잘돼야 하는데
It should work out well,
잘 돼야만 그게
Only if it works out, that's what
행복인 줄 알았어, uh
I thought happiness was, uh.
행복인 줄 알았어, uh
I thought happiness was, uh.
그래 행복이란 건 아마 뜬구름 같은 것
Yeah, happiness is probably like clouds drifting by,
실낱같은 희망을 주면서 나를 유혹하는 덫
Tempting me with a thin thread of hope, it’s a trap.
행복은 저 하늘의 별 내 손에 닿지 않는 곳
Happiness is a star in the sky, out of my reach.
그 어딘가에 머물며 무너지는 날 보고만 있어
Somewhere up there, watching my collapse helplessly.
지겨워 괜찮은 척 힘내라는 말도 썩
I'm tired of pretending to be okay, their words are just tiresome.
듣기 좋지는 않아 그들의 말은 가시가 달린 장미꽃, uh
Their words are like roses with thorns, uh.
이 세상이란 벽이 너무 높아
This wall of the world is just too high.
숨이 가빠 미친 듯 달려왔지만 난 딱 중간쯤에 서 있어, uh
I’ve run like crazy, out of breath, yet I'm standing right in the middle, uh.
저 하늘을 봐, 여전히 푸르잖아
Look at the sky, it's still so blue.
그게 원망스러울 때도 있겠지만 한때뿐이잖아
There are times I resent that, but it's only temporary.
모르잖아, 사람 일은 아무도 모르잖아
You never know, no one knows how life works.
난 살아있고 미래를 꿈꾸잖아
I'm alive and dreaming of the future.
무뎌질 줄 알았던 그 아픔도
That pain I thought would dull,
끝내 지우지 못해
I can't erase it in the end.
어쩌면 손 뻗으면 닿을 거라 믿었는데 이젠
I once believed I could reach it if I reached out, but now,
멀리 와버린 듯해
It feels like I've come far away.
I wanna be happier
I wanna be happier.
그때 기억을 꺼내요
Let's bring up those memories.
그래 행복이란 건 저 길의 끝에 있는 점
Yeah, happiness is just a dot at the end of the road.
다가가면 갈수록 멀어져 만질 수가 없는 것
The closer I get, the further away it seems, something I can't touch.
행복은 비행기에서 내려다본 세상 같은 것
Happiness is like the world seen from a plane.
내 전부는 세상의 일부이고 난 그 일부의 일부라는 것
My everything is part of the world, and I'm just a part of that part.
신이시여 내 마음의 병을 제발 고쳐 주십쇼
Oh God, please heal the wounds in my heart.
말하자, 다 알았으니 네 마음을 여기 꺼내 보거라
Speak out, since I already know, show me your heart here.
내 얼굴은 내 얼의 꼴에 핀 욕심이라는 꽃
My face is a flower named greed, blooming in my spirit.
입에는 욕, 눈에는 독, 채울 수 없는 밑이 빠진 독, uh
With curses on my lips, poison in my eyes, an empty well that can't be filled, uh.
저 바다를 봐, 끝이 안 보이잖아
Look at that sea, you can't see the end.
끝을 보려고 발버둥 쳐봤자 결국 제 자리잖아
Trying to see the end only leads me back to my place.
모르잖아 사람 일은 아무도 모르잖아
You never know, no one knows how life works.
난 살아있고 미래를 꿈꾸잖아
I'm alive and dreaming of the future.
무뎌질 줄 알았던 그 아픔도
That pain I thought would dull,
끝내 지우지 못해
I can't erase it in the end.
어쩌면 손 뻗으면 닿을 거라 믿었는데 이젠
I once believed I could reach it if I reached out, but now,
멀리 와버린 듯해
It feels like I've come far away.
I wanna be happier
I wanna be happier.
그때 기억을 꺼내요
Let's bring up those memories.
아름답고 싶어서, 사람답고 싶어서
I wanted to be beautiful, I wanted to be human.
누군가의 사랑이고 싶었어, 자랑이고 싶었어
I wanted to be someone's love, I wanted to be proud.
아름답고 싶어서, 사람답고 싶어서
I wanted to be beautiful, I wanted to be human.
누군가의 사랑이고 싶었어, 자랑이고 싶었어
I wanted to be someone's love, I wanted to be proud.
무뎌질 줄 알았던 그 아픔도 (무뎌질 줄 알았었는데)
That pain I thought would dull, (I thought it would dull.)
끝내 지우지 못해
I can't erase it in the end.
어쩌면 손 뻗으면 닿을 거라 믿었는데 이젠
I once believed I could reach it if I reached out, but now,
멀리 와버린 듯해 (멀리 와버렸는데)
It feels like I've come far away. (I've come far away.)
I wanna be happier (happier)
I wanna be happier. (happier.)
그때 기억을 꺼내요 (그 소중했던 기억들)
Let's bring up those memories. (Those precious memories.)
