Lyrics, Romanization & English Translation
툭하면 거친 말들로 내 맘에 상처를 내놓고
tuk-ha-myeon geo-chin mal-deul-ro nae mam-e sang-cheo-reul nae-not-go
미안하단 말 한마디 없이 또 나 혼자 위로하고
mi-an-ha-dan mal han-ma-di eop-i tto na hon-ja wi-ro-ha-go
오늘 하루도 혹시 날 떠날까 늘 불안해 해
o-neul ha-ru-do hok-si nal tteo-nal-kka neul bul-an-hae hae
I just want you to stay (you to stay)
점점 무뎌져 가는 너의 그 무표정 속에, oh
jeom-jeom mu-dyeo-jyeo ga-neun neo-ui geu mu-pyo-jeong sok-e, oh
천천히 내려놓자며 거울에 속삭이곤 해, oh
cheon-cheon-hi nae-ryeo-not-ja-myeo geo-ul-e sok-sak-i-gon hae, oh
날 당연하게 생각하는 너지만 그게 너다워
nal dang-yeon-ha-ge saeng-gak-ha-neun neo-ji-man geu-ge neo-da-wo
그래도, stay, stay, stay with me (stay with me)
geu-rae-do, stay, stay, stay with me (stay with me)
널 닮은 듯한 슬픈 멜로디 (ah)
neol dal-eun deus-han seul-peun mel-ro-di (ah)
이렇게 날 울리는데, eh-eh
i-reot-ge nal ul-ri-neun-de, eh-eh
네 향기는 달콤한 felony (ah)
ne hyang-gi-neun dal-kom-han felony (ah)
너무 밉지만 사랑해
neo-mu mip-ji-man sa-rang-hae
어두운 밤이 날 가두기 전에 내 곁을 떠나지 마
eo-du-un bam-i nal ga-du-gi jeon-e nae gyeot-eul tteo-na-ji ma
아직 날 사랑하니? 내 맘과 같다면 오늘은 떠나지 마
a-jik nal sa-rang-ha-ni? nae mam-gwa gat-da-myeon o-neul-eun tteo-na-ji ma
굳이 너여야만 하는 이유는 묻지 마
gut-i neo-yeo-ya-man ha-neun i-yu-neun mut-ji ma
그저 내 곁에 stay with me
geu-jeo nae gyeot-e stay with me
It goes a little something like
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
지금 당장 많은 걸 바라는 게 아냐
ji-geum dang-jang man-eun geol ba-ra-neun ge a-nya
그저 내 곁에 stay with me
geu-jeo nae gyeot-e stay with me
사실은 난 더 바라는 게 없어 이제
sa-sil-eun nan deo ba-ra-neun ge eop-eo i-je
심장은 뛰긴 하는 건지 무감각해 그래
sim-jang-eun ttwi-gin ha-neun geon-ji mu-gam-gak-hae geu-rae
사람들과의 억지스런 한마디보단
sa-ram-deul-gwa-ui eok-ji-seu-reon han-ma-di-bo-dan
너와의 어색한 침묵이 차라리 좋아
neo-wa-ui eo-saek-han chim-muk-i cha-ra-ri jot-a
So stay 그게 어디가 됐건 말이야
So stay geu-ge eo-di-ga dwaess-geon mal-i-ya
가끔 어둠이 올 때면, I'll be your fire
ga-kkeum eo-dum-i ol ttae-myeon, I'll be your fire
거짓 같은 세상 속 유일한 truth is you
geo-jis gat-eun se-sang sok yu-il-han truth is you
This a letter from me to you
널 닮은 듯한 슬픈 멜로디 (ah)
neol dal-eun deus-han seul-peun mel-ro-di (ah)
이렇게 날 울리는데, eh-eh
