떠나지 마요 (Don’T Go Away) Lyrics Translation Yang Yo Seop | Unloved Echo
The songwriter describes a man struggling alone to find a love that is no longer there. He asks his partner, ‘Just look at me one more time,’ as he watches their beautiful lips part to say goodbye. The poet mixes regret with desperate pleas throughout the story.
Guji mareul haji anadoEven if you don’t say a word,
Imi al geot gatayoI think I already know.
Honja aesseo eomneun sarangeul chajeuryeoI’m struggling to find a love that’s no longer there,
Noryeok jungieyoall on my own.
Eolmana eolmana himdeureosseulkka?How much pain must you have been in?
Eolmana eolmanaJust how much?
Naega jogeum deo jalhaetdeoramyeonIf I’d only treated you a little better,
Sojunghan neoran geol aratdeoramyeonif I’d realized just how precious you were.
Huhoehaneun ge uimi eopdan geolI know better than anyone that this regret,
Nuguboda jal aljimanis completely meaningless now.
Tteonaji mayo tteonaji mayoDon’t leave me, please don’t leave.
Nareul han beon deo barabwa jwoyoJust look at me one more time.
Tteonaji mayo beoriji mayoDon’t leave me, don’t throw us away.
Saranghaetdeon nal gieokae bwayoTry to remember the days when we were in love.
Gojak ilbun ilchoui siganmajeoIs even a single minute or a second of our time,
Jigyeoun gayo geureon nuneuro barabol mankeumso tedious that you’d look at me with those eyes?
Naega badeul sangcheoneun singyeongjocha an sseuinayoDon’t you even care about the pain I’m going to feel?
Tteonagagetjyo geureokeI guess you’re really going to leave me like this.
Geudaeui yeppeun ipsuri tteoreojigoYour beautiful lips begin to part,
Mianhadaneun mari deulligoand I hear you saying that you’re sorry.
Geudaen geureoke tteonaganeun geIs it really that easy for you,
Swiun iringayo naman ireoketo just walk away like this?
Miwohal sudo saranghal sudoIt’s so hard for me to either hate you,
Neomunado eoryeomneyoor to keep on loving you.
Tteonaji mayo tteonaji mayoDon’t leave me, please don’t leave.
Nareul han beon deo barabwa jwoyoJust look at me one more time.
Tteonaji mayo beoriji mayoDon’t leave me, don’t throw us away.
Saranghaetdeon nal gieokae bwayoTry to remember the days when we were in love.
Gojak ilbun ilchoui siganmajeoIs even a single minute or a second of our time,
Jigyeoun gayo geureon nuneuro barabol mankeumso tedious that you’d look at me with those eyes?

Geujeo nan barabol subakke eopseulkka? (bol subakke eopseulkka?)Can I really do nothing but watch you go? (Watch you go?)
Neoneun naega eopseodo jeongmal neon gwaenchaneulkka?Are you really going to be okay without me by your side?
Gojak ilbun ilchoui siganmajeoIs even a single minute or a second of our time,
Jigyeoun gayo geureon nuneuro barabol mankeumso tedious that you’d look at me with those eyes?
Naega badeul sangcheoneun singyeongjocha an sseuinayoDon’t you even care about the pain I’m going to feel?
