*Exception: LOVE SONG: A Song That Will Hold You Back translation from chipskjaa.wordpress.com / voice-over translation by rain bird @Rain-eu.
In My Bed
I heard it today
That you already have a new man
The news came from your friends’ mouths
How you were keeping company surprised me
You gave him the same present you gave me
Gave him a letter with the same words you wrote me
I thought our kind of love was a first for you, baby?
[hook] Laying in the bed I once laid in
Giving him the same look you once gave me
Giving your love to someone else
How could you forget me so soon?
I don’t believe it
Did you ever really love me?
I still can’t fathom loving again, not yet
You call him by the same nickname you called me
Hold his hand in the places I took you to
Like a person going somewhere for the first time, you wait for him with phony anticipation
Those were precious memories we made
Repeating them with him erases what we did
Why are you doing that?
Why, why?
[hook]
[bridge] The car I rode in
The chair I sat in
That man is now standing in my place
The mouth that told me “I love you”
is now loving someone else’s lips
[hook]

Instead of Saying Goodbye
(Put your hands up. Come on!)
Do other words feel as badly as these?
Can’t all the [good] words in the world be said instead, forever?
After I say these too, I might tear up
If I can’t bear to use them
Though they are the truth
If, yes, the words do feel that harsh
Will you realize that I know [the score]?
Will you turn away in tears?
[hook] When you leave me and turn to someone else
When you like being with someone else more than with me
Someday it’ll be alright
Instead of saying goodbye
Just smile a small smile for me
I hate having to listen to those words coming from your pretty lips
“I’m happy now, I’m sorry
Please understand that I’m with someone else”
Yes, I hate listening to those unpleasant words
My soul can’t have any more pain
I love you so much
It seems that I want to run away from the break-up
[optional] Do you want to break up with me or not?
The words “Let’s break up” make me cry
It’s hard
It’s not easy to hear
It only makes me shed more tears
I’m sure when you leave, I’ll have more problems
And more annoying is that you just pick up and go whenever you say, it’s okay
Just smile and leave
[hook]
I know the day will come when you leave me, that’s okay
Instead of saying goodbye
Instead of saying goodbye
Smile a small smile for me
Just smile a small smile for me

It’s Raining
When I return to the stage and the spotlights turn on me, little by little I get… [excited]
When people cry out and call my name, little by little I get… [excited]
When the music explodes inside me, I hear—
(rain go rain it’s raining it’s raining)
When the loudspeakers’ throbbing noise hits me, I hear—
(rain go rain it’s raining it’s raining)
[hook] Now, oh…
Let the music control my body
Completely lose myself in the song
Let my limbs move the way they choose to go, just like that
Go… let my body talk to the music
(You know what the people are waiting for, you know what they want)
Now show them all
My heart pounds like it’s going to burst, and little by little I get… [excited]
I can feel the blood inside me getting hotter
When I close my eyes as the music rises, I hear—
(rain go rain it’s raining it’s raining)
An unbearable thrill explodes inside me, and I hear—
(rain go rain it’s raining it’s raining)
[hook]

Love Song 널 붙잡을 노래 (Neol Bootjabul Norae, A Song That Will Hold You Back)
*This is an AMERICANIZED translation, NOT what is sung on the English version!
[opening voice-over] “I wanted to hold you back, but I believed that you would surely return.”
I’m hanging around your house again today
I’ve gotten angry
I’m stuggling
I’m struggling
Struggling like this…
But I couldn’t help it
It’s too late to change my mind
It’s over
It can’t be helped now…
[hook] The familiar hands of yours pushed me away
What do I do…
What do I do…
Even today, I’m still missing your presence
What do I do…
What do I do…
Please…
Oh please…
Come back…
I think of you
I keep thinking of you
We no longer can hold hands like before
I liked you so much
To the point I can’t forget anything about you
And this is the song that will hold you back.
[hook] The familiar hands of yours pushed me away
What do I do…
What do I do…
Even today, I’m still missing your presence
I still love you
What do I do…
What do I do…
[bridge] You’re looking at me again with the old looks in your eyes
Those eyes
Want to tell me something
That you still love me
[hook] The familiar hands of yours pushed me away
What do I do…
What do I do…
Even today, I’m still missing your presence
What do I do…
What do I do…
Please…
Oh please…
I love you…
[ending voice-over] “I’ll remember you forever. A song that will hold you back.”
