Lyrics & Translation

[Korean]

[English]

사계절이 와

The seasons come

그리고 또 떠나

And then they leave again

내 겨울을 주고 또 여름도 주었던

You who gave me my winter and my summer

온 세상이던 널

I will let you go

보낼래

Did I really love you?

정말 너를 사랑했을까?

When was it, was it spring?

언제야, 봄이던가

Right, back then we were

맞아 그땐 한참 서로가

Like a Shakespeare play

셰익스피어의 연극 같은

Facing a love that seemed like it would be the last

마지막이 될 사랑 마주한 듯

It seems we could only see each other

둘밖에 안 보였나 봐

둘밖에 안 보였나 봐

다른 걸 좀 보고파

I want to see something different

I gave you the world

I gave you the world

너만이 전부라

You were everything

내 겨울을 주고

You gave me my winter

또 여름도 주었지

And also my summer

뜨겁고 차갑던 그 계절에

In that season, hot and cold

정말 너를 사랑했을까?

Did I really love you?

내가 너를 사랑했을까?

Did I love you?

서로를 그리워했고

We missed each other

서로를 지겨워하지

And we didn't get tired of each other

그 긴 낮과 밤들이

Before those long days and nights

낡아 녹슬기 전에

Become old and rusty

우리 다시 반짝이자

Let's shine again

또 계절이 바뀌잖아

The seasons change again

I gave you the world

I gave you the world

너만이 전부라

You were everything

내 겨울을 주고

You gave me my winter

또 여름도 주었지

And also my summer

뜨겁고 차갑던 그 계절에

In that season, hot and cold

정말 너를 사랑했을까?

Did I really love you?

내가 너를 사랑했을까?

Did I love you?

가도 돼,

You can go,

뒤돌아볼 때쯤엔 난 없어

By the time you look back, I won't be there

우리, 꽤 괜찮았어

We were quite good together

그거면 된 거야

That's all that matters

떠날 때

When it's time to leave

사계절이 와,

The seasons come,

그리고 또 떠나

And then they leave again

내 겨울을 주고

You who gave me my winter

또 여름도 주었던

And also my summer

온 세상이던 널 보낼래

I will let go of you, who was my whole world

정말 너를 사랑했을까?

Did I really love you?

내가 너를 사랑했을까?

Did I love you?

내가 너를 사랑했을까?

Did I love you?
