[English]

If I'm born again

If I love again

Then let's not be like this

Meet a little less

Expect a little less

Let's not make many promises

So that even if parting comes again

We can turn away from each other

Without deep pain

Let's only create

Light memories we can let go of

In each other's hearts

That's what we'll do

I've come to realize now

That a love too deep

Rather brings a sad ending

That's what I know

I beg of you, my dear

That our next love

Won't be like ours

Please, without pain

You must be happier

Much happier than me

Even if much time passes

And we live on forgetting each other

If, looking back on those days

We can say that was love too

If we can say that

Then that's enough

이젠 알아요

That a love too deep

Rather brings a sad ending

That's what I know

I beg of you, my dear

That our next love

Won't be like ours

Please, without pain

I've come to realize now

That even the love with you

Which I thought would be eternal

Deceived me

But sadder than that

Is that distant future image

Of you living happily

Without me

I hope only the sky

Knows my heart

[Korean]

다시 태어난다면

다시 사랑한다면

그때는 우리 이러지 말아요

조금 덜 만나고

조금 덜 기대하며

많은 약속 않기로 해요

다시 이별이 와도

서로 큰 아픔 없이

돌아설 수 있을 만큼

버려도 되는

가벼운 추억만

서로의 가슴에

만들기로 해요

이젠 알아요

너무 깊은 사랑은

외려 슬픈 마지막을

가져온다는 걸

그대여 빌게요

다음번의 사랑은

우리 같지 않길

부디 아픔이 없이

꼭 나보다 더

행복해져야만 해

많은 시간이 흘러

서로 잊고 지내도

지난날을 회상하며

그때도 이건 사랑이었다고

말할 수 있다면

그걸로 된 거죠

이젠 알아요

너무 깊은 사랑은

외려 슬픈 마지막을

가져온다는 걸

그대여 빌게요

다음번의 사랑은

우리 같지 않길

부디 아픔이 없이

이젠 알아요

영원할 줄 알았던

그대와의 사랑마저

날 속였다는 게

그보다 슬픈 건

나 없이 그대가

행복하게 지낼

먼 훗날의 모습

내 마음을

하늘만은 알기를

Key Grammar Structures

• 다시 태어난다면

  ➔ Conditional Clause (If I am reborn)

  ➔ Uses the conditional verb ending '-면' to express a hypothetical situation.

• 그때는 우리 이러지 말아요

  ➔ Imperative with '지 말아요' (Let's not.../We shouldn't...)

  ➔ Expresses a suggestion or a request not to do something. The base form is '이러다' (to be like this).

• 조금 덜 만나고

  ➔ Adverbial use of '덜' (less)

  ➔ '덜' modifies the verb '만나다' (to meet), indicating a reduced frequency or intensity.

• 많은 약속 않기로 해요

  ➔ Verb + '기로 하다' (to decide to.../ to make a decision to...)

  ➔ Expresses a decision or intention. '않기로' is a contracted form of '않기로 하다' which negates the verb.

• 이젠 알아요

  ➔ Present tense of '알다' (to know) with adverb '이젠' (now)

  ➔ Indicates a realization or understanding in the present time. '이젠' emphasizes the timing of the realization.

• 외려 슬픈 마지막을 가져온다는 걸

  ➔ '-(ㄴ/는)다는 걸' (that.../ the fact that...)

  ➔ This grammatical structure is used to state a fact or to indicate that something is being realized or understood. It acts as a nominalizer, turning a clause into a noun phrase.

• 그대여 빌게요

  ➔ Imperative with '-(으)ㄹ게요' (I will.../ I intend to...)

  ➔ Used to express the speaker's intention or resolve. '빌게요' is the polite form of '빌다' (to pray/ to wish).

• 부디 아픔이 없이

  ➔ Adverb '부디' (please/ I hope) + '없이' (without)

  ➔ Expresses a wish or a prayer. '없이' functions as 'without' and here it is used to express the absence of pain.

• 나 없이 그대가 행복하게 지낼

  ➔ Attributive Clause modifying '모습' (figure/ future self)

  ➔ The clause describes the 'future self' of the person they are addressing and how they will live without them. It is a complex sentence with multiple clauses.
