  1. 그러나 시간이 지나도

    Yet even as time passes,

  2. 아물지 않는 일들이 있지

    there are things that never heal.

  3. 내가 온전히 사랑하지 못해서

    It's because I couldn't love myself completely,

  4. 맘이 가난한 밤이야

    this is a night with a heart that's poor.

  5. 거울 속에 마주친 얼굴이 어색해서

    The face I see in the mirror feels so awkward,

  6. 습관처럼 조용히 눈을 감아

    I quietly close my eyes like a habit.

  7. 밤이 되면 서둘러 내일로 가고 싶어

    When night falls, I long to rush into tomorrow.

  8. 수많은 소원 아래 매일 다른 꿈을 꾸던

    Under countless wishes, I dream different dreams each day.

  9. 아이는 그렇게 오랜 시간

    For such a long time,

  10. 겨우 내가 되려고 아팠던 걸까

    did I suffer just to finally become myself?

  11. 쌓이는 하루만큼 멀어져

    Further away with each passing day.

  12. 우리는 화해할 없을 같아

    I don't think we can reconcile.

  13. 나아지지 않을 같아

    I feel like things won't get better.

  14. 어린 맘엔 영원히

    In my youthful days, forever in my heart.

  15. 가물지 않는 바다가 있었지

    There was an ocean that never dried up.

  16. 이제는 흔적만이 남아 희미한 그곳엔

    Now only traces remain in that faint place.

  17. 설렘으로 차오르던 나의 숨소리와

    My breath, filled with anticipation,

  18. 머리 위로 선선히 부는 바람

    A cool breeze blows gently above my head.

  19. 파도가 되어 어디로든 달려가고 싶어

    I want to become a wave and run anywhere.

  20. 작은 두려움 아래 천천히 눈을 뜨면

    When I slowly open my eyes beneath the small fear,

  21. 세상은 그렇게 모든 순간

    The world, in every moment,

  22. 내게로 눈부신 선물이 되고

    comes to me, a dazzling gift.

  23. 숱하게 의심하던 나는 그제야

    I, who doubted so many times,

  24. 나에게 대답할 있을 같아

    now feel I can answer myself.

  25. 너머에 기억이

    Beyond the line, memories,

  26. 나를 부르고 있어

    are calling out to me.

  27. 아주 오랜 시간 동안

    For such a long time,

  28. 잊고 있던 목소리에

    to the voice I had forgotten,

  29. 물결을 거슬러 돌아가

    I swim against the waves, returning

  30. 안의 바다가 태어난 곳으로

    to where the sea within me was born.

  31. 휩쓸려 길을 잃어도 자유로와

    Even if I'm swept away and lose my way, I am free.

  32. 더이상 가두는 어둠에 감지 않아

    No longer will I close my eyes to the darkness that confines me.

  33. 다시 모른 하지 않아

    I won't pretend not to know myself again.

  34. 그럼에도 여전히 가끔은

    Yet still, there are moments when,

  35. 삶에게 지는 날들도 있겠지

    I might lose to life some days.

  36. 또다시 헤매일지라도 돌아오는 길을 알아

    But even if I wander once more, I know the way back.
