늘 (EVER)

• By: Hebi

Lyrics:

[한국어]

[English]

​​​ ​남아있던 나를 떠나​ ​​

Leaving the me that remained

​​​ ​더 희미해지고​ ​​

Fading away even more

​​​ ​어떤 외로움을 품고​ ​​

Embracing some kind of loneliness

​​​ ​살아가더라도​ ​​

Even if I live on

​​​ ​내게 닿았던 기억은 늘​ ​​

The memories that touched me always

​​​ ​찬란하게 번져​ ​​

Spread out brilliantly

​​​ ​아직도 난 왜 잊지도 못하고 또​ ​​

Why can't I still forget, and

​​​ ​왜 난 더​ ​​

Why do I

​​​ ​더 왜​ ​​

Why more

​​​ ​갇힌 것 같은데​ ​​

Feel like I'm trapped

​​​ ​겁에 질린 채로​ ​​

Terrified

​​​ ​처음이라서 그래​ ​​

It's because it's the first time

​​​ ​가본 적 없는 길에​ ​​

On a road I've never been on

​​​ ​날 잠시 잊은 채 ​ ​​

Forgetting myself for a moment

​​​ ​가시를 세운 채 ​ ​​

With thorns raised

​​​ ​상처난 꽃잎처럼​ ​​

Like wounded petals

​​​ ​떨어질 때 내 손을 잡아줄래​ ​​

When I fall, will you hold my hand?

​​​ ​끝의 밤을 지울게​ ​​

I'll erase the night at the end

​​​ ​빛으로​ ​​

With light

​​​ ​늘​ ​​

Always

​​​ ​내 맘에 핀 그림자는 날​ ​​

The shadow blooming in my heart feels like it's

​​​ ​삼키는 듯하고​ ​​

Swallowing me

​​​ ​기다리던 햇살은 날​ ​​

The sunlight I was waiting for

​​​ ​스쳐가듯 떠나고​ ​​

Leaves as if just passing by

​​​ ​겨우 매달린 희미한 달​ ​​

A faint moon barely hanging on

​​​ ​빛은 미끄러져​ ​​

Its light is slipping away

​​​ ​아직도 난 벗어나질 못하고 또​ ​​

I still can't escape, and

​​​ ​왜 난 더​ ​​

Why do I

​​​ ​더 왜 무너져가는데​ ​​

Why am I falling apart even more?

​​​ ​어쩔 줄 모르고 ​ ​​

Not knowing what to do

​​​ ​처음이라서 그래​ ​​

It's because it's the first time

​​​ ​가본 적 없는 길에​ ​​

On a road I've never been on

​​​ ​날 잠시 잊은 채​ ​​

Forgetting myself for a moment

​​​ ​가시를 세운 채​ ​​

With thorns raised

​​​ ​상처 난 꽃잎처럼​ ​​

Like wounded petals

​​​ ​떨어질 때 내 손을 잡아줄래​ ​​

When I fall, will you hold my hand?

​​​ ​끝의 밤을 지울게​ ​​

I'll erase the night at the end

​​​ ​빛으로​ ​​

With light

​​​ ​그냥 달아나자 저 너머에​ ​​

Let's just run away to the other side

​​​ ​어두워지는 하늘이​ ​​

So the darkening sky

​​​ ​우릴 다신 찾을 수 없게​ ​​

Can't find us again

​​​ ​검은 밤이​ ​​

The black night

​​​ ​무섭지 않다기보단​ ​​

It's not that I'm not scared, but

​​​ ​포기할 수 있는 게 아냐​ ​​

It's not something I can give up on

​​​ ​이제서야 보이네​ ​​

I can see it now

​​​ ​이미 따뜻했는데​ ​​

It was already warm

​​​ ​고개를 떨구고​ ​​

Hanging my head

​​​ ​두 귀를 막고​ ​​

Covering my ears

​​​ ​내 곁을 지켜주던​ ​​

The you who stayed by my side

​​​ ​널 놓칠 때​ ​​

When I lose you

​​​ ​또 한 번 잡아줄래​ ​​

Will you hold me one more time?

​​​ ​약속할게​ ​​

I promise

​​​ ​찬란한 미소를​ ​​

A brilliant smile

​​​ ​아침일 거야 우린 늘​ ​​

It will be morning, we always will

Grammar:

• 남아있던 나를 떠나

  ➔ Past Adjective Clause (던)

  ➔ "남아있던" describes "나 (me)" that *was* remaining. 던 is used to modify a noun with an action or state that occurred in the past and is still having an effect or relevant in the present.

• 어떤 외로움을 품고 살아가더라도

  ➔ -(아/어/여)도 + -라도 (Even if/Even though)

  ➔ 더라도 creates a stronger sense of supposition. Regardless of the loneliness (어떤 외로움을 품고), even if (살아가더라도) one lives with it, the main clause will still hold true.

• 내게 닿았던 기억은 늘 찬란하게 번져

  ➔ Past Adjective Clause (던) + Adverbial Ending (-게)

  ➔ "닿았던" describes the memory (기억) that *had* reached me. 번져 describes the act of spreading, and 찬란하게 modifies it to mean "spreads *brilliantly*."

• 아직도 난 왜 잊지도 못하고 또

  ➔ -지도 못하다 (Cannot even)

  ➔ "잊지도 못하고" means "can't even forget". This emphasizes the inability to forget.

• 갇힌 것 같은데

  ➔ -(으)ㄴ/는 것 같다 (It seems like/It appears that)

  ➔ "갇힌 것 같은데" means "it seems like I'm trapped". -것 같다 expresses conjecture or uncertainty.

• 떨어질 때 내 손을 잡아줄래

  ➔ -(을/ㄹ) 때 (When)

  ➔ "떨어질 때" means "when I'm falling". It indicates the specific time when the action of falling occurs.

• 내 맘에 핀 그림자는 날 삼키는 듯하고

  ➔ -(으)ㄴ/는 듯하다 (It seems/appears that)

  ➔ "삼키는 듯하고" means "it seems like it's swallowing me". It conveys a sense of something appearing to be true, but not necessarily being certain.

• 어두워지는 하늘이 우릴 다신 찾을 수 없게

  ➔ -(으)ㄹ 수 없다 (Cannot)

  ➔ "찾을 수 없게" means "so that it cannot find us". -(으)ㄹ 수 없다 expresses inability or impossibility. 게 makes it an adverbial modifier, indicating the purpose or result.
