Nae Yawin Son Wiro On Chodaejang WienUpon this invitation resting in my thin hand.
Neol Deryeogandaneun Geuwa Ne IreumI see his name and yours, saying he’s taking you away.
Oraenjeon Heeojideon NalThat day we parted so long ago,
Jakku Nae Nunape SeuchyeoIt keeps flickering before my eyes.
Honjaseodo Nan SeogeulpeundeI’m already sorrowful enough on my own.
Suhwagi Neomeoro Jeojeun Ne MoksoriYour tear-soaked voice comes through the phone.
Geuttaen Wae Nal Bonae JwonnyagoYou ask why I let you go back then.
Cheombuteo Neol SaranghaetdamyeonIf I truly loved you from the start,
Majimakkkaji Butjabaya HaetdagoYou say I should’ve held onto you until the end.
Geu Maneun Sayeondeul Da Beoryeodun ChaeroCasting aside all those stories we shared,
Nal Tteonan NeoyeotjanaYou’re the one who walked away from me.
Jigeum Geureul SaranghandamyeonseoEven while claiming you love him now.
Wae Ije Waseo Tto Babocheoreom HeundeullyeoWhy are you wavering like a fool only now?
Nugul Wihae DorabwaWho is that backward glance for?
Apeun Gaseum Chueogeuro DallaemyeoWhile I comforted my aching heart with memories,
