Drooping Snail (Yoo Jae Suk & Lee Juck) – As One Says (말하는 대로)

When I was twenty years old
After I endured through a day
When I anxiously lay down to sleep

I would worry,
What do I do tomorrow?
What do I do tomorrow?

Even when I closed my two eyes
I just couldn’t fall asleep
And just when I’d get so frustrated that it hurt

I deeply pondered
Why can’t I?
Why can’t I succeed?

Doing as one says
Doing as one says
I did not believe that things could happen as one says
I could not believe it

Doing as one determines
Doing as one thinks
Seemed like a lie
I hung my head down low

But then one day
In my heart, a small but amazing realization was found
And I got to dream
What would I do tomorrow
What would I do tomorrow?

To be honest, I never ran crazily toward something
And I thought about this
And I set myself up on my feet

Doing as one says
Doing as one says
The moment I saw that this was possible
I decided to believe it

Doing as one determines
Doing as one thinks
The moment I knew that I could do this
I nodded my head

Doing as one determines
Doing as one thinks
Doing as one says
I did not know that this was possible
Back then I did not know
Now those hard times, my twenties
Will never come again, can never go back
People around me told me many things like
Don’t stop, don’t fall down, just look ahead and run, walk your path
But the thing I had to listen to the most was
The small story in my heart
The story that is in my heart right now
As one says

Doing as one says
Doing as one says
If you believe that this is possible

Doing as one determines (doing as I determined)
Doing as one thinks (doing as you think)
The challenge is infinitly,life is eternally:
Doing as one says
Doing as one says
Doing as one says

Hoping to be a bridge between k-pop music & k-pop fans who don't understand the Korean language.

  1. This song makes me sad. It is exactly how I am feeling right now. The lyrics portrays my worries and thoughts. I wonder if I will ever do something worthy in my life. People always says that you need not worry, you’re still young, just believe in yourself, you can do it, it will come to you, but it’s hard for me to believe it. I am now 19 and I have no goal in life and I want things that are unachievable. Will my life be as bland as the life lead by adults around me? Will my life be any different? Should I just let go of all the things that I dreamt off? Maybe I should. It is after all just a dream.
    It pains me to think that. People may say that I am still early in the game and I will make a name for myself one day but I highly doubt that. I’ll end up with a 9 to 5 job and living the same routine everyday. Maybe I’ll marry one day and have kids and ponder on all the things that might happen if only…
