뒤뜰 위로 찬비가 와도
나는 그대를 떠올리고 있어
맑은 달이 숨어들어도
나는 그대를 떠올리고 있어
내일 그대와
눈부시게 투명한 낮을 걷고 싶어
내일 그대와
반짝이는 순간에 기대어 잠들고 싶어
비틀대는 맘을 안고도
나는 그대를 떠올리고 있어
이불 속을 파고들어도
나는 그대를 떠올리고 있어
내일 그대와
눈부시게 투명한 낮을 걷고 싶어
내일 그대와
반짝이는 순간에 기대어 잠들고 싶어
불 꺼진 방의 끝에
수런대는 마음이 어지러워
잠들 수 있을지 몰라도
나의 두 눈은 새벽의 끝을 보네
내일 그대와
눈부시게 투명한 낮을 걷고 싶어
내일 그대와
반짝이는 순간에 기대어 잠들고 싶어
(잠들고 싶어)
새벽이 지나가면
새벽이 지나가면
어둠이 지나가면
멀리 손을 흔드는
그댈 보며
When the storm pours on the backyard
Here I am, thinking of you
When the moon hides behind the clouds
Here I am, thinking of you
Tomorrow, with you
I’d like to tread the blinding skies
Tomorrow, with you
I’d like to lose myself in the fleeting moment
When I have no one but myself
Here I am, thinking of you
When I hide away under my blankets
Here I am, thinking of you
Tomorrow, with you
I’d like to tread the blinding skies
Tomorrow, with you
I’d like to lose myself in the fleeting moment
In this lightless room
Filled with my own clustered thoughts
My two eyes won’t stay closed
Until they see the end of this dawn
Tomorrow, with you
I’d like to tread the blinding skies
Tomorrow, with you
I’d like to lose myself in the fleeting moment
(Lose myself)
When the dawn passes
The sun rises
And the darkness finally fades
I stare into the distance
Where you stand and wave
hi, I’m a koran and I was looking for a translation of this song in English to introduce this song to my boyfriend. I’d like to know how did you translate it with subtle meanings because there are some expressions which are slightly different from original lyrics in Korean. For example, you’ve translated ‘눈부시게 투명한 낮을 걷고 싶어’ into ‘I’d like to tread the blinding skies’. But with every single word, it would be ”I’d like to tread the sparkling, transparent daytime’. Maybe you have changed the lyrics slightly since it’s hard to make it with every single subtle meaning and grammar issue? Whenever I try to find translated lyrics in English from Korean, I have noticed they are so different! I’m so deadly curious about it. I would be glad if you can explain it!
Hello Eunkyung! To be honest, my translations are heavily dependent on my mood and how many glasses of wine I’ve had :P . All joking aside, I tend to take lyricism over literalness, so you’ll often find my translation not match up perfectly with the Korean lyrics.
Beautiful translation!
