[Verse 1]
In the cold morning air
I secretly open my eyes
This city's harmony, it’s so familiar to me
Though my young days are far away and it's only full of buildings and cars, it's after all, my home
(Seoul, Seoul)
[Verse 2]
Why is your pronunciation the same as ’soul'?
What sort of soul do you hold?
What is it that holds me by your side like so
Since I do not even hold memories of you
I'm now so sick of you
Your constant grey expression
No, no, I'm scared of myself
For I've already become a part of you
[Chorus]
If love and hate is the same word, I love you Seoul
If love and hate is the same word, I hate you Seoul
If love and hate is the same word, I love you soul
If love and hate is the same word, I hate you soul (soul)
[Verse 3]
The buses that change landscapes, even when I'm still
And the buildings that are a little of the same, a little different
The scent of life that may or may not be foul and
The cold parks that pretend to be warm
The people that must always wander and
The Han Rivers that must harbour too much pain and those who cannot see the sky for themselves, and those, and those a little too late
[Verse 4]
Friends easily say they'll leave
I look and nod but I cannot smile
I hate to admit it, but
I even love your hatred and disgust
I love the fishy smell of Cheonggyecheon
I love the loneliness of Seonyudo
Even the sigh of some taxi driver
Who says it's a good place to live if you have the money
I love you
[Chorus]
If love and hate is the same word, I love you Seoul
If love and hate is the same word, I hate you Seoul
If love and hate is the same word, I love you soul
If love and hate is the same word, I hate you soul (soul)
[Bridge]
If love and hate is the same word, I love you Seoul (I love you Seoul)
If love and hate is the same word, I hate you Seoul (I hate you Seoul)
If love and hate is the same word, I love you soul (I love you soul)
If love and hate is the same word, I hate you soul (soul)
I’m living your
I’m living you
I'm living your
I’m living you
I'm living your (live in you, live in you)
I'm living you (live in you, live in you)
I'm living your (live in you, live in you)
I’m living you (live in you, live in you)
Seoul
[Chorus]
If love and hate is the same word, I love you Seoul
If love and hate is the same word, I hate you Seoul
If love and hate is the same word, I love you soul
If love and hate is the same word, I hate you soul
[Outro]
Soul (yeah)
I love you Seoul (yeah)
I hate you Seoul (yeah)
I love you soul (yeah)
I hate you soul
