Memories More Than Love (기억이란 사랑보다)

The version on the OST is performed by Kevin Oh, but the song was originally released by Lee Moon-sae on his album Chapter 13 (2001). This song wrecked me.

Vocals: Kevin Oh (2022)
Composition: Lee Young-hoon | Lyrics: Lee Young-hoon | Arrangement: Kevin Oh


내가 갑자기 가슴이 아픈 건
nae-ga kapjagi gaseum-i apeun geon
The reason my heart suddenly aches

그대 내 생각 하고 계신 거죠
geudae nae saenggak hago gyeshin geojo
Is that you’re thinking of me, isn’t it

흐리던 하늘이 비라도 내리는 날
heurideon haneul-i bi-rado naerineun nal
On days when rain falls from clouded skies

지나간 시간 거슬러 차라리 오세요
jinagan shigan geoseulleo charari oseyo
Turn back the time that’s passed and come to me instead

내가 갑자기 눈물이 나는 건
nae-ga kapjagi nunmul-i naneun geon
The reason I’m suddenly crying

그대 내 생각 하고 계신 거죠
geudae nae saenggak hago gyeshin geojo
Is that you’re thinking of me, isn’t it

함박눈 하얗게 온 세상 덮이는 날
hambagnun hayahke on sesang deopineun nal
On days when fat snowflakes blanket the earth in white

멀지 않은 곳이라면 차라리 오세요
meolji anheun goshiramyeon charari oseyo
If it’s somewhere not too distant, come to me instead

이렇게
ireohke
In this way

그대가 들리지 않을 말들을
geudae-ga deulliji anheul maldeul-eul
The words you’ll never hear

그대가 들었으면
geudae-ga deureosseumyeon
If only you were to hear them

사랑이란 마음이 이렇게 남는 건지
sarang-iran maeum-i ireohke namneun geonji
Is this what remains of love?

기억이란 사랑보다 더 슬퍼
gieok-iran sarang-boda deo seulpeo
Memory is sadder than love

기억이란 사랑보다 더 슬퍼
gieok-iran sarang-boda deo seulpeo
Memory is sadder than love

내가 갑자기 눈물이 나는 건
nae-ga kapjagi nunmul-i naneun geon
The reason I’m suddenly crying

그대 내 생각 하고 계신 거죠
geudae nae saenggak hago gyeshin geojo
Is that you’re thinking of me, isn’t it

새하얀 눈꽃이 온 세상 날리는 날
saehayan nunkkoch-i on sesang nallineun nal
On days when pure white snowflakes spiral all around

멀지 않은 곳이라면 차라리 오세요
meolji anheun goshiramyeon charari oseyo
If it’s somewhere not too distant, come to me instead

이렇게
ireohke
In this way

그대가 들리지 않을 말들을
geudae-ga deulliji anheul maldeul-eul
The words you’ll never hear

그대가 들었으면
geudae-ga deureosseumyeon
If only you were to hear them

사랑이란 마음이 이렇게 남는 건지
sarang-iran maeum-i ireohke namneun geonji
Is this what remains of love?

기억이란 사랑보다 더 슬퍼
gieok-iran sarang-boda deo seulpeo
Memory is sadder than love

기억이란 사랑보다 더 슬퍼
gieok-iran sarang-boda deo seulpeo
Memory is sadder than love
