Wherever You Are
Han Donggeun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
행복하기는 했을까
수없이 너를 찾는 추억들
뒤로 한 채 안녕
한 발씩 멀어질수록
니 사랑은 더 선명히 보여
아파야 잊을까
더는 나를 걱정마
그만 이 손 놓아줘
너를 위할 수 있는 길이면
그 곳이 어디든 괜찮아
내가 멀리 떠나도
너무 슬프게 울지는마
약속해줘
눈부신 추억으로만
나란 사람 기억해준다고
너무도 그리울거야
다신 널 안아줄 순 없어도
익숙한 걸음마다 따라가
지켜줄테니까
더는 나를 걱정마
그만 이 손 놓아줘
너를 위할 수 있는 길이면
그 곳이 어디든 괜찮아
내가 멀리 떠나도
너무 슬프게 울지는마
약속해줘
눈부신 추억으로만
나란 사람 기억해준다고
함께 울고웃던 이 생에
못난 후회는 없어
내 사랑은
너의 가슴속에서
영원히 숨쉴테니까
눈멀도록 사랑해
내게 세상은 다 너였어
행복해줘 모진 운명에 아파도
떠나가는 나 웃을 수 있도록
Han Donggeun's song "Wherever You Are" is a powerful ballad about the intense longing and love between two people who have had to say goodbye. The lyrics begin by questioning whether the love and happiness they experienced together was just a dream, and reminiscing on the countless memories of searching for each other. The line "as I get further away step by step" suggests that while they may now be apart physically, their love has only become stronger and more vivid in their hearts. The chorus tells the other person not to worry about the singer leaving, as long as there is a path where they can help each other, wherever it may be, and to promise to remember the singer with fond memories. The final verse is a declaration of eternal love, promising to love always and that the other person will always be in the singer's heart, even if they can never be together again.
This song touches on many universal themes of love, loss, and longing, and the intense emotions one can feel when saying goodbye to someone they care deeply about. The lyrics also highlight the importance of memories and the impact they can have on us even after someone is gone. Overall, the song is a moving tribute to love and the power it has to transcend distance and time.

어디까지가 꿈일까
Wondering if it was all just a dream,
행복하기는 했을까
Questioning if it was truly happy,
수없이 너를 찾는 추억들
Endless memories of searching for you,
뒤로 한 채 안녕
Saying goodbye and leaving it all behind,
한 발씩 멀어질수록
Getting farther away with every step,
니 사랑은 더 선명히 보여
Seeing your love more clearly,
얼마나 가슴으로 붙잡고
Just how tightly it grips my heart,
아파야 잊을까
Wondering if the pain will ever fade away,
더는 나를 걱정마
Don't worry about me anymore,
그만 이 손 놓아줘
Just let go of my hand,
너를 위할 수 있는 길이면
If it means it's for your sake,
그 곳이 어디든 괜찮아
Anywhere is okay if it's for you,
내가 멀리 떠나도
Even if I have to go far away,
너무 슬프게 울지는마
Don't cry so sadly, please,
약속해줘
Promise me,
눈부신 추억으로만
To remember me with brilliant memories,
나란 사람 기억해준다고
That you'll remember me as I was,
너무도 그리울거야
I'll miss you so much,
다신 널 안아줄 순 없어도
Even if I can never hold you again,
익숙한 걸음마다 따라가
I'll follow in your familiar footsteps,
지켜줄테니까
Because I'll protect you,
함께 울고웃던 이 생에
In this life we laughed and cried together,
못난 후회는 없어
There are no regrets for our time,
내 사랑은
My love,
너의 가슴속에서
Will forever be in your heart,
영원히 숨쉴테니까
Because it will keep breathing forever,
눈멀도록 사랑해
I love you so much it blinds me,
내게 세상은 다 너였어
To me, the whole world was you,
행복해줘 모진 운명에 아파도
Even though fate was cruel, please be happy,
떠나가는 나 웃을 수 있도록
So that I can leave with a smile,

Hwarang is really awesome. At first, I only watch it because of V but when you really understand the flow of the story, it has a lots of lessons in it. I remembered when Dog-bird said, " No path started as a path. Someone must walk on it for it to become a path. You must pound and break the hard land and pierce through it for the water to flow out." It makes sense.
@apoloniaarca7389
I only watched it too because of V but I realized the story is so nice
@maria-zl7mt
I agree the story is amazing and there needs to be a season 2
@cherylabejar7769

@scarletfairy1556
Same and this drama put me into a rollercoaster of emotions. Although V died, it was a beautiful drama
@SuShuan
THIS WAS THE SONG THAT WAS PLAYING DURING THAT SCENE MY POOR HANSUNG I CAN'T STOP CRYING
@brookiesykes5216
Yeah sadly
@genaldvillanueva2239
this song was released before Hwarang even aired it's first episode and who would've known that this OST is a spoiler itself all along. never really thought of this one as a love song the first time I hear it. the melody is too heart wrenching, not fluttering and lyrically, it's like last words of someone saying goodbye for good. episode 18 made it clear that indeed, this is someone's farewell song... 😢😢💔💔
@taylornakata8130
your comment made me cry. (i know i'm writing this about two years after you commented but needed to say so) :'(
