“우리만의 이야기” by WOODZ & Lee Seung-chul is about two people who, after exhausting days that dimmed their hope, choose to rely on each other.

- 손을so·neulhand
- 꼭kkoktightly

- 준junfor me
잡다 means 'to hold' and 주다 means 'to give'; combined as 잡아 주다 it means 'held (for my sake)' — adding a nuance of favor not present in either word alone.
다 지나갈 거야Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): da ji·na·gal kkeo·ya
Meaning: It will all pass
Words in this line- 다daall
- 지나갈ji·na·galwill pass
- 거야kkeo·yawill be
"지나갈" alone is the future form "will pass," and "거야" is a casual auxiliary of certainty; together they form the fixed phrase "it will (definitely) pass."

Words in this line- 그geuthat
- 아무도a·mu·doanyone
- 모르게mo·reu·geunknowingly
- 흘린heul·linshed
- 눈물nun·multears
"그 아무도 모르게" literally reads "in a way that absolutely no one knew," a fixed expression meaning "secretly" rather than a literal statement about knowledge.
두 손 잡고 걸어가 보자Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): du son jap·kko geo·reo·ga bo·ja
Meaning: Let's hold hands and walk on
Words in this line- 두dutwo

- 보자bo·jalet's try
'보자' is a soft suggestion form meaning 'let's try', gentler than a flat command — an invitation to do something together.
