Summer End Lyrics Translation – Paul Kim

Paul Kim describes a person wrestling with a pain that will not fade. He wishes for the rain to hide his tears and asks why this season of hurt does not end. The vocalist holds tight to a single, hopeful request, wishing someone would just tell him ‘that this summer hasn’t ended yet’ (yeoreumeun kkeunnaji anatdago).

Birado naeryeosseumyeon jokesseoI wish the rain would start falling,
Nae nunmul amudo moreugeso nobody notices the tears I’m shedding.
Geuchiji anatseumyeon jokesseoI hope it doesn’t stop anytime soon,
Jicheon naega jamsi swieo gadoreokso my exhausted self can rest for a moment.
Nae sarangeun wae eonjena apeugoWhy does my love always have to be so painful?
Nae nunmureun wae hagsang ireoke mareuji aneulkkaAnd why won’t my tears ever seem to dry?
Oneuldo oeroi gin bameul jisaedaTonight again, I spend the long night alone,
Mugeoun hanseummanletting out nothing but heavy sighs.
Nugunga malhaejumyeon jokesseoI wish someone would just tell me,
yeoreumeun kkeunnaji anatdagothat this summer hasn’t ended yet.
Bajireonhi mireonaen sangcheogaThe wounds I’ve worked so hard to push away,
Amul teuldo eopsi nal bunjapuryeo hal tejimantry to pull me back before they’ve even had a chance to heal.

Adeukan geurium gadeuk kkeureoangoHolding tight to this vast and distant longing,
Tteugeoun hanseummanI’m left with only burning sighs.
