An Encore (재연)

An Encore

An Encore (재연)

As if the paint is spreading
물감이 번져 가는 듯
mulgami beonjyeo ganeun deut
Becoming clearer day by day
하루씩 또렷해져
harussik ttoryeotaejyeo
As if time is flowing backwards
거꾸로 시간이 흐른 듯
geokkuro sigani heureun deut
Ironically becoming clearer
오히려 선명해져
ohiryeo seonmyeonghaejyeo
Once we cross the river of memories
기억의 강을 건너면
gieogui gang-eul geonneomyeon
We might be able to forget
잊을 수 있을 거란
ijeul su isseul georan
Both the futile belief and the futile hope
헛된 믿음도 헛된 희망도
heotdoen mideumdo heotdoen huimangdo
I've now discarded
이젠 버렸어
ijen beoryeosseo

The echo of silence (hidden within it)
침묵의 메아리 (그 속에 잠긴)
chimmugui me-ari (geu soge jamgin)
The dry lips (contained within it)
메마른 두 입술 (그 안에 담긴)
memareun du ipsul (geu ane damgin)
As long as the story was
길었던 이야기만큼
gireotdeon iyagimankeum
Our farewell was as empty
허무했던 우리의 안녕
heomuhaetdeon uriui annyeong
Within the familiarity that gave us a sense of entitlement
익숙함이 준 당연함 속에
iksukami jun dang-yeonham soge
Our love fades like a dim moon
우리 사랑은 야윈 달처럼 희미해져
uri sarang-eun yawin dalcheoreom huimihaejyeo
With harsh words that weren't sincere
진심이 아닌 모진 독설로
jinsimi anin mojin dokseollo
In the time when we hurt each other
그리 서로를 아프게 했던 시절
geuri seororeul apeuge haetdeon sijeol
Amidst the accumulated indifference
자욱이 쌓인 무관심 속에
jaugi ssain mugwansim soge

Our love becomes pitiful like withered flowers
우리 사랑은 시든 꽃처럼 초라해져
uri sarang-eun sideun kkotcheoreom chorahaejyeo
Not knowing how precious it was
얼마나 소중한 줄 모르고
eolmana sojunghan jul moreugo
Our lonely and faded season
쓸쓸히 바래진 너와 나의 계절
sseulsseulhi baraejin neowa naui gyejeol
Time flows frighteningly
세월은 무섭게 흘러
seworeun museopge heulleo
Everything changes
모두 변해가지만
modu byeonhaegajiman
But one thing remains unchanged
변하지 않는 단 한 가지만
byeonhaji anneun dan han gajiman
Becoming clearer
분명해져 가
bunmyeonghaejyeo ga
With clumsy wandering (unfamiliar journey)
어설픈 방랑과 (낯설은 여정)
eoseolpeun bangnanggwa (natseoreun yeojeong)
At the end of a long drift (at the end of that road)
오랜 표류 끝에 (그 길의 끝에)
oraen pyoryu kkeute (geu girui kkeute)

Breathing out my last breath
마지막 숨을 내쉬는
majimak sumeul naeswineun
My conclusion is only one person
내 결론은 오직 한 사람
nae gyeolloneun ojik han saram
Within the familiarity that gave us a sense of entitlement
익숙함이 준 당연함 속에
iksukami jun dang-yeonham soge
Our love fades like a dim moon
우리 사랑은 야윈 달처럼 희미해져
uri sarang-eun yawin dalcheoreom huimihaejyeo
With harsh words that weren't sincere
진심이 아닌 모진 독설로
jinsimi anin mojin dokseollo
In the time when we hurt each other
그리 서로를 아프게 했던 시절
geuri seororeul apeuge haetdeon sijeol
Amidst the accumulated indifference
자욱이 쌓인 무관심 속에
jaugi ssain mugwansim soge
Our love becomes pitiful like withered flowers
우리 사랑은 시든 꽃처럼 초라해져
uri sarang-eun sideun kkotcheoreom chorahaejyeo
Not knowing how precious it was
얼마나 소중한 줄 모르고
eolmana sojunghan jul moreugo
Our lonely and faded season
쓸쓸히 바래진 너와 나의 계절
sseulsseulhi baraejin neowa naui gyejeol
Yes, I still dream
그래 아직도 난 꿈을 꿔
geurae ajikdo nan kkumeul kkwo

After the thick darkness clears
짙은 어둠이 걷힌 후엔
jiteun eodumi geochin huen
Towards the morning sunlight
아침 햇살 위로
achim haetsal wiro
You and I shining on that day
빛나던 그날의 너와 나
binnadeon geunarui neowa na
Will be replayed
재연될 거야
jaeyeondoel geoya
Even if I ask, the answer is always the same
되물어 봐도 늘 같은 해답
doemureo bwado neul gateun haedap
As if I've lost my way
길을 잃어버린 듯
gireul ireobeorin deut
Still searching for you
여전히 널 찾아 헤매
yeojeonhi neol chaja hemae
Since the moment I was born
태어난 순간
tae-eonan sun-gan

Perhaps from the day the world began
혹 세상이 시작된 날부터
hok sesang-i sijakdoen nalbuteo
Like a predetermined fate
정해진 운명처럼
jeonghaejin unmyeongcheoreom
Let's rewind everything back to its place
되돌려보자 다 제자리로
doedollyeoboja da jejariro
Let's not take the path that is no longer the answer
우리 더는 정답 아닌 길로 가지 말자
uri deoneun jeongdap anin gillo gaji malja
Like a stage where the curtain rises again
다시 막이 오르는 무대처럼
dasi magi oreuneun mudaecheoreom
Like the sequel to a tearful movie
눈물 났던 영화의 속편처럼
nunmul natdeon yeonghwaui sokpyeoncheoreom
Like the two protagonists who finally meet
결국 이뤄지는 두 주인공처럼
gyeolguk irwojineun du juin-gongcheoreom
