Where we used to run around and play

가쁜 숨결

Gappeun sumgyeol

Our short, panting breaths

굽이진 골목 지나

Gubijin golmok jina

Passing through winding alleys

길을 따라가보면

Gireul ttaragabomyeon

If I follow this path along

같은 기억

Gateun gieok

There lies that same memory

As it fills me up

많은 게 변했다 해

Maneun ge byeonhaetda hae

People say so much has changed

You’ll feel the same

You’ll feel the same

You’ll feel the same

땀에 젖어 놀았던

Drenched in sweat from playing all day

우리는 너와 난 이젠

Urineun neowa nan ijen

Inside an old, worn-out drawer

작았던 서롤 기억해

Jagatdeon seorol gieokhae

When I’m far from home

When I’m far from home

When I’m far from home
