옛 얘기지만 (After All This Time) Lyrics English Translation by 김동률 (Kim Dong Ryul)
Although it’s an old story,
Even though it’s a tale of the past.
Suddenly, it tormented me again,
As I ponder, I feel like I know everything.
So, I’m going even more insane.
I was inexplicably angry,
On that day, I was like a child.
Words I shouldn’t have said, expressions and gestures,
I poured them all out to you.
You didn’t say a word,
Just looked at me with sad eyes.
I wish you had scolded me instead,
Would I have felt relieved then?
Did I deserve the punishment you gave me?
Although it’s a distant story,
Even though it’s an unattainable tale.
Like a habit, I recalled it again,
Countless times fixing, changing, and praying,
In those futile daydreams.
You didn’t say a word,
Instead, you embraced me.
I wish you had scolded me instead,
Would I have forgotten you then?
Did I deserve the punishment you gave me?
