The Letter

편지 / Pyeonji / The Letter


유난히 부은 두 눈이
yunanhi bueun du nuni
Your eyes look especially puffy today

혹시 밤새 울었는지
hoksi bamsae ureonneunji
I wonder if you cried all night

전할 것 있다 짧게 끊은 어제 전화
jeonhal geot itda jjarpge kkeunheun eoje jeonhwa
You said you had something to tell me and quickly hung up

또 불안한 지금
tto buranhan jigeum
Right now, I’m getting nervous again




넌 금방 이라도 울어 버릴 것 같아
neon geumbang irado ureo beoril geot gata
It looks like you’ll start crying at any time again

아무 말 못 걸겠잖아
amu mal mot geolgetjanha
So I can’t even say anything to you

던지듯 내 손 꼭 쥐어 준 채로
deonjideut nae son kkok jwieo jun chaero
You tightly held my hand as if you were going to throw it

네가 사라진 뒤
nega sarajin dwi
Then after you disappeared…




미친 듯 써 내려간 한 장의 편질 이제야 읽어봤어
michin deut sseo naeryeogan han jangui pyeonjil ijeya ilgeobwasseo
I finally read the letter that looks like you scribbled down crazily

나도 미친 듯이 따라가서 널 불러 보지만
nado michin deusi ttaragaseo neol bulleo bojiman
I wanted to crazily follow you and call out to you but

찬바람 싸늘하게 코 끝을 스치며 나에게 말해줘
chanbaram ssaneulhage ko kkeuteul seuchimyeo naege malhaejwo
The cold wind passes through my nose and tells me

너는 가고 없다고 보내주라고
neoneun gago eopdago bonaejurago
That you have left, that you are gone, that I should let you go




낯 설은 이 아침 햇살
nat seoreun i achim haessal
The morning sun feels so unfamiliar

네가 없는 하루하루
nega eomneun haruharu
Each day that you’re not here

사랑했지만 사랑만으론 부족한
saranghaetjiman sarangmaneuron bujokhan
We were in love but just love was not enough

너와 나 우리
neowa na uri
For you and me, for us




난 금방 이라도 눈물 흘릴 것 같아
nan geumbang irado nunmul heullil geot gata
It looks like I’ll start crying at any time again

그때가 생각 나잖아
geuttaega saenggak najanha
I keep remembering that day

던지듯 내 손 꼭 쥐어 준 채로
deonjideut nae son kkok jwieo jun chaero
When you tightly held my hand as if you were going to throw it

네가 떠나던 날
nega tteonadeon nal
And left me




미친 듯 써 내려간 한 장의 편질 이제야 읽어봤어
michin deut sseo naeryeogan han jangui pyeonjil ijeya ilgeobwasseo

너는 가고 없다고 보내주라고 보내주라고
neoneun gago eopdago bonaejurago bonaejurago
That you have left, that you are gone, that I should let you go, let you go
