얼마나 많은 시간이
얼마나 많은 계절이 또 날
스쳐 지나가야
그대에 닿을까요

수없이 되뇌이던
그대의 이름만이
나지막이 맴돌다
이내 사라지네요

실은 점점 흐려져 가
멀어지던 그대 모습
좀 더 눈에 담았을걸

태연하게 보이려던
그날의 나의 모습이 혹시
그대 서운했을까 겁이 나

전하고픈 말들이
쌓여만 가는 내 마음엔
어느새 바래진
말들만이 남아

막상 그대 앞에 서면
그 어떤 말도 어울리지 않는 것만 같아서
아무 말도 못 한 나를 미워해

끝내 말하지 못했던
그 한마디가 내내 남아
긴긴밤 잠 못 이뤄요

눈물처럼 차오르던
그날의 나의 마음이 혹시
그댈 버겁게 할까 겁이 나

전하고픈 말들이
쌓여만 가는 내 마음엔
어느새 바래진
말들만이 남아

막상 그대 앞에 서면
그 어떤 말도 어울리지 않는 것만 같아서
아무 말도 못한 나를 미워해

하고픈 말 너무도 많은데
막상 그대 앞에 서면
그 어떤 말도 꺼낼 수가 없어 애만 태우다
돌아서 버린 나를 미워해

English Translation

How many times,
how many seasons more
must pass me by
before I reach you?

Only your name,
endlessly whispered to myself,
lingers softly in the air
then fades away

The truth is, you’re slowly becoming blurry
you’re drifting further away
I wish I had held you a little longer in my gaze

I’m afraid that’s how I looked that day,
trying so hard to seem calm
might have left you feeling hurt

The words I want to say to you
keep piling up inside my heart,
yet all that remains now
are words that have already faded

Standing right in front of you,
no words feel right
I hate myself for not being able to say anything

The one thing I never managed to say
stays with me still,
keeping me awake through the long, long night

I’m afraid that the way my heart was that day,
brimming over like tears,
might have felt like too much for you

The words I want to say to you
keep piling up inside my heart,
yet all that remains now
are words that have already faded

Standing right in front of you,
no words feel right
I hate myself for not being able to say anything

I have so much I want to say,
yet standing right in front of you,
I tried so hard, but nothing comes out
I hate myself for turning away
