Gwana describes things you cannot hold or count, like the courage to help someone who has fallen. The songwriter mentions that what we truly have gets bigger the more you share it. He builds a list of simple joys, from seasonal winds to shared laughter.
Uriga gajin geonWhat we truly have,
Gajil su eopgo sel sudo eomneun geotis something you can’t hold and can’t even count.
Uriga gajin geonWhat we truly have,
Ppaeseul su eopgo sal sudo eomneun geotis something you can’t steal and can’t even buy.
Gyejeol ttara bakkwin baram soge sumeun hyanggiThe fragrance hidden in the changing seasonal wind,
Iyu eopsi haengbokage sal su inneun maeiland the everyday moments when we can be happy without a reason.
Da neomchidorok ssayeo isseoAll of this is piled up to overflowing.
Neomeojin nugungaege son naemineun yonggiThe courage to reach out your hand to someone who has fallen,
Songwa soneul matjabeumyeon neukkyeojineun ongiand the warmth we feel when we hold each other’s hands.
Da sseul su inneun urin bujaWe are truly rich because we can spend all of this.
Uriga gajin geonWhat we truly have,
Nuguna itgo amuna eomneun geotis something everyone has, yet not just anyone possesses.
Uriga gajin geonWhat we truly have,
Byeonhaji anko hangsang saeroun geotis something that never changes, yet is always new.
Sesange dan hanappunin i sunganui soriThe sound of this unique moment in the world,
Gaseum ttwigo sumeul swineun uri momui sinbiand the mystery of our breathing bodies and beating hearts.
Da neomchidorok ssayeo isseoAll of this is piled up to overflowing.
Jaemieomneun nongdamedo useojuneun jaechiThe wit to laugh even at unfunny jokes,
Jaemi ireun saramege useum juneun jaemiand the joy of bringing a smile to someone who has lost theirs.
Da sseul su inneun urin bujaWe are truly rich because we can spend all of this.
