4BOUT - First And Last

As the day comes to an end

I've spent all day learning how to say goodbye

What words should I say

If this is truly the end

Your eyes are still sparkling

Just like the very first day

Your eyes still hold

That light from our first day

So how can I let you go

From the moment you chose me

From the moment I found you

We built a quiet world

Just for the two of us

Your eyes are still sparkling

Just like the very first day

Your eyes still hold

That light from our first day

So how can I let you go

Oh, I'm not ready yet

Please, could you stay a little longer

If you're no longer by my side...

Your eyes are still sparkling

Just like the very first day

Your eyes still hold

That light from our first day

So how can I let you go

"4BOUT (어바웃) - First And Last"

하루를 다 보내며

온종일 이별을 배웠네

무슨 말을 해야 할까

이게 다 끝이라면

네 눈은 여전히 반짝여

우리 처음 그날처럼

네 눈은 여전히 담고 있어

우리 첫날의 그 빛을

그런데 어떻게 널 보내

네가 날 선택한 날부터

내가 널 찾아낸 날부터

우리는 조용한 세상을

둘만을 위해 지었지

네 눈은 여전히 반짝여

우리 처음 그날처럼

네 눈은 여전히 담고 있어

우리 첫날의 그 빛을

그런데 어떻게 널 보내

오, 난 준비 안 됐는데

해야, 늦게 떠 줄래

네가 내 곁에 없다면…

네 눈은 여전히 반짝여

우리 처음 그날처럼

네 눈은 여전히 담고 있어

우리 첫날의 그 빛을

그런데 어떻게 널 보내
