Broken Doll Lyrics Translation (from “Who Do You Love? : I Need You”)

Jaejun pens a story about accepting a painful end. The songwriter mentions words that ‘pierce me like thorns’ to show the pain of holding back. The narrator offers to become a discarded doll just to stay close a little longer.

Amu mal an haejwodo dwaeYou don’t have to say anything to me.
Nal bwajuji anado dwaeYou don’t even have to look at me.
Geunyang ne gyeote isseumyeon nanAs long as I’m by your side,
Geugeollo jokaethat’s enough for me.
Aesseo oemyeonhan siganiThe time we tried so hard to ignore,
Gyeolguk dagaona bwayoseems to have finally arrived.
Moreun cheokaedo mirul suneun eopgetjyoEven if we pretend not to know, we can’t delay it.
Areungeorineun geuttaeui moseubiThe flickering image of how we used to be,
Nal michige haeis driving me crazy.
