A Swing (그네)
나를 두고 사라져 깜빡 잠든 사이에
nareul dugo sarajyeo kkamppak jamdeun saie
나를 멍들게 만든 그네만이 그대로
nareul meongdeulge mandeun geunemani geudaero
아이들은 자라서 멋진 어른이 되고
aideureun jaraseo meotjin eoreuni doego
피리부는 사나이와 나만 그네로 가네
piribuneun sanaiwa naman geunero gane
꿈에 돈을 쓰는 건 정말 멋진 일이야
kkume doneul sseuneun geon jeongmal meotjin iriya
나를 멍들게 만든 그넬 모두 사들고
nareul meongdeulge mandeun geunel modu sadeulgo
마당 구석에 심어 알록달록 칠하면
madang guseoge simeo allokdallok chilhamyeon
몰려드는 아이 뒤 피리부는 사나이
mollyeodeuneun ai dwi piribuneun sanai
네가 왜 날 버렸는지 잊었는지 떠났는지
nega wae nal beoryeonneunji ijeonneunji tteonanneunji
그런 건 이제 중요하지 않아
geureon geon ije jung-yohaji ana
내가 왜 널 아꼈는지 믿었는지 찾았는지
naega wae neol akkyeonneunji mideonneunji chajanneunji
그런 게 이제 중요하지 않아
geureon ge ije jung-yohaji ana
멋도 없는 어른이 주제 넘는 차를 타
meotdo eomneun eoreuni juje neomneun chareul ta
한숨 크게 쉬던데 잠깐 떠난 사이에
hansum keuge swideonde jamkkan tteonan saie
어른들은 늙어서 네 도움이 필요해
eoreundeureun neulgeoseo ne doumi piryohae
앞만 보고 달려가 곧게 자란 아이야
apman bogo dallyeoga gotge jaran aiya
네가 왜 날 버렸는지 잊었는지 떠났는지
nega wae nal beoryeonneunji ijeonneunji tteonanneunji
그런 건 이제 중요하지 않아
geureon geon ije jung-yohaji ana
내가 왜 널 아꼈는지 믿었는지 찾았는지
naega wae neol akkyeonneunji mideonneunji chajanneunji
그런 게 이제 중요하지 않아

내가 왜 너의 얼굴과 내 미랠 대어보는지
naega wae neoui eolgulgwa nae mirael dae-eoboneunji
내가 왜 마당구석에 널 위한 그넬 뒀는지
naega wae madangguseoge neol wihan geunel dwonneunji
내고 왜 꿈과 같았던 물감을 네게 줬는지
naego wae kkumgwa gatatdeon mulgameul nege jwonneunji
어른이 돼 찾아온 너는 알고 있구나
eoreuni dwae chajaon neoneun algo itguna
네가 왜 날 버렸는지 잊었는지 떠났는지

그런 건 이제 중요하지 않아
geureon geon ije jung-yohaji ana
내가 왜 널 아꼈는지 믿었는지 찾았는지
naega wae neol akkyeonneunji mideonneunji chajanneunji
그런 게 이제 중요하지 않아
geureon ge ije jung-yohaji ana
나보다 널 아꼈던 게 믿었던 게 찾았던 게
naboda neol akkyeotdeon ge mideotdeon ge chajatdeon ge
이제는 별로 중요하지 않아
ijeneun byeollo jung-yohaji ana
그래도 널 아꼈던 게 믿었던 게 꿈꿨던 게
geuraedo neol akkyeotdeon ge mideotdeon ge kkumkkwotdeon ge
지금도 가장 나였단 걸 알아
jigeumdo gajang nayeotdan geol ara
A Swing
You disappeared, leaving me behind, while I dozed off
Only that swing that left me bruised remains
Kids grow up to be cool adults
But it’s just me and the piper heading to the swing
Spending money on dreams is such a great thing
I’ll buy up all the swings that left me bruised
Plant them in the corner of the yard, paint them bright
And the kids gather around the piper
Why you left me, forgot me, or just walked away
That doesn’t matter anymore
Why I cared for you, believed in you, or searched for you
That doesn’t matter anymore
An adult with no style drives a flashy car
Sighing heavily, just for a moment away
Adults grow old and need your help
Run straight ahead, you’ve grown up so well
Why you left me, forgot me, or just walked away
That doesn’t matter anymore
Why I cared for you, believed in you, or searched for you
That doesn’t matter anymore
Why I compare your face to my future
Why I left that swing for you in the yard
Why I gave you paint that felt like a dream
You, who came back as an adult, already know
Why you left me, forgot me, or just walked away
That doesn’t matter anymore
Why I cared for you, believed in you, or searched for you
That doesn’t matter anymore
What mattered was caring for you, believing in you, searching for you
But now that doesn’t really matter
Still, caring for you, believing in you, dreaming of you
I know that’s still the truest part of me.
