さよならひとり
Taemin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hmm, hmm
언제나 내 품 안에 너만을 감싸 안고
같이 걸어갈 수만 있다면
너를 본 내 눈앞에 나를 본 네 눈 속에
서로 가야 할 미래가 있어

등을 돌린 채로 멀어지는
우리 날들과 크게 손 흔들고
타다만 촛불처럼 어두워진
눈앞을 쓸쓸히 걸어가

떨어지는 꽃잎이 마치 인사하듯이
외로운 눈물로 미소 짓고 있어
안녕 나의 사랑이 홀로 슬프지 않게
이 세상 속에서 환히 피어난 꽃이여

멀리서 넌 나를 기다릴 걸 믿어
너를 데리러 와 줄 거라고
내일의 너와 내가 어디에 있는대도
시린 시간은 지나가겠지

언젠가 다가올 이별 끝을
두려워하며 곁에 머문 것보다
서로를 끌어안는 꿈을 꾸는 지금이
더욱 행복한 걸까

흩날리는 꽃잎이 마치 인사하듯이
외로움 속에서 미소 짓고 있어
안녕 나의 사랑이 홀로 슬프다 해도
난 결코 너에게 닿을 수도 없는데

안녕 나의 사랑이 너를 끌어안듯이
이 가슴 안에서 찬란히 피어나
안녕 나의 사랑이 홀로 슬프지 않게
이 세상 속에서 가장 빛나는 꽃이여

Uh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
안녕 이젠 영원히




I don't wanna say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Taemin's song "さよならひとり" (Goodbye, Alone) depict a bittersweet farewell and the longing for a future together. The first verse expresses the desire to hold the other person close and walk together, with the recognition that there is a future where they both need to go. Despite this, they are becoming distant and waving their hands goodbye, walking through a dim path like a flickering candle. The falling flower petals symbolize greetings, as they smile through lonely tears. The chorus reassures the love that they will not be alone and compares it to a flower blooming brightly in this world. The belief that the other person will wait and come to get them is expressed, acknowledging that even if they are far apart, time will pass. The fear of the approaching end of their goodbye is contrasted with the happiness of dreaming and embracing each other now.

english lyricstranslation:

[Verse 1]
I've always wanted to wrap myself up with you
And closely walk beside you
Myself, in this moment
With you, in this moment
We each have our own tomorrow

[Pre-Chorus]
As you face away and your back grows smaller
My hand starts to shake more
But you walk on, your eyes just looking straight ahead

[Chorus]
Goodbye, the glistening flowers
Are smiling as if they are lonely
Goodbye, don't be sad for being alone
In this world, you're a flower in full bloom

[Verse 2]
Surely you are waiting for me in the distance
For me to come and pick you up
No matter where we will be tomorrow
Time will tediously go on until then

[Pre-Chorus]
Instead of being by each other's side
We lived in fear of the day we will part
Perhaps we're happier now
Embracing each other in our dreams

[Chorus]
Goodbye, the scattering flowers
Smile as if living in regret
If someone will be sad alone
I will remain here, not touching you
Goodbye, so we can embrace each other again
Spread your flowers around the world
Goodbye, don't be sad for being alone
In this the world, you're a flower in full bloom

[Outro]
Oh, woah-oh
Oh-woah, oh-woah
I don't want to say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye
