With this beautiful sound, sing my song for you
Oneu nal moondeuk babeun noreul jora
Jonyuki dwe osoya gatdon gongwon
Hayansaek mok mareul tago dorabomyun
Gojib shen nal bomyo non ussoji
Numoo yokshim naejin angil yaksok halge
Nowa gatdon gotnaye merry go round
Gi uk geu daero banjaki goh isso
Ee moseub chorom onjena naye gyoteh
He's like merry-go-round
Odijeum ini manhi gida ryuso no euri yebotdon geu golmok gil
Moriso bo ee don noye doo ogae eh bichin haesal numoo dadeut haesso
Iron ma eumi sarangee ramyon mi anhadan ma reun haji angi
