Umbrella by Oosan (ft. Younha)

I. Sounds of the clock in an barren room

The noise of the rain on the roof and my lips

Inside the pocket of the coat I rarely wear

is the ring along with the overwhelming memory

I haven’t seen the city in a few days

The gathered rain are like little mirrors

I struggle within them because of the pain

Because without you I’m a chair with a short leg

The umbrella was too small for the both of us

but the umbrella shielded us from the cold world

Now it seems much to big and awkward.

Umbrella by Oosan (ft. Younha)

chorus

You were the umbrella above my head

In the night where the cold rain fell above my shoulders

You being by my side was a habit

I can’t be without you

alone in the rain

Umbrella by Oosan (ft. Younha)

II. The ground has gathered the tears of the sky

I can see the moon behind the clouds that block the stars

The sound of lonely shoes echo down the alley

I turn around-

Its just heart wrenching night

A shadow that looks just like me

The two of us that couldn’t see “us”

Are we now two people?

The answer is so lonely
