Objective: to return (home)
Bonus vocabulary: day by day, like this, tears, waiting
Let’s focus on the first line of the chorus which begins at 0.56: 돌아와줘 하루하루 이렇게 torawajo haruharu iroke
to return (home) = 돌아와다 torowada
day by day = 하루하루 haruharu
like this, in this way = 이렇게 iroke
The verb to return home, 돌아와다, features in many K-pop songs so you can get plenty more practice with it. For example:
Infinite’s debut song To-Ra-Wa has it as the chorus.
In Teentop’s track Crazy you can hear Chunji say it at 2:38
Torawajo is also the title of a guitar track by g.o.d that reminds me of Extreme’s More than Words
Day by day, 하루하루, is also a 2008 track by BigBang.
Bonus vocabulary
tears = 눈물 nunmul
