  1. 네모난 침대에서 일어나 눈을 떠보면

    I wake up in a square bed and open my eyes,

  2. 네모난 창문으로 보이는 똑같은 풍경

    The same view through the square window appears,

  3. 네모난 문을 열고 네모난 테이블에 앉아

    I open the square door and sit at a square table,

  4. 네모난 스마트폰 본 뒤

    After glancing at my square smartphone,

  5. 네모난 책가방에 네모난 책들을 넣고

    I pack square books into my square backpack,

  6. 네모난 버스를 타고 네모난 건물지나

    I take a square bus passing by square buildings,

  7. 네모난 학교에 들어서면 또 네모난 교실

    Entering the square school, there's another square classroom,

  8. 네모난 칠판과 책상들

    Square blackboards and desks around me,

  1. 네모난 오디오 네모난 컴퓨터 TV

    Square audio, square computer, square TV,

  2. 네모난 달력에 그려진 똑같은 하루를

    The same day depicted on a square calendar.

  3. 의식도 못한 채로

    Unaware of consciousness,

  4. 그냥 숨만 쉬고 있는 걸

    I'm just breathing, that's all.

  5. 주윌 둘러보면

    Looking around me,

  6. 모두 네모난 것들뿐인데

    Everything's just square shapes.

  7. 우린 언제나 듣지 잘난 어른의 멋진

    We always listen to the wise adults' splendid

  8. 이 말 세상은 둥글게 살아야 해

    Words that say the world should live in roundness.

  9. 지구본을 보면

    When I look at the globe,

  10. 우리 사는 지군 둥근데

    Our living place is round,

  11. 부속품들은 왜 다 온통 네모난 건지

    But why are all the accessories so completely square?

  12. 몰라, 어쩌면 그건 네모의 꿈일지 몰라

    I don't know, maybe that's the dream of the square.

  13. 네모난 아버지의 지갑엔 네모난 지폐

    In the square wallet of my father, there are square bills

  14. 네모난 팜플렛에 그려진 네모난 학원

    In a square pamphlet, a square academy is drawn

  15. 네모난 마루에 걸려 있는 네모난 액자와

    Hanging on the square floor, a square frame and

  16. 네모난 명함의 이름들

    Names on a square business card

  17. 네모난 스피커 위에 놓인 네모난 테잎

    On top of a square speaker, a square tape is placed

  18. 네모난 책장에 꽂혀있는 네모난 사전

    In a square bookshelf, a square dictionary is stuck

  19. 네모난 서랍 속에 쌓여있는 네모난 편지

    Piled in a square drawer, square letters are stacked

  20. 이젠 네모 같은 추억들

    Now, memories like squares

  21. 네모난 태극기 하늘 높이 펄럭이고

    The square Taegukgi flutters high in the sky

  22. 네모난 잡지에 그려진 이달의 운수는

    This month's fortune drawn in a square magazine

  23. 희망 없는 나에게

    To me, who has lost hope

  24. 그나마의 기쁨인가 봐

    It seems to be the only joy I have left

  25. 주윌 둘러보면

    When I look around

  26. 모두 네모난 것들뿐인데

    Everything is just square things

  27. 우린 언제나 듣지 잘난 어른의 멋진

    We always listen to the wise words of adults

  28. 이 말 세상은 둥글게 살아야 해

    They say the world should be lived round

  29. 지구본을 보면

    When I see the globe

  30. 우리 사는 지군 둥근데

    The land we live on is round

  31. 부속품들은 왜 다 온통 네모난 건지

    But why are all the accessories so completely square?

  32. 몰라, 어쩌면 그건 네모의 꿈일지 몰라

    I don’t know, maybe that’s just the dream of the squares.
