울지 말아요 내 사랑아
더 많은 시간이 있으니까
아주 조금만 이대로 곁에 있어요
내가 기억할 수 있게

말하지 않아도 나는 알아요
우린 항상 그래 왔으니까
사랑하는 만큼 그대가 행복하다면

나 기꺼이 그댈 보내요

약속해요
언젠가는 돌아올 거라고
나 없이도 행복 할거라고
오랜시간 동안 힘들어 하는 그대
더이상 볼 수 없네요

말하지 않아도 나는 알아요
우린 항상 그래 왔으니까
사랑하는 만큼 그대가 행복하다면
나 기꺼이 그대 보내요

약속해요
언젠가는 돌아올 거라고
나 없이도 행복 할거라고
오랜 시간 동안 힘들어 하는 그대
더이상 볼수가

미안해요
그댈 지켜줄 수가 없네요
이렇게 또 그댈 울리네요
모든걸 버리고

다시 만난 그댈 또 보내야만 해요
약속해요

Overall Meaning

The song "Moment" by Ryu is a heartfelt ballad about a person who is saying goodbye to their loved one. The lyrics express the singer's deep love for their partner and their desire to be with them forever, but they also come to terms with the reality that sometimes love means letting go. The opening lyrics "don't cry, my love, there's more time" show the singer's attempt to comfort their partner even though they know they are about to leave.

The chorus of the song focuses on the promise that they will come back someday, but the singer acknowledges that they may not be able to keep that promise. They suggest that even if they are not together, their partner will still be happy, and they will find ways to be happy too. The phrase "we always been like this" seems to suggest that this is not the first time the pair have faced separation, perhaps due to distance or other circumstances.

The second verse is a repetition of the first, with some slight variations to emphasize the idea that the singer is aware of their partner's pain and wants to alleviate it. The line "I'm sorry I can't protect you" is particularly poignant, as it suggests that the singer feels responsible for their partner's well-being in some way. The final lines of the song repeat the promise to come back, but with a sense of finality that suggests the singer knows they may not be able to. Overall, the song is a powerful expression of love and farewell, and its melody and lyrics are sure to resonate with anyone who has ever had to say goodbye to someone they love.
