엄마 [Mom] [English translation]

How should I start this awkward confession?

What I’ve been foolishly and

inconsiderately pushing away

I thought it was okay to be like that

because I didn’t know you were in pain

Next time, next time, I pushed it

back and now I finally tell you

Love you, I really wanted to tell you, I love you

Common words but words I never told you

Because you’re always close by,

because you always said it’s OK,

I thought it was okay

For you, I’ve only been receiving for all this time

Song for you, I want to give

it to you, who has suffered

Though I missed you, though I wanted to

hear from you, just as always, I’m late again

Like the toys that I received by begging you

when I was a child./ As if it was mine, I thought

it was natural to receive your love

Now I will give it back to you

Love you, I really wanted to tell you, I love you

Common words but words I never told you

Because you’re always close by,

because you always said it’s OK,

I thought it was okay

For you, I’ve only been receiving for all this time

Song for you, I want to give

it to you, who has suffered

Though I missed you, though I wanted to

hear from you, just as always, I’m late again

Even if the world press me,

even when I feel like I’m all alone

You always showed me

an unchanging love

I’ll change now,

I’ll be better

Love you, I really wanted to tell you, I love you

Common words but words I never told you

Because you’re always close by,

because you always said it’s OK,

I thought it was okay

For you, I’ve only been receiving for all this time

Song for you, I want to give

it to you, who has suffered

Though I missed you, though I wanted to

hear from you, just as always, I’m late again
