That summer long gone, at the beach, I met her
Her long black hair flowed down to her waist
Without weighing or comparing anything, I just fell for her completely
Yes, yes, I completely fell in love
That summer long gone, at the beach, I met her—dazzling like a dream
I couldn’t believe it, such a beautiful woman—what a blessing she was to me
On the white sand where stars poured down, we were so happy
Autumn and winter passed, and I couldn’t see you anymore—where are you?
Please come back—if summer comes without you, what will I do?
We met at that beach, and then parted with regret
Returning to Seoul felt slower than years passing
But when I came back to Seoul, I couldn’t find you
Like a mad person, through autumn and winter
I wandered all day long searching for you
When summer comes again, what am I supposed to do?
Where did you go, leaving me alone?
I can’t believe it—where are you? I’m still waiting for you
Like the white waves, you whispered you’d love me forever
Ya-ya-i-ya-ya-ya
My friends, trying to comfort me,
brought me back to that sea again
Like thunder from a clear sky,
she appeared before me
Wearing the sunglasses and necklace I’d given her—just the same
The only difference was… she was with my friend
I heard the sound of the sky collapsing
I met the woman I’d been waiting for
At the beach where we once parted, I saw you again
Standing before her with my friend,
I couldn’t say a single word
I couldn’t believe it—yet I could do nothing
This kind of reunion—this isn’t right—someone tell me
That she’s still searching for me with love in her heart
My clueless friend, not knowing she was the one,
started rambling on about my summer love story
With her head bowed, she burst into tears
I cried too, the sky cried too—ah, how sad—la la la la la hey
La la la la la hey, la la la la la la la la hey hey
