[English]

Still us, the scent of that time

The faint breeze passing by, turning blue

Where are we now?

Hold on, warm days for us

Wrapping us in comfort

So we can keep moving forward

Back then, we were truly beautiful

I'll keep it safe, never forget

The times we dreamed of together

Hoping they would never end

I'm flying away as the seasons change

Leaving behind the final fleeting moments

끝을 맺어주길 바랄게

I was caught in a lie

Following the trembling of rough winds

The ends of memories are drifting farther away

I was caught in a lie

거친 바람의 흔들림 따라

기억의 끝이 멀어져가

지난 시절이 우리를 더 빛나게 했지

잊지 않고 늘 간직할게

The times we drew together

Hoping they would never end

I'm flying away as the seasons change

Leaving behind the final fleeting moments

Now I'll let you go

I was caught in a lie

Following the trembling of rough winds

The ends of memories are drifting farther away

It was as if that moment

We believed our hearts would last forever

Now I know, now you know

So that it can become a memory

We're flying away as the seasons change

Leaving behind the final fleeting moments

Now I'll let you go

We were caught in a lie

Following the trembling of rough winds

The ends of memories are drifting farther away

The ends of memories are drifting farther away

The ends of memories are drifting farther away

Still us 그때의 향기가

언뜻 스쳐 지나 파랗게 번져

Where are we now

Be for us 따뜻한 날들이

우리를 감싸주길

So we can keep moving on

그 시절의 우린 참 아름다웠지

잊지 않고 잘 간직할게

함께 그리던 시간

끝을 맺어주길 바랄게

I'm flying away 계절이 지나

흩어지는 마지막 순간을 떠나

이젠 널 보내줄게

I was caught in a lie

거친 바람의 흔들림 따라

기억의 끝이 멀어져가

지난 시절이 우리를 더 빛나게 했지

잊지 않고 늘 간직할게

함께 그렸던 시간

끝을 맺어주길 바랄게

I'm flying away 계절이 지나

흩어지는 마지막 순간을 떠나

이젠 널 보내줄게

I was caught in a lie

거친 바람의 흔들림 따라

기억의 끝이 멀어져가

마치 그 순간이

영원할 것 같던 마음을 믿었었기에

Now I know Now you know

추억이 될 수 있게

We're flying away 계절이 지나

흩어지는 마지막 순간을 떠나

이젠 널 보내줄게

We were caught in a lie

거친 바람의 흔들림 따라

기억의 끝이 멀어져가

기억의 끝이 멀어져가

기억의 끝이 멀어져가
