Umbrella (en inglés)

Umbrella
My ankles start to sink in the rain
My eyes start to sink in tears I once held back
I cry
Ticking of clock in empty room
Noise of rain kissing the roof
Wearing that coat for first time in a while, a ring in the pocket
memory seeps through the fingers

Coming out into Seoul’s night, it’s been some days
Puddle becomes a small mirror
In that I stumble along, cos it hurts
Without you, I’m like a chair with an odd leg
Umbrella that was small for two of us
That seemed like an island in a cold world
It’s now too big and awkward
My left shoulder always used to be drenched
Burdened by memory, I drop my head, there
Shoelaces are undone as if they’re chucked away
But there’s only rain and wind around, no,
no-one to hold the umbrella up for me, and I cry
My ankles start to sink in the rain
My eyes start to sink in tears I once held back
I cry
You’re an umbrella over my head
Night with cold rain dripping on my shoulders
You being beside me became a habit of mine
I can’t go on without you, alone in the rain
Puddles of heaven’s tears on the ground
Moon that shines through star-covering clouds
Lonesome noises from shoes along the alley
I turned around, anxious, it was only an echo of mine
Shadow that looked just like myself
We couldn’t see each other, us
Are we separated, at last? I draw an answer
drawing in mind, and the answer, I smudge them

Umbrella that was too big in my eyes,
that unfolded from the world that made me cry
that blossomed with everlasting promise
Now, it’s torn up above two broken hearts
You’d never be there even if I turn around
My hands would be deep in my pockets
Wherever I freely walk around, my cheeks
Will soak up too easily, even in a drizzle
My ankles start to sink in the rain
My eyes start to sink in tears I once held back
I cry
You’re an umbrella over my head
Night with cold rain dripping on my shoulders
You being beside me became a habit of mine
I can’t go on without you, alone in the rain
I’ve opened up, the door to my heart,
You’re an umbrella above my head
Your shadow is my shade,
You’re an umbrella above my head
I’ve opened up, the door to my heart,
You’re an umbrella above my head
Your shadow is my shade,
You’re an umbrella above my head

As you are no longer beside me…
You used to wait outside my window with an umbrella
I cry
You’re an umbrella over my head
Night with cold rain dripping on my shoulders
You being beside me became a habit of mine
I can’t go on without you, alone in the rain
(I need you back in my life)
You’re an umbrella over my head
Night with cold rain dripping on my shoulders
Without you beside me, the world’s only a half
You can’t go on without me
Forever in the rain.
