You’ve let go of my hand and now you’re dreaming a different dream, reaching for happiness that’s higher up. Our once peaceful relationship feels distant now.

It feels like a whirlwind has swallowed you up, leaving me unable to sleep through the night.

Without you, I’m afraid I’ll lose my way alone. I’m worried I’ll just be crying, unable to speak. Even if I turn back the hands of time and change the world, my heart that holds you won’t change.

My love, my sky, my Dorothy, it’s time to end this unfamiliar journey. Before the memories that felt like a dream fade away, let my tears bring you back to me.

I can’t believe in impossible wishes, but I know you better than anyone. If I could cast a spell with love, I would.

Gathering all the strength in my heart, I’ll fly to wherever you are, I’ll come to get you.

Without fear, I’m worried you’ll disappear far away. I’m afraid you’ll forget me without realizing it. If I wake up from this long sleep and look back, those dazzling days might vanish.

My love, my sky, my Dorothy, it’s time to end this unfamiliar journey, those memories that felt like a dream.

Before they fade away, let my tears bring you back to me. If you can’t come, I’ll go instead.
ttang-kkeut-i-ra-do kkok cha-ja-nael-ge-yo
Even if it’s the end of the earth, I’ll surely find you.

Baby, my love, my wish, my Dorothy, with the courage to leave, I become more greedy.
