Rain [English translation]

On top of the dark colored rainy Seoul

the cars that speed

The umbrellas that move around everywhere

The weather is foggy, the air is clear

When that rain stops, me who gets reflected

in that puddle of water with a background of pale grey

Why am I stuck standing here

I don’t know whether I have a lot of thoughts

or if I don’t have at all

When it becomes brighter outside, I wake up from my sleep

With my tired hand,

I brush through my hair multiple times

My song memo page that

I couldn’t finish last night

‘I’m going to finish it today’, as I close my eyes tightly,

I give out a long sigh

I try to think of something to say as an excuse

Since I didn’t write anything anyways,

I just write down anything and send it

When I change my view and look outside the window,

it’s all full of grey lights

A grey city with grey buildings

Grey rain on top of a grey road

Everything in this world is slow

My dongsaeng who woke up keeps blurring the ends of his words

I once again open and close the refrigerator that has no fault

I think for now that I have to go outside

Without an umbrella,

it sounds clear, the sound of rain touching the world

I smile, this is the world’s best background music

I hum like a carzy person

What time could it be

On top of this dark colored Seoul that’s raining,

the image of me who still can’t

sleep becomes blurred

When the rain stops, myself who gets reflected

in that puddle of water, looks more pathetic

On a rainy night, the rain that knocks on the window

hits my heart

I grab my hurting shoulder and check my texts

'How are you lately?’

My friend’s text to check up on me

makes me emotional every time

As I smell the scent of the damp raindrops

I stretch out my arms, and

after going to the bathroom,

I greet myself in the mirror who is still not fully awaken

There isn’t anyone to meet, but

I still shower for a long time

Outside of the dorms, it’s still raining

Even though there isn’t somewhere to exactly go to,

I take my umbrella

and walk, roaming around

On top of my dirtied shoes, the rain seems to try to

prove its existence as it leaves its mark.

Like this, was I a person who left my mark like the rain

If not, then

was I just someone who came suddenly and left like lightning

On top of this dark colored Seoul that’s raining,

the image of me who still can’t

sleep becomes blurred

When the rain stops, myself who gets reflected

in that puddle of water, looks more pathetic

I lift up my body and when I feel that it’s stiff,

I look out the window and

as if it’s predicting my body condition,

it’s raining.

I look at the raindrops caught in the mirror and feel this

It’s like the tears that fell through my heart

When I look outside afterwards,

it looks like situation

On the rain that comes down like a melody,

everyone is andante.

I get ready and go out

As I open up my umbrella that’s been scrunched up like my expression,

and walk, and the moment I hear the rain sound

Who could this rain be coming down for

The sound of it coming down and hitting

the top of this sad grey cement

Come slow down

On top of this dark colored Seoul that’s raining,

the image of me who still can’t

sleep becomes blurred

When the rain stops, myself who gets reflected

in that puddle of water, looks more pathetic

Even if this rain dies down,

even if the clouds clear up,

I still stand this same way

without saying anything

I look down on the world

I’m looking at myself who

isn’t being beautiful

In this rain

In this rain
