Music Appreciation and Lyric Interpretation of "Midnight Walk"

 

 

짙은 어둠이 내려앉은 이 거리엔

In this street where the deep darkness falls,
낭만 속에 뛰놀던 우리가 있고

We, who once played in romance, still linger.
지난 시간이 배어 있는 이 거리는

This street, filled with the passage of time,
너와 달빛을 베고 기댔던 곳 

Is where we leaned against the moonlight together.

알아 다 지나버린 일인데

I know, it’s all in the past now,
걸음마다 따라오는 우리 함께한 시간이

But with every step, the time we shared follows me.
그저 이렇게 걷다 보니 하나둘씩 떠올라

As I walk like this, one by one, memories come back,
밤공기에 실려 온 그리움이 번지네
And the longing carried on the night air spreads.

지친 하루의 고민들을 내려놓고

We laid down the worries of a tiring day,
찬 바람을 등지고 함께 걷던 길

And walked together, with the cold wind behind us.
나무 그림자 사이마다 널어놓은

Between the shadows of trees, I hung up
사랑했던 장면과 이야기들

The moments we loved and the stories we shared.

알아 다 지나버린 일인데

I know, it’s all in the past now,
걸음마다 따라오는 우리 함께한 시간이

But with every step, the time we shared follows me.
그저 이렇게 걷다 보니 하나둘씩 떠올라

As I walk like this, one by one, memories come back,
밤공기에 실려 온 그리움이 번지네

And the longing carried on the night air spreads.

혼자 걷는 이 길

Walking this path alone,
가는 한숨에 널 덜어내고

I try to let go of you with each sigh.
이 긴 어둠에 안겨 위로받네

Embraced by this long darkness, I find comfort.

알아 다 지나버린 일인데

I know, it’s all in the past now,
걸음마다 따라오는 우리 함께한 시간이

But with every step, the time we shared follows me.
그저 이렇게 걷다 보니 하나둘씩 떠올라

As I walk like this, one by one, memories come back,
밤공기에 실려 온 그리움이 번지네

And the longing carried on the night air spreads.
