Hug Lyrics English Translation by Jung Seung Hwan
Your lit-up window
Seems like a lonely gesture
Who are you waiting for?
There’s no one outside
Your tightly closed eyes
Can’t seem to fall asleep easily
I wonder what’s on your mind
In the end, I just couldn’t know
Even though I saw you crying
The reason I pretended not to notice
Was because I was scared
Please, just you, don’t leave me
The words I swallowed down inside every night
Afraid I’d get my hopes up again, afraid I’d get sad
I just held you tight in my arms
And fell asleep
As if it were a lie, time has passed
But we are still
The same us from back then
You’re there at the end of that street
Were you waiting for me?
You, waving your hand
I think I finally understand
I, only I, won’t leave you
The promise I held onto and swallowed on all those countless nights I fell asleep
Even without saying it, I would have known
Because even now, your embrace
Is exactly the same as it was back then
It really hurt, didn’t it?
It was scary, wasn’t it?
It was lonely, wasn’t it?
But even those harsh times
I loved them too
Just like that embrace that protected my younger days
Now it’s my turn
To hold you tight
