Nega eopda

Hangsang nal bangyeojudeon ne jeonhwa moksori
Ije deoneun deureul su eobseo
Nal bomyeo banjjagideon neoui nunbitto
Ppuyeoke heuryeojyeosseo
Ireon ne moseup algo inni
O gapjagi wae irae nan yeojeonhi geudaeronde
Mworago mal jom haebwa naega mwol jalmotaenneunji
Naega jeonbura haetjanha nabakke eopdago haetjanha
Geuraetdeon neoneun jigeum eodiro gabeoryeonneunji

Wae irae wae irae wae irae o geudae
Wae irae wae irae wae irae
Neoman barabwanneunde ije na eotteokharan mariya

Reirereirereire o geudae
Reirereirereire
Neoman saranghaenneunde ireoke neol bonael sun eobseo

Dwaesseo forget about you
Kkwae kulhage neomeogagien kkeunjeokhan memories
Nado deo isang anhae geunde jom isanghage
Gaseume pumeotdeon sarang da jugeosseunikka gwandullae
Malcheoreom motae tteonal ttaen tteonadeorado miryeoneun mot tte
Mwot ttaemune nunmureul heullimyeo doraseo?
Doraseoseo malhaebwa hwaksilhi jinsiminji damn

O gapjagi wae irae nan yeojeonhi geudaeronde
Mworago mal jom hae bwa naega mwol jalmotaenneunji
Naega jeonbura haetjanha na bakke eopdago haetjanha
Geuraetdeon neoneun jigeum eodiro gabeoryeonneunji

Wae irae wae irae wae irae o geudae
Wae irae wae irae wae irae
Neoman barabwanneunde ije na eotteokharan mariya

Reirereirereire o geudae
Reirereirereire
Neoman saranghaenneunde ireoke neol bonael sun eobseo

Uri hamkkehan kkumgatdeon sigan
Nuguboda deo areumdawotjanha neo gieokhani
Nan ajikkkaji nege jul sarangi manheunde

Gapjagi wae irae neodapji anke ireoneun iyuga mwoni
Ttan namja saenggin ge bunmyeonghae anim naege wae irae baby
(Uri haengbokhaetjanha nal saranghaetjanha)
Hemaedeon maeilmaeiri wae iri
Naegen gilgeman neukkyeojideonji mayday
Idaeroneun naeirui naneun eobseo pay back the pain
Neo eobsin jasini eobseo game set

Wae irae wae irae wae irae o geudae
Wae irae wae irae wae irae
Neoman barabwanneunde ije na eotteokharan mariya

Reirereirereire o geudae
Reirereirereire
Neoman saranghaenneunde ireoke neol bonael sun eobseo

(Wae irae wae irae wae irae
Wae irae wae irae wae irae)
Where were you girl when I needed you the most?
You vanished from my life so quietly like a ghost
No trace, erased, from my life you were effaced
Gone with the wind it feels like I’ve been misplaced
(Reirereirereire reirereirereire)
I feel abandoned by you girl
Was ready to give you the world
Things were going so well,
But then you decided to desert me
So I’m tellin you this





Ireoke neol bonael sun eobseo
Wae irae
