The lyricist maintains honesty about the emotional challenges while committing to personal development through experience.
자 이제는 기나긴 모험을 시작할 시간Alright, now’s the time to begin a long adventure.
준비했던 짐을 메고 현관문을 열 시간It’s time to shoulder the bags I’ve packed and open the front door.
정이 들었던 집을 등지고서Leaving behind the home I’ve grown to love,
익숙한 이 동네를 벗어나서and escaping this familiar neighborhood.
내 발 앞에 그려진 출발선The starting line is drawn right before my feet,
이제 딛고 나아갈 그때가 된 거야and now’s the time to step forward and begin.
앞으로 총 몇 번의 몇 번의 희망과I wonder how many times I’ll find hope,
그리고 또 몇 번의 몇 번의 절망과and how many times I’ll face despair.
차가운 웃음 혹은 기쁨의 눈물을Cold laughter or tears of joy,
맛보게 될지는 모르겠지만I don’t know which I’m bound to taste,
아무쪼록 행운을 빌어 줘but whatever happens, please wish me luck.
내 앞길에 행복을 빌어 줘Please wish for my happiness on the road ahead.
계절이 흘러 되돌아오면When the seasons have passed and I come back,
더 나은 내가 되어 있을 테니I promise I’ll have become a better person.
기대해 줘So please, look forward to it.
나갈까 말까 수도 없이 망설였지만I hesitated countless times, wondering if I should go,
1도 도움 안 되는 고민 따윈 이제 그만but I’m done with all this useless worrying.
사랑하는 내 모든 사람들의With the hopes and cheers of everyone I love,
기대와 응원을 등에 업고서carried right here on my back.
내 발 앞에 그려진 출발선The starting line is drawn right before my feet,
이제 딛고 나아갈 그때가 온 거야and now the time has come to step forward and begin.
앞으로 총 몇 번의 몇 번의 희망과I wonder how many times I’ll find hope,
그리고 또 몇 번의 몇 번의 절망과and how many times I’ll face despair.
차가운 웃음 혹은 기쁨의 눈물을Cold laughter or tears of joy,
맛보게 될지는 모르겠지만I don’t know which I’m bound to taste,
아무쪼록 행운을 빌어 줘but whatever happens, please wish me luck.
내 앞길에 행복을 빌어 줘Please wish for my happiness on the road ahead.
계절이 흘러 되돌아오면When the seasons have passed and I come back,
더 나은 내가 되어 있을 테니I promise I’ll have become a better person.
기대해Look forward to it.
회색 겨울 분홍빛 봄Gray winter, pink-hued spring,
파란 여름 노란 가을blue summer, and golden autumn.
사계절이 돌고 돌면When the four seasons have come and gone,
웃으며 네 앞에 서 있을게I’ll be standing before you with a smile.
앞으로 총 몇 번의 몇 번의 희망과I wonder how many times I’ll find hope,
그리고 또 몇 번의 몇 번의 절망과and how many times I’ll face despair.
차가운 웃음 혹은 기쁨의 눈물을Cold laughter or tears of joy,
맛보게 될지는 모르겠지만I don’t know which I’m bound to taste,
아무쪼록 행운을 빌어 줘but whatever happens, please wish me luck.
내 앞길에 행복을 빌어 줘Please wish for my happiness on the road ahead.
계절이 흘러 되돌아오면When the seasons have passed and I come back,
더 나은 내가 되어 있을 테니I promise I’ll have become a better person.
