약속
Sechskies Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

오랫동안 바라보고 왔다고
이제는 떠나가야 한다고
그러는 네가 보고 싶어 눈물 흘러
지금 너에게 부탁하고 갈게

나 떠난 후 기억하길 바랄게
언제나 함께했던 순간들
영원히 간직하고 싶은 내 바람을

그 후 절대로 잊어서는 안 돼

나 예전 그 모습
그대로만 기억해줄 수는 없겠니
다시 또 볼 수가 있다면
말하던 내 모습 기억한다고

떠나야 하는 이런 나 싫긴 하지만
지금 한번 눈감아 용서하겠니
네가 줬던 그 모든 사랑 지고 가지만
나 항상 너만을 영원히 기억해

나 예전 그 모습
그대로만 기억해 줄 수는 없겠니
다시 또 볼 수가 있다면
말하던 내 모습 기억한다고

떠나야 하는 이런 나 싫긴 하지만
지금 한번 눈감아 용서하겠니
네가 줬던 그 모든 사랑지고 가지만
나 항상 너만을 영원히 기억해

행여나 다시 한번의 이별 볼 때면
다신 우리 헤어지잔 말 말자고

너와 함께 지냈던 시간 소중하다면
네 맘 속 한 곳에 영원히 간직해

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of SECHSKIES's "약속" (Promise) speaks of a painful farewell. The singer has been watching the subject of the song for a long time, but now realizes that it is time to leave. Despite this, the singer still wants to see the person they are leaving behind, leading to tears. The singer promises to always remember the moments they've shared, and never forget the love they've received. They ask for forgiveness and express that they hate the idea of leaving, but must do so. The song closes with a plea to keep the memories of their time together treasured in the subject's heart.

The power of the lyrics lies in how they capture the pain and sadness of having to leave someone you love. The use of language effectively captures the complexity of emotions involved in leaving – the reluctance to depart, the desire to hold on to memories, and the need to move on. The song's music video, which showed a man and a woman dancing in a deserted landscape with hints of romantic tension, perfectly captured the essence of the song.

오랫동안 바라보고 왔다고
I've been watching for a long time

이제는 떠나가야 한다고
But now I have to go

그러는 네가 보고 싶어 눈물 흘러
I'll miss you and cry as you say goodbye

지금 너에게 부탁하고 갈게
Before I leave, I have one request

나 떠난 후 기억하길 바랄게
After I'm gone, I hope you remember

언제나 함께했던 순간들
All the moments we shared together

영원히 간직하고 싶은 내 바람을
My wish to always remember them forever

그 후 절대로 잊어서는 안 돼
Never forget it afterwards

나 예전 그 모습
The way I used to be

그대로만 기억해줄 수는 없겠니
You can't remember me just as I was

다시 또 볼 수가 있다면
But if we can meet again
