It’s Been A While Lyrics English Translation by Choi Yu Ree
It’s been a while, I’ve been
Learning about love and living through it again
But in the end, I couldn’t hold onto much
I tried to smile, but it was all in vain
It’s been a while, you’ve been
Wearing a relaxed smile on your face
Seems like your heart’s at ease, but in a corner
There’s a pain, what exactly is it? Who will tell?
Even when I try to see who I am, I can’t figure it out
Even if someone tells me, I don’t have the confidence to believe
So, next, at the end of my growing young mind
I’ll believe in the future that’s to come
Can you love me?
I hope you can
Will you love every moment of the me I’ve let go of?
Let me ask once more, can you love me?
Then, I’ll love you again at that time
It’s been a while
Even when I try to see who I am, I can’t figure it out
Even if someone tells me, I don’t have the confidence to believe
So, next, at the end of my growing young mind
I’ll believe in the future that’s to come
Can you love me?
I hope you can
Will you love every moment of the me I’ve let go of?
Let me ask once more, can you love me?
Then, I’ll love you again at that time
Actually, if I have such feelings, somehow
I’ll unknowingly love you again
It’s been a while
