I marked today's expressions with orange
신촌을 못가 한번을 못가
I can go to Sinchon, Can't even go once.
혹시 너와 마주칠까 봐
Cause there might be a chance to run into you
널 보면 눈물이 터질까 봐
Cause if I see you there I might burst into tears
친구들 한잔 하자고 또 꼬시며
Even friends want to drink with me
불러대도 난 안가
and call me, I don't go
아니 죽어도 못가
No, I can't go even if I die
자주 갔었던 좋아했었던 사거리 그 포장마차가 그립다
I miss that bar on the intersection that I used to go
니가 너무 그립다
I miss you too much
새빨개진 그 얼굴로
with your red face
날 사랑한다 했었던
You said you love me
그곳엘 내가 어떻게 가니
How can I go there
오늘 그 거리가 그리워 운다 또 운다
I cry and cry cause I miss that street
아직 많이 보고 싶나 봐
I think I still miss you
너도 어디선가 나처럼 울까 또 울까
Somewhere you may cry and cry like I do
그런 너를 마주칠까 신촌을 못가
Can't go to Sinchon cause I may run into you
데려다주던 아쉬워하던 막차 버스 안에서
In the last bus that I used to see you off unwillingly
우리 좋았지 우리 너무 좋았지
We were okay, we were so good
뒷자리 창가에 앉아
Sitting on the back seat next to the window
호 입김 불며 그리던 니 이름
drew your name blowing my breath on window
그리고 널 사랑해 그걸 어떻게 잊니
And I love you, How can i forget
오늘 그 거리가 그리워 운다 또 운다
I cry and cry because I miss that street
아직 많이 보고 싶나 봐
I think I still miss you
너도 어디선가 나처럼 울까 또 울까
Somewhere you may cry and cry like I do
그런 너를 마주칠까 신촌을 못가
Can't go to Sinchon cause I may run into you
우리 둘만 있어도 좋았잖아
Everything was good enough by being together
종일 땀이 찼던
sweating all day
두 손 뜨겁던 입맞춤도
kissing with our hands hold
다 거기 있잖아 다 살아 있잖아
Everything is there, all alive.
오늘 이 노래를 부른다
I sing this song today
Good bye and Good bye
이젠 너를 놓아 줄까 봐
I better let you go
마지막으로 널 부른다
I call you for the last time
사랑해 널 사랑해
I love you, I love you
너를 만난 그 곳은 참 행복했었다
The place I met you was full of happiness
