Текст и перевод песни 적재 - 골목길

골목길

내가 살던 작은 동네
뛰어 놀던 작은 집
그땐 참 넓게만 느껴지던
아주 작은 골목길

지름길을 찾아 헤매던
작고 볼품없던 아이
그땐 참 멀게만 느껴지던
학교 가던 골목길

하늘에서 떨어지던
별똥별을 보던 밤
주먹을 불끈 쥐고
유치한 소원 빌던

참 순진한 녀석이던
참 작던 그 아이
이제는 손을 뻗어봐도
닿을 수 없는

다시 돌아갈 순 없네
이미 알고는 있었지만
가끔 내 삶이 버거울 때면
생각나는 그 골목길

내가 살던 작은 동네
뛰어 놀던 친구들
그땐 참 넓게만 느껴지던
아주 작은 골목길

동생 손을 꼭 붙잡고
놀러 가던 그 아이들
그땐 참 멀게만 느껴지던
외할머니 살던 집

하늘에서 떨어지던
별똥별을 보던 밤
할머니 집 옥상에 누워
끝없는 꿈을 꾸던

참 순진한 녀석이던
참 작던 그 아이
이제 더는 그리워해도
닿을 수 없는

다시 돌아갈 순 없네
이미 알고는 있었지만
가끔 내 삶이 버거울 때면
생각나는 그 골목길

그 골목길
그 골목길

Alleyway

In the small town where I used to reside,
In the little house where I used to hide,
What once felt like an expanse so grand,
Was a tiny alley, so close at hand.

Searching for shortcuts, I'd roam,
A small and insignificant child at home,
What seemed like miles when I set out,
Was the alley that led me throughout.

Beneath the celestial drape,
I'd gaze at the falling stars' escape,
My fist clenched tight,
As I made my childish plight.

Oh, how naive I was, it's true,
How small in that alley, I grew,
Now, though I reach with all my might,
I cannot grasp that precious sight.

Returning there is not my fate,
Though I have long known this state,
Yet when life's burdens weigh me down,
Memories of that alley resound.

In the small town where I used to reside,
With friends who'd run by my side,
What once felt like an expanse so grand,
Was a tiny alley, so close at hand.

Holding my little brother's hand,
We'd venture out to explore the land,
What seemed like miles when we set out,
Was the path that led to our grandmother's clout.

Beneath the celestial drape,
I'd gaze at the falling stars' escape,
Lying on her rooftop, my dreams would soar,
Endless possibilities, forevermore.

Oh, how naive I was, it's true,
How small in that alley, I grew,
Though I yearn for it now, with all my might,
I cannot grasp that precious sight.

Returning there is not my fate,
Though I have long known this state,
Yet when life's burdens weigh me down,
Memories of that alley resound.

That alleyway,
That alley way.
