[English]

Couldn't even take a sip,

The ice melted completely, turning it into lukewarm tea.

Me, just staring at my cigarette aimlessly.

A sigh mixed into the conversation.

A conversation that keeps breaking off, even when I try to continue it.

Since when was it?

Letting go of the hand I held.

Maybe this is another way of saying goodbye to love.

Please stay a little longer.

Such talk is meaningless, isn't it?

Me, in your shadow,

I know I can't find myself.

My shadow moving further away, my shadow.

All that's left is a faded heart.

It became even more meaningless.

What I hoped would change looks pathetic even when I look at it.

Goodbye now to our beautiful past days.

Letting go of the hand I held.

Maybe this is another way of saying goodbye to love.

Following me, before I knew it,

One day it became pathetic.

In the season we were together,

Standing alone, searching for you.

My shadow moving further away, my shadow.

All that's left is a faded heart.

It became even more meaningless.

What I hoped would change looks pathetic even when I look at it.

Goodbye now to our beautiful past days.

It feels like we've already come too far.

Holding tightly onto my worn-out heart.

있어

I wish you would understand even my outward appearance.

This end, just as it is, perhaps started long ago, yet I'm still right here.

My shadow moving further away, my shadow.

All that's left is a faded heart.

At your sight,

That feeling, that I wouldn't leave, that was a blessing.

We've been doing this, haven't we?

A series of wrong turns.

All that's left is a screen with only the ending remaining.

It became even more meaningless.

What I hoped would change looks pathetic even when I look at it.

Goodbye now to our beautiful past days.

한 모금도 못 마신

얼음이 다 녹아 nice tea

애꾸준 담배만 바라보는 나

대화 속에 섞인 한숨

이어가려 해도 끊기는 대화

언제부터던가

잡은 손을 놓아주는 걸

어쩌면 이건 사랑의 다른 말

조금 더 머물러줘

그런 얘긴 의미없잖아

너의 그늘 속에 날

찾을 수 없다는 거 알아

그림자 멀어져가는 내 그림자

남은 건 빛 바래진 마음뿐이야

의미 없던 더

바뀌지라 했던 봐도 초라해

아름답던 지난날에 우린 이제 안녕

잡은 손을 놓아주는 걸

어쩌면 이건 사랑의 다른 말

나를 따라 어느새

초라져 버렸던 어느 날

함께였던 계절에

홀로 서서 그댈 찾아

그림자 멀어져가는 내 그림자

남은 건 빛 바래진 마음뿐이야

의미 없던 더

바뀌지라 했던 봐도 초라해

아름답던 지난날에 우린 이제 안녕

벌써 멀리 와버린 듯해

닳아버린 마음을 꼭 잡고

있어

그 겉모습까지 알아줬으면 해

이대로의 끝 어쩌면 오래전 I'm still right here

그림자 멀어져가는 내 그림자

남은 건 빛 바래진 마음뿐이야

네 모습에

떠나지 않으리라 느꼈던 그건 축복

해 왔잖아

한 편의 잘못된 연속

남은 건 엔딩만 남은 화면만

의미 없던 더

바뀌지라 했던 봐도 초라해

아름답던 지난날에 우린 이제 안녕

Key Grammar Structures

• 이어가려 해도 끊기는 대화

  ➔ V-려 해도 (Even if one tries to V); V-는 (present descriptive form for verbs)

  ➔ "이어가려 해도" means "even if one tries to continue." "끊기는" is the present descriptive form of "끊기다" (to be cut/to break off), modifying "대화" (conversation), meaning "the conversation that breaks off."

• 언제부터던가

  ➔ V-던가 (Retrospective question/recollection, "was it that V...?")

  ➔ "언제부터던가" combines "언제부터" (since when) with "-던가," which expresses a retrospective question or a recollection with a sense of wonder or uncertainty. It means "I wonder since when" or "was it since when that..."

• 잡은 손을 놓아주는 걸

  ➔ V-아/어 주다 (to do V for someone); V-는 것/걸 (nominalization/gerund)

  ➔ "놓아주는 걸" combines "놓아주다" (to let go for someone, or as a favor) with "-는 걸," which nominalizes the verb phrase, turning it into a noun clause. It refers to the "act of letting go."

• 너의 그늘 속에 날 찾을 수 없다는 거 알아

  ➔ V-(으)ㄹ 수 없다 (cannot V); V-다는 것/거 (nominalization of a statement, "that...")

  ➔ "찾을 수 없다는 거" is an indirect quotation and nominalization of "찾을 수 없다" (cannot find). "-다는 거" turns the entire clause into a noun phrase, which is then the object of "알아" (I know).

• 그림자 멀어져가는 내 그림자

  ➔ V-아/어 가다 (to gradually V; to continue to V; indicating progress or change)

  ➔ "멀어져가는" combines "멀어지다" (to become distant/far) with "-아 가다," which signifies a gradual process or a continuous action moving away from the speaker/subject. It implies the shadow is progressively getting farther away.

• 남은 건 빛 바래진 마음뿐이야

  ➔ V-아/어 지다 (passive voice/state change, "to become V-ed"); N-뿐이다 (only N, nothing but N)

  ➔ "빛 바래진" uses "-아 지다" to indicate a change of state (from not faded to faded), functioning as a passive participle modifying "마음" (heart). "마음뿐이야" uses "-뿐이다" to emphasize that *only* the faded heart remains.

• 나를 따라 어느새 초라져 버렸던 어느 날

  ➔ V-아/어 버리다 (completion/regret, "to completely V / to V regrettably"); V-았/었던 (retrospective past perfect adnominal, "that had V-ed / that used to V")

  ➔ "초라져 버렸던" combines "초라지다" (to become shabby) with "-아 버리다" indicating completion or regret, and then adds "-었던" for a retrospective past perfect adnominal form, modifying "어느 날" (one day). It describes a past state that became shabby and was completely (and perhaps regrettably) gone.

• 그 겉모습까지 알아줬으면 해

  ➔ N-까지 (even N / up to N); V-았/었으면 하다 (to wish/hope that V)

  ➔ "겉모습까지" uses "-까지" to emphasize that *even* the outer appearance should be recognized. "알아줬으면 해" combines "알아주다" (to recognize/understand someone's feelings/situation for them) with "-았/었으면 하다," expressing a wish or hope.

• 네 모습에 떠나지 않으리라 느꼈던 그건 축복

  ➔ V-지 않다 (negation, "not V"); V-(으)리라 (strong intention/supposition, "will surely V / will not V"); V-았/었던 (retrospective past perfect adnominal, "that had V-ed / that used to V")

  ➔ "떠나지 않으리라" combines "떠나다" (to leave) with "-지 않다" (negation) and "-으리라" (strong supposition/intention, here "would not"). "느꼈던" is the retrospective past perfect adnominal form of "느끼다" (to feel), modifying "그건" (that thing). So it means "that which I felt would not leave."

• 해 왔잖아

  ➔ V-아/어 오다 (to have been V-ing up until now; to come V-ing); V-잖아 (confirmation/shared knowledge, "you know, right?")

  ➔ "해 왔잖아" combines "하다" (to do) with "-아 오다" (indicating an action that has continued from the past up to the present) and "-잖아," which is used to confirm something the speaker believes the listener already knows or should agree with.
