Serene Lyrics English Translation by Choi Yu Ree
Instead of saying goodbye, we share a gaze,
Time spent looking into each other’s eyes, and thereafter,
Matching the gaze we exchanged,
The words “let’s meet again” will be treasured once more.
Instead of saying goodbye, we become captivated
by the atmosphere of gazing at each other,
To the extent that tomorrow doesn’t feel burdensome,
I’ll embrace you fully, thinking about what comes after.
Perhaps the word “goodbye” is too
formal, a comfortable feeling without awkwardness or words,
In that, I believe our feelings are contained.
Instead of saying goodbye, our eyes well up, steps lightened,
Instead of saying goodbye, a lovely breeze and ordinary gaze,
We replace goodbye with these.
Instead of saying goodbye, instead of saying goodbye,
Breathing lightly as we rest, with an equally kind heart,
Until we meet again tomorrow, this is our last goodbye.
