내가 그때 널 (내가 그때 널)
If I had held you then
잡았더라면 (잡았더라면)
If I had held you
너와 나 지금보다 행복했을까
Would you and I have been happier than now?
마지막에 널 (마지막에 널)
If I had embraced you at the end
안아줬다면 어땠을까 (어땠을까)
How would it have been?
Yo, check, 나의 옛사랑 옛사람
Yo, check, my old love, my old acquaintance
가끔 난 너의 안부를 속으로 묻는다
Sometimes, I silently ask about your well-being
그리고는 혼자 씩 웃는다
And then I laugh to myself
희미해진 그때의 기억을 빈 잔에 붓는다
I pour the faded memories of that time into an empty cup
잔이 차고 넘친다
The cup fills and overflows.
기억을 마신다 그 기억은 쓰지만 맛있다
I drink in memories, though bittersweet, they're a pleasure.
그 시절 우리의 도수는
Our intoxication back then was
거의 웬만한 독주보다 높았어
higher than any strong drink.
보고 또 봐도 보고팠어
Even upon seeing you again, I longed for you.
사랑을 해도 해도 서로에게 고팠어
Though we loved, we were still thirsty for each other.
목말랐어
I was parched.
참 우리 좋았었는데
We were truly happy back then.
헤어질 일이 없었는데
There was no thought of parting.
왜 그랬을까
Why did it have to be that way?
그 땐 사랑이 뭔지 몰랐어
At that time, I didn't know what love was.
사랑이 사랑인줄 몰랐어
I didn't know love was love.
혼자서 그려본다 헤어지지 않았더라면
I imagine alone what it would have been like if we hadn’t broken up.
어땠을까 (내가 그때 널) 어땠을까 (잡았더라면)
What would it have been like (if I had you back then)? What would it have been like (if I had held onto you)?
어땠을까 (너와 나 지금보다 행복했을까)
What would it have been like (would you and I have been happier than now)?
어땠을까 (마지막에 널) 어땠을까 (안아줬다면)
What would it have been like (if I had held you) at the end? What would it have been like (if I had embraced you)?
어땠을까 (너와 나 지금까지 함께 했을까)
What would it have been like (would you and I have been together until now)?
둘이 같이 꼴딱 밤새 맞이한 아침
The two of us welcomed the morning together until dawn.
홀딱 잠 깨 창문을 닫지
Waking up completely, I don’t close the window.
우리는 마치 창 밖의 참새처럼
We are like the sparrows outside the window,
잠들기 싫어하는 애처럼 초등학생처럼
Like a kid who doesn’t want to sleep, like an elementary school student.
아무도 없는데 아무도 모르게
No one is here, yet no one knows
아무도 못 듣게 귓속에 말을 해 말을 해
So no one can hear, I whisper in my ear, I whisper
그 시절 우리의 온도는
The warmth we had back then
거의 저 밑에 적도 보다 높았어
Was soaring high, even above the equator
성났어 감기도 아닌 것이 열났어
Furious, it wasn’t a cold but a fever
온몸의 어디든 귀를 갖다 대면은 맥박소리가
Wherever I place my ear on my body, I hear its pulse
귓가에 그 날의 너의 소리가
The sound of you from that day echoes in my ears
왜 그랬을까 그 땐 사랑이 뭔지 몰라서
Why did it happen, I didn’t know what love was back then
사랑이 사랑인 줄 몰랐어
I didn’t realize what love really was
혼자서 그려본다 헤어지지 않았더라면
Alone, I imagine what it would be like if we hadn’t parted
어땠을까 (내가 그때 널) 어땠을까 (잡았더라면)
What would it have been like (if I had held you back then)
어땠을까 (너와 나 지금보다 행복했을까)
What would it have been like (would you and I have been happier than now)
어땠을까 (마지막에 널) 어땠을까 (안아줬다면)
What would it have been like (if I had embraced you)
어땠을까 (너와 나 지금까지 함께 했을까)
What would it have been like (would you and I have stayed together until now)
눈 앞에서 살진 않지만 눈 감으면 살고 있다
Though you don’t live before my eyes, I find you when I close them
다른 사람 품 안에서 같은 추억 하면서 (어땠을까)
In another's arms, sharing the same memories (what would it have been like)
내 곁에 있진 않지만 내 몸이 기억하고 있다
Though you’re not by my side, my body remembers you
다른 사람 품 안에서 같은 추억 하면서 (어땠을까)
In another's arms, sharing the same memories (what would it have been like)
왜 그랬을까 그 땐 사랑이 뭔지 몰라서(몰라서)
Why did it happen? Back then, I didn’t know what love was (didn’t know)
사랑이 사랑인 줄 몰랐어
I didn’t realize love was love itself
혼자서 그려본다 헤어지지 않았더라면
I draw alone what it would be like if we hadn't broken up,
어땠을까 (내가 그때 널) 어땠을까 (잡았더라면)
What would it have been like (if I had held onto you back then)?
어땠을까 (너와 나 지금보다 행복했을까)
What would it have been like (would we have been happier than we are now)?
어땠을까 (마지막에 널) 어땠을까 (안아줬다면)
What would it have been like (if I had held you in the end)?
어땠을까 (너와 나 지금까지 함께 했을까)
What would it have been like (would we have been together until now)?
