Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Warm sunlight, a thread connecting us all

The sound of the train, pushing away my dizzy mind

Love for you, beyond any doubt

Someone's missing you, smiling at the thought of you

What did you hate so much?

You didn't have to be alone like that

Even if you forget it over and over, I'll find it for you

Even if you wander far away in the meantime

We're running like this, going crazy at the end

Someday, he must have had a dream too

The loneliness left behind the hatred that's already gone

Realizing it was all meaningless

If possible, I want you and me to smile side by side too

I'm glad that, the scar you left and

Differently, I'm still just grateful

Again, when the sun sets and we go into the shade

I really want to be by his side and be there for him

Sometimes, I hate everyone too

Sometimes, I feel like I'm alone everywhere

Maybe I've closed it off

That thought suddenly flings open the window

We're running like this, going crazy at the end

Someday, he must have had a dream too

The loneliness left behind the hatred that's already gone

Realizing it was all meaningless

If possible, I want you and me to smile side by side too

With everyone who's passed by

And everyone we'll meet in the future

If possible, I want you and me to smile side by side too

...

[Korean]

따스한 일광 서로를 이어놓은 실

어지런 맘을 따돌리는 전철 소리

의심할 수도 없이 널 향한 사랑

누군간 널 그리며 미소 지을 텐데

뭐가 그리 미웠던 거야?

그렇게 넌 혼자가 아니어도 되잖아

몇 번이고 잊어도 되찾아줄게

그 사이에 멀리 떠나도

우리가 이렇게 내달려 끝에 미치도록

언젠가 그도 분명히 꿈이 있었을 테니까

이미 지나가버린 미움 뒤 남은 혼자가

아무 의미 없단 걸 알게 돼버려서

가능하다면 너와 나도 나란히 웃고 싶어

다행이더라 네가 남긴 상처와

달리 여전히 나는 고마울 뿐이라

또 해를 감아 그늘에 들어갈 때

내가 꼭 그 곁에서 함께해 주고 싶어

가끔 모두가 싫어 나도

어떨 땐 어디든 나 혼자인 것 같아

혹시 닫아 놨을지도 모르겠다

란 마음이 창을 확 열면

우리가 이렇게 내달려 끝에 미치도록

언젠가 그도 분명히 꿈이 있었을 테니까

이미 지나가버린 미움 뒤 남은 혼자가

아무 의미 없단 걸 알게 돼버려서

가능하다면 너와 나도 나란히 웃고 싶어

지나간 모든 이들과

앞으로 만날 모두와

가능하다면 너와 나도 나란히 웃고 싶어

Key Grammar Structures

• 따스한 일광 서로를 이어놓은 실

  ➔ -(아/어) 놓다 : Completion of an action with a resulting state

  ➔ The structure "이어놓은" comes from "잇다" (to connect) + "-아/어 놓다". It indicates that the action of connecting has been completed and the state of being connected remains. The warm sunlight is like a thread that has already connected them together.

• 누군간 널 그리며 미소 지을 텐데

  ➔ -ㄹ/을 텐데 : Expressing speculation or presumption with a hint of uncertainty.

  ➔ The grammar "-ㄹ/을 텐데" expresses the speaker's speculation or assumption. Here, it means "Someone might be smiling while missing you". The speaker is guessing that someone is likely thinking of the person and smiling.

• 그렇게 넌 혼자가 아니어도 되잖아

  ➔ -(아/어)도 되다 : Permission or possibility

  ➔ "-아/어**도 되다**" means "it's okay to...", "you can...". In this context, it means "You don't have to be alone like that".

• 몇 번이고 잊어도 되찾아줄게

  ➔ -(아/어) 주다: To do something for someone (giving/doing a favor)

  ➔ "-아/어 주다" is used to indicate doing something for someone. Here, "되찾아줄게" comes from "되찾다" (to recover, find back) + "-아/어 주다". So, it means "I will find it back for you", conveying the speaker's willingness to help.

• 우리가 이렇게 내달려 끝에 미치도록

  ➔ -(도)록: to the extent that; so that; until

  ➔ The grammar "-(도)록" means "to the extent that" or "so that". In this sentence, "미치도록" means "to the point of being crazy" or "insanely". It emphasizes the degree to which they are running.

• 이미 지나가버린 미움 뒤 남은 혼자가

  ➔ -(아/어) 버리다: Completion of an action with a sense of relief or regret

  ➔ The grammar "-(아/어) 버리다" implies that an action has been completed, often with a sense of relief or regret. "지나가버린" comes from "지나가다" (to pass) + "-아/어 버리다". It means the hatred has completely passed, and the speaker is now reflecting on it.

• 아무 의미 없단 걸 알게 돼버려서

  ➔ -(게) 되다: Becoming/getting to do something (change of state). -(아/어)서: because/so

  ➔ "알게 돼버려서" combines "알게 되다" (to come to know, to realize) and "-아/어서" (because/so). The sentence structure implies the speaker realized it has no meaning, therefore...

• 다행이더라 네가 남긴 상처와

  ➔ -더라: Used to express something newly learned or recalled from past experience.

  ➔ The grammar "-더라" is used when the speaker has newly realized or remembered something from a past experience. Here, the speaker is expressing that it's fortunate, as they newly realize or recall it.
