[Korean:]

차가운 새벽 공기에
난 몰래 눈을 뜨네
이 도시의 harmony
난 너무나 익숙해
내 어린 날들은 아득하고
빌딩과 차들만 가득해도
이젠 여기가 나의 집인걸

서울 서울
넌 왜 soul과 발음 비슷한 걸까
무슨 영혼을 겨졌길래
무엇이든 날 이토록
너의 곁에 잡아두었나
네게 난 추억조차 없는데
난 이제 니가 너무 지겨워
ㄴ의 맨날 똑같은 잿빛 표정
아니 아니 나는 내가 두려워
이미 너의 돼버렸거든

사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면 I love you Seoul
사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면 I hate you Seoul
사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면 I love you Seoul
사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면 I hate you Seoul

가만히 있어도 풍경이 바뀌는 bus와
비슷한 듯 조금씩 다른 building
역한 듯 아닌 듯한 삶의 향과
다뜻한 척 하는 차가운 공원들
늘 헤매야 하는 사람들과
너무 많은 한을 품는 한강들과
혼자 하늘을 볼 수 없는 그네들과
그네들과
좀 늦어버린 자

친구들은 툭하면 떠나겠다 해 난
난 끄덕거려 보지만 웃질 못해
너무 인정하기 싫지만
이미 난 너의 미움과
그 역겨움까지 다 사랑해
청계천의 비린 널 사랑해
선유도의 쓸쓸함을 사랑해
좀만 있으면 살기 좋다던
어느 택시기사의 한숨까지도
I love you

[English translation:]

In the cold dawn air
I open my eyes unknowingly
I’m already too used
To this city’s harmony
Even if my childhood is distant
And (the city) is full of buildings and cars
This is my home now

Seoul, Seoul
Why is your pronunciation the same as ‘soul’?
What soul do you have?
Whatever it is,
It keeps me at your side
I don’t even have any memories of you
I’m so bored of you now
Your ash-gray expressions, the same every day
No, no, I’m afraid of myself
For having become you

If love and hate are the same word I love you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I hate you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I love you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I hate you Seoul

The bus where the scenery changes even when I stay still
And the buildings that are the same, just barely different
The scent of life that’s at once repulsive and not, and
The cold parks pretending to be warm
The people who always must wander and
The river carrying too much han and
Those who can’t see the sky on their own
Those are
The ones who are too late

My friends easily say they’re getting out
I try to nod but I can’t smile
I don’t like to admit it, but
I already love your hatred
And your disgustingness
I love the smell of Cheonggyecheon
I love the loneliness of Seonyudo
Even the sigh of the taxi driver
Who told me life would be good soon
I love you

If love and hate are the same word I love you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I hate you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I love you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I hate you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I love you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I hate you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I love you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I hate you Seoul

I’m leavin’ you, I’m livin’ you
I’m leavin’ you, I’m livin’ you
I’m leavin’ you, I’m livin’ you
I’m leavin’ you, I’m livin’ you
