Echoes of Us (마중길) Lyrics English Translation by Kim Jae Joong
Old worn-out pants, still covered in dirt and rain
I walked, just like that back then
Inside frozen time, retro
My drowsy body, soaked into this place
Eyes closed against the brightness
Back to those numb senses
Im arrived Im alive
The sound of my pounding heart, before I knew it
Became the background music that puts me to sleep
Even the honking sounds, sometimes
Turn into lyrics
Even if I say nothing, do nothing
The creaking floorboards
The stopped fan
Everything was so good
oh oh oh oh
Even if I talk and get no answer
Just me and the me who used to run around
Trying to connect the links
Because I loved that time
Yes, I’m coming back to you
Between faded photos, covered in dust
The blooming smile, just like that day
The summer light that remains, mellow
Sitting here in slowed-down time
Back to when I laughed at my own clumsiness
Back to when I cried over little things
I’m revived I’m alive
My two legs that used to run, before I knew it
A BPM that’s hard for even me to keep up with
When I got pulled somewhere
Where I ended up was
Even if I say nothing, do nothing
The creaking floorboards
The stopped fan
Everything was so good
oh oh oh oh
Even if I talk and get no answer
Just me and the me who used to run around
Trying to connect the links
Because I loved that time
Yes, I’m coming back to you
The me who was frozen here
The scenes I remembered
The panorama passing by
Will probably last forever
And it’ll always welcome me
Always
Even if I say nothing, do nothing
The creaking floorboards
The stopped fan
Everything was so good
oh oh oh oh
Even if I talk and get no answer
Just me and the me who used to run around
Trying to connect the links
Because I loved that time
Yes, I’m coming back to you
