersby, I still stand alone
애써 괜찮은 척 지나쳐온 아파왔던 하루
Pretending to be okay, I’ve passed through this painful day
그대 어디로 가고 있나요
Where are you heading, my dear?
아님 이끌려 왔나요
Or have you been drawn here?
왠지 외로워 보이네요
For some reason, you look lonely
그래도 Smile again
Still, Smile again
다시 Stand up again
Stand up again
움츠러든 어깬
Hunched shoulders
너와 어울리지 않아
Just don't quite match with you
밤하늘의 별 보다 더 빛나는 오늘을 살았잖아
I've lived a day brighter than the stars in the night sky
주저 말고 고갤 들고
Lift your head without hesitation
다시 일어나
Stand up once more
Smile again
Smile again
바삐 흘러가는 시간 속에 우린 길을 잃어
In the swiftly flowing river of time, we've lost our way
애써 당당한 척 지나쳐온 외로웠던 내 하루
Pretending to be strong, I passed through my lonely days
저 끝 너머엔 뭐가 있나요
What lies beyond that end?
옳은 길이 맞을까요
Is the right path truly the right one?
그 끝에 우린 행복할까요
Will we find happiness at the end?
그래도 Smile again
Still, smile again
다시 Stand up again
Stand up again
움츠러든 어깬
Hunched shoulders,
너와 어울리지 않아
They don't match with you.
밤하늘의 별 보다 더 빛나는 오늘을 살았잖아
I've lived a day that's brighter than the stars in the night sky.
주저 말고 고갤 들고
Don't hesitate, lift your head,
다시 일어나
Get back up again.
Smile again
Smile again,
수없이 넘어질 때도 눈물 차오르는 날들도
Even on days when tears well up from countless falls,
버텨온 너야 누구보다 강한 너니까
It's you who has endured, you're stronger than anyone.
Smile again
Smile again,
다시 Stand up again
Stand up again.
힘을 내 한 걸음 더 내딛는 거야
Get up, it's time to take one more step
모른 척 넘겨온
Pretending not to know
굳은살 가득 배인 나의 웃음
My smile filled with calluses
걱정 없이 걱정 없이
Without a worry, without a worry
웃어봐도 괜찮아
It's okay to smile, try it out
