당연한것들 (The Things We Took for Granted) – 이적 (Lee Juck) Korean Lyrics & English Translation

This song blows up a lot after being performed by child actors (Kim Kang Hoon – When the Camellia Blooms, Jung Hyun Joon – Parasite, Kim Gyu Ri – Hotel Del Luna, Choi Yu Ri, – Itaewon Class, Kim Joon – Hospital Playlist) during Baeksang 56th Arts Awards 2020 on June 5th 2020. It was composed by singer-songwriter Lee Juck through his SNS and has yet to be released digitally. This song was specifically created to call for hope amidst the covid-19 pandemic hassles we have been through this year.

I’m sharing the Korean lyrics including the English translation, pardon me for any translation error.

당연한것들 – 이적

VERSE 1

그때는알지 못했죠 우리가 무얼 누리는지

There’s no way we would forget that time, and every little thing we had shared

거릴 걷고 친굴 만나고 손을 잡고 껴안아 주던 것

Walking down the road, meeting up with friends, holding hands and giving a big hug

우리에게 너무 당연한것들

Those things that we took for granted

VERSE 2

처음엔 쉽게여겠죠 금세 또 지나갈거라고

It was seemingly convenient at first, it would pass in a blink of eyes

봄이 오고 하늘빛 나고 꽃이 피고 바람 살랑이면은

Spring is coming, the blue sky is as clear as crystal, flowers are blooming and the wind is soothingly blowing

우린 다시 돌아갈 수 있다고

We will surely be able to relive those moments

CHORUS

우리가 살아왔던 평범한 나날들이 다

The days we were living through, that feel rather ordinary

얼마나 소중한지 알아버렸죠

Now we realize how precious they were

당연히 끌어안고 당연히 사랑하던 날

The day when we will be able to embrace and love one another

다시 돌아올때까지 우리 힘껏 웃어요

Until that day comes, let’s do the best to put a smile on our face

VERSE 3

잊지는 않았잖아요 간절히 기다리잖아요

There’s no forgetting, we are only desperately waiting

서로 믿고 함께 나누고 마주보며 같이 노래를 하던

Putting trust in one another and sharing the burdens as we sang a song while looking at one another

우리에겐 너무 당연한것들

Those things that we took for granted

CHORUS

우리가 살아왔던 평범한 나날들이 다

The days we were living through, that feel rather ordinary

얼마나 소중한지 알아버렸죠

Now we realize how precious they were

당연히 끌어안고 당연히 사랑하던 날

The day when we will be able to embrace and love one another

다시 돌아올거예요 우리 힘껏 웃어요

That day will surely come, so let’s do the best to put a smile on our face
