Praha
SBGB Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

어둠이 드리워지면
거리마다 이따금씩
줄지은 자동차와
가로등의 불꽃놀이

내일이 담긴 책장을 넘기면
눈앞에 일렁이는 이 장면이
어렴풋이 그린 그림이 될까
쉼 없이 바라봐요

프라하 어떤 영화에 비할까요
사랑이라 말해도 될까요
프라하 낭만을 노래해도 될까요
음악이라면 담을 수 있을까요

사흘을 머문 자그마한 기억은
내 머릿속을 온통 헤집어 놓고
문득 떠오르는 마음 저릿한
추억으로 남겠지요

프라하 어떤 영화에 비할까요
사랑이라 말해도 될까요
프라하 낭만을 노래해도 될까요
음악이라면 담을 수 있을까요

프라하 문득 그대가 그리워지면
이 노래를 불러볼 거예요




프라하 언젠가 다시 만나줄래요
지금 이 모습으로 있어 줄래요
