First Love

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
참 맑았던 그 시절에 내 맘 속에 묻기엔 너무 아쉬워
우린 그때 아직 어렸고 서툰 바램은 외로움과 싸웠고
뜻 모를 우리 선택의 길에 다시 또 못 올 줄을 몰랐네
수많은 밤 같은 길 헤매다
결국 내가 찾아낸 건
그리던 해답 없었네
눈이 오던 겨울밤에 오 나를 눈물 적셔
멀어지던 그 모습에 가슴 속에 묻기엔 너무 벅차네
비 오는 나의 그 거리엔 기억이 나를 적셔주고
참 맑았던 그 시절에 내 맘 속에 묻기엔 너무 아쉬워
아끼지 않았던 미련들 철없이 떠난 나의 첫사랑
무엇을 찾아 헤매었는지
알 수 없지만 그리움에 찾네
이제 아는 건 처음부터
우리를 안아 돌보네
흘러가지만 우리만 아는 그곳 영원히 그리웁겠네
눈이 오던 겨울밤에 오 나를 눈물 적셔
멀어지던 그 모습에 가슴 속에 묻기엔 너무 벅차네
The lyrics to Cho Yong Pil's song "First Love" depict the nostalgia and longing for a past love. The rainy streets of the singer's memories bring back the emotions and make him feel regretful about burying his feelings during that clear and beautiful time. At that time, they were young and inexperienced, and their naive hopes clashed with loneliness. They didn't know they wouldn't be able to return to the path they chose without understanding its meaning.
The lyrics also mention wandering countless nights on the same path, only to realize that the only thing he found was his own footprints. There were no answers to the questions he had, and it was frustrating. On a snowy winter night, tears come to his eyes when he remembers the distance that grew between them. It's overwhelming to keep these emotions buried in his heart.
The singer reflects on his first love, the innocent and precious remnants of a past relationship that he didn't cherish enough. He doesn't know what he was searching for or why he was lost, but he continues to yearn for that love. Now, all he knows is that from the beginning, that love embraced and cared for them. Despite time passing, there will always be a place in their hearts that only they know, where the longing for that first love will forever remain.
