온기 (Warmth) Lyrics (English Translation) – Lim Young Woong (임영웅)

[Verse 1]
no one will know
Because I never said it
Moments when you want to cry like a child
The term ‘adult’ really makes things difficult for you.
make me feel more lonely

[Verse 2]
I walked a long way with difficult steps.
Where did you want to go?
You, curled up in the dark and deep
I won’t leave

[Chorus]
No matter how far we went
No matter how long time passes
Until I meet the rising sun at the end of this road
I will be by your side

[Verse 3]
I walked a long way with difficult steps.
Where did you want to go?
When the world leaves you alone
I remember just one thing

[Chorus]
No matter how far we went
No matter how long time passes
Until I meet the rising sun at the end of this road
I’m by your side

[Bridge]
(I will be with you)
I feel like I’m alone
(I can be your only one)
Just one courage in the darkness
The warmth of just one person (Wanna be warm)
I can be that small beginning (In your life)
[Chorus]
Even if I go a long way again
Even if a longer time passes
Until I meet the rising sun at the end of this road
I will be by your side
I’m by your side
