| 이슬비가 내리는 오늘은 | iseulbiga naerineun oneureun | On this day with a light drizzle falling, |
| 사랑하는 그대의 생일날 | saranghaneun geudaeui saengilnal | it’s the birthday of the one I love. |
| 온종일 난 그대를 생각하면서 | onjongil nan geudaereul saenggakhamyeonseo | All day long, thinking only of you, |
| 무엇을 할까 고민했죠 | mueoseul halkka gominhaetjyo | I worried over what I could do. |
| 난 가까운 책방에 들러서 | nan gakkaun chaekbange deulleoseo | I stopped by a nearby bookstore, |
| 예쁜 시집에 내 맘 담았죠 | yeppeun sijibe nae mam damatjyo | and poured my heart into a pretty book of poems. |
| 그 다음엔 근처 꽃집으로 가서 | geu daeumen geuncheo kkotjibeuro gaseo | Then I went to a flower shop nearby, |
| 빨간 장미 한 송일 샀죠 | ppalgan jangmi han songil satjyo | and bought a single red rose. |
| 내려오는 비를 맞으며 | naeryeooneun bireul majeumyeo | Letting the falling rain touch me, |
| 그대에게 가는 길 너무 상쾌해 | geudaeege ganeun gil neomu sangkwaehae | the road that leads to you feels so fresh. |
| 품 속에는 장미 한 송이 | pum sogeneun jangmi han songi | In my arms is a single rose, |
| 책 한 권과 그댈 위한 깊은 내 사랑 | chaek han gwongwa geudael wihan gipeun nae sarang | a book, and my deep love only for you. |
| 아름다운 그대를 만난 건 | areumdaun geudaereul mannan geon | Meeting someone as beautiful as you |
| 하느님께 감사드릴 우연 | haneunimkke gamsadeuril uyeon | is a coincidence I thank God for. |
| 작은 내 맘 알아주는 그대가 있기에 | jageun nae mam arajuneun geudaega itgie | Because you’re there, understanding my small heart, |
| 이 세상이 난 행복해 | i sesangi nan haengbokhae | this world is a happy place for me. |
