Jigeumeun areumdapgetjiman
Nalkaroun gasiro neol apeuge halgeol
Nae sarangeun saeppalgan rose
Geurae nan hyanggiropgetjiman

(Don't wanna hurt you)
The song "Rose" by Lee Hi is a heartbreaking ballad about the pain of an imminent breakup. The opening lines of the song "Nae sarangeun saeppalgan rose" translates to "My love is a red rose," symbolizing the beauty of love but also its thorns that cause pain. The chorus urges the person the singer is addressing to run away, to not love her anymore because she doesn't want to hurt them. Yet, the singer still clings to the hope of being with her beloved, promising that "If you come closer, I’ll hold you." The lyrics speak to the complexity of love and the fear of hurting someone you care about.
In the second verse, the song continues with the theme of the singer's fear of causing pain to her lover. She pleads with them to not be lured in by the beautiful aspects of love and that if their heart ever belongs to her, she promises to heal their pain. The lyrics of the bridge suggest a sense of futility in holding onto the relationship. The singer's admiration of the other person's appearance and walking style contrasts with the pain that they are causing her. The metaphor of the rose is repeated with the line - "Every rose has it's thorn" - emphasizing the inevitability of pain in love.
Overall, "Rose" by Lee Hi presents a bittersweet portrayal of a love that has reached its end. The song highlights the complexity of emotions that come with loving someone, the fear of hurting someone, and the hope of still being together while begging the other to run away to avoid getting hurt.
