Heartbreaking love (지독하게 가슴 아픈 사랑)

• Par: ZIA

Paroles:

[한국어]

[English]

참 사랑이란 왜 이리 아프기만 한지

Why is it that love is always so painful?

애써 꾹 참으려 해도 눈물이 핑 돌아

Even when I try hard to hold it in, tears well up.

구름 한 점 없는 햇살에 웃어보지만

I try to smile in the cloudless sunshine,

나도 모르게 더 가슴이 시려

but without knowing it, my heart grows colder.

헝 아름다웠던 모든 기억들 애써 감추며

Trying hard to hide all the beautiful memories,

바쁘게 지냈는데 웬 물이 나

I've been keeping busy, but why am I like this?

지독하게 가슴 아픈 사랑

This heartbreaking love,

지나 버린 기억 여전히 더 떠올라

the memories of the past still come to mind.

아직까지 난 너의 품에서 흐느끼고 있는데

Even now, I'm still sobbing in your arms,

미치도록 니가 그리워서 우리 지난

I miss you so much it's driving me crazy, so I try to bring back our past,

추억 꺼내 보려 해봐도

Even if I try to take out our memories,

이미 사라져 버린

they've already disappeared.

너무 사랑했던 너와 나

You and I, who loved each other so much.

참 오래 걸렸어 너라는 적을

It took so long to erase you, who was like an enemy.

지워 내는 게 이토록 어려울 줄

I didn't know it would be this hard.

그땐 몰랐어

I didn't know back then.

지독하게 가슴 아픈 사랑

This heartbreaking love,

지나 버린 기억 여전히 더 떠올라

the memories of the past still come to mind.

아직까지 난 너의 품에서 흐느끼고 있는데

Even now, I'm still sobbing in your arms,

미치도록 니가 그리워서 우리 지난

I miss you so much it's driving me crazy, so I try to bring back our past,

추억 꺼내 보려 해봐도

Even if I try to take out our memories,

아무 소용없는 걸 떠오르니까

it's no use, because I keep remembering.

이 사랑을 놓아 버려

Let go of this love,

애를 써 봐도

Even if I try,

지우려 노력해도

Even if I try to erase it,

지울 수 없는 연필 자국 같아

it's like a pencil mark that can't be erased.

그저 그런 사랑이었다고 했어

I told myself it was just a so-so love,

달래 봐도 눈물이 흐르잖아

but even if I try to soothe myself, the tears keep flowing.

너를 향한 그리움은 반대로

My longing for you, on the contrary,

더 커져 가는데

is growing bigger.

미치도록 니가 보고 싶어 우리 지난

I miss you so much it's driving me crazy, so I try to bring back our past,

추억 꺼내 보려 애써도

Even if I struggle to take out our memories,

이미 사라져 버린

they've already disappeared.

너무 사랑했던 너와 나

You and I, who loved each other so much.
