Lyrics and Meaning
📝홀리이즈백ㅣ Lyrics and Meaning 언제나 네곁에 [English Translation]
언제나 네 곁에 힘들땐 내게 말해
I’m always by your side, tell me whenever you are going through a hard time.
어디든 오면 돼 원불교 불교 성당 교회
You can come anywhere, whether it’s Won-Buddhism, Buddhism,
a Catholic church, or a Protestant church.
강요는 안할게 선택은 너에게
I won't force you, the choice is entirely up to you.
지금까지 버티는 것만으로 감사한데
I’m already so grateful just for you holding on and making it this far.
나팔 소리에 아침에 눈 뜨네
I open my eyes in the morning to the sound of the bugle call.
피곤하지만 몸을 일으키네
Though I'm exhausted, I force my body to get up.
집에서 안개던 이불도 잘개고 문 밖으로
Neatly folding the blanket (something I never did at home) and stepping out the door.
오늘도 다짐해 힘들어도 하루 잘 보내게
Today, I promise myself again to have a good day despite the hardships.
웃는 얼굴로 인사하려고 노력하기로 해
I make up my mind to try and greet others with a smiling face.
내일은 더 괜찮게 두손 모아 기도해
Putting my hands together, I pray for a better tomorrow.
모두 다치지 않게 그럼 조금 맘 편해지네
Praying that no one gets hurt, which brings a little peace to my mind.
언제나 네 곁에 힘들땐 내게 말해
I’m always by your side, tell me whenever you are going through a hard time.
어디든 오면 돼 원불교 불교 성당 교회
You can come anywhere, whether it’s Won-Buddhism, Buddhism,
a Catholic church, or a Protestant church.
강요는 안할게 선택은 너에게
I won't force you, the choice is entirely up to you.
지금까지 버티는 것만으로 감사한데
I’m already so grateful just for you holding on and making it this far.
실수해도 okay 어떻게 완벽한데
It’s okay to make mistakes, how can anyone be perfect?
사람은 이렇게 다 나아가는건데
This is exactly how people move forward and grow.
힘든건 당연해 잘못이 아닌데
It’s only natural to find things hard, it is never your fault.
다 알수는 없지만 그래도 널 안아줄게
I might not understand everything, but I will still hold you close.
멀지 않네 바로 옆에
It’s not far away, it’s right here by your side.
5 분 정도만 걸어서 오면 돼
You just need to walk for about 5 minutes to get here.
외로울때 숨 막힐때
When you feel lonely, or when you feel completely suffocated.
마음 속 짐을 여기다 버릴래
Would you like to cast down the heavy burdens of your heart here?
맘이 아픈게 당연한걸
It is completely normal for your heart to ache.
아프면 안돼 소중한 너
Please don't be hurt, you are so precious.
여기선 말해 다 솔직하게
Speak up here, you can be completely honest.
눈치 안봐도 되네
You don't have to worry about what others think.
뭐라할 사람 아무도 없고
There is absolutely no one here to judge or blame you.
너 자신이 먼저아 누구보다 영순위 최우선이야
You come first, you are the absolute top priority over anyone else.
지치면 잠시 좀 쉬어갈래 yeah
If you’re exhausted, won't you take a short rest? (Yeah)
