Day By Day is the third track on Joy's debut mini-album "Hello". It is a remake of the song Day By Day, originally released in 1999 by the female duo As One.
[Verse 1: Joy]
조심스레 다가오는 널
joshimseure dagaoneun neol
The day I first got to know you
처음으로 알게 됐던 날
cheoeumeuro alge dwaetteon nal
Who carefully approach me
기쁨 대신 한숨에
gippeum daeshin hansume
Instead of joy,
며칠 밤을 새웠었지
myeochil bameul saeweosseotji
I spent many nights with deep sighs
아주 오래 걸릴지 몰라
aju orae geollilji molla
It might take a while
누군가 받아들이긴
nugunga badadeurigin
Will you understand me?
아직 부족한 날
ajik bujokan nal
I’m still not ready
알아주겠니
arajugenni
To accept someone else
[Pre-chorus]
너무 소중했던 사람이
neomu sojunghaetteon sarami
Since my precious love
떠나버린 후로
tteonabeorin huro
Is gone
사랑할 수 없다고
saranghal su eopttago
I thought that
난 믿어왔는데
nan mideowanneunde
I would never love again
나의 상처까지도
naye sangcheokkajido
This is for you who
안아주는 널 위해
anajuneun neol wihae
Will embrace even my wounds
[Chorus]
매일 조금씩 보여줄게
maeil jogeumsshik boyeojulkke
I will show you little by little each day
내일 조금 더 친해질 거야
naeil jogeum deo chinhaejil kkeoya
Tomorrow, we will become a bit close
지금 내 모습 이대로는
jigeum nae moseup idaeroneun
My current state
너를 사랑하긴 모자라
neoreul saranghagin mojara
Isn’t enough to love you
나의 마음 모두 너에게
naye maeum modu neoyege
So that I can give you
내어 줄 수 있도록
naeeo jul su ittorok
All of my heart
준비하는 날
junbihaneun nal
Will you wait for me
기다려주겠니
gidaryeojugenni
As I get ready?
[Verse 2]
다시 너를 잃지 않을까
dashi neoreul ilchi aneulkka
Fearful thought of
두려운 생각이 앞서
duryeoun saenggagi apseo
Losing you keep going forward
선뜻 너에게
seontteut neoyege
So I can't
다가설 수 없고
dagaseol su eopgo
Clearly approach you
[Pre-chorus]
떠난 그의 생각 때문에
tteonan geuye saenggak ttaemune
There are still many tears
아직 눈물 많아
ajik nunmul mana
For the love that left
니 앞에서 운 적도
ni apeseo un jeokdo
You have witnessed
난 많았었는데
nan manasseonneunde
My tears many times
그런 나의 눈물도
geureon naye nunmuldo
This is to you
닦아주는 널 위해
dakkajuneun neol wihae
Who wiped away my tears, day by day
[Chorus]
매일 조금씩 보여줄게
maeil jogeumsshik boyeojulkke
I will show you little by little each day
내일 조금 더 친해질 거야
naeil jogeum deo chinhaejil kkeoya
Tomorrow, we will become a bit close
지금 내 모습 이대로는
jigeum nae moseup idaeroneun
My current state
너를 사랑하긴 모자라
neoreul saranghagin mojara
Isn’t enough to love you
나의 마음 모두 너에게
naye maeum modu neoyege
So that I can give you
내어 줄 수 있도록
naeeo jul su ittorok
All of my heart
준비하는 날
junbihaneun nal
Will you wait for me
기다려주겠니
gidaryeojugenni
As I get ready?
[Bridge]
다만 이것만은 기억해
daman igeonmaneun gieokae
Just remember this one thing
많이 힘들던 날들에
mani himdeuldeon naldeure
On days that were really hard
지친 내 맘 열어준 사랑
jichin nae mam yeoreojun sarang
You were the only one
너 하나였다는 걸
neo hanayeottaneun geol
Who opened my exhausted heart
[Chorus]
너의 커다란 사랑만큼
neoye keodaran sarangmankeum
As much as your big love
아니 그보다 잘해줄 거야
ani geuboda jalhaejul kkeoya
No, more than that, I will treat you well
지금 니 모습 그대로만
jigeum ni moseup geudaeroman
Just comfortably watch over me
그냥 편안히 날 지켜봐
geunyang pyeonanhi nal jikyeobwa
As you are right now
고이 아껴둔 내 사랑이
goi akkyeodun nae sarangi
The day when my saved up love
네게 전해지는 날
nege jeonhaejineun nal
Will be expressed to you
그때 말할게 널 사랑한다고
geuttae malhalkke neol saranghandago
Then I will tell you that I love you
준비하는 날 기다려주겠니
junbihaneun nal gidaryeojugenni
Will you wait for me as I get ready?
I need your love
