A Letter Meaning & Lyrics (Bumjin)
BUMJIN tells of a heart too frozen to speak. He says goodbye to a fading day and unshining stars, finally sending well wishes.
Dorasoneun Neoreul BomyeoAs I watch you turn your back,
Nan Amu Maldo Hal Su EopseotgoI couldn’t find a single word to say.
Seulpeohagien JjalbatdeonIt was too short a time to even grieve,
Naui Haeneun Jeomureo Ganneand so, my sun has finally set.
Jinachineun Mojin GieogiWhen these harsh, fleeting memories
Baram Ttara Heuteojil Ttaemyeonscatter away with the wind,
Amu Ildo Eopdeusi Bonaejuryeo HaeI’ll try to let you go like it’s nothing at all,
Apeun Mami Namji Andorokso that no lingering pain remains.
Annyeong Meoreojineun Naui HaruyaGoodbye to my day that’s drifting away,
Binnaji Motan Naui Byeoldeuraand to my stars that never got to shine.
Chama Akkyeowatdeon Mal IjeseoyaOnly now, I’ll say the words I’ve held so dear,
Jal Jinae Insareul Bonaelgeand send my wishes for you to be well.
Ddeonaganeun Neoreul BomyeoWatching you as you walk away,
Nan Amu Maldo Hal Su EopseotgoI couldn’t utter a single word.
Seulpeohagien JjalbatdeonIt was too brief a time to even mourn,
Naui Haeneun Jeomureo Ganneand so, my sun has gone down.
Dorikil Sun Eomneun ChueogiWhen memories that can’t be undone
Baram Ttara Heuteojil Ttaemyeondrift away along with the breeze,
Amu Ildo Eopdeusi Bonaejuryeo HaeI’ll try to let go as if nothing happened,
Apeun Mami Namji Andorokso that no trace of heartache lingers.
Annyeong Meoreojineun Naui HaruyaGoodbye to my day that’s drifting away,
Binnaji Motan Naui Byeoldeuraand to my stars that never got to shine.

Jal Jinae Insareul Bonaelgeand send my wishes for you to be well.
Jal Jinae Insareul BonaelgeI’ll send my wishes for you to be well.
