Sogyeokdong
The narrow alley stairs that you and I used to walk
I now walk alone
The thick fragrance of the past
Passes me by
The day that you left, actually I...
With the icicles under roofs and the song of sparrows
I will live in this beautiful village
Do you remember Sogyeokdong
Even now it's the same
White snow fell one late night
Whiteness piled up, and my heart fluttered
That night, I couldn't sleep for a moment
(You) can't fall asleep
(As) you open your eyes, it will disappear
One day, the overflowing creek suddenly dried up
My young heart too, like that stream, will dry up
Your everything is closed in your two eyes
The simple days, the days that were enough
They say that the world was turned around one day
Everyone holds on tight
In a flash, it will disappear
I didn't want to forget, but to me
There isn't one picture that remains
So as I turn back, as I turn back
I am only trying my best to
White snow fell one late night
Whiteness piled up, and my heart fluttered
That night, I couldn't sleep for a moment
(You) can't fall asleep
(As) you open your eyes, it will disappear

(You) - a subject is not specified, so this could easily be (We), (I), etc. Poetically ambiguous.
(As) - the (면/myeon) part of (뜨면/ddeumyeon) approximates to either (As), (If), or (When). In Korean, (면) encompasses all these implications, but in English, the meaning varies between words.
