Haessari johassdeon geu nal
Geumanhajamyeo mareul haneun neo
Jeonhyeo mideojijiga anha
Jigeum isungan modeun sigani meomchun deus
On that day when the sunshine was good,
You said, “Let’s stop,”
But I don’t believe you at all,
At this moment, it feels like all time has stopped.
Eotteon mareul haeyahalji
Eotteon pyojeong jieoyahalji
Amugeosdo saenggaknajireul anha
What should I say?
What expression should I make?
I can’t think of anything.
Soljikhage malhaeseo na
Heeojil jasini eopseo
Gwaenchanheun cheok useumyeo neol
Bonaejul jasini eopseo
To be honest,
I don’t have the heart to break up with you.
I can’t pretend to be okay and
send you away.
Nega eopsneun nae haru
Harudo saenggakhan jeok eopsneunde
Naboda nareul niga deo jal almyeonseo
A day without you,
I’ve never thought about it,
But you know me better than I know myself.
Majimak insareul hamyeo
Meoreojyeoganeun neoreul bomyeo
Amugeosdo halsuissneun ge eopseo
As I say my last goodbye,
Watching you go farther away,
There’s nothing I can do.
Soljikhage malhaeseo na
Heeojil jasini eopseo
Gwaenchanheun cheok useumyeo neol
Bonaejul jasini eopseo
To be honest,
I don’t have the heart to break up with you.
I can’t pretend to be okay and
send you away.
Nega eopsneun nae haru
Harudo saenggakhan jeok eopsneunde
Naboda nareul niga deo jal almyeonseo
A day without you,
I’ve never thought about it,
But you know me better than I know myself.
Ibyeorape seo issneun neoui nune bichwojin
Aesseo usneun nae moseubi
Nareul deouk apeugemanhae
As I stand in front of you, facing the farewell,
The sight of me trying to smile
Only makes it hurt more.
Soljikhage malhalge na
Heeojigo sipji anha,neo eopsi na honjaseo
Jinael jasini nan eopseo
To be honest,
I don’t want to break up with you.
I can’t imagine being alone without you.
Nega eopsneun nae haru harudo,gyeondilsuga eopsneunde
Naboda nega meonjeoyeossdeon nal
Naboda nareul niga deo jal almyeonseo
A day without you,
I can’t bear it,
But you knew me better than I did.
