4. Familiar Face (Jeeoonulgoo)
Korean Romanization
English Translation
I don't know who it is, that sad face in my memories.
I can't seem to remember, even though it's spinning in my head.
I can't know who she is or why she's crying,
but because, in a corner of my heart somewhere, it keeps going numb--I can't breathe.
I want to hold onto her. I want to ask who she is,
but as I get closer and hold out my hand,
everything disappears--like a dream.
Tears keep coming. They come without me even knowing.
Might it be an erased separation that hurt too much?
Today too--without fail--that girl's appearance in front of me is
getting mad at me, saying, 'this is the end,' as she turns around coldly.
I want to hold onto her. I want to ask who she is,
but as I get closer and hold out my hand,
everything disappears, like a dream.
Thinking that everything would disappear from my memory,
It was my mistake to believe that.
Now I know that what I wanted to forget was you.
Your face that was beside me for so long,
Your face that I loved so much.
("I'm sorry that I forgot. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you inside me.
As much as I hurt you when we broke up,
My heart must have hurt just as much.
Every time your face popped up,
Each time you appeared,
I couldn't bear it-- so much so that I had to erase you.")
I wanted to erase your tears--and even your smile,
And bury you somewhere far away--so I couldn't remember.
I wanted to erase your tears--and even your smile,
and bury you somewhere far away--so I couldn't remember...
