사람 Pt.2 – Bilingual Lyrics Korean/English

• By: Agust D, 아이유

Lyrics & Translation

[Korean]

[English]

So time is yet now

So now is the only time I have

Right here to go

Right here, this is where I go

I know you know

I know you understand

Anything does know

You know everything

So time is yet now

So now is the only time I have

Right here to go

Right here, this is where I go

Nobody doesn’t know anymore

No one doesn’t know anymore

사랑이라는 말

The word love

어쩌면 순간의 감정의 나열

Maybe just a list of fleeting feelings

조건이 붙지 나는 무얼 사랑하는가

What am I loving, unconditionally?

충분히 사랑받지 못한 아이

A child who never got enough love

그래서 무엇보다 신중한 타입

So I’m a cautious type above all

나는 말야 원해 진중한 사이

I want something serious, you know

알잖아 영원은 모래성

You know, eternity’s like a sandcastle

잔잔한 파도에도 힘없이 쉽게 무너져

Easily breaking down even with gentle waves

상실은 무엇 때문에 슬픈 걸까

Why is loss so sad?

사실은 두려운 게 슬픈 거야

Actually, what’s sad is the fear

So far away, you’re gone

So far away, you’re gone

Getting far away

Getting further and further away

Too far away, you’re gone

Too far away, you’re gone

I know I have to know

I know I need to understand

So time is yet now

So now is the only time I have

Right here to go

Right here, this is where I go

I know you know

I know you understand

Anything does know

You know everything

So time is yet now

So now is the only time I have

Right here to go

Right here, this is where I go

Nobody doesn’t know anymore

No one doesn’t know anymore

당신은 무엇 땜에 슬픈 걸까

What makes you sad, my love?

사실은 두려움이 큰 거잖아

Honestly, it’s just big fear

함께 미래를 그리던 우리는 없고

The us who dreamed of a future together no longer exist

쌓은 모래성들을 부숴 버린 것은 우린 거야

We are the ones who destroyed the sandcastles we've built

승패가 없는 게임이라지만 난 언제나 game loser

Even though it’s a game with no winner or loser, I always feel like a loser

모든 걸 주겠다던 우린 모든 것을 부셔

We who promised to give everything, shattered everything

그리고 떠나지

And then we left

사랑이든 사람이든 모두가 이기적이기 때문이야

Because love and people are all selfish

So far away, you’re gone

So far away, you’re gone

Getting far away

Getting farther away

Too far away, you’re gone

Too far away, you’re gone

I know I have to know

I need to find out somehow

So time is yet now

So now is the only time I have

Right here to go

Right here, this is where I go

I know you know

I know you understand

Anything does know

You know everything

So time is yet now

So now is the only time I have

Right here to go

Right here, this is where I go

Nobody doesn’t know anymore

No one doesn’t know anymore

떠가는 사람 떠가는 사랑

Drifting people, drifting love

사랑의 끝은 과연 무엇일까

What exactly is the end of love?

수많은 사람 스쳐간 사랑

Love that countless people have passed through

사랑은 사랑으로 완벽할까

Can love be perfect just by loving?

그래 말야 이타적인 게 어쩌면 되려 이기적이네

Yeah, being selfless might actually be a bit selfish

널 위해 한다는 말은 곧 내 욕심이기에

When I say I do everything for you, it’s really my own desire

욕심을 버리면 행복해질 건가

If I let go of my greed, will I find happiness?

채우지 못한 반쪽짜리 허상

An unfulfilled, half-made illusion

삶은 저항과 복종 사이의 싸움이라는데

They say life’s a battle between resistance and submission

내가 보기에는 외로움들과의 싸움이네

But to me, it’s a fight against loneliness

눈물이 터져 나오면 그대 울어도 돼

When tears burst out, it’s okay to cry

당신은 사랑받기에도 이미 충분한데

You’re already enough to be loved

So time is yet now

So now is the only time I have

Right here to go

Right here, this is where I go

I know you know

I know you understand

Anything does know

You know everything

So time is yet now

So now is the only time I have

Right here to go

Right here, this is where I go

Nobody doesn’t know anymore

No one doesn’t know anymore

(이 곡에 대해서) 대부분 다

Most of all, about this song

"사람들한테 전달하고 싶은 이야기도 있지만,

"There are things I want to tell people, but

나 자신한테 이야기를 하는 것처럼 들린다”라는 이야기를 많이 들었거든요.

Many people say it sounds like I’m talking to myself.

사실이기도 하고요.

And that’s true, actually.

그 때 당시에 코로나로 여러가지 것들을 할 수 없을 때,

Back then, during the pandemic when I couldn’t do many things,

굉장히 '모든 것을 잃어버렸다'라고 생각을 했을 때

When I felt like I had lost everything

썼던 곡이기 때문에

That’s why I wrote this song

나 자신한테 해주고 싶었던 이야기였습니다.

It’s a message I wanted to tell myself.
