- 무작정 *당신이 좋아요
I just like you
* 당신(DangSin) = You / The Korean word “당신(=you)” is a little complicated, so foreigners are advised to use it after learning well. - 이대로 옆에 있어 주세요
Please stay by my side like this
- 하고픈 *이야기 너무 많은데
There are so many stories I want to tell
*이야기(IYaGi) = Story / The abbreviated word for “이야기” is “얘기(YaeGi)”. - 흐르는 시간이 아쉬워
I feel sorry for the passing time - 멀리서 *기적이 우네요
Whistle is crying from afar
*기적(GiJeok) : A “기적(汽笛)” is a device that makes a horn sound by emitting steam from a train or ship. Or that sound. / Homonym: Miracle(奇跡/奇迹)

- 이렇게 앉아서 말은 안해도
Even if we sit like this and don’t talk - *가슴을 적시는 두사람
The two people who wet their hearts

The wind is blowing outside the window
