나는 아직 어리고
I'm still young
한낱 작은아이
Just a little child
어느 한 곳 디딜 수
In a place where I can't stand
없는 난 아마 난
I guess I'm lost, I guess I am
버텨봐도 또 나는 더 깊이 헤매어 혼자 서서
Even if I endure, I wander deeper, standing alone
갈수록 내게 또 다른 겁들이 자리해 어서 빨리
More fears take their place as time goes on, hurry up
Save me, save me
Save me, save me
남겨진 이곳에 나 홀로 더는 안돼
In this deserted place, being alone is no longer okay
Save me, save me
Save me, save me
메마른 가신 널 찌르지 않을 테니
I won't hurt your dried-out soul
내가 먼저 너를 찾아간다면 다시 날 어루만져 줘
If I find you first, caress me once more
I'll be fine
I'll be fine
I'll be fine
I'll be fine
그때 내게 주었던
The warmth you gave me back then
온기 가득한 말
Those words filled with comfort
촉촉이 감싸던 그날의 한마디도
Even the one word that wrapped me so tenderly that day
없는 넌 아마 넌
You're probably not here, probably not
I will find you 날 잊은 채로 지나가는 너를 이젠
I will find you, you who passes by forgetting me now
움켜쥐고 선 다시 날 바라보게 해야 해 어서 빨리
I must grasp you tight, and make you look at me again, hurry up
Save me, save me
Save me, save me
남겨진 이곳에 나 홀로 더는 안돼
In this deserted place, being alone is no longer okay
Save me, save me
Save me, save me
메마른 가신 널 찌르지 않을 테니
I won't hurt your dried-out soul
매일이 두려웠어 대체 어디로 가는지
Every day was filled with fear, where am I even going?
낡고 부스러지는 몸이 보이니 이제는 나
Do you see my worn and crumbling body? Now I see it
일어서야 할 수밖에는 없어
I have no choice but to get up
Save me, save me
Save me, save me
남겨진 이곳에 나 홀로 더는 안돼
In this deserted place, being alone is no longer okay
Save me, save me
Save me, save me
메마른 가신 널 찌르지 않을 테니
I won't hurt your dried-out soul
네가 먼저 나를 찾아낸다면 다시 날 안아줄 거야
If you find me first, you will embrace me again
I'll be fine
I'll be fine
