Winter, Again (다시 겨울이야) Lyrics English Translation by Hwang Chi Yeul
From my pocket,
I sometimes search for your hand.
Even though it’s narrow, it’s warm,
That’s what you, who used to peel potatoes, said.
Unable to catch a taxi,
Even if I have to walk for an hour,
Jokes that didn’t feel cold,
Ironically, those were the good times.
Today, it’s snowing,
Like that day a few years ago,
Now, in your sky,
Will my thoughts come down?
The wind has become quite chilly,
Even if my hands turn white and itchy,
Your memories, still not frozen,
Exist.
Above this silvery street,
Memories are welcoming,
As I walk,
It feels like the first snow
Is about to fall,
Meeting you without you,
It’s winter again.
My crooked scarf,
I still feel awkward with it,
You used to playfully fix it every week,
You were so beautiful.
The wind has become quite chilly,
Even if my hands turn white and itchy,
Your memories, still not frozen,
Exist.
Above this silvery street,
Memories are welcoming,
As I walk,
It feels like the first snow
Is about to fall,
Meeting you without you,
It’s winter again.
Arrow-like time,
You know, this year’s wish,
Of course, it’s you.
Before we melt away,
Even if I’m alone,
I’ll freely reminisce
Before going back,
Remember for you.
Smooth sunlight,
Even if there’s not a single pretty flower,
My two eyes are filled with
Memories of you.
Even if another year passes,
I’ll wait for our season,
Even now, in the sky,
You’re coming down,
Glistening painfully,
It’s winter again.
