作词 : Kim jong chun

Composed by Choi Chul Ho/Kim Jong Chun

The sound of memories flows between my parched lips

I try and try to erase you, but my heart can’t forget you

...

Even if I can’t see you again, it’s heartbreaking

How can I forget you?

...

It feels like my heart is burned, like I’m cut by tears

These scars that won’t disappear torment me

I wonder if I’m even living, or if the world has abandoned me

The days feel like years, so long

When will morning ever come?

...

Lost in this endless wandering I can’t erase

How can I forget you?

...

It feels like my heart is burned, like I’m cut by tears

These scars that won’t disappear torment me

I wonder if I’m even living, or if the world has abandoned me

The days feel like years, so long

When will morning ever come?

...

Even a small sigh is beyond me

I comfort myself with a poor and weary heart

If this doesn’t work…

If I endure and it still doesn’t work…

What can turn back

My frozen steps?

...

It feels like my heart is burned

Like I’m cut by tears

These scars that won’t disappear torment me

I wonder if I’m even living, or if the world has abandoned me

The days feel like years, so long

When will morning ever come?

When will morning ever come?

作曲 : Choi chul ho/Kim jong chun

메마른 두 입술 사이로 흐르는 기억의 숨소리

지우려 지우려 해봐도 가슴은 널 잊지 못한다

서러워 못해 다신 볼순 없다 해도

어찌 너를 잊을까

가슴을 데인 것 처럼 눈물에 베인 것 처럼

지워지지 않는 상처들이 괴롭다

내가 사는것인지 세상이 나를 버린건지

하루가 일년처럼 길구나

그언제나 아침이 올까

지울수 없는 기나긴 방황속에서

어찌 너를 잊을까

가슴을 데인 것 처럼 눈물에 베인 것 처럼

지워지지 않는 상처들이 괴롭다

내가 사는것인지 세상이 나를 버린건지

하루가 일년처럼 길구나

그언제나 아침이 올까

작은 신음조차 낼수없을 만큼

가난하고 지친 마음으로 나를 달랜다

이걸로 안되면

참아도 안되면

얼어붙은 나의 발걸음을

무엇으로 돌려야 하나

가슴을 데인 것 처럼

눈물에 베인 것 처럼

지워지지 않는 상처들이 괴롭다

내가 사는것인지 세상이 나를 버린건지

하루가 일년처럼 길구나

그언제나 아침이 올까

그언제나 아침이 올까
