그런 날이 있을까요?

Geureon nari isseulkkayo?

Could there ever be a day like that?

마냥 좋은 그런 날이요

Manyang joeun geureon nariyo

A day that is simply, unconditionally good

내일 걱정 하나 없이

Naeil geokjeong hana eopsi

Without a single worry about tomorrow

웃게 되는 그런 날이요

Utge doeneun geureon nariyo

A day where I just find myself smiling

뭔가 하나씩은

Mweonga hanassigeun

There's always at least one thing

걸리는 게 생기죠

Geollineun ge saenggijyo

That gets caught in the back of my mind

과연 행복할 수 있을까요

Gwayeon haengbokhal su isseulkkayo

Will I truly ever be able to be happy?

📚 Section Vocabulary & Notes:

• * 마냥 (Manyang): Purely / entirely / unconditionally — Conveys doing something carefree without overthinking or feeling burdened.
• * 걸리는 게 생기죠 (Geollineun ge saenggijyo): From '걸리다' (to catch / get stuck) and '생기다' (to occur). Metaphorically refers to nagging worries or obstacles that weigh on one's heart.

[Verse 2]

Could there ever be a day like that?

꿈을 찾게 되는 날이요

Kkumeul chatge doeneun nariyo

A day when I finally discover my dream

너무 기뻐 하늘 보고

Neomu gippeo haneul bogo

When I'm so overjoyed looking up at the sky

소리를 지르는 날이요

Sorireul jireuneun nariyo

That I shout at the top of my lungs

뭐 이대로 계속해서

Mwo idaero gyesokhaeseo

If I just keep holding on like this

버티고 있으면 언젠가

Beotigo isseumyeon eonjenga

And endure each day, will a day like that

그런 날이 올까요

Geureon nari olkkayo

Ever come to me someday?

📚 Section Vocabulary & Notes:

• * 소리를 지르다 (Sorireul jireuda): To shout / to scream — Used here to describe an unrestrained, ecstatic cry of relief and pure delight.
• * 버티고 있으면 (Beotigo isseumyeon): From '버티다' (to endure / persevere / withstand) + '-고 있으면' (if one is continually doing). Captures the grit of surviving tough times.

[Chorus]

May I be happy?

매일 웃고 싶어요

Maeil utgo sipeoyo

I want to smile every single day

걱정 없고 싶어요

Geokjeong eopgo sipeoyo

I want to live without worries

아무나 좀 답을 알려주세요

Amuna jom dabeul allyeojuseyo

Can anyone please give me the answer?

So help me

주저앉고 있어요

Jujeoanko isseoyo

I'm collapsing to the ground

눈물 날 것 같아요

Nunmul nal geot gatayo

I feel like I'm bursting into tears

그러니까 제발 제발 제발요

Geureonikka jebal jebal jebaryo

So please, please, I'm begging you

Tell me it's okay to be happy

📚 Section Vocabulary & Notes:

• * 아무나 (Amuna): Anyone / anybody — Emphasizes utter desperation, showing they don't care who it is, just that someone listens.
• * 주저앉고 있어요 (Jujeoanko isseoyo): From '주저앉다' (to slump down / sink to the ground). Reflects being physically and mentally defeated by life's pressure.
• * 제발 (Jebal): Please / I beg you — Repeated three times ('제발 제발 제발요') with the polite particle '-요' for an earnest, tearful plea.

[Verse 3]

알고리즘엔 잘된 사람만

Algorijeumen jaldoen saramman

My algorithm only shows people who made it

수도 없이 뜨네요

Sudo eopsi tteuneyo

Endlessly popping up on my feed

뭐 이대로 계속해서

Mwo idaero gyesokhaeseo

If I just keep going like this

살아만 있으면 언젠가

Saraman isseumyeon eonjenga

As long as I just stay alive, will a day

저런 날이 올까요

Jeoreon nari olkkayo

Like that ever come to me too?

📚 Section Vocabulary & Notes:

• * 알고리즘 (Algorijeum): Algorithm — Refers to social media recommendation feeds, highlighting the modern struggle of constant comparison.

• * 눈물 날 것 같아요 (Nunmul nal geot gatayo): 'I feel like crying' — A relatable, colloquial Korean expression for being on the verge of breaking down.

[Bridge]

그냥 쉽게 쉽게 살고 싶은데

Geunyang swipge swipge salgo sipeunde

I just want to live an easy, simple life

내 하루하루는 왜 이리

Nae haruharuneun wae iri

Why are each and every one of my days

놀라울 정도로 어려운 건데

Nollawul jeongdoro eoryeoun geonde

So shockingly and unbelievably difficult?

📚 Section Vocabulary & Notes:

• * 쉽게 쉽게 (Swipge swipge): Doubling '쉽게' (easily) creates rhythmic spoken emphasis: smoothly, without friction, taking life in stride.
• * 하루하루 (Haruharu): Day after day / each day — Emphasizes the repetitive, grinding routine of daily survival.
• * 놀라울 정도로 (Nollawul jeongdoro): To an astonishing degree — From '놀랍다' (surprising/astounding) + '정도' (extent/level). Expresses disbelief at how unrelenting hardships can be.
