I bam jinago namyeoneun
Nal kkaeul geudae oltejyo
Han bangul ssik heullyeo noheun
Nunmul jeuryeo barbeumyeo
Jeo mun yeollimyeon tto dasi
Bichi naege daheultejyo
Geu ihuron yeongwontorok
Haengbokhage saltejyo
Yeol dusi jongi ullimyeon
Kkum sogeseo nun tteujyo
Saramdeurui chukbok soge
Chumchugo inneun uri dul
Nan sumeul swijyo (you will never know)
Nan saraisseoyo (everyone fails to love)
Geu sasilmaneun na mideodo doeneun geogetjyo
Nothing lasts forever,
Nothing really matters
Nal chatneun giri heomhaeseo
Hemaego innabwayo
Eonjenganeun useumyeonseo
Geudae pume jamdeulgetjyo
Nan gal su eobtjyo
(I will never know)
Nal mot chajeulkka bwa
(Everyone tells me so)
I gidarimi da mulgeopum dwae beorilkkabwa
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing really matters
