10. 걸어가고 있어 (WITH U) - 가사 (KOR LYRICS + ENG TRANSLATION) WITH CONTEXT
T/N: 걸어가고 있어 (WITH U) means ‘walking (with you)’
하루가 또 지나 내일은 더
Another day passes again, and tomorrow feels more
너와 깊어지는 듯해 난
intense spending it with you, I
낯설었던 그 시간마저도 추억이라고 부를 수 있어
can call even the unfamiliar times a memory*
T/N: there’s two words in korean that means memory: 기억 and 추억. The first one is a meaning more literal, memories related to going to the bank or simple tasks like that. The latter, though, means memories with emotions involved, so you wouldn’t use 추억 with memories like going to the grocery shop. Right here they used the last one, but later in the song they use 기억 as in the verb to remember something (기억하다).
멈추지 않겠단
I won’t stop
기억하니 네게 했었던 그 약속
Remember? That promise I made to you
난 여전히 걸어
I still walk
어떤 어려움이 막아도
No matter what prevents me (from walking)
지금 내게 남아있는 건
All that’s left for me now
너와 했던 약속들과
Is the promise I made with you
함께 했던 행복한 기억들만
And only the happy memories* that we had together
T/N: First meaning.
그게 나를 움직이게 해
That’s what makes me move
나를 숨 쉴 수 있게 해
(That’s) how I can breathe
많은 시간 이렇게 너와 함께 나
A lot of times like this, you together with me
걸어가고 싶어
I want to walk
T/N: It can also mean like “I want to walk with you for a long time, like this”. I want to spend a long time together with you, like this.
더 나누고 싶어
I want to share more (with you)
Only wanna be with you
나 걸어가고 싶어
I want to walk
함께 하고 싶어
I want to do it together
항상 내 곁에 머물러 줘
Always stay by my side
너를 만나지 못했다면
If I hadn’t met you
난 어떻게 됐을까
I wonder what would have happened to me?
흘러가던 시간을 건너 널 찾아 헤매는 나*
Me, who's been searching for you across time
T/n: fun fact, Inception also has this reference right on Hongjoong’s and Mingi’s last verse. You can check Inception translation and lyrics right here.
더 못 참고 설레는 마음을 다 밝힌 뒤에
After I showed all my excitement, I couldn't stand it anymore,
이러지도 저러지도 못해 난
I can’t do this or that
네 발걸음 뒤 따스한 온기를 느낄 때쯤 하는 다짐은
By the time I feel the warm warmth after your steps, the promise (that I make is that)
멈추지 않겠단
I won’t stop
기억하니 네게 했었던 그 약속
Remember? That promise I made to you
시간도 멈춘 거 같아
I think the time has stopped, too
순간이라는 그 말이
“Moment”, that word
이렇게 날 설레게 해
It makes me so excited
지금 내게 남아있는 건
All that’s left for me now
너와 했던 약속들과
Is the promise I made with you
함께 했던 행복한 기억들만
And only the happy memories that we had together
그게 나를 움직이게 해
That’s what makes me move
나를 숨 쉴 수 있게 해
(That’s) how I can breathe
많은 시간 이렇게 너와 함께 나
A lot of times like this, you together with me
걸어가고 싶어
I want to walk
더 나누고 싶어
I want to share more (with you)
Only wanna be with you
나 걸어가고 싶어
I want to walk
함께 하고 싶어
I want to do it together
항상 내 곁에 머물러 줘
Always stay by my side
기억해 지금 이 시간 이런 감정들
Remember, this time right now, these feelings
기억해 지금 이 공간 우리 다짐을
Remember, this place right now, our promise
