Because I Love You
Yoo Jae Ha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

처음 느낀 그대 눈빛은
혼자만의 오해였던가요
해맑은 미소로 나를
바보로 만들었소

내 곁을 떠나가던 날
가슴에 품었던 분홍빛의
수많은 추억들이
푸르게 바래졌소

어제는 떠난 그대를
잊지 못하는 내가 미웠죠
하지만 이제 깨달아요
그대만의 나였음을

다시 돌아온 그대 위해
내 모든 것 드릴테요
우리 이대로 영원히
헤어지지 않으리

다시 돌아온 그대 위해
내 모든 것 드릴테요
우리 이대로 영원히
헤어지지 않으리

(다시 돌아온 그대 위해
내 모든 것 드릴테요)
우리 이대로 영원히
헤어지지 않으리

나 오직 그대만을
나 오직 그대만을




나 오직 그대만을
사랑하기 사랑하기 때문에

[Verse 1]
What I felt with the first look you gave me
Was it my own delusion?
With your innocent smile
You turned me into a fool
The day you left my side
The countless rose-colored memories in my heart
Faded into blue

[Pre-Chorus]
Yesterday, I hated myself
For not being able to forget you, who left me
But now I realize
I was yours only
[Chorus]
To you, who came back to me
I'll give my everything
We will stay like this forevermore
Wе will not part ways
Because I only love you
And you only

[Verse 2]
I gеt smaller and clumsier
As I approach your important self
No matter what that means
I will silently follow you

[Pre-Chorus]
Yesterday, I hated myself
For not being able to forget our past memories
But now I realize
I was yours only

[Chorus]
To you, who came back to me
I'll give my everything
We will stay like this forevermore
We will not part ways
Because I only love you
And you only

Yoo Jae-ha was born in 1962, and in his 20s,
he wrote and composed the first album (eight songs) myself
He died in a car accident when he was 25 years old. Every song is a masterpiece
Yoo Jae-ha is the respect and idol of many Korean singers.

@aaaaaparamore

@boromeychan9717

@silvercat016

OMG SAME I'M CRYING OVER THIS SONG

@superwow4084

I’m crying…. This song is just so romantic and calming and just so damn beautiful. I miss the meaningful lyrics, slow, ballad, orchestral type of music. Simple and beautiful is all I want. Not the tacky upbeat music that many idols come out with nowadays. I really really miss old school ballads. I’m young, but they give such a nostalgia that I just can’t explain

@_kch_06_

Kor)I am absolutely agree

@user-xm4wn5ij6b

​@@_kch_06_내 영혼이 동감합니다...

@crystaltan6471

I like Rosé when she sing this song. I just learned about Yoo Jae Ha and the history of this song which is very… sweet and i’m devastated learning he passed away. Now listening to this song, it sounds like a man and his love confession. Pure, raw & emotional.
