난 어린 시절 옷 사는 게 싫었어

떡볶이를 사준다던 우리 엄마

시장에 도착하니 말을 바꿨어

바지를 사야 떡볶이를 사준대

I was so angry, 그래서 도망쳤어

In my pocket, 단돈 천원, 나의 일주일 치 용돈

When the sun was going down, 어두워질 때

저 멀리 파란색 1톤 트럭이 보였어

마지막 포대 자루를 앞에 두고

The truck driver 아저씨가 소리쳤지

"떨이요~ 떨이~ 몽땅 천 원!"

다양한 고구마 음식이 내 머리를 지배했어

아~ 내 인생 첫 올인 투자

천 원짜리 고구마 한 자루

내 몸뚱이만 자루를 낑낑대며

I'm going home, yeah

무겁고 어두우니 조심히 가라던

아저씨의 인사에 난 미소로 대답했어.

집에 도착하니 so tired, 너무 힘들었어

엄마의 잔소리는 내게 BGM일 뿐

나는 웃으며 한마디 했지

"엄마, 내 용돈 다 투자해서 고구마 사 왔어!"

엄마는 어이가 없었는지 저녁을 차려줬어.

나는 씻고 밥 먹자마자 I fell asleep

다음 날 아침 a new morning

아빠가 뭔가를 열심히 깎고 계셨어

뒤에서 엄마의 우렁찬 소리가 들렸어,

"니가 사온거 니가 다 먹어"

그런데... 아빠가 깎던 물체를 보고 난 얼었어.

그건 고구마가 아니었거든.

Oh no. 그건 흙당근이었어.

난 카레 당근도 안 먹는데... Oh my god.

사랑하는 나의 아빠, 나를 위해

당근을 같이 먹어주셨어

장장 삼 일 동안 먹고 나서 난 깨달았어.

It tasted strangely good

나는 당근의 단맛에 빠져버렸어.

내가 투자한 고구마

내가 사랑한 당근, yeah

=======================

I used to hate shopping for clothes when I was a kid.

My mom said she'd buy me tteokbokki.

But when we got to the market, she changed her tune.

She said she'd only buy me tteokbokki if I bought pants first.

I was so angry, so I ran away.

In my pocket, I had just a thousand wonmy entire week's allowance.

As the sun was going down and it was getting dark,

I saw a blue one-ton truck in the distance.

With the last sack in front of him,

the truck driver yelled,

"Clearance! Everything's a thousand won!"

All the different sweet potato dishes took over my mind.

It was my life's first all-in investment

a sack of sweet potatoes for a thousand won.

I struggled with the sack, which was as big as me.

I'm going home, yeah.

"It's heavy and dark, so be careful," the man said with a smile.

I answered his greeting with a smile of my own.

I was so tired when I got home, it was so hard.

My mom's nagging was just background music to me.

I smiled and said one thing,

"Mom, I invested all my allowance and bought sweet potatoes!"

My mom was so baffled that she just made me dinner.

I washed up, ate, and fell asleep right away.

The next morning was a new day.

My dad was diligently peeling something.

I heard my mom's loud voice from behind me,

"You bought it, so you eat it all."

But... I froze when I saw what my dad was peeling.

It wasn't a sweet potato.

Oh no. It was a dirt-covered carrot.

I don't even like carrots in curry... Oh my god.

My beloved dad ate the carrots with me,

and after eating them for a full three days, I realized something.

It tasted strangely good.

I had fallen for the sweet taste of carrots.

The sweet potatoes I invested in,

The carrots I came to love, yeah.
