모두 잠드는 밤에
On a night when everyone falls asleep,
혼자 우두커니 앉아
Sitting alone, lost in thought.
다 지나버린 오늘을
The today that has all passed by.
보내지 못하고서 깨어있어
Awake, unable to send you away.
누굴 기다리나
Who am I waiting for?
아직 할 일이 남아 있었던가?
Was there still work left to do?
그것도 아니면 돌아가고 싶은
If not that, I want to go back.
그리운 자리를 떠올리나
Do you remember the place you long for?
무릎을 베고 누우면, 나 아주 어릴 적
When I lie down resting my head on my knees, it's just like when I was very young.
그랬던 것처럼 머리칼을 넘겨줘요
Just like before, brush your hair aside for me.
그 좋은 손길에 까무룩 잠이 들어도
Even if I fall into a deep sleep at that gentle touch.
잠시만 그대로 두어요
Just leave it as it is for a moment.
깨우지 말아요, 아주 깊은 잠을 잘 거예요
Don't wake me, I'll be in a very deep sleep.
조용하던 두 눈을
The once quiet two eyes
다시 나에게 내리면
If you fall on me again
나 그때처럼 말갛게
Like I was back then, so clear and bright.
웃어 보일 수 있을까?
Can I manage to smile?
나 지친 것 같아
I feel exhausted.
이 정도면 오래 버틴 것 같아
I feel like I've held on for quite a while.
그대 있는 곳에 돌아갈 수 있는
I can return to the place where you are.
지름길이 있다면 좋겠어
I wish there was a shortcut
무릎을 베고 누우면, 나 아주 어릴 적
When I lay my head on my knees, back to when I was so young
그랬던 것처럼 머리칼을 넘겨줘요
Just like before, caress my hair
그 좋은 손길에 까무룩 잠이 들어도
Even if I drift off in that gentle touch
잠시만 그대로 두어요
Just leave me like this for a moment
깨우지 말아요, 아주 깊은 잠을 잘 거예요
Don't wake me, I will sleep a very deep sleep
스르르르륵
Sluurr
스르르 깊은 잠을 잘 거예요
I will sleep deeply
스르르르륵
Sluurr
스르르 깊은 잠을-
I will sleep deeply-
