[ENG TRANS] Sagong – I Thought It Was Love | 사공 – 사랑이라 알고 있었네

It’s been awhile since this has been released and i really love this song but i got so busy the past few weeks so i’m only just getting around to translate this 😦 But this song was so good the moment i heard it. It gave me 80s Korean ballad song vibes, with instrumentals similiar to that of Jannabi so i quite enjoyed the overall vintage feels :’) His voice is sooo chill and there’s this part where he bends the melody which i absolutely LOVEEE.

The instrumentals really caught my attention but i love how calming his voice is as well. This is such a great song to listen to at night with dim lights or something hehe. The short guitar break towards the end is also soooo lovely :’)

Sagong – I Thought It Was Love
사공 – 사랑이라 알고 있었네

붉은 꽃을 주워 안고서
picking up and holding a red flower
너에게 달리는 걸
i run towards you
사랑이라 알고 있었네
i thought it was love
마음속에 응어리짐을
the unpleasant feelings that accumulated in my heart
입속에 삼키는 걸
i swallow them in my mouth
사랑이라 알고 있었네
i thought it was love

그대의 사랑을 알려주세요
tell me of your love
난 몰라도 너무 몰라
i really don’t know
그대의 사랑을 알려주세요
tell me of your love
다시 한번 배워볼 테니
i’ll learn it once more

다른 꽃을 보이지 않고
i didn’t see any other flowers
뒤로 감추는 것을
whatever that was hidden behind
사랑이라 알고 있었네
i thought it was love
꽃 앞에서 흐르는 눈물
the tears shed in front of the flowers
너와 나의 사이를
the relationship between us
사랑이라 알고 있었네
i thought it was love

그대의 사랑을 알기엔 늦었나
is it too late to know about your love
난 몰라도 너무 몰라
i really don’t know
그대의 사랑을 알기엔 늦었나
is it too late to know about your love
부디 다시 알려주세요
please tell me again

오늘이 당신의 생일이었었나
was today your birthday?
아니면 우리 기념일이었나
or was it our anniversary?

그대의 사랑을 알기엔 늦었어
it’s too late to know of your love
난 몰라도 너무 몰라
i really don’t know
그대의 사랑을 알기엔 늦었어
it’s too late to know of your love
부디 다시 알려주세요
please tell me again
다시 한번 배워볼 테니
i’ll learn it once more
