[Korean:]

엄마가 필요해
엄마 엄마
누군가 필요해
엄마가 있어도
엄마가 필요해
근데 엄마도 엄마가 필요해

지금의 나만큼 엄마도
힘이 있었던 그때
세상 가장 사랑스러운 목소리로
내 이름을 불러주던
날 안아주던
천사보다 천사 같은

엄마가 필요해
엄마 엄마
누군가 필요해
엄마가 있어도
엄마가 필요해
근데 엄마도 엄마가 필요해

필요 없는 것들을 사고
있는지도 모르고
의미 없는 누굴 만나고
헤어지고
쌓인 내 맘 구석
먼지들 함께 털어줄
천사보다 천사 같은

다음 생에도 엄마 딸로
태어나달라고 했지
싫어
내가 엄마의 엄마가 되어줄게
엄마가 그랬던 것처럼
전부를 다해 사랑해 줄게
사랑해 줄게

엄마가 필요해

[English translation:]

I need you, mother
Mother, mother
I need someone
Even though you're here
I need you, mother
But a mother also needs her mother

Back when you were
As lively as I am
You used to called on me
With the sweetest voice
As you hugged me tight
More angelic than an angel

I need my mother
Mother, mother
I need someone
Even though you're here
I need you, mother
But a mother also needs her mother

No one to tell me to stop buying useless things
Buying things I already have
Spending meaningless time
Only to part ways with meaningless people
Someone to clear the dust
That's piled in the corner of my heart
More angelic that's an angel
You asked me to be your daughter again in the next life
But no

Let me be your mother
I would give you everything
Just as you had done for me
I'd love you with all of my heart
I'll give you all my love

I need you, mother
