Lyrics, Romanization & English Translation

난 엄마가 늘 베푼 사랑에 어색해

nan eom-ma-ga neul be-pun sa-rang-e eo-saek-hae

그래서 그런 건가 늘 어렵다니까

geu-rae-seo geu-reon geon-ga neul eo-ryeop-da-ni-kka

잃기 두려웠던 욕심 속에도

il-gi du-ryeo-woss-deon yok-sim sok-e-do

작은 예쁨이 있지

jak-eun ye-ppeum-i iss-ji

난 지금 행복해 그래서 불안해

nan ji-geum haeng-bok-hae geu-rae-seo bul-an-hae

폭풍 전 바다는 늘 고요하니까

pok-pung jeon ba-da-neun neul go-yo-ha-ni-kka

불이 붙어 빨리 타면 안 되잖아

bul-i but-eo ppal-ri ta-myeon an doe-jan-a

나는 사랑을 응원해

na-neun sa-rang-eul eung-won-hae

젊은 우리 나이테는 잘 보이지 않고

jeol-eun u-ri na-i-te-neun jal bo-i-ji an-go

찬란한 빛에 눈이 멀어 꺼져가는데

슬픈 어른은 늘 뒷걸음만 치고

seul-peun eo-reun-eun neul dwis-geol-eum-man chi-go

미운 스물을 넘긴 넌 지루해 보여

mi-un seu-mul-eul neom-gin neon ji-ru-hae bo-yeo

불이 붙어 빨리 타면 안 되니까

bul-i but-eo ppal-ri ta-myeon an doe-ni-kka

우리 사랑을 응원해

u-ri sa-rang-eul eung-won-hae

젊은 우리 나이테는 잘 보이지 않고
