Korean Original

[Hook 1]
언젠간 이 눈물이 멈추길
언젠간 이 어둠이 걷히고
따스한 햇살이 이 눈물을 말려주길

[Verse 1]
지친 내 모습이
조금씩 지겨워지는 걸 느끼면
다 버리고 싶죠 힘들게 지켜오던 꿈을

[Verse 2]
가진 것보다는
부족한 것이 너무나도 많은 게
느껴질 때마다
다리에 힘이 풀려서 나 주저앉죠

[Hook 1]
언젠간 이 눈물이 멈추길
언젠간 이 어둠이 걷히고
따스한 햇살이 이 눈물을 마려주길

[Verse 3]
괜찮을 거라고
내 스스로를 위로하며 버티는
하루하루가 날 조금씩 두렵게 만들고

[Verse 4]
나를 믿으라고
말하면서도 믿지 못하는 나는
이제 얼마나 더
오래 버틸 수 있을지 모르겠어요

[Hook 2]
기다리면 언젠간 오겠지
밤이 길어도 해는 뜨듯이
아픈 내 가슴도 언젠간 다 낫겠지

[Bridge]
날 이젠 도와주길
하늘이 제발 도와주길
나 혼자서만 이겨내기가
점점 더 자신이 없어져요

[Hook 1]
언젠간 (언젠간) 이 눈물이 멈추길
언젠간 이 어둠이 걷히고 (이 어둠이 걷히고)
따스한 (따스한) 햇살이 이 눈물을 말려주길
(이 눈물을 말려주길)

[Hook 2]
기다리면 언젠간 오겠지 (Someday, someday~)
밤이 길어도 해는 뜨듯이 (해는 뜨듯이)
아픈 내 가슴도 언젠간 다 낫겠지
(언젠간 다 낫겠지)

[Outro]
언젠간
언젠간

English Translation

[Hook 1]
Someday, I hope these tears will stop
Someday, after this darkness clears up
I hope the warm sunshine dries these tears

[Verse 1]
When I feel that I’m getting tired
Of seeing myself exhausted
I want to throw away the dreams
That I've worked so hard to keep

[Verse 2]
Every time I feel that
I lack more than what I have
I lose strength in my legs and fall down

[Hook 1]
Someday, I hope these tears will stop
Someday, after this darkness clears up
I hope the warm sunshine dries these tears

[Verse 3]
I comfort myself, saying "it'll be alright"
But day by day, little by little
I start to grow afraid

[Verse 4]
I tell myself "believe in me"
All the while not believing myself
Now I don't know how much longer I can hold out

[Hook 2]
If I wait, someday it will come
Although the night is long, the sun rises
Someday, my pained heart will get well

[Bridge]
I hope someone will help me now
I hope the heavens will please help me
More and more, I don't have the confidence
To overcome it all by myself

[Hook 1]
Someday, I hope these tears will stop
Someday, after this darkness clears up
I hope the warm sunshine dries these tears
(Dries these tears)

[Hook 2]
If I wait, someday it will come
Although the night is long, the sun rises
Someday, my pained heart will get well
(Someday will get well)

[Outro]
Someday
Someday
