있는 그대로의 나 (Just As I Am) Meaning & Lyrics (Sondia)
Jung Geun Sol writes about fading away while trying to be someone else. The poet asks, ‘Since when did I start acting like such a fool?’. He then declares a desire to see his own heart clearly and live freely.
Musimhi deonjyeojin geu mareul butjapgoI’m clinging to those words carelessly thrown my way,
Nan jeomjeom deo jagajyeogaand I’m feeling smaller and smaller.
Jinagan siganeul jiuryeo aesseudaAs I struggle to erase the time that’s gone by,
Nan oneuldo sarajyeogaI’m fading away again today.
Eonjebuteo in geonji babocheoreomSince when did I start acting like such a fool,
Naega anin nuguro saraon geolkka?living as someone else instead of being me?
Banjjagimyeo taeeonan geunalcheoreomLike the day I was born with a bright sparkle,
Soljikan nae maeumeul sumgigo sipji anaI don’t want to hide my honest feelings anymore.
Naneun nae maeumi bogo sipeoI want to see my own heart clearly.
Naneun ije geuman nae saleul salgo sipeoI’m done with this; I want to live my own life now.
Geuraedo dwae geurеol su isseoIt’s okay to do that, I know I can,
Jigeum idaero innеun geudaero jayuropgebeing free just as I am, exactly like this.
Eodil bogo inneunji babocheoreomWhere was I looking, like such a fool?
Chorahage neukkyeojyeo apatdeon geolkka?Was I in pain because I felt so insignificant?
Hajiman nan yeojeonhi banjjagineunBut I’m still sparkling inside,
Jigeumui nae moseubeul gamchugo sipji anaand I don’t want to hide the way I am right now.
Naneun nae maeumi bogo sipeoI want to see my own heart clearly.
Naneun ije geuman nae saleul salgo sipeoI’m done with this; I want to live my own life now.
Geuraedo dwae geureol su isseoIt’s okay to do that, I know I can.
Duryeopji ana yeonseubi pillyohaesseul ppuniyaI’m not afraid; I just needed a bit of practice.
Sipeo mitgo sipeo sojunghan nalI want to believe in myself, who’s so precious,
Sipeo jeo kkeutkkaji nae mameul mitgo sipeoand I want to trust my heart until the very end.
Gieokalge itji aneulgeI’ll remember this, and I won’t ever forget,
Jigeum idaero inneun geudaero onjeonhan nareulthat I’m whole and complete, just as I am right now.
