One and Only
Cornell C.C. Carter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
지금 고개 들면 넌 떠나갈 텐데
못난 걸음은 멈춰버리고
숨소리마저 달아난 듯 적막한 두려움 속에
결국 너를 놓치고 말겠지
널 그리면서 매일 울며 보내겠지
겨우 눈을 뜨고서 너를 보내면
하루도 못 살 것 같아
이제 난 하루살이
하루하루 내일도 잃어버린 채
너를 사랑했던 오늘만을 살고
내게 웃어 준 네 얼굴을 그리다
사라지겠지 어둠 속으로
너의 뒷모습만 내게 남아
날 원망하고 매일 취한 채 살겠지
그렇게도 기다린 봄은 오지만
나는 어쩌면 여기
너 없는 겨울에 갇힌 채 살아
겨우겨우 살아내도
사랑한 네가 없는데
여름 장마처럼 울다 보면 올까
낙엽 되어 내 마음 위로 내릴까
의미 없겠지 모든 계절의 난
너의 곁에 머물던 너를 사랑했던
너를 안았던 나의 마음을 기억해줘
하루하루 내일도 잃어버린 채
너를 사랑했던 오늘만을 살고
내게 웃어 준 네 얼굴을 그리다
사라지겠지 기억 속으로
The song "One and Only" by Cornell C.C. Carter is a heartbreaking song about a person who is deeply in love with someone who is leaving them. The lyrics describe the feelings of pain and fear that the person is going through as they try to come to terms with the fact that their loved one is leaving. The first two lines of the song set the tone with the words "슬픈 예감 앞에 굳게 감아진 두 눈" which translates to "My eyes are tightly closed in front of the sad premonition." The sense of impending loss is palpable and the lyrics suggest that the person knows deep down that their loved one is leaving, but doesn't want to confront this reality.
As the song progresses, the lyrics describe the person's feelings as they try to deal with the pain of losing their loved one. Lines like "하루하루 내일도 잃어버린 채" ("Day by day, losing tomorrow as well") and "너를 그리면서 매일 울며 보내겠지" ("I'll cry every day as I send you off while yearning for you") reveal the deep sense of loss and heartbreak that the person is going through. The lyrics suggest that the person will continue to love the one who is leaving, even as they try to move on with their life. The poignant refrain "내게 웃어 준 네 얼굴을 그리다 사라지겠지 어둠 속으로" ("I will draw your smiling face although you will disappear into the darkness") sums up the sense of loss that pervades the song, but also suggests that the person will always carry a part of their loved one with them.
Overall, "One and Only" is a deeply emotional song that speaks to the pain of lost love and the struggle to move on. The lyrics are beautifully written, with a sense of emotional depth that is sure to resonate with anyone who has experienced heartbreak.

슬픈 예감 앞에 굳게 감아진 두 눈
My eyes are tightly shut in front of a sad premonition
지금 고개 들면 넌 떠나갈 텐데
If I lift my head now, you will leave
못난 걸음은 멈춰버리고
My ugly steps come to a halt
숨소리마저 달아난 듯 적막한 두려움 속에
In the silence, a fear that steals even my breath
결국 너를 놓치고 말겠지
In the end, I will lose you
널 그리면서 매일 울며 보내겠지
Everyday I will cry while thinking of you
겨우 눈을 뜨고서 너를 보내면
When I finally open my eyes and let you go
나는 어쩌면 나는 어쩌면
What will become of me, what will become of me
하루도 못 살 것 같아
It feels like I won't be able to live a single day
이제 난 하루살이
Now, I only live from day to day
하루하루 내일도 잃어버린 채
Day by day, losing tomorrow as well
너를 사랑했던 오늘만을 살고
I live only for the love I had for you today
내게 웃어 준 네 얼굴을 그리다
I draw a picture of your face that once made me smile
사라지겠지 어둠 속으로
You will disappear into the darkness
너의 뒷모습만 내게 남아
Only your back remains with me
날 원망하고 매일 취한 채 살겠지
I will live resenting myself, and intoxicated every day
그렇게도 기다린 봄은 오지만
Even the awaited spring will come
나는 어쩌면 여기
But here I am
너 없는 겨울에 갇힌 채 살아
Living trapped in a winter without you
겨우겨우 살아내도
Even if I manage to barely survive
사랑한 네가 없는데
Without the love of you whom I loved
여름 장마처럼 울다 보면 올까
Would I be able to cry like the summer monsoon and move on
낙엽 되어 내 마음 위로 내릴까
Or would I become a falling leaf, bringing comfort to my heart
의미 없겠지 모든 계절의 난
It would be meaningless, the difficulties of every season
너의 곁에 머물던 너를 사랑했던
I loved you, who stayed by my side
너를 안았던 나의 마음을 기억해줘
Please remember my heart that embraced you
하루하루 내일도 잃어버린 채
Day by day, losing tomorrow as well
너를 사랑했던 오늘만을 살고
I live only for the love I had for you today
내게 웃어 준 네 얼굴을 그리다
I draw a picture of your face that once made me smile
사라지겠지 기억 속으로
You will disappear into my memories
