Eternity
Seotaiji and boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
그대여, 슬퍼하지 마세요
나의 그리움이 항상 너를
지켜요, 날마다
함께 했었던 그 시간들이
내 눈앞에 아른거리지만
소중한 추억으로 남아서
그댈 이젠 다시 볼 순 없겠지만
내겐 가장 소중했었던 널 (가만히) 기다릴게
오늘도 나의 무덤 옆에서
그냥 그렇게 앉아 있네요
내 생전에 쓰던 일기장을
꼭 쥐고 앉아서
자, 두 눈을 감고 날 느껴봐요
두 손을 내밀어 날 안아요
이 세상이 나를 외면해도
그대가 있음에 난 잠시 머물 수 있어요
그댈 이젠 다시 볼 순 없겠지만
따스히 널 안아주던 날 기억해요 (기억해요)

내가 멀리 있다 느껴져도
Even though I may feel distant,
그대여, 슬퍼하지 마세요
Oh dear, please don't be sad
나의 그리움이 항상 너를
My longing will always be for you
지켜요, 날마다
Protecting you, every day
함께 했었던 그 시간들이
The times we spent together,
내 눈앞에 아른거리지만
Though they flicker before my eyes,
소중한 추억으로 남아서
They remain as precious memories,
미련 없이 나는 이 세계를 떠나요
Without regret, I leave this world
그댈 이젠 다시 볼 순 없겠지만
I may never see you again,
내겐 가장 소중했었던 널 (가만히) 기다릴게
But quietly, I'll wait for you, the most precious to me
오늘도 나의 무덤 옆에서
Today as well, by my grave,
그냥 그렇게 앉아 있네요
I simply sit there,
내 생전에 쓰던 일기장을
Clutching the diary I wrote in my life,
꼭 쥐고 앉아서
Holding onto it tightly
자, 두 눈을 감고 날 느껴봐요
Now, close your eyes and feel me
두 손을 내밀어 날 안아요
Reach out your hands and embrace me
이 세상이 나를 외면해도
Even if this world turns away from me,
그대가 있음에 난 잠시 머물 수 있어요
As long as you are there, I can stay for a moment
그댈 이젠 다시 볼 순 없겠지만
I may never see you again,
따스히 널 안아주던 날 기억해요 (기억해요)
But remember the day I warmly held you (remember)
