Lyrics #
헤어질 때 늘 하던 짧은 인사가 (Heeojil ttae neul hadeon jjalbeun insaga)
The brief goodbye we always said when parting
오늘따라 왜 이렇게 서글픈거니 (Oneulttara wae ireoke seogeulpeungeoni)
Why does it feel so sorrowful today?
눈물이 두 뺨 위로 흘러내릴때 (Nunmuri du ppyam wiro heulleonaeril ttae)
When tears stream down both my cheeks
그때서야 이별인 줄 알았어 (Geuttaeseoya ibyeorin jul arasseo)
Only then did I realize it was a farewell
제발 가지 말라고 차갑게 떠나지 말라고 (Jebal gaji mallago chagapge tteonaji mallago)
Please don’t go, don’t leave so coldly
가슴 아프도록 외쳐보지만 (Gaseum apeudorok oechyeobojiman)
I cry out until my heart aches
너는 떠나간다고 나의 손을 놓는다고 (Neoneun tteonagandago naui soneul nonneundago)
You’re leaving, letting go of my hand
나를 두고 돌아서 버린 너 (Nareul dugo doraseo beorin neo)
You turned away and left me behind
다시 사랑한다 해도 다른 누군갈 만나도 (Dasi saranghanda haedo dareun nugungal mannado)
Even if I love again or meet someone else
나는 너와 같은 사람 다신 만나진 못해 (Naneun neowa gateun saram dasin mannajin motae)
I will never meet someone like you again
백 번 천 번을 말해도 울며 다짐을 해봐도 (Baek beon cheon beoneul malhaedo ulmyeo dajimeul haebwaedo)
Even if I say it a hundred, a thousand times, crying as I make promises
떠나가는 네 얼굴 보고싶은 내가 정말 싫어 (Tteonaganeun ne eolgul bogosipeun naega jeongmal sireo)
I hate myself for wanting to see your departing face
모두 꿈일꺼라고 깨면 다 돌아올꺼라고 (Modu kkumilgeorago kkaemyeon da doraolgeorago)
I tell myself it’s all a dream, that you’ll come back when I wake up
아픈 마음을 위로해보지만 (Apeun maeumeul wirohaebojiman)
Trying to comfort my aching heart
점점 멀어져가는 너의 모습을 보면서 (Jeomjeom meoreojyeoganeun neoui moseubeul bomyeonseo)
But as I watch you fade away
울고있는 내가 다 가여워 (Ulgoinneun naega da gayeowo)
I pity the crying me
다시 사랑한다 해도 (Dasi saranghanda haedo)
Even if I love again
다른 누군가를 만나도 (Dareun nugungareul mannado)
Or meet someone else
나는 너와 같은 사람 다신 만나지 못해 (Naneun neowa gateun saram dasin mannajin motae)
I will never meet someone like you again
백 번 천 번을 말해도 울며 다짐을 해봐도 (Baek beon cheon beoneul malhaedo ulmyeo dajimeul haebwaedo)
Even if I say it a hundred, a thousand times, crying as I make promises
떠나가는 네 얼굴 보고싶은 내가 싫어 (Tteonaganeun ne eolgul bogosipeun naega sireo)
I hate myself for wanting to see your departing face
정말 사랑했었다면 (Jeongmal saranghaesseotdamyeon)
If you really loved me
나를 사랑했었다면 (Nareul saranghaesseotdamyeon)
If you loved me
가는 길에서라도 한번쯤은 돌아봐줘 (Ganeun gireseorado hanbeonjjeumeun dorabwajwo)
At least once on your way, turn back and look at me
이거 하나만 알고 가 (Igeo hanaman algo ga)
Know just this before you leave
이 말 하나만 듣고 가 (I mal hanaman deutgo ga)
Hear just this one thing before you go
나보다 더 좋은 사람 만나도 (Naboda deo joeun saram mannado)
Even if you meet someone better than me
날 잊으면 안돼 (Nal ijeumyeon andwae)
You must not forget me
