Lyrics and translation Lee Juck - Why

Why

우린 이제 만날 수 없다는 걸 알아요
누가 먼저랄 것도 없이 서로가
길을 걷다 스치면 모르는 척 숨겠죠
둘이 죄인이 된 듯이

부질없는 욕심에 서로를 조이고
순간을 참지 못해 몰아붙였죠
담지 못할 말들이 너무나도 많아요
둘이 죄인이 된 거죠

하필 우린 만나고
하필 우린 사랑하고
하필 우린 헤어졌으니

세상 누구보다 더
서롤 잘 알던 서로가
이젠 누구보다 더 멀어진 것이
무엇보다 분하고 억울하지 않나요
둘이 죄인이 됐나요

하필 우린 만나고
하필 우린 사랑하고
하필 우린 헤어졌으니

되돌리고 싶었던 음음 마지막 그날이 예예
내 마음속에 수없이
그대로 다시 떠오르는데
돌아가면 그때로 음음
이번엔 달라질까 음음
난 아무것도 장담할 수 없어
눈을 감아요

하필 우린 만나고
하필 우린 사랑하고
하필 우린 헤어졌으니

Why

My dear, I know we can't meet anymore
Without either of us needing to say it first, we
Will pretend not to know each other if we pass by while walking down the street
As if we were both sinners

We hurt each other with our insatiable desires
And couldn't stand the thought of letting the moment pass, so we pushed forward
There are too many things we should never have said
We both became sinners

We had to meet
We had to fall in love
We had to break up

More than anyone else in the world
We knew each other so well
And now, we are further apart than anyone else
Isn't it so frustrating and unfair?
Have we both become sinners?

We had to meet
We had to fall in love
We had to break up

The last day, the last day, the last day that I wish I could go back to
Countless times in my heart
It resurfaces just as it was
If I could go back to that time
Do you think things would be different?
I can't promise anything
I'll close my eyes

We had to meet
We had to fall in love
We had to break up
