[Lyrics]
Korean (한국어)
강물은 흘러가네, 멈추지 않고
흐릿한 달빛 속에, 추억을 안고
지나온 시간들, 사라진 꿈들도
강물 따라 멀리멀리 사라지네

그리움이 물결이 되어
끝없이 퍼지는 한강의 노래
희미한 별빛 속에 담긴
우리의 이야기, 우리의 한숨

바람은 속삭이네, 잃어버린 이름들
모래 위 발자국은 흔적도 없이
그러나 강은 기억하네, 우리 모두의
눈물과 웃음을, 흘러가는 강물 속에

강물 따라 흘러가는 삶의 조각들
시간이 멈춘 듯, 다시 시작되네
우리의 마음에 새겨진 그 흐름
한강이여, 영원히 흘러가라

그리움이 물결이 되어
끝없이 퍼지는 한강의 노래
희미한 별빛 속에 담긴
우리의 이야기, 우리의 한숨

한강아, 네 품속에 안겨
나의 기억을 영원히 남기리라
흘러가는 그 길 위에서
우린 다시 만나리라

English Translation
The river flows, never stopping,
Under the dim moonlight, carrying memories.
The times we’ve passed, the dreams we’ve lost,
Drift far away, carried by the river.

Longing becomes waves,
Spreading endlessly, the song of the Han River.
In the faint starlight lies,
Our story, our sighs.

The breeze whispers, of names forgotten,
Footprints on the sand vanish without a trace.
But the river remembers all of us,
Our tears and laughter, flowing within its waters.

Fragments of life drift along the river,
As if time has stopped, only to begin again.
The flow engraved in our hearts,
Han River, flow forever.

Longing becomes waves,
Spreading endlessly, the song of the Han River.
In the faint starlight lies,
Our story, our sighs.

Han River, cradle me in your arms,
And leave my memories forever.
On the path where the river flows,
We shall meet again.
