A Story I Never Told You Lyrics Translation – Na Yoon Kwon

Na Yoon Kwon describes a love that is felt deeply but hidden completely. The narrator postpones his confession day after day, terrified that speaking his truth could destroy the fragile connection he has. This results in the central, repeated confession: ‘I love you so much’ (Neol neomu saranghae), a phrase he guards as his most precious secret.

Honja su eopsi doenoein malWords I’ve repeated to myself countless times,
Neoegen han beondo mot han malwords I’ve never been able to say to you.
Neol neomu saranghae“I love you so much,”
I hanmadireul mot han chaeas that single phrase remains unspoken.
Ne gyeope maemdolgoI linger by your side,
Han beon du beon miruda nae ane gatchin malpostponing it once, then twice, until the words are trapped inside.
Ne ape seomyeon kkeonaeji mothaneun i malThese words that I can’t bring out when I stand before you.
Saranghae neoreul neomuna saranghaeI love you, I love you so much.
Dulliji ange honja saranghaeI love you silently, so you won’t hear me,
Oneuldo mot han i gobaegeuland this confession I failed to make today.
Naeillo mirumyeo tto beotindaI push it to tomorrow and endure once more,
Hoksi sumgyeoduwotdeon nae mam deullilkka bwafearing you might hear the secrets my heart has hidden away.
Gakka-i seomyeon amu maldo mot han naldeulThe days when I couldn’t say a word while standing close to you.
Saranghae neoreul neomuna saranghaeI love you, I love you so much.
Dulliji ange honja saranghaeI love you silently, so you won’t hear me,
Oneuldo mot han i gobaegeuland this confession I failed to make today.
Naeillo mirumyeo tto beotindaI push it to tomorrow and endure once more.
Pihal su eomneun nari omyeonWhen the day comes that I can no longer avoid it,
Geuttaen neo-ege kkok gobaekalgeI’ll finally find the courage to confess.
Saranghanda malhamyeon meoreojilkka duryeowoseoBecause I’m afraid that saying ‘I love you’ might drive us apart.
Han beondo haji mothan malThese words I’ve never been able to say.
Saranghae neoreul yeongwonhi saranghaeI love you, and I’ll love you forever.
Kkok hago sipdeon mal neol saranghaeThe words I’ve longed to tell you, ‘I love you.’
Dulliji anado saranghaeEven if you can’t hear me, I love you.
Oneuldo naeildo neol saranghaeToday and tomorrow, I’ll love you.
