어둠속에서 혼자 울고 있을 때

나의 손을 꼭 잡아준 사람

비바람이 불어도

늘 곁에 있어준 사람


그건 바로 당신이었소

내 삶이 때로는 노래가 되어

때로는 서글픈 사랑이 되여

황금빛 노래 붉은 파도 위를 달리는


바람이 되고 싶소

내친구여 내사랑아 나죽어도

그대 잊지 않으리

평생을 사랑해도 아직도 그리운 사람


그대는 내친구여

내 삶이 때로는 노래가 되고

때로는 서글픈 사람이 되여

황금빛 노을 붉은 파도 위를 달리는


바람이 되고 싶소

내친구여 내사랑아 나죽어도

그대 잊지 않으리

평생을 사랑해도 아직도 그리운 사람


그대는 내친구여

내친구여 내사랑아 나죽어도

그대 잊지 않으리

평생을 사랑해도 아직도 그리운 사람


[English Translation]


When I’m crying alone in the dark

The person who held my hand tight

Even if the rain and wind blow

The person who was always by your side


That was you

My life sometimes becomes a song

Sometimes it becomes sad love

Golden song, running on the red waves


Ezoic

I want to be the wind

My friend, my love, even if I die

I won’t forget you

Even if I love my whole life, I still miss someone


You are my friend

My life sometimes becomes a song

Sometimes I become a sad person

Running on the golden sunset and red waves


I want to be the wind

My friend, my love, even if I die

I won’t forget you

Even if I love my whole life, I still miss someone


You are my friend

My friend, my love, even if I die

I won’t forget you

Even if I love my whole life, I still miss someone


You my friend

사랑하세요

당신의 그 옷을 벗어요

다시 여자로 사세요

당신을 가둬놨던 옷을 벗고

새 옷을 갈아입어요

잊었던 화장을 하고

잊었던 내 향기를 찾고

사라진 지난날의 내 모습과

행복을 찾아요

그 누구도 인생은 장담 못 해요

자고 나면 바뀌는 게 인생이니까

세상을 바보처럼 살지 말아요
