Farewell Under the Sun
박진영 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
엉엉 울면서
서로를 한 번 꽉 안아 보고서
잘해준 게 하나도 없어
맘이 아프다며
서로의 눈물을 닦아 주었어
시간이 한참 지나고 나서
그때 친구로 다시 만나서
서로의 곁에 있어 주잔
말을 남기고서
마지막으로 한번 안아봤어
햇살이 밝아서
햇살이 아주 따뜻해서
눈물이 말랐어
생각보단 아주 빨리
죽을 것 같아서
정말 숨도 못 쉬었었어
근데 햇살이 밝아서
햇살이 밝아서 괜찮았어
헤어지기 직전에 그만
참지를 못하고
아주 바보 같은 질문을 했어
우리 혹시 헤어지지 않으면 안 되냐고
이제 얘기를 다 끝낸 후인데
그러자 너도 바보같이
대답을 못하고
멍하니 나만 바라보고 있어
우린 알고 있어서
너무 잘 알고 있어서
헤어지기가 너무 두려운 거야
햇살이 밝아서
햇살이 아주 따뜻해서
눈물이 말랐어
생각보단 아주 빨리
죽을 것 같아서
정말 숨도 못 쉬었었어
근데 햇살이 밝아서
햇살이 밝아서 괜찮았어
햇살이 밝아서
아픔을 잊을 수 있었어
햇살이 밝아서
눈물을 멈출 수 있었어
햇살이 밝아서
하늘이 너무 고마웠어
햇살이 밝아서
햇살이 밝아서 괜찮았어
Hoo-ooh, hoo-yeah
Yeah-yeah
Hoo-nah-ah
Ooh-ooh
The lyrics of 박진영's song "Farewell Under The Sun" depict a bittersweet emotion of parting ways with someone. The song begins with the exchange of final greetings, crying and holding each other tightly. There is a sense of regret as the singer realizes that they haven't done anything good for each other. They comfort each other, wiping away each other's tears, trying to alleviate the pain they feel in their hearts.
As time passes and they start to feel better, they express a desire to meet again as friends and leave a message for each other, promising to embrace one more time before parting. The bright sun acts as a symbol of hope and warmth, gradually drying their tears. The singer, however, expresses a sense of desperation, feeling that they might die faster than expected due to the emotional turmoil. Despite this fear, the bright sunshine provides some solace and comfort.
In the moments before their separation, the singer can't hold back their curiosity and asks a foolish question if they can't possibly stay together. The response is silence and a longing gaze from the other person. Both of them understand the truth deep inside and the fear of saying goodbye, which makes the separation even more difficult.
The overall theme of the song revolves around the pain of parting, the healing power of time and sunshine, and the fear of letting go. It portrays the complex emotions involved in saying farewell to someone you deeply care about.

잘해준 게 하나도 없어
There was not a single thing done well
맘이 아프다며
Saying that the heart hurts
서로의 눈물을 닦아 주었어
Wiping each other's tears
시간이 한참 지나고 나서
After a long time has passed
괜찮아지면
When it becomes alright
그때 친구로 다시 만나서
Meeting as friends again at that time
서로의 곁에 있어 주잔
Being by each other's side
말을 남기고서
Leaving words behind
마지막으로 한번 안아봤어
Hugging one last time
햇살이 밝아서
Because the sun is shining brightly
햇살이 아주 따뜻해서
Because the sun is very warm
눈물이 말랐어
The tears have dried up
생각보단 아주 빨리
Faster than expected
죽을 것 같아서
Feeling like dying
정말 숨도 못 쉬었었어
Couldn't even breathe
근데 햇살이 밝아서
But because the sun is shining brightly
괜찮았어
It was okay
헤어지기 직전에 그만
Right before breaking up
참지를 못하고
Couldn't hold back
아주 바보 같은 질문을 했어
Asked a very foolish question
우리 혹시 헤어지지 않으면 안 되냐고
Asking if it's not possible for us to not break up
이제 얘기를 다 끝낸 후인데
Now that the conversation is over
그러자 너도 바보같이
Then you, like a fool
대답을 못하고
Couldn't answer
멍하니 나만 바라보고 있어
Just staring at me blankly
우린 알고 있어서
We know it
너무 잘 알고 있어서
We know it very well
헤어지기가 너무 두려운 거야
Breaking up is too scary
아픔을 잊을 수 있었어
Could forget the pain
눈물을 멈출 수 있었어
Could stop the tears
하늘이 너무 고마웠어
The sky was so thankful
햇살이 밝아서
Because the sun is shining brightly
햇살이 밝아서 괜찮았어
Because the sun is shining brightly, it was okay
