Near Autumn (가을 언저리)

Minkyu Shim

Lyrics:

언제부터인진 모르겠지만
I don’t know where it started from

너가 내 맘에 들어온 순간 모든게 달라졌어
The moment you came into my heart, everything changed

설명하긴 좀 복잡한 마음 뿐이야, 나도 내가 왜 이런지 모르겠지만
It’s really complicated to explain, I don’t even know why I’m like this

꽤 나쁘진 않아 오히려 더 좋아
It’s not quite bad, it’s rather better

사소한 것마저도 너에게 맞추게 돼 대체 이럴까 왜
I tailored the smallest things to you, why am I like this

어리기만 했던 나를 철들게 해 넌 나를 자극해
You always make me act mature, you stimulate me

I wonder if you ever feel the same

너도 나와 같은 감정 느끼길 바래
I hope you feel the same emotions with me

내가 너를 만나러 갈 때 느끼는 설렘을 너가 조금은 알아줬음 해
I hope you understand even just a bit of the excitements I feel when I’m with you

좀 추웠었던 겨울과 따뜻했던 봄을 지나
Even though memories we shared

시원한 여름밤의 공기를 마시며
through the cold winter and the warm spring,

함께 나눈 추억과 너가 했던 말들 다
breathing in the cool summer night air,

아직 선명하게 기억나지만
Still remains vivid in my mind

우리 여름날의 추억들은 다 접어놓은 채
With all the memories of our summer days folded

불어오는 가을 바람 속 널 더 꽉 안아줄게
I’ll hold you tighter in the blowing autumn wind

아직 어린 나지만 너 없인 안되니까
I’m still young but I can’t do it without you

여름과 가을 사이 그 언저리에 우리를 간직할게
I’ll keep our moments we had between summer and autumn

(WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOO) 2X

아직 어린 나지만 너 없인 안되니까
I’m still young but I can’t do it without you

여름과 가을 사이 그 언저리에 우리를 간직할게
I’ll keep our moments we had between summer and autumn

Baby you

너와 눈을 맞출 땐 온세상이 흐릿흐릿해지네
Baby you, when our eyes meet, the whole world becomes blurry

너와 매일 함께 할 수 있음에 하루하루가 소중해지곤 해
To be able to be with you everyday makes each day precious

스치는 손등 발걸음 하나까지도 너무 좋은걸 어떡해
Even the slight touches on our hand and every step we take is too good to me

이제 너가 없는 하루는 완성되지 않는것 같아
Now a day without you seems incomplete

하고 싶은 말이 너무 많지만 내일을 위해 아껴둘게
There are so many words I want to say, but I’ll save them for tomorrow

너가 시도 때도 없이 보고 싶지만 조금은 혼자 참아볼게
I miss you all the time, but I’ll keep it in for a while

I wonder if you ever feel the same

너도 나와 같은 감정 느끼길 바래
I hope you feel the same emotions with me

내가 너를 만나러 갈 때 느끼는 설렘을 너가 조금은 알아줬음 해
I hope you understand even just a bit of the excitements I feel when I’m with you

좀 추웠었던 겨울과 따뜻했던 봄을 지나
Through the cold winter and the warm spring,

시원한 여름밤의 공기를 마시며
Breathing in the cool summer night air

이 계절이 다 지나고 멀리 떨어진대도
Even if this season passes and we become far away

지금처럼 너와 함께하니까
I’ll be with you like now

우리 여름날의 추억들은 다 접어놓은 채
With all the memories of our summer days folded

불어오는 가을 바람 속 널 더 꽉 안아줄게
I’ll hold you tighter in the blowing autumn wind

아직 어린 나지만 너 없인 안되니까
I’m still young but I can’t do it without you

여름과 가을 사이 그 언저리에 우리를 간직할게
I’ll keep our moments we had between summer and autumn

(WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOO) 2X

아직 어린 나지만 너 없인 안되니까
I’m still young but I can’t do it without you

여름과 가을 사이 그 언저리에 우리를 간직할게
I’ll keep our moments we had between summer and autumn
