Lyrics (romanization & translation)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.
참을 수가 없도록
이 가슴이 아파도
(Chameul-sooga Eop-dorok
Yi Gaseum-i Apado)

Too poignant to endure
has my heartbreak been.


여자이기 때문에
말 한마디 못하고
(Yeoja-igi Taemoone
Mal Hanmadi Mothago)

But, because I am a woman,
I am not allowed to say a word.


헤아릴 수 없는 설움
혼자 지닌 채
(Hee-a-ril-soo Eopneun Seoroom
Honja Jinin Chae)

Folding inside so many sorrows
for myself,


고달픈 인생길을
허덕이면서
(Kodalpeun Ihnsaeng Kireul
Heodeok-imyeonseo)

I have struggled
on the bumpy road of a life.


아 참아야 한다기에
(Aah~ Chamaya Handakie)

O! I am urged to endure it.


눈물로 보냅니다
여자의 일생
(Noonmool-lo Bonaep-nida
Yeoja-eui Yilsaeng)

So, languishing with tears,
I spend a woman's life.




2.
견딜 수가 없도록
외로워도 슬퍼도
(Kyeondil-sooga Eop-dorok
Oero-woedo Seulpeodo)

Too hard to endure
have my loneliness and sorrow been.


여자이기 때문에
참아야만 한다고
(Yeoja-igi Taemoone
Chama-yaman Handago)

But, because I am a woman,
I have to endure them.


내 스스로 내 마음을
달래어 가며
(Nae Seuseuro Nae Maeumeul
Dallae-eo Kamyeo)

Like that, solacing my mind
for myself,


비탈진 인생길을
허덕이면서
(Bitaljin Ihnsaeng Kireol
Heodeok-imyeonseo)

I have struggled
on the tilted road of a life.


아 참아야 한다기에
Aah~ Chamaya Handakie)

O! I am urged to endure it.


눈물로 보냅니다
여자의 일생
(Noonmool-lo Bonaep-nida
Yeoja-eui Yilsaeng)

So, languishing with tears,
I spend a woman's life.
