덕소리에서 자란 한 소년이 있었어요
아이는 주머니에 아무것도 없었지만
어머니의 사랑은 가득해
항상 웃음 짓던 소년이였죠
어느 날 그 소년 앞에
금을 두른 부자가 나타났답니다
너에게 미래를 줄 테니
지금 이 순간을 나와 바꾸지 않겠니?
나 평생 꿈만을 꿨죠
알잖아요 꿈은 안 들잖아 돈
나 이 순간을 나 평생 떠올렸죠
친구들이 대학을 갈 때
난 한강에 가서 술을 마셨네
되뇌이면서 '세상은 날 싫어해'
그렇지 그렇지 그럴만했어
그때는 몰라 그리고 애써
알려고 하지도 않잖아
눈물을 흘렸지 내 방 속에서
눈물 흘려 여의도에서
두 눈물 맛이 달라 아
빌었어
빌었어 밤마다
이럴 땐 술김에 오그라들게
두 손을 모으고 말야
Oh oh 빌었어
빌었어 밤마다
나 무교잖아
근데 하늘에다가
비는 걸 보면 있나 봐
내 소원을 들어줄 어떤 이 (hey)
쌈마이 삶에도 볕들 날
오긴 하네 젠장 오늘 밤
제게 말이 안 되는 일이 일어났어요 엄마 (엄마)
지금 시간은 열두시 반
작업 실행 막차 끊길 시간
지금 The Quiett 그분 집 밑에 있어요 엄마
걸어가도 괜찮을 만한 기분이에요
여친한테도 전화했네요
걔 또한 활짝 웃더라구요 저는 울었네요
표현 안돼요 제 기분이
엄마 보내줄게 저 먼 Italy
유유 걱정하지마
이제 너는 공부만 하면은 돼
형이 계약금도 준대
Uh 이건 줄래 엄마께
Uh 일단 비밀 아빠껜 eh
아빠가 시장 사람들에게 말씀할 수도 있으니까
일단은 비밀로 햇! 쉿!
밥은 잘 챙기니 걱정 마 조만간 덕소 갈게 bye mom
나 평생 꿈만을 꿨죠
알잖아요 꿈은 안 들잖아 돈
나 이 순간을 나 평생 떠올렸죠
친구들이 대학을 갈 때
난 한강에 가서 술을 마셨네
되뇌이면서 '세상은 날 싫어해'
그렇지 그렇지 그럴만했어
그때는 몰라 그리고 애써
알려고 하지도 않잖아
눈물을 흘렸지 내 방 속에서
눈물 흘려 여의도에서
두 눈물 맛이 달라 아
빌었어 빌었어 밤마다
이럴 땐 술김에
오그라들게
두 손을 모으고 말야 oh oh
빌었어 빌었어 밤마다
나 무교잖아
근데 하늘에다가
비는 걸 보면 있나 봐
내 소원을 들어줄 하느님 oh oh oh oh oh woo
The song "Wish" by Changmo tells the story of a boy who grew up in a small village called Deokso-ri, located in the Namyangju-si neighborhood in South Korea. The boy did not have much growing up, but he had the love of his mother. As he was always happy and smiling, one day, a rich man wearing gold appeared before him and promised him a future if he would exchange it for his present moment. The boy refused, saying he had been dreaming of this moment for all his life, that he did not care about money, and he recalled memories of spending time with friends, drinking by the Han River and feeling disheartened with the world at that time.
The song has a message that money can't buy time or the memories that shape our lives. The boy in the song chose not to exchange his current moment because he values his memories and experiences. He didn't let the sadness of not having material possessions and opportunities overshadow his happiness, and he's content with his imperfect life. Overall, the lyrics reflect the idea that happiness should not be measured by money, but the moments that create joy in our lives.
