[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.

문법:

• 참 사랑이란 왜 이리 아프기만 한지

  ➔ -(기)만 하다: only, just (emphasizes exclusivity). Used with verbs and adjectives.

  ➔ This sentence translates to 'Why is true love only painful like this?' The grammar `-(기)만 하다` emphasizes that the love is *only* painful.

• 애써 꾹 참으려 해도 눈물이 핑 돌아

  ➔ -려/으려 하다: To intend to, to try to. Indicates intention or attempted action.

  ➔ The sentence means 'Even if I try to suppress it, tears well up.' `참으려 하다` means 'try to suppress'.

• 웬 물이 나

  ➔ 웬: What kind of, what sort of, unexpected, surprising. Used to express bewilderment or questioning about something unexpected.

  ➔ This phrase translates to 'What water is this coming out?' or more idiomatically, 'Why am I crying?' `웬` indicates surprise or questioning.

• 지나 버린 기억 여전히 더 떠올라

  ➔ -아/어/여 지다: To become, to get (indicates a change in state)

  ➔ Meaning: "The memories that have passed are still coming up even more." The grammar `떠올라` comes from 떠오르다 (to come to mind, to recall) and with -아/어/여 지다 implies change and becoming even more prominent.

• 아직까지 난 너의 품에서 흐느끼고 있는데

  ➔ -고 있다: Present progressive tense. Indicates an ongoing action or state.

  ➔ The sentence means 'Even until now, I am sobbing in your arms.' `흐느끼고 있다` means 'am sobbing', indicating an ongoing action.

• 미치도록 니가 그리워서 우리 지난 추억 꺼내 보려 해봐도

  ➔ -아/어/여 보다: To try to do something, to attempt something.

  ➔ I miss you like crazy, even if I try to take out our past memories... '꺼내 보려 해봐도' contains the grammar pattern that means 'even if I try to...'

• 참 오래 걸렸어 너라는 적을 지워 내는 게 이토록 어려울 줄 그땐 몰랐어

  ➔ -는/은/ㄹ 줄 몰랐다: Didn't know, had no idea (expresses surprise or realization).

  ➔ It took so long. I didn't know it would be this difficult to erase you, an enemy, back then. The structure '-(으)ㄹ 줄 몰랐다' shows that the speaker didn't know something.
