장나라 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
사랑해요 그대 만질 수도 없는 사람이지만
힘들다는 말은 들었죠
슬픈 목소리 볼순 업었죠
내가 할 수 없는 그대 바램들 그댈 포기하게 하는 얘기들
그대 그렇게 힘든가요
기다리기 너무 지루한가요
그대에게 주기로 한 작은 선물은
견딜 수 있나요 내가 없는 세상의 하늘을
견딜 수 있나요 시린 아침 홀로 남은 시작을
그대 없는 젖은 가슴을 안고 살아야 하는 건가요
그대라도 왠찮기를 바래요
그대 아직 나의 사랑이니까
**하늘이 보내 준
***(내)사랑을 그토록 애태워 찾은 사랑을
더는 이해시킬힘도 참아낼 힘도
남아 있지않아 떠난 그댈 또 보내요
이별에는 서툰 우리였기에 쉽게 헤어질수 없었던거죠
그랬던 거겠죠 우리 더 많은 시간 지나면
이별할 수조차 없겠죠
**반복
The lyrics to 장나라's song 고백 depict a person who still loves their ex-partner deeply, although they are no longer together. The song speaks to the feeling of loving someone so much that it's painful to watch them move on and to accept that they may never come back. The singer talks about hearing how hard it is for their ex-partner without them and how they've been unable to forget about their wishes and dreams.
Throughout the song, the singer tells their ex-partner that they still love them despite not being able to hold onto them or give them what they want. They ask difficult questions about whether or not their ex-partner can handle living without them and if they're able to withstand the pain of starting over alone. The chorus of the song questions the ability to bear a life without the person they loved, asking if they're strong enough to handle the feeling of being left behind.
Overall, the lyrics to 고백 are touching and emotional, expressing the pain that comes with losing someone you love while holding onto the hope that maybe one day they'll come back.

사랑해요 그대 이젠 내가 아닌 그대지만
I love you, even though you are no longer mine.
사랑해요 그대 만질 수도 없는 사람이지만
I love you, even though I cannot touch you anymore.
힘들다는 말은 들었죠
I've heard you say it's hard.
슬픈 목소리 볼순 업었죠
You sound sad, but you won't show me.
내가 할 수 없는 그대 바램들 그댈 포기하게 하는 얘기들
I hear people telling you to give up on your dreams, and it breaks my heart.
그대 그렇게 힘든가요
Are you really that miserable?
기다리기 너무 지루한가요
Is waiting too dull for you?
그대에게 주기로 한 작은 선물은
This small gift that I promised to give you,
내 손에 있는데 그댄 이별을 주나요
Do you want me to give it to you now that we are apart?
견딜 수 있나요 내가 없는 세상의 하늘을
Can you bear the sky without me?
견딜 수 있나요 시린 아침 홀로 남은 시작을
Can you bear the cold mornings without me by your side?
그대 없는 젖은 가슴을 안고 살아야 하는 건가요
Do you have to live with a wet chest without me?
그대라도 왠찮기를 바래요
I hope you are doing okay, even without me.
그대 아직 나의 사랑이니까
You are still my love, even if we are apart.
하늘이 보내 준
The love that the sky sent us,
내 사랑을 그토록 애태워 찾은 사랑을
The love that we eagerly sought after and cherished,
더는 이해시킬힘도 참아낼 힘도
We no longer have the power to understand or endure.
남아 있지않아 떠난 그댈 또 보내요
We have nothing left, so we have to let go of each other again.
이별에는 서툰 우리였기에 쉽게 헤어질수 없었던거죠
We were inexperienced in breaking up, so it was difficult to separate easily.
그랬던 거겠죠 우리 더 많은 시간 지나면
But that's how it was, and maybe as time goes by,
이별할 수조차 없겠죠
We won't even come to the point of breaking up again.
