At the rising and setting of the sun
해가 뜨고 다시 지는 것에
haega tteugo dasi jineun geose
In my small room that I was obsessed with
연연하였던 나의 작은방

Even if I sing with an empty heart
텅 빈 마음 노랠 불러봤자

To someone, it might just be noise
누군가에겐 소음일 테니

Insignificant, my breath
보잘것없는 나의 한숨에

Is it harder for you to hear
나 들으라고 내쉰 숨이 더냐

Between dreams, books, power, and walls
꿈과 책과 힘과 벽 사이를

Days busy with being cautious
눈치 보기에 바쁜 나날들

Boy, hold on to your ambition
소년이여 야망을 가져라

Against irresponsible sayings
무책임한 격언 따위에

You command the sea
저 바다를 호령하는 거야

My absurd young dream
어처구니없던 나의 어린 꿈

The day I realized I couldn't have it
가질 수 없음을 알게 되던 날

The cunning that sprouted like a rash
두드러기처럼 돋은 심술이

Finally, tainted its name
끝내 그 이름 더럽히고 말았네

어떤 맘이 들까

Every day
하루하루가

Remember that indifferent look
무덤덤한 그 눈빛을 기억해
