Aftertaste (이별의 맛) Lyrics English Translation by Whee In
어제의 난
Where was I yesterday?
어디 있을까
I wonder where I was.
달라진 바람
The wind has changed.
달라져 버린 공기
The air feels different now.
나른한 몸
My body feels heavy.
고장난 마음
My heart is broken.
감기약처럼
Like bitter cold medicine,
쓰디쓴 나의 하루
my day is painfully bitter.
물속 같은 시간들
Time feels like I’m underwater,
그 1분 1초
every minute, every second,
난 자꾸만 숨이 차올라
I keep struggling to breathe.
두 눈을 꼭 감고
I close my eyes tightly,
두 귀를 닫고
I shut my ears,
난 너의 기억을
and I bring back your memories.
또 꺼내어 봐
I revisit them again.
참 달콤했던
It was so sweet,
참 달콤했던
so very sweet,
너로 만든 케익 같던 세상
a world that felt like a cake made by you.
사랑을 말하던
When I spoke of love,
내 입술 끝엔
at the edge of my lips,
아직 니 이름이
your name still lingers.
묻어있는데
It’s still there.
다 괜찮아질거라
I tell myself it’ll all be okay,
수 없이 되뇌어도
over and over again,
입안 가득 그리움만 퍼져
but my mouth fills with longing,
이별을 맛 본다
and I taste the bitterness of goodbye.
거울에도 유리잔에도
In the mirror, in the glass,
니가 좋아한
in the little pot
조그만 화분에도
you loved so much,
너의 손끝이 닿았던
in every corner
그 구석구석
your fingertips touched,
가지런히 놓여진 추억
memories are neatly placed.
머리를 잠그고
I dunk my head underwater,
가슴을 막고
I block my chest,
난 너의 목소릴
and I bring back your voice.
또 꺼내어 봐
I revisit it again.
참 사랑했던
I truly loved you,
참 사랑했던
so very much,
너로 만든 노래 같던 세상
a world that felt like a song made by you.
내일은 아득히
Tomorrow feels so far away,
멀기만 하고
so distant,
오늘은 몸서리
and today,
치도록 아파
I shiver in pain.
다 지나갈거라고
I convince myself it’ll all pass,
수 없이 타일러도
over and over again,
마음 가득 서러움이 흘러
but my heart overflows with sorrow.
널 원하면 원할수록
The more I want you,
조금씩 너는 멀어져 가
the further you drift away.
So far away
So far away.
두 눈을 꼭 감고
I close my eyes tightly,
두 귀를 닫고
I shut my ears,
난 너의 기억을
and I bring back your memories.
또 꺼내어 봐
I revisit them again.
참 달콤했던
It was so sweet,
참 달콤했던
so very sweet,
너로 만든 케익 같던 세상
a world that felt like a cake made by you.
사랑을 말하던
When I spoke of love,
내 입술 끝엔
at the edge of my lips,
아직 니 이름이
your name still lingers.
묻어있는데
It’s still there.

I tell myself it’ll all be okay,
수 없이 되뇌어도
over and over again,
입안 가득 그리움만 퍼져
but my mouth fills with longing,
이별을 맛 본다
and I taste the bitterness of goodbye.
