The song that she has penned and composed is about a woman’s inner thoughts and feelings about coping with pain of love that she has experienced. She was in love with a man whom she knows will leave her yet she still yearn for him. Then, she knows she might fall for someone new but she might have fear about not being loved as soon as love starts and she will be fearful of separation. Thanks to awesome Han Ahreum for her “heart”work in translating this song. Kamsahnida!!! Lyrics below…

A Woman Like Me
Written & Composed by Hwayobi
Translated by Han Ahreum

매력 있다는 말 참 괜찮다는 말
Words that I am attractive, words that I am so nice (a man saying to a woman)
집이 어디냔 말 듣기엔 좋은 말
A word where do I live, words nice to hear
내 얘기 아니야 다 장난일 거야
It’s not about me, it might be just for fun
사랑이 와도 버릇처럼 밀어내는 걸
even though love comes, I push it away like a habit
새벽 두 시 모르는 전화가 왔을 때
A unknown phone call at 2am
달려가지 않아 깨어나지 않아 네가 아닌 걸
I don’t run to it. It’s not you
이유 없이 또 마시고
Without any reason I drink
두근대는 가슴만 꼭 너를 기억해
Only my beating heart exactly remembers you

나 같은 여자는
A woman like me
눈물이 많아서 상처도 많아서
Is easily moved to tears, have many hurts
모두 떠나가게 만들고
which makes people to leave

나 같은 여자는
a woman like me
머리도 나빠서 밀고 당기는 그 사랑 하나 못해
is (am?) too stupid to play love games
받는 것조차 너무 어려워
even being loved is difficult

다칠 걸 알면서 떠날 걸 알면서
I know I’ll be hurt, I know he(you)’ll be leaving
왜 손을 대는지 왜 맘이 가는지
Even so why am I touching you, why is my heart attracted to you
눈물이 말라서 아픈지도 몰라
Tears are dry so I don’t feel any pain
이렇게 살다 사랑하는 법도 잊겠어
If I keep living like this, I would forget the way to love

네가 없이 한동안 편하고 좋았어
Without you it was comfortable for a while
혼자인 게 좋아 친구가 더 좋아 그냥 살았어
Because I liked to be alone I loved friends more, I stayed that way
새로운 사람 만나면
If I meet a new one
미친 듯이 사랑할 자신도 있었어
I am confident I could be madly in love

나 같은 여자는
A woman like me
눈물이 많아서 상처도 많아서
is easily moved to tears, have many hurts
모두 떠나가게 만들고
which makes people to leave

나 같은 여자는
a woman like me
머리도 나빠서 밀고 당기는 그 사랑 하나 못해
is too stupid to play love games
받는 것조차 너무 어려워
even being loved is difficult

사랑이 우스웠고 이별도 잘하던
love was easy and seperating was nothing for me
내가 이렇게 무너져가
but now I am crashing down
나 같은 여자는
잘난 게 없어서 눈치도 없어서
has nothing to show off, is lack of sense (is insensitive/tactless)
먼저 다가서지 못하고
can’t approach a person first (make the first move to a person)

나 같은 여자는
a woman like me
잘할 수 있는데 시작만 하면 내가 또 싫어질까
can do well, but fears to be not loved when love starts
언제 또 헤어질까 두려워
and fears to be separated anytime
