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
남겨진 이곳에 나 홀로 더는 안돼
In this deserted place, being alone is no longer okay
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
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
남겨진 이곳에 나 홀로 더는 안돼
In this deserted place, being alone is no longer okay
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
남겨진 이곳에 나 홀로 더는 안돼
In this deserted place, being alone is no longer okay
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
