Lyrics & Translation

[Korean]

[English]

떠나거든 내 소식이 들려오면

If you leave, when you hear news of me

이제는 모른다고 해줘

Just say you don't know me anymore

언제나 내 맘속에서

Always in my heart

커져만 갔던 너를

You who only grew larger

조금씩 나도 지우려 해

I'm trying to erase you little by little

사랑해 라고 말하고 싶었지만

I wanted to say I love you

늘 미안하다고만 했던 나

But I always just said I'm sorry

잊고 잊혀지고 지우고

Forgetting, being forgotten, erasing

처음 만난 그때가 그리워진 사람

The person I miss from when we first met

다시 못 올 몇 번의 그 계절

Those seasons that won't come again

떠나버린 너의 모습을

Your figure that has left

지우고 버리고 비워도

Even if I erase, discard, and empty it

어느 새 가득 차버린 내사랑

My love has somehow filled up again

...

...

안 된다고 사랑하면 안 된다고

You said it can't be, that we shouldn't love

하지만 우린 함께했지

But we were together

언제나 내 마음이라

Always in my heart

사랑하던 맘이라

The heart that loved

그리 아파할 줄 몰랐어

I didn't know it would hurt so much

미안해 라고 안아주고 싶지만

I want to hold you and say I'm sorry

점이 돼버린 그 뒷모습

That figure that has become a dot

잊고 잊혀지고 지우고

Forgetting, being forgotten, erasing

처음 만난 그때가

The person I miss from when we first met

그리워진 사람

Those seasons that won't come again

다시 못 올 몇 번의 그 계절

Your figure that has left

떠나버린 너의 모습을

Even if I erase, discard, and empty it

지우고 버리고 비워도

My love has somehow filled up again

어느 새 가득 차버린 내사랑

어느 새 가득 차버린 내사랑

모든 게 나 때문인데

Everything is because of me

왜 네가 더 힘들어

Why are you the one suffering more?

네가 왜 내 맘을 위로해

Why do you comfort my heart?

...

...

잊고 잊혀지고 지우고

Forgetting, being forgotten, erasing

처음 만난 그때가 그리워진 사람

The person I miss from when we first met

다시 못 올 몇 번의 그 계절

Those seasons that won't come again

떠나버린 너의 모습을

Your figure that has left

지우고 버리고 비워도

Even if I erase, discard, and empty it

어느 새 가득 차버린 내사랑

My love has somehow filled up again

...
