Tae Yeon (태연) – If (만약에) (Original Lyrics, Translated Lyrics, Romanized Lyrics)

February 2, 2008

Someone asked for it, so, there it is : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=46S37FLK

Here are the translated version of the lyrics and the original version (+ romanized version so you can sing it in the shower):

만약에 내가 간다면 내가 다가간다면

넌 어떻게 생각할까 용기 낼 수 없고

만약에 니가 간다면 니가 떠나간다면

널 어떻게 보내야할지 자꾸 겁이 나는걸

내가 바보같아서 바라볼 수 밖에만 없는건 아마도

외면 할지도 모를 니 마음과 또 그래서 더 멀어질 사이가 될까봐

정말 바보같아서 사랑한다하지 못하는건 아마도

만남뒤에 기다리는 아픔에 슬픈 나날들이 두려워서인가봐

만약에 니가 온다면 니가 다가온다면

난 어떻게 해야만 할지 정말 알수 없는걸

내가 바보같아서 바라볼 수 밖에만 없는건 아마도

외면 할지도 모를 니 마음과 또 그래서 더 멀어질 사이가 될까봐

정말 바보같아서 사랑한다하지 못하는건 아마도

만남 뒤에 기다리는 아픔에 슬픈 나날들이 두려워서인가봐

내가 바보같아서 사랑한다하지 못하는건 아마도

만남 뒤에 기다리는 아픔에 슬픈 나날들이 두려워서인가봐

If i were to go
If i were to get close to you
What would you think?
I don’t have the courage.
If you were to go,
If you were to leave.
I don’t know how to send you away
It keeps hanging on my mind
I know i am a fool and can only watch you from afar
Your heart may look away from me…
And so we could even become strangers
Just like a fool i can’t even say that i love you because …
We’re afraid the wait that comes upon us
After we meet will be painful and sad.
If you were to come
To come near me.
What would i do ?
I really don’t know
Because im like a fool.
Even though i know looking is all i can do
Your heart may look away from me
And so we could even become strangers
Just like a fool i can’t even say that i love you because….
We’re afraid the wait that comes upon us
After we meet will be painful and sad
Because i’m like a fool
Even though i can’t say i love you
We’re afraid the wait that comes upon us
After we meet will be painful and sad.

    Omg, the lyrics are so sad! Combined with this and Mal Nyeo’s ’sad destiny’ thing, are our heroes not going to get a happy ending?

    Thanks for putting it up!

    P.S. “I know i am a food and can only watch you from afar”

    A fool?

    Well, consider yourself lucky that I’ve not had time to see 10 nor to post. :) It’s so hard to avoid being spoilered – like giving me chocolate cake and telling me not to eat it.

    *squirms* I want next week to be here now!

    I’m looking for Honggildong, Beethoven Virus, Doremipa Solrasida… to watch, too bad, I don’t know where to find, can anyone teach or help me? =)
    I’m also looking for Beethoven Virus’ (song not the drama) piano/ violin sheet.
    Hehe.
    I wish to learn some korean language.
    I like Jang Geun Suk a lot.

    I hope you guys can help me with all this things. As I’ve said b4, i’m not so good at computer stuff. Please help.

    THANK YOU! =P

    I’d recommand you got there:
    To watch Hong Gil Dong :

    Beethoven Virus:
    http://www.mysoju.com/beethoven-virus/
    Doremifasolasido:

    For the music sheets of Beethoven Virus, I’ve found the piano (I’ll send it in an e-mail), but not the violin (I just found the viola).
    Do you want me to send it to you anyway?
