Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
아는 체도 못하고 고갤 돌린채로 우린 그냥 서로 외면했지
선뜻 보낸 모습에 아이의 손을 잡고서
단란해 보이는 가정을 서로 바라보며 지나쳤었지
7년이란 시간이 흘러 나 그렇게도 보고싶던 그댈 봤는데
말한마디 못건넨채로 집에 보내고 아쉬운 마음에 난 자꾸 뒤돌아보고 돌아봤지
사랑했기에 너무 그리웠었어 그대를 잊지 못해 많이 울었었는데
짧은 순간이었어 익숙한 그대 목소리
혹시하는 마음에 고갤 돌렸는데 우린 눈이 마주쳤던거야
소용없는 눈빛을 어떻게 해야할지 몰라
그때 어디선가 그댈 부르며 아이가 그대 손을 잡았지
7년이란 시간이 흘러 나 그렇게도 보고싶던 그댈 봤는데
말한마디 못건낸채로 집에 보내고 아쉬운 마음에 난 자꾸 뒤돌아보고 돌아봤지
사랑했기에 너무 그리웠었어 그대를 잊지 못해 많이 울었었는데
7년이 지나간 지금 우리 모습은 잊혀진 추억으로 서로 느낄뿐
사랑했기에 너무 그리웠었어 그대를 잊지 못해 많이 울었었는데
7년이 지나간 지금 우리 모습은 잊혀진 추억으로 서로 느낄뿐
These lyrics are from the song "7 Years of Love" by Cho Kyu-hyun. The song portrays a moment of unexpected reunion between two people who were once in love but have since drifted apart. The lyrics suggest that when they first saw each other, they were overwhelmed and turned their heads away, avoiding eye contact. They both seem to have moved on and have established their own separate lives, represented by the mention of a seemingly peaceful family scene they witnessed while passing by each other.
The first paragraph highlights the disconnect between the two individuals as they deny their familiarity with each other. The singer describes not being able to even say a word before leaving, feeling regret and continuously looking back. The lyrics emphasize the longing and inability to forget the person they once loved, as the passing of seven years has not diminished these feelings. Instead, the memories of their love have become distant but still deeply felt.
In the second paragraph, the lyrics describe a brief encounter where they hear the voice of their past love and instinctively turn their heads, locking eyes. The singer expresses confusion about how to deal with this situation, as their eye contact feels empty and useless. It is then revealed that they were together when a child called out to the other person, holding their hand. This further emphasizes that their love still lingers, even though they have been apart for seven years.
In the third paragraph, similar to the first, the lyrics reflect on the regret of not being able to say anything and the lingering feelings of longing and inability to forget the person they still love. The passing of time has not diminished these emotions; instead, it has turned their relationship into a forgotten memory, something they can only perceive when reminiscing about the past.
The final lines of the song repeat the sentiments expressed in the previous paragraphs, reiterating that their love was so strong that it caused deep longing and many tears shed. The passage of seven years has only solidified their recognition of each other through the fading memories they shared. Though they may have moved on separately, the love they once had remains a powerful presence that they still feel.
