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

서울 서울 넌 왜 soul과 발음이 비슷한 걸까 무슨 영혼을 가졌길래 무엇이 날 이토록 너의 곁에 잡아두나 네게 난 추억조차 없는데 난 이제 니가 너무 지겨워 너의 맨날 똑같은 잿빛 표정 아니 아니 나는 네가 두려워 이미 너의 일부가 되어 버렸거든

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

가만히 있어도 풍경이 바뀌는 bus와 비슷한 듯 조금씩 다른 building 역한 듯 아닌 듯한 삶의 향과 따뜻한 척 하는 차가운 공원들 늘 헤매야 하는 사람들과 너무 많은 한을 품는 한강들과 혼자 하늘을 볼 수 없는 그네들과 다 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 비린낼 사랑해 선유도의 쓸쓸함을 사랑해 돈만 있으면 살기 좋다던 어느 택시기사의 한숨까지도

English

In the cold dawn air I secretly open my eyes This city’s harmony I’m so used to it The memories of my young days are dim And even though buildings and cars are all that it’s full of Now, this place here is my home

Seoul Seoul Why are you pronounced similarly to soul What soul do you have What is it that keeps me here beside you like this When you don’t even hold any memories for me Now I’m so tired of you Of that same ashy grey expression you have every day No no, I’m afraid of you Because I’ve already become a part of you

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

The bus where the scenery changes even if you stay still And the buildings that seem similar and yet are slightly different The scent of life that’s both disgusting and not And the cold parks that pretend to be warm The people that always need to wander about And the Han rivers that contain too much sorrow* And the swings from which you can’t see the sky alone And with all the swings The person who has gotten a bit late

My friends often say they will leave and I I try to nod along but cannot smile I really don’t want to acknowledge it but Already, all of your ugly parts And even that disgustingness, I love it all I love the fishy smell of the Cheonggyecheon** I love the loneliness of Seonyudo*** And even the sigh of the taxi driver Who said it’s a nice place to live if you have the money

(T/N: * The name 한강 is a combination of 한 (han), which means ‘big’, and 강(kang) which means ‘river’. However, the word 한 can also mean 'sorrow’, which is what RM uses in 너무 많은 한을 품는 한강: the Han river that contains too much sorrow (=han). ** The Chunggyecheon (청계천) is a creek that flows through the middle of downtown Seoul. *** The Seonyudo park is a small island in the middle of the Han river.)
