사랑하고 싶지 않아 (Junk Love) Lyrics Meaning Lavin | Animated
Lavin pens direct commands against getting hurt or falling in love. The poet uses the line ‘let’s run far away from here’ as a plea for escape from a painful world. He describes a heart that keeps drifting away, even when it is in pain.
Apeuji ma uljido ma saranghaji mararaDon’t get hurt, don’t cry, and don’t fall in love.
Itjineun ma nae dwiro wa never let them wear you downDon’t forget, stay right behind me, and never let them wear you down.
Pureun pureureun haneureul gidarimyeoWhile I wait for the deep, blue sky,
Nan jigeum nunmul heullineun saranghago sipji anaI’m shedding tears right now and I don’t want to love anymore.
Eochapi urin taeeonal ttaebuteo jal matji antaeThey say we weren’t a good match from the moment we were born.
Gapareun maldeulgwa mueonui soksagimHarsh words and those silent whispers,
Jigeutjigeutan sesange chwihaeseoexhausted by this tiresome world.
Haruppalli dareun ujue galkkaShould we leave for another universe as soon as possible?
I’ll die for true love ireokeI’d give my life for a love that’s real, just like this.
(Woah)(Woah)
Saragagi wihae sumswineun ge aniyaI’m not breathing just to survive.
(Woah)(Woah)
Let’s run far away from hereLet’s run far away from here.
I dosi bakkeseo uri dulman bogiro haeBeyond the city limits, let’s promise to see only each other.
Apado tto heulleoganeun ge maeuminikkaBecause the heart keeps drifting away, even when it’s in pain.
Pureun pureureun haneureul gidarimyeoWhile I wait for the deep, blue sky,
Nan jigeum nunmul heullineun saranghago sipji anaI’m shedding tears right now and I don’t want to love anymore.
Jugeotda tto kkael ttaekkajiUntil I fade away and wake up again,
Nae haruga tto jinandaanother day of mine passes by.
Mwoga geureoke aswiunji marijiI wonder why I feel such a deep sense of regret.
Jakku gwageoe mugereul dugo jeouljil haryeo haeI keep weighing down the past and trying to balance the scales.
Sarange ihaegwangyereul ttajineun baboga eodinnyaWhere’s the fool who treats love like a business transaction?
(Woah)(Woah)
Saragagi wihae sumswineun ge aniyaI’m not breathing just to survive.
(Woah)(Woah)
Let’s run far away from hereLet’s run far away from here.
