RIIZE “Hug” Lyrics

Hangul

하나 둘 셋 넷

하루만 네 방의 침대가
되고 싶어 Oh baby
더 따스히 포근히 내 품에
감싸 안고 재우고 싶어
아주 작은 뒤척임도
너의 조그만 속삭임에
난 꿈속의 괴물도
이겨내 버릴 텐데

내가 없는 너의 하룬
어떻게 흘러가는 건지
나를 얼마나 사랑하는지
난 너무나 궁금한데
너의 작은 서랍 속의
일기장이 되고 싶어
알 수 없는 너의 그 비밀도
내 맘속에 담아둘래 너 몰래

하루만 너의 고양이가
되고 싶어 Oh baby
네가 주는 맛있는 우유와
부드러운 네 품 안에서
움직이는 장난에도
너의 귀여운 입맞춤에
나도 몰래 질투를 느끼고 있었나 봐

내 마음이 이런 거야
너밖엔 볼 수 없는 거지
누구를 봐도 어디 있어도
난 너만 바라보잖아
단 하루만 아주 친한
너의 애인이 되고 싶어
너의 자랑도 때론 투정도
다 들을 수 있을 텐데 널 위해

In my heart in my soul
나에게 사랑이란
아직 어색하지만 Uh uh babe
이 세상 모든 걸
너에게 주고 싶어
꿈에서라도

내 마음이 이런 거야
지켜볼 수만 있어도
너무 감사해 많이 행복해
나 조금은 부족해도
언제까지 너의 곁에 (너의 곁에)
연인으로 있고 싶어
너를 내 품에 가득 안은 채
(너를 내 품에 가득 안은 채)
굳어버렸으면 싶어 영원히

Translation

One, two, three, four

Wanna be the bed in your room
just for one day, Oh baby
Wanna wrap you up in my arms
and give a warmer, cozier sleep
Even your smallest toss,
your littlest murmur,
Will unleash me to get
those monsters off in your dreams

What happens in the days
I’m not there?
Wanna know so bad
how much you love me
Wanna be the diary
tucked away in the little drawer
Your unknowable secrets,
secretly stolen by my heart

Wanna be your cat
just for one day, Oh baby
Tasty bowl of milk
while in your warm cuddles
Your adorable kisses even
with my playful moves
I must’ve been secretly jealous

This is how my heart
is — I see only you
No matter who I see, where I am,
my eyes are only for you
Wanna be your best friend and lover,
if only for a day
For you I could listen to all the stories,
the wins, the occasional pity parties

In my heart in my soul,
love for me is
Still an awkward fit, Uh uh babe
But I wanna give you
everything in this world
Even in my dreams

This is how my heart
is — if I can just watch over you
So grateful I’ll be, full of happiness
I may not be everything you wanted
But I wanna be your lover (wanna be your lover)
forever by your side
With my arms full with all that you are
(With my arms full with all that you are)
Wanna freeze this moment for eternity
