Uploaded on Mar 10, 2026
염라 (Karma) Lyrics English Translation by YOUNHA (윤하) is a haunting Korean ballad from her first remake album SUB CHARACTER, released on March 9, 2026. This title track reimagines the original by 달의하루 with YOUNHA's signature ethereal vocals and production, exploring themes of fear of being forgotten, the fragility of memories, regret, self-confrontation, betrayal in relationships, and the cycle of karma symbolized by King Yama. Through poetic imagery of fading faces, hesitation, and tangled emotions, it reflects on life's inevitable endings and the pain of blurred truths. The song blends introspective lyricism with atmospheric soundscapes for a deeply emotional experience.

염라 (Karma) Lyrics
Lyricist:

{Verse 1}
바라봤을 뿐인 얼굴
[A Face I Just Looked At]
떠오르지 않나요? 네
[Doesn'T It Come To Mind? Yes]
꺼림칙한 건 나인데
[I Am The One Feeling Uncomfortable]
신경 쓰이잖아요
[You Are Bothered, Aren'T You]
희미해져 가는 게
[The Fact That It Is Fading Away]
사라져 없어져 버린다는 게
[The Fact That It Disappears And Vanishes]
{Refrain}
망설임은 항상 내 편, 물어볼 수조차 없죠
[Hesitation Is Always On My Side, I Can'T Even Ask]
대체 어디로들 가는 건지 몰라
[I Don'T Know Where They Are All Going]
인생 마지막의 숨을 든 채로
[Holding Life'S Final Breath]
몸을 던져버리잖아
[You Throw Your Body Away]
{Pre-Chorus}
색 바랜 기록 위에 눈물 닿아도
[Even If Tears Touch The Faded Records]
빛은 돌아오지 않아
[The Light Does Not Return]
구겨진 기억만을 안고 살고 싶다면
[If You Want To Live Holding Only Crumpled Memories]
누구에게 말해야만 해?
[To Whom Should I Speak?]
{Chorus}
가장 바라고 가장 두려운 것은
[The Thing I Desire Most And Fear Most]
마음의 저편에
[On The Other Side Of The Heart]
두고 온 나인데, 어느새 손에 쥐어져
[Is The Me I Left Behind, But Suddenly It'S In My Hand]
거짓말처럼, 아, 아미타
[Like A Lie, Ah, Amita]
{Post-Chorus}
(그래요, 그래요)
[(Yes, That Is Right, Yes, That Is Right)]
(좋아요, 좋아요)
[(Good, It Is Good, Good, It Is Good)]
(나예요, 나예요)
[(It Is Me, It Is Me, It Is Me, It Is Me)]
바라지 않는 거라도 좋아
[Even If It'S Something I Don'T Wish For, It'S Fine]
(그래요, 그래요)
[(Yes, That Is Right, Yes, That Is Right)]
(좋아요, 좋아요)
[(Good, It Is Good, Good, It Is Good)]
(나예요, 나예요)
[(It Is Me, It Is Me, It Is Me, It Is Me)]
두려워도 괜찮을 거라고
[That It'Ll Be Okay Even If You'Re Afraid]
위로하는 그 소리, 거짓말
[That Consoling Voice, A Lie]
뻔한 엔딩, 그 스토리
[A Predictable Ending, That Story]
타임라인 저 아득히 아래 쌓여버리겠지
[It Will Probably Pile Up Far Below On The Timeline]
{Verse 2}
처음으로 지은 표정
[The Face I Made For The First Time]
귀엽다고 해줘요, 네
[Please Tell Me It'S Cute, Yes]
거짓말하는 건 난데
[I Am The One Lying]
‘회자정리’인가요?
[Is It 'Meetings Must Part'?]
슬그머니 거리를 두는 게
[Gently Keeping A Distance]
당신이 먼저 다가왔던 건데
[Even Though You Approached Me First]
{Refrain}
배신감은 항상 독차지
[Always Monopolizing The Feeling Of Betrayal]
칠흑 같은 관계의 색
[The Pitch-Black Color Of The Relationship]
대체 언제 그렇게 발라 둔 지 몰라
[I Don'T Know Since When It Was Applied Like That]
인생 마지막 순간인 것처럼
[As If It'S The Final Moment Of Life]
눈을 감고 다니잖아
[You Walk Around With Your Eyes Closed, Don'T You]
{Pre-Chorus}
관계도처럼 줄이 그어져 있어
[Lines Are Drawn Like A Relationship Chart]
너와 나, 어느 사이에
[Between You And Me, At Some Point]
뒤틀린 추억만을
[If You Want To Share Only]
공유하고 싶다면
[Twisted Memories]
누구에게 말해야만 해
[To Whom Should I Speak]
{Chorus}
가장 바라고 가장 두려운 것은
[The Thing I Desire Most And Fear Most]
마음의 저편에
[On The Other Side Of The Heart]
두고 온 나인데 어느새 손에 쥐어져
[Is The Me I Left Behind But Suddenly It'S In My Hand]
거짓말처럼 아 아미타
[Like A Lie, Ah, Amita]
{Post-Chorus}
(그래요, 그래요)
[(Yes, That Is Right, Yes, That Is Right)]
(좋아요, 좋아요)
[(Good, It Is Good, Good, It Is Good)]
(나예요, 나예요)
[(It Is Me, It Is Me, It Is Me, It Is Me)]
바라지 않는 거라도 좋아
[Even If It'S Something I Don'T Wish For, It'S Fine]
(그래요, 그래요)
[(Yes, That Is Right, Yes, That Is Right)]
(좋아요, 좋아요)
[(Good, It Is Good, Good, It Is Good)]
(나예요, 나예요)
[(It Is Me, It Is Me, It Is Me, It Is Me)]
두려워도 괜찮을 거라고
[That It'Ll Be Okay Even If You'Re Afraid]
{Bridge}
애써 연기를 해도 가면을 쓰고 하면 어떡해
[Even If You Try Hard To Act, What If You Do It Wearing A Mask]
정론이지만 해답으로선 오답인 거네
[It Is The Standard Logic But As An Answer It Is Wrong]
한치 틀림없이 어긋난
[Misaligned Without A Single Error]
관음 관심 관용 관세음
[Observation, Interest, Tolerance, Avalokiteshvara]
너와 나의 추종자가
[Your And My Followers]
숨을 손에 품고 귀의를
[Holding Breath In Hand And Seeking Refuge]
{Chorus}
잃어버린 꿈에 미련은 없는 거야
[There Is No Lingering Regret For Lost Dreams]
후회는 하지만
[I Do Regret It Though]
사랑했었지만 사랑받은 기억은
[I Loved You But The Memory Of Being Loved]
거짓말처럼 아 아미타
[Like A Lie, Ah, Amita]
{Post-Chorus}
(그래요, 그래요)
[(Yes, That Is Right, Yes, That Is Right)]
(좋아요, 좋아요)
[(Good, It Is Good, Good, It Is Good)]
(나예요, 나예요)
[(It Is Me, It Is Me, It Is Me, It Is Me)]
바라지 않는 거라도 좋아
[Even If It'S Something I Don'T Wish For, It'S Fine]
(그래요, 그래요)
[(Yes, That Is Right, Yes, That Is Right)]
(좋아요, 좋아요)
[(Good, It Is Good, Good, It Is Good)]
(나예요, 나예요)
[(It Is Me, It Is Me, It Is Me, It Is Me)]
두려워도 괜찮을 거라고
[That It'Ll Be Okay Even If You'Re Afraid]
위로하는 그 소리, 거짓말
[That Consoling Voice, A Lie]
뻔한 엔딩, 그 스토리
[A Predictable Ending, That Story]
타임라인 저 아득히 아래
[It Will Probably Pile Up Far Below]
쌓여버리겠지
[On The Timeline]
