Desire and Hope

English translation:

Seung Gi: From this moment on for the next two songs, I’d like you to think that you’re not with me in the Budokan, but with me in my room. Just think that I’m in front of you and focus. You can close your eyes and listen if you’d like. I hope that you’ll be able to feel every sound of my breath.  I will perform Desire and Hope. (in Korean)

Thank you (in Japanese)

Lyrics:

Still unable to love, I know your weary heart all too well
Without change, I watched over you
But your past love
Is the only thing living in there

I want you and resent you
The person who makes my short time drag on
I don’t want to know your hurt words about the past

Even when you’re clearly smiling
I get the feeling that your heart is crying
And though I want to end that
I don’t want my heart to be discovered in this state

I want you and resent you
The kind of person who makes my short time drag on
I don’t want to know your hurt words
About the past

I guess I need your seat empty,
Regardless of who needs it
So that it can be the place where you rest
I have so much selfishness

I want you and wait for you
The kind of person who comes and makes me regret tomorrow
I’ll speak about my heart in this state by myself
I love you so much
