물수제비 Skipping Stones

It was in the car on a jammed roadway home when I paid attention to the lyrics for the first time. I was quite tired at the end of the day. The lyric ‘The water swallowed the scar will become calm someday.’ hit me hard that day. Yes, the scars I’ve got will finally sink in me, and I’ll become stable and calm eventually. It soothed me, gave me some strength to walk through what I’m experiencing.
I guess singer-songwriter HANRORO wrote the lyrics because she’s famous for her poetic lyrics? I’d like to thank her too for this touching song.

우린 잔잔한 강물에
모난 돌 던지기를 사랑해
Over the calm river
We love throwing jagged stones

아픈 시간일 걸 알아
We know it’ll hurt

그럼에도 다른 돌을 쥐네
But still, we pick up another one

너는 어떤 마음으로
I want to know what you’re feeling

너를 던지는 건지 궁금해
When you throw yourself

숱한 감정들이 네 호수를 채워 가는데
So many emotions are filling up your lake

상처를 집어삼킨 물은 언젠가 잠잠해져
The water that swallowed the scars will become calm someday

넓은 품을 갖게 될 테니
And it will have a wide embrace

손끝에 뭉근히 맺힌 미련을 던져
Throw the regrets steadily formed on your fingertip

늘 그랬듯 늘 그래 왔듯이
As always, the way you always have

늘 그랬듯 늘 그래 왔듯이
As always, the way you always have

늘 그랬듯 늘 그래 왔듯이
As always, the way you always have

매일 요동치는 마음
Rocketing hearts everyday

속엔 가라앉은 아픔들만
The inside are only sinking pains

그럼에도 숨을 뱉는 너와 난
Still, you and I breathe out

저 바다를 향해 가는데
Going toward the sea

상처를 집어삼킨 물은 언젠가 잠잠해져
The water that swallowed the scars will become calm someday

넓은 품을 갖게 될 테니
And it will have a wide embrace

손끝에 뭉근히 맺힌 미련을 던져
Throw the regrets steadily formed on your fingertip

늘 그랬듯 늘 그래 왔듯이
As always, the way you always have

벅차오르는 오늘의 널
Today’s overwhelmed you

내일의 내가 안을 수 있게
So that I can hug you tomorrow

반짝이는 물결 위 닿을 때
When you touch down the glittering wave

떨려오는 두 손 잡아 줄게
I’ll hold your trembling hands

상처를 집어삼킨 물은 언젠가 잠잠해져
The water that swallowed the scars will become calm someday

넓은 품을 갖게 될 테니
And it will have a wide embrace

손끝에 뭉근히 맺힌 미련을 던져
Throw the regrets steadily formed on your fingertip

늘 그랬듯 늘 그래 왔듯이
As always, the way you always have

늘 그랬듯 늘 그래 왔듯이
As always, the way you always have

늘 그랬듯 늘 그래 왔듯이
As always, the way you always have
