In the cold dawn air
I open my eyes unknowingly
I'm already too used
To this city's harmony
Even if my childhood is distant
And (the city) is full of buildings and cars
This is my home now

Seoul, Seoul
Why is your pronunciation the same as 'soul'?
What soul do you have?
Whatever it is,
It keeps me at your side
I don't even have any memories of you
I'm so bored of you now
Your ash-gray expressions, the same every day
No, no, I'm afraid of myself
For having become you

If love and hate are the same word I love you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I hate you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I love you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I hate you Seoul

The bus where the scenery changes even when I stay still
And the buildings that are the same, just barely different
The scent of life that's at once repulsive and not, and
The cold parks pretending to be warm
The people who always must wander and
The river carrying too much han and
Those who can't see the sky on their own
Those are
The ones who are too late

My friends easily say they're getting out
I try to nod but I can't smile
I don't like to admit it, but
I already love your hatred
And your disgustingness
I love the smell of Cheonggyecheon
I love the loneliness of Seonyudo
Even the sigh of the taxi driver
Who told me life would be good soon
I love you

If love and hate are the same word I love you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I hate you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I love you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I hate you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I love you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I hate you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I love you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I hate you Seoul

I'm leavin' you, I'm livin' you
I'm leavin' you, I'm livin' you
I'm leavin' you, I'm livin' you
I'm leavin' you, I'm livin' you
Seoul

If love and hate are the same word I love you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I hate you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I love you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I hate you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I love you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I hate you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I love you Seoul
If love and hate are the same word I hate you Seoul

Seoul
I love you Seoul
I hate you Seoul
I love you Seoul
I hate you Seoul
