☆ Hometown-i11evn

dedicated
to people who had to struggle
figuring out where they came from
who had to experience
the worst changes in their life
and all the mothers
it’s for you
흰 피부색과 금발
그 사이에 혼자 까만머리
찢어진 눈 짧은 다리로
어울려 살다보니
나조차 모르게
익숙해진 외국이란 땅
이제는 나처럼 생긴
사람들이 더 외국인같아
엄만 날 만들었지만
내 기억 속에 없어
날 버리고 모른척 한
사실만이 날 덮쳤어
버려졌어 당신 손으로
나를 부정했지
그 생각 들때마다
혼자 숨어 울곤했지
난 뿌리가 잘린 나무 세상은
나같은 사람이 많다
말하지만 몰라 그 불행함은
내 부류들은 쉽게 팔을 긋고 목을 매
어린 시절의 악몽에
눈물범벅으로 꿈을 깨
내 정체성을 잃은 채
방황해야 했어 많은 날을
얼굴도 모르는 당신을
다시 만나는 날을
태어났을때 느꼈을
그 품속의 포근함을
당신도 그리워할까 이런 나를
I’ll fly all the way
across the sky to see you there
where I was found
found wandering around
you’re my hometown
town only in my mind
Memories blacked out
it doesn’t matter
ain’t gonna back down
it’s now or never
soon i’ll be down
going down from the clouds
see you on the ground
you’re my hometown
sometimes i look into myself
staring at the mirror
trying to find your face that’s
how much i needed your appearance
but you never came not even
in my imagination
in my small world I was
the only isolated Asian
and that got me this feelin’
i would never blend in anywhere
very scared like a little girl
without her teddy bear
shedding tears making sure
nobody was around or near
but everytime i had that moment
i felt like you were there
sittin’ by my side close
with your arms around me
you were like the night sky
all the stars around me
and as I fell asleep
the monsters were gone
it was calm no nightmares
but songs that were caused
by the breeze sweeping
on the wheat field i was lying on
just gently touchin’ on
my wound eyes closed and drying off
healing me softly got me brave
like the break of dawn
wonder if you miss me like
i do my dear mama
I’ll fly all the way
across the sky to see you there
where I was found
found wandering around
you’re my hometown
town only in my mind
Memories blacked out
it doesn’t matter
ain’t gonna back down
it’s now or never
soon i’ll be down
going down from the clouds
see you on the ground
you’re my hometown
Now i’m grown up strong enough
to make my own decisions
but it took a pretty long time
for me to make a visit
I was born here and found here
Seoul South Korea
all these people having
my looks I feel my area
내가 왔어 여기까지 원망은 안해
엄만 여기 있을까
나와 같은 하늘 아래
당신은 내게 세상이란
문을 열어준 사람
날 보내며 그대
죄책감도 컸을걸 알아
I forgive you so please
알아봐주길
꿈속에서 그랬듯이
다시 날 안아주길
세상이 그댈 뭐라든
내겐 단 하나뿐인
그댄 날 낳아주신
내 엄마 내 출신
I’ll fly all the way
across the sky to see you there
where I was found
found wandering around
you’re my hometown
town only in my mind
Memories blacked out
it doesn’t matter
ain’t gonna back down
it’s now or never
soon i’ll be down
going down from the clouds
see you on the ground
you’re my hometown
