Love, Older You

Love, older you

Dear younger me
Dear younger me
Dear younger me
Will you turn into a tiny speck of dust and disappear?
조그마한 먼지가 돼 사라질까
jogeumahan meonjiga dwae sarajilkka
Like a puzzle left alone
혼자 남은 puzzle처럼
honja nameun puzzlecheoreom
Does it feel like there's no place for you?
네 자린 없는 것 같니?
ne jarin eomneun geot ganni?
That girl in the mirror
거울 속 그 애가
geoul sok geu aega
I hate her more than anyone
누구보다도 미워
nugubodado miwo
The tears I've swallowed
삼켜온 눈물은
samkyeoon nunmureun
Have filled my heart like an ocean
맘에 바다를 이뤄
mame badareul irwo

So small and fragile, mm
작고 여린, mm
jakgo yeorin, mm
Dear younger me
Dear younger me
Dear younger me

In the dark long night, in a room alone
어두운 긴 밤 혼자인 방 안
eoduun gin bam honjain bang an
Curled up and falling asleep
웅크려 잠들던
ungkeuryeo jamdeuldeon
On your pillow, soaked with tears
너의 머리맡 젖은 베개 위
neoui meorimat jeojeun begae wi
I leave a letter
놓아두는 letter
noaduneun letter

The shining future is just a step ahead
빛이 나는 미래는 한 걸음 앞에
bichi naneun miraeneun han georeum ape
I'll be waiting for you there
그곳에서 널 기다릴 거야
geugoseseo neol gidaril geoya
Don't hold it in, it's okay to cry, you're doing great
참지는 마 울어도 돼 잘하고 있어
chamjineun ma ureodo dwae jalhago isseo
Love, older you
Love, older you
Love, older you

In the crumpled diary
구겨버린 일기장엔
gugyeobeorin ilgijang-en
I'm sorry, Mom, for making you mad
엄마 화내서 미안해
eomma hwanaeseo mianhae
Always trying hard, and harder
늘 열심히, 또 열심히
neul yeolsimhi, tto yeolsimhi
Those words sometimes hurt
그 말이 가끔 아팠지
geu mari gakkeum apatji

Dear younger me
Dear younger me
Dear younger me

In the dark long night, in a room alone
어두운 긴 밤 혼자인 방 안
eoduun gin bam honjain bang an
Curled up and falling asleep
웅크려 잠들던
ungkeuryeo jamdeuldeon
On your pillow, soaked with tears
너의 머리맡 젖은 베개 위
neoui meorimat jeojeun begae wi
I leave a letter
놓아두는 letter
noaduneun letter

All those tears will give future you
숱한 눈물은 미래의 너에게
sutan nunmureun mirae-ui neoege
Stronger wings to fly
더 단단한 날개를 줄 거야
deo dandanhan nalgaereul jul geoya
It's okay, embrace yourself, believe in you
괜찮다고 보듬어줘 너를 믿어줘
gwaenchantago bodeumeojwo neoreul mideojwo
Love, older you
Love, older you
Love, older you

Today, just let yourself sleep deeply
오늘은 그냥 푹 잠들어 보는 거야
oneureun geunyang puk jamdeureo boneun geoya
(Dear younger me)
(Dear younger me)
(Dear younger me)
When you wake up, your dark heart will shine bright
눈뜨면 어둡던 맘도 환해질 거야
nuntteumyeon eodupdeon mamdo hwanhaejil geoya

Dear younger me, love, older you
Dear younger me, love, older you
Dear younger me, love, older you
Dear younger me, love, older you
Dear younger me, love, older you
Dear younger me, love, older you
Believe in the you of tomorrow and dream big
내일 속의 너를 믿고 꿈을 꾸길
naeil sogui neoreul mitgo kkumeul kkugil
Love, older you
Love, older you
Love, older you
