Zitten – December [English Translation + Hangul Lyrics]

English Translation

December

The memory of a frozen lake in a brilliant winter,
With the clear sky drifting on between the cracks,
And the sound of snow piling up, sloshing against my ear…
My mind goes blank as the forgotten days resurface

When the footsteps that went on and on come to a halt
And the heavy sound of silence beats my heart,
The smell of parched dust stings my nose
And my mind goes blank as I breathe in the cold wind

When I sense farewell
In your cold smile,
Yet another light goes off
In my broken heart

My warm love,
That that will scatter into a dark night
Silently, like white snow flakes…

Time keeps pushing you away
But the seasons bring you along faithfully
The crystal clear water appears so sad
And the songs meant for no one reverberate on the water’s edge

When I sense farewell
In your cold smile,
Yet another light goes off
In my broken heart

My warm love,
That will scatter into a dark night
Silently, like white snow flakes…

When I feel unfamiliarity
In your back turned towards me,
Someone other than me
Will stop by your side

Stars that won’t lose their light
Even when the day brightens,
Are shining down

 

Hangul Lyrics

December

찬란했던 겨울 호수 얼어붙은 기억
깨진 틈 사이로 흐르는 맑은 하늘과
귓가에 부서지는 눈쌓이는 소리
잊었던 날들 떠올리며 멍해지는 머리

끝없이 이어지던 발걸음이 멈추고
침묵소리가 무겁게 내 맘을 때릴때
메마른 먼지냄새 코끝을 울리고 가고
차가운 바람 들이키며 멍해지는 머리

차가운 웃음속에
이별이 느껴질때
무너진 가슴속에
또 하나의 불빛이 꺼지네

어두운밤 흰 눈처럼
소리없이 흩어져갈
따뜻했던 사랑이여

세월은 끊임없이 너를 밀어내는데
계절은 어김없이 너를 데리고 오네
한없이 맑은물은 더욱 슬퍼보이고
들을이없는 노래들은 물가를 맴도네

차가운 웃음속에
이별이 느껴질때
무너진 가슴속에
또 하나의 불빛이 꺼지네

어두운밤 흰 눈처럼
소리없이 흩어져갈
따뜻했던 사랑이여

돌아선 뒷모습에
낯설음을 느낄때
내가 아닌 누군가
그대 곁에 머무르겠지

밝아오는 아침에도
결코 꺼지지 않고 빛날
별빛이 흐르네
