The Ordinary Man

Since that day, the two of us
그 날 이후 두 사람
geu nal ihu du saram
Had a feeling, to some extent
어느 정도 예감했지
eoneu jeongdo yegamhaessji
About the day we’d part, not far away
멀지 않은 우리 이별의 날을
meolji anheun uri ibyeorui nareul
Rather than trying to change
달라지는 노력보다
dallajineun noryeokboda
I wish it would just flow as it is
그대로 흘러가길 바라는
geudaero heulleogagil baraneun
It’s been a while, this big love
꽤 된 날큰 사랑
kkwae doen nalkeun sarang

Without anyone being different
누구 다를 안 한 채
nugu taseul an han chae
The consideration of bringing up other topics
다른 얘길 꺼내 보던 배려는
dareun yaegil kkeonae bodeon baeryeoneun
Has no strength left, oh
아무 힘도 남아 있지 않기에 오
amu himdo nama issji anhgie o
The steps we walked together
함께 걷던 발걸음이
hamkke geotdeon balgeoreumi
Started to misalign that day
어긋나기 시작했었던 그 날
eogeusnagi sijakhaesseossdeon geu nal
The feeling of parting hit me suddenly
이별 느낌 문득
ibyeol neukkim mundeuk

Is it a relief that our hearts are the same?
마음이 같아서 다행일까
maeumi gataseo dahaengilkka
Was one of us hiding a false heart?
누구 하난 거짓 마음이었을까
nugu hanan geojit maeumieosseulkka
The introduction that doesn’t clash, isn’t awkward
부딪지 않는 서론 서편하지 않아
butjapji anhneun seoron seopseophaji anha

If it just flows, it’s parting
그대로 흘러가면 이별인데
geudaero heulleogamyeon ibyeorinde
Someone I won’t see again
다시 못 볼 사람인데
dasi mot bol saraminde
Our season is coming to an end
우리 계절 끝나가는데
uri gyejeol kkeutnaganeunde

Was I really that confident?
난 정말 자신 있었을까
nan jeongmal jasin isseosseulkka
Will the memories leave me alone?
추억들이 날 내버려둘 줄 안겠을까
chueokdeuri nal naebeoryeodul jul angeolkka
In the enormity of you that I didn’t realize
미쳐 깨닫지 못한 너라는 커다람에
micheo kkaedatji moshan neoraneun keodarame
I learn from the nights I spent awake
난 지샌 밤을 배운다
nan jisaen bameul baeunda

Everyone leaves like that
다 그렇게들 떠나니
da geureohgedeul tteonani
A friend told me not to worry too much
너무 걱정 말라 했던 친구
neomu geokjeong malla haessdeon chingu
Said it’s something everyone goes through
누구나 격하는 것처럼 말했었던
nuguna gyeokkneun geoscheoreom malhaesseossdeon
No, we’re different
아니 우린 다를거야
ani urin dareulgeoya
I want to go back to that time
그 때로 가서 되돌리고픈
geu ttaero gaseo doedolligopeun
The ugly night is deepening
못난 밤이 깊어

I know well that it can’t be reversed
돌이킬 수 없다는 걸 잘 알아
dorikil su eopsdaneun geol jal ara
I hope it’s just a fleeting aftereffect
반짝 지나가는 후유증이길 바래
banjjak jinaganeun huyujeungigil barae
What’s different about me?
나라고 뭘 다를까
narago mwo dareulkka
Just like everyone else
다들 그렇하듯이
dadeul geureohadeusi
Regretting late and missing you
뒤늦게 후회하고 그리워하고
dwineujge huhoehago geuriwohago

Maybe it’ll just end like this
아마도 이렇다가 말거야
amado ireodaga malgeoya
Just one of the countless partings in the world
세상 수많은 이별 중에 하나일 뿐
sesang sumanheun ibyeol junge hanail ppun
A common breakup from losing love
사랑을 놓쳐버린 흔하디 흔한 이별
sarangeul nohchyeobeorin heunhadi heunhan ibyeol
The ordinary man who’s been through it all.
겪었던 뻔한 남자
