Jo Gaeul – What Matters (중요한 건) Lyrics (See You At Work Tomorrow! OST Part.7)

“What Matters” by Jo Gaeul with English Translation and Terjemahan Indonesia
See You At Work Tomorrow! OST Part.7

Blending a warm band sound with sincere lyrics, ‘What Matters’ is a pop-rock track that captures the significance of a precious presence staying by one’s side, even during moments of questioning life’s direction. A simply unfolding melody pairs with a steady instrumental performance to deliver small comforts and hope within daily life. In particular, Jo Gaeul’s warm and genuine vocals naturally guide the song’s message, delicately expressing a wavering heart alongside the courage to move forward again. The sound, which powerfully expands toward the end, deeply conveys the value of the person beside us, leaving a gentle, lingering impression

Hangul

지금 여기 내가 서 있는
이 자리가 어디쯤인지
뛰는 가슴 내가 달리는
발걸음이 어디로 가는지
아무도 말해주지 않겠지

중요한 건 내가 서 있는
다행인 건 이 옆자리에
너라는 사람이 함께 있다는 거
나에게 다가와
조금 더 해볼 수가 있겠다는 거

가도 가도 보이지 않고
끝이 없는 이 길 위에
지금 내가 달리는 이유
대체 어디서 찾아야 할까

아무도 말해주지 않겠지
다시 일어설 수 있는 명분
누구에게 달래야 할 수 있을까

그것이 나에겐 햇살이야
그것이 나에게 생명이야
그것이 나에겐 휴일이고
한 잔의 술이야
내게 중요한 건

그것이 나에겐 호흡이야
그것이 나에게 영양이야
내게 중요한 건
내가 서 있는 이 옆자리에
너라는 사람이 함께 있어주는 거
내게 중요한 건

English Translation

Right here is where I’m standing
Where exactly is this, anyway?
My heart is pounding, and these footsteps
I’m taking, where are they leading me?
I’m sure no one will ever know

But what matters most is where I’m standing right now
and luckily, by my side
there’s someone like you keeping me company
You come closer to me
Making me feel like I can try a little harder

Even as I keep walking, it remains unseen
On this seemingly endless road,
the reason why I’m running right now
where exactly should I look for it?

No one will ever tell me
The reason to get back up again
who should I turn to for comfort?

For me, it’s the sunlight
For me, it’s life itself
For me, it’s a day off
and a glass of something to drink
what matters most to me

For me, it’s a breath of air
For me, it’s sustenance
What matters most to me
Is you, who’s always there
keeping me company right where I stand
what matters most to me

Terjemahan Indonesia

Sekarang di sini tempat aku berdiri
Sebenarnya ini ada di mana?
Dada yang berdebar dan langkah kaki
yang kutempuh ini mau menuju ke mana?
Pasti tidak akan ada yang mengetahuinya

Tapi yang terpenting adalah tempat aku berdiri saat ini
dan untungnya, di sisiku
ada orang sepertimu yang menemani
Kau datang mendekat padaku
Membuatku merasa bisa mencobanya sedikit lagi

Meski terus berjalan, tetap tak terlihat
Di atas jalanan yang seolah tak ada ujungnya ini
alasan kenapa aku berlari saat ini,
sebenarnya di mana aku harus mencarinya?

Pasti tak akan ada yang memberi tahu
Alasan untuk bisa bangkit kembali,
kepada siapa aku harus meminta hiburan?

Bagiku, itu adalah sinar matahari
Bagiku, itu adalah sebuah kehidupan
Bagiku, itu adalah hari libur
dan segelas minuman
yang terpenting bagiku

Bagiku, itu adalah hembusan napas
Bagiku, itu adalah sebuah asupan
Yang terpenting bagiku
Adalah kamu yang selalu ada
menemaniku di sisi tempatku berdiri ini
yang terpenting bagiku
