September 12th
Rain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

이별 앞에선 어느 누구도 당당해질 수가 없겠죠
나도 그랬죠
마음 찢어지고 이를 악물고 대답했죠
헤어지자고 니 말대로 난 한다고
나는 멋지게 이별의 말 뱉었죠
나보다 좋은 사람을 찾아가라고 겉으론 그렇게 말했죠

난 울며 너를 기다려
우리 함께 했던 날
추억 담긴 그 침대 위에서 그대는
방문을 열고 어김없이 날 찾아오겠죠
넌 내 인생의 전부니까

기억하니 넌 9월12일 그때를
평생잊을 수 없는 말을 했잖아
서롤 믿으며 시작을 해보자던 말 난 그때를 잊을수 없어

난 울며 너를 기다려
그대 환한 웃음을 난 아직도 표현하지 못했지만
진심으로 난 나에게 그대 뿐이였었죠
세상 하나 뿐인 나의 너

돌아오라는 건 아니야 나는
너는 진짜 행복해야 돼
니가 나 때문에 흘린 눈물이 내 가슴을 자꾸 져며와
행복해

난 울며 용서를 빌어
너를 힘들게 하는
느끼겠니 난 이제서야 바보같은 맘을 전하네
듣고 있는 네게 다시 말을 해




난 아직도 너의 남자야
사랑했어 너의 모든 것

Overall Meaning

The song is about a painful breakup and the difficulty of being brave in the face of it. The singer talks about how nobody can be truly confident in front of a breakup and how he struggled to keep his composure during the difficult conversation. He tried to act tough and told his ex to go find someone better, but in reality, he was waiting and hoping for her to come back to him. He remembers a specific date, September 12th, when they made promises to start anew and believes that they should honor that promise. He confesses that he still loves her and wants to make amends.


One interesting aspect of the song is that it was released shortly after Rain's own difficult breakup with actress Kim Tae-hee. This has led some fans to speculate that the song is autobiographical and based on Rain's own experiences. Another interesting fact is that it was written by Park Jin-young, a singer and producer who has collaborated with Rain on several albums. The song's melody is slow and melancholy, with an emotional piano and string arrangement. The lyrics are straightforward and express the singer's raw emotions, making it a powerful ballad about lost love.

Do you remember? On September 12th, you said words that I will never forget for the rest of my life

난 아직도 너의 남자야 사랑했어 너의 모든 것
I am still your man. I loved everything about you
