자유롭게 날 수 있도록 ~ H.O.T

Free To Fly - H.O.T

Yes, it's one of the fossil songs coming from 15 years or so ago. It brings out the nostalgic where the likes of Youtube and Itunes were unthinkable, so we have to buy the CD to get the songs (or at least that's what I did during that era). Koala introduced me to H.O.T thus brought me to the world of K-pop. And this song was the trigger to my K-pop mania, and still a K-pop fan until now...
The lyrics was not that fantastic if you compare to the current mainstreams, kind of lame if you think back. But, hey, it's the Backstreet Boys songs era... so these types of lyrics were the IT lyrics.

모두 잊고 살 수 있게 너를 버려야만 했던
끝을 향한 내 이 마음을 너는 이해할 수 있니
어떤것도 내게 힘을 주진 못했기에
더이상은 짐이 되긴 싫었어
아직 맘속에 내가 살아있다면....
너는 행복할 수 없을테니까
지워야해.....

너와 함께 할 수 있는건.....
너무 어렸던 날들의 작은 꿈이었어....
자유롭게 날 수 있도록
나의 곁에서 너를 날려 보내줘야해......
나를 잊어줘 안녕...

의미없던 시간들일 뿐이라고 말했어도,
사실 내게 있어 가장 소중했던 순간들을
영원토록 묻어 둘 수 밖에 없다는게,
나에게 아픔만을 남겨주지만

너와 함께 할 수 있는건.....
너무 어렸던 날들의 작은 꿈이었어....
자유롭게 날 수 있도록
나의 곁에서 너를 날려 보내줘야해......
하지만 너를 사랑해
이것만은 알아주길 바랬어
너는 잊겠지만 나는 못 잊겠어
언제까지나 이대로..

너와 함께 할 수 있는건.....
너무 어렸던 날들의 작은 꿈이었어....
자유롭게 날 수 있도록
나의 곁에서 너를 날려 보내줘야해......
나를 잊어줘.......
영....원.....히........

Just so I could forget everthing and live on,
I had to throw you away
Do you understand that of my heart towards the end?
Nothing could give you strength,
So I didn't want to be a burden anymore.
If I am still alive in your heart,
You wouldn't be happy,
So you have to erase me.

To be with you...
was a small dream in the days I was too young.
Just so you can be Free to Fly,
I have to fly you away.
Forget me... goodbye~

Even though I say those were meaningless times,
Those were really the times that were most precious to me.
The fact that I have to bury them eternally only leave me pain.

(Forget me) But I love you.
Oh! I just wanted you to know that.
You will forget, but I can't forget.
Till whenever, I'll just be...like this...
