• 가수: QWER

가사:

[한국어]

[English]

맑은 하늘에 비 내리는 날

On a day when rain falls from a clear sky

내 마음과 정말 닮아서 이상하네요

It's strange how much it resembles my heart

한 방울 한방울씩 떨어지는 비가

Each drop of rain falling

점점 맘에 차서 숨 쉬기가 힘들 것 같아요

Seems to fill my heart more and more, making it hard to breathe

(세상이) 아직은 무섭고

(The world) is still scary

(여전히) 넘어지는게 아직은 너무

(Still) falling down is still so

어려운가봐

Difficult, it seems

눈물 멈추는 법을 몰라요

I don't know how to stop my tears

차디차고 너무 아파요

It's so cold and it hurts so much

괜찮다는 말은 다 거짓말

All those 'I'm okay' words are lies

비가 내리는 여기 남겨져

Left here where the rain falls

혼자 울고 싶지 않아요

I don't want to cry alone

알려주세요

Please tell me

눈물을 참는 방법

How to hold back tears

하나 둘 한숨위로 차오른 슬픔이

One, two, the sadness that welled up with sighs

이제는 밖으로 다 쏟아져 넘칠 것 같아요

Feels like it's about to spill out completely now

(말해줘) 다 잘될거라고

(Tell me) that everything will be alright

(도와줘) 겁 많은 나라서

(Help me) because I'm so afraid

날 믿을 수 없을 땐, 어떡해야 하나요

When I can't trust myself, what should I do?

누구라도 말 해줘요

Someone, anyone, please tell me

넘어지는게 아직 너무 어려운가봐

Falling down is still too difficult, it seems

눈물 멈추는 법을 몰라요

I don't know how to stop my tears

차디차고 너무 아파요

It's so cold and it hurts so much

괜찮다는 말은 다 거짓말

All those 'I'm okay' words are lies

비가 내리는 여기 남겨져

Left here where the rain falls

혼자 울고 싶지 않아요

I don't want to cry alone

알려주세요

Please tell me

눈물을 참는 방법

How to hold back tears

(내리던 비가 그치고나면)

(Once the rain stops falling)

내일이 꼭 올테니까

Tomorrow will surely come

(각자의 때가 다 있는거지 내일이 또 올거야)

(Everyone has their own time - tomorrow will come again)

눈물 멈추는 법을 몰라도

Even if I don't know how to stop my tears

이런 내가 자꾸 미워도

Even if I keep hating myself like this

잠시 멈춰 눈물을 삼키고

I'll stop for a moment, swallow my tears

일기장 속에 적어 놓았던

On top of the words I wrote in my diary

‘잘 지내나요?’ 란 말 위에

'How are you doing?'

적어봐요

I'll write

‘이젠 잘 지낼게요’

'I'll be okay now'

잘 지낼게요

I'll be okay

(잘 버텼다!)

(You held on well!)

(난 네편이야, 온 세상이 불협일지라도)

(I'm on your side, even if the whole world is out of tune)

문법:

• 내 마음과 정말 닮아서 이상하네요

  ➔ -아서/어서 (cause/reason) and -네요 (exclamation/realization)

  ➔ "닮아서" uses "-아서/어서" to indicate the reason ("because it resembles..."), and "이상하네요" uses "-네요" to express a realization or exclamation ("it's strange!").

• 숨 쉬기가 힘들 것 같아요

  ➔ -기가 힘들다 (difficult to do) and -(으)ㄹ 것 같다 (seems like/looks like)

  ➔ "숨 쉬기가" uses "-기" to nominalize the verb "숨 쉬다" (to breathe) into "breathing," which is then combined with "힘들다" (to be difficult). "것 같아요" indicates conjecture ("it seems like").

• 넘어지는게 아직은 너무 어려운가봐

  ➔ -는 게 (nominalization) and -(으)ㄴ/는가 보다 (inference/seems like)

  ➔ "넘어지는게" (short for 넘어지는 것이) uses "-는 것" to turn the action "넘어지다" (to fall) into a noun phrase "the act of falling." "어려운가봐" uses "-(으)ㄴ/는가 보다" to express an inference or assumption ("it seems like it's difficult").

• 눈물 멈추는 법을 몰라요

  ➔ -는 법 (way/method of doing something)

  ➔ "-는 법" is attached to a verb stem to express "the way/method of doing [verb]." Here, "멈추는 법" means "the way to stop."

• 괜찮다는 말은 다 거짓말

  ➔ -다는 말 (indirect quotation of a statement)

  ➔ "-다는 말" is used to quote a statement indirectly, meaning "the words/statement that [verb/adjective]-s." Here, "괜찮다는 말" means "the words 'it's okay'."

• 비가 내리는 여기 남겨져

  ➔ -아/어지다 (passive voice)

  ➔ "-아/어지다" is added to a verb stem to form the passive voice, indicating that the subject is acted upon. Here, "남겨져" (from 남기다, to leave) means "to be left." "내리는" is a present descriptive verb, "raining."

• 날 믿을 수 없을 땐, 어떡해야 하나요

  ➔ -(으)ㄹ 수 없다 (cannot do) and -ㄹ 때 (when) and -아야/어야 하다 (should/must)

  ➔ "믿을 수 없을" combines "-(으)ㄹ 수 없다" (cannot believe) with "-ㄹ 때" (when). "어떡해야 하나요" uses "-아야/어야 하다" to express obligation or necessity ("what should I do?").

• 내일이 꼭 올테니까

  ➔ -(으)ㄹ 테니까 (reason based on speaker's intention, assumption, or certainty)

  ➔ "올테니까" combines the future tense marker "-(으)ㄹ" with "-테니까," which indicates a reason based on the speaker's strong assumption, intention, or certainty that something will happen. It implies "because tomorrow will surely come."

• 일기장 속에 적어 놓았던 ‘잘 지내나요?’ 란 말 위에

  ➔ -아/어 놓다 (doing something and leaving it in that state) and -았던 (past descriptive modifier) and -란 말 (short for ~이라는 말)

  ➔ "적어 놓았던" combines "-아/어 놓다" (to write and leave it there) with "-았던" (a modifier indicating a past action/state that has continued or whose result remains). "-란 말" is a shortened form of "-(이)라는 말" (the words/statement that...).
