I've been wanting to cover this song since last year, Kept changing the age from 15 (in the original song) to 18 (for akmu version) to 19 (well, that was last yr) to 20 LOL, changing the person I was supposed to duet with :) and finally I got to release it! Well, I've mentioned both akmu and original version because at first I planned to cover akmu version but I decided to go for the original one instead :)

Thank you so much Zee for willing to do this song with me as the "mother". 

Though my mom wouldn't be listening to this and it's passed her birthday already, but this song is especially for my mom, although I didn't sing well enough for it to be any special. but yes, it is in fact a special song, that got me teared up almost every time :) 

I might be 20 but I'm still just a little girl who wants to be loved and would love to give back the love I've been given all my life :)

"엄마처럼 좋은 엄마 되는 게 내 꿈이란 걸. 엄마를 행복하게 해주는 게 바로 내 꿈이란 걸"

사랑해요 영원히.

Lyrics Translation: 

I thought I had just closed my eyes for a brief second
But I've already become old
I thought you would always be a little child
But you're already grown
 
I still don't know life very well
So I don't have much to say to you
But with this heart wishing you more happiness
I search inside my chest for words to tell you
 
"Go study" -- no, that's too mundane
"Always be kind" -- no, even I couldn't do that
"Love -- no, that's a hard thing to do
Find your own way in life
 
I thought I had lived life long enough
But I'm only 20 years old
I wanted to always be that lovely daughter of yours
But I'm already so unlovable
 
I still don't know life very well
So I have a lot of things I want to learn
But when you just keep repeating the same words to me
I shut the door to my heart more tightly
 
"Go study" -- I know how important that is too
"Always be kind" -- can't you see I'm trying?
"Love" -- I don't want to hurt myself further
Just let me find my own way in life
 
You don't even know how I feel
You just keep pestering me with that same nagging
Like a bird trapped inside a cold cage
I feel so constricted
 
You keep saying things that lead to resentment
Please just leave me alone
Why are you treating me like a child, listen to my story
I'm hurting too, I'm suffering enough
No matter how hard I try
Am I just your immature daughter?
Leave me alone
 
"Go study" -- no, that's too mundane
"Always be kind" -- no, even I couldn't do that
"Love -- no, that's a hard thing to do
Find your own way in life
 
Can you forgive me for not being a better mother?
Can you promise me that you'll be a better mother than me?
 
Mom, please put your trust in me
Instead of words that are hard to understand, reach out with your warm arms
The words you say, full of worries, weigh me down heavily
And living life becomes even more fearful
 
Why are you secretly wiping away your tears, why are you quietly pounding on your chest?
I can do far better than what you're worrying about
Being that powerful daughter of yours who can overcome everything
I will power through it all in life, so don't worry about it
 
Even though you don't say it, I know it all already
That you love me more than anyone else
So I can say it confidently
That my dream is to become a good mother like you
 
Even though you don't say it, I know it all already
That you love me more than anyone else
So I can say it confidently
That my dream is to make you happy

I hope you enjoy listening to this, and if you're willing, do leave out a comment for opinions on our singing. 
I apologize for my terrible mixing :(
