I lean against the window in a small room
and sing a song that no one knows
A voice that is still worthless
is ringing out once again
We can’t eat good food yet,
we can’t go to cafes whenever we want yet
My embarrassingly thin wallet –
although that’s not what I want
But because you’re here
without a single small complaint
Like Cho Yong Pil, I will sing without change
I will protect you from behind you
Although I can’t treat you well like in the movies,
I will never change
I wasn’t lonely
because my dream found me when I was young
Though reality tries to catch me –
But the once resilient me
is struggling these days
Everything is not that easy –
me right now is not good enough for you
I can’t even pay my rent properly
so I wonder if I have the right to even love you
Should we just break up?
I thought about it for a while
I have never really made you happy –
am I just a burden to you?
So I try to deny my feelings for you
But my beating heart keeps talking
Like Cho Yong Pil, I will sing without change
I will protect you from behind you
Although I can’t treat you well like in the movies,
I will never change
To you, to you,
who is like my lucky charm, to you, to you,
to you, who doesn’t waver
I will let you listen to a new and unique song,
wherever you are,
I’ll embrace you with this song
Because of my pitiful self,
no, because of my good-for-nothing life
You have struggled so much
so it’s my turn to pay you back
Though I don’t have a single cent,
I will put forth all of my genuine heart
Like Cho Yong Pil, I will sing without change
I will protect you from behind you
Although I can’t treat you well like in the movies,
I will never change
I lean against the window in a small room
and sing a song that no one knows
Until the day you hear my voice
from a big stage some day
