Jeo dalbitsoge meomchwojin sigan.
Kkeuteomneun eodumsoge dallineun nae maeum.

Saenggagui saemui kkeuteun mangsangui pokpo.
Saebyeokbarame naedeonjineun dambaekkongcho cheoreom
Swipge heuteojineunga, nae sarmui mokpyo?
Siganjocha apseoganeun buranhamui sokdo.
Jeogi jeo soetdeomi wiui modakbul
Barabomyeo buditchin saenggagui jogakdeul.
Urin monocle... hanjjok nuneul jom deo keuge tteugi wihae
Hanjjok nuneul gamabeorin senakeul.
Nae apeul seuchyeojinagan manheun saramgwa son teumsaero
Heulleoganeun sarang da neomu swipge bonaesseo.
I guess, nothing is forever.
November rain cheoreom ssodajineun
Stress and pain, just to entertain.
Modeun sijageun kkeuchigido hae. neul majimagindeusi gidohae.

Jeo dalbitsoge meomchwojin sigan.
Kkeuteomneun eodumsoge dallineun nae maeum.

Oneureun gangmure heulleo gagido,
Naeireun gangeul geoseulleo gagido haneun nae insaengeul sseureogan

Kkeutdo naeji anha, machimpyoreul naeji.
Dwiteullin sijak, kallitoseu wei.
Modeun sijageun kkeuchigido hae. naegen deo keun tteusi pillyohae.

Jeo dalbitsoge meomchwojin sigan.
(Modeun sijageun kkeuchigido hae.

Kkeuteomneun eodumsoge dallineun nae maeum.
(Modeun sijageun kkeuchigido hae.
Naegen deo keun tteusi pillyohae.)

Everything fades away to a shade of gray.
The darkness of the heartless enslaves the day,
And I pray to save you but it's safe to say au revoir.
Ce soir je suis desole.
