Back in Time (시간을 거슬러)

There's a new K-drama coming next week (yes, on Monday) in the country where I came from and people are buzzing about it from people who have seen the series and is bursting to share spoilers, their opinions, their favorite characters and scenes, to people who couldn't wait to see it (including me). You can guess from the title what that K-drama is: yes, The Moon that Embraces the Sun, or as what they call it in the Philippines, The Moon Embracing the Sun.

So I checked the web not only to cheat my self by watching it ahead over the internet (dramacrazy.net) but also to listen to the drama's OST. The following is my first pick, probably because the song was just beyond the borders of sadness and because it's the first song off the OST that I heard. Here is "Back in Time" sung by Lyn.

Disclaimers and credits are listed below as usual. Enjoy! :)

시간을 거슬러 (Back in Time)

From the Official Soundtrack of 해를 품은 달 (The Moon that Embraces the Sun)

구름에 빛은 흐려지고

gureume bicheun heulyeojigo

The light fading in the clouds
창가에 요란히 내리는 빗물소리 만큼 시린 기억들이

changgaye yoranhi naerineun bimulsori mankeum shilin gieokdeuri

Memories cold as raindrops pounding down the window

내 마음 붙잡고 있는데

nae maeum butjabgo itneunde

Have caught my heart

갈수록 짙어져간 그리움에 잠겨

galsurog jiteojyeogan geuriume jamgyeo
Drowned in longing that increases over time

시간을 거슬러 갈순 없나요

shiganeul geoseulleo galsun eomnayo

Can I go back in time
그 때처럼만 그대 날 안아주면

geu ttaecheoreomman geudae nal anajumyeon

When you embrace me like before
괜찮을텐데 이젠

gwaenchanheultende ijen

Then I will be alright

젖어든 빗길을 따라가

jeojeodeun bitgireul ttaraga

As I follow the wet and lonely road
함께한 추억을 돌아봐

hamkkehan chueogeul dorabwa

And I look back at our memories together
흐려진 빗물에 떠오른 그대가

heulyeojin bitmure tteooleun geudaega

I think of you in the blurry rain
내 눈물 속에서 차올라와

nae nunmul sogeseo chaollawa

You fill up my mind as I cry

갈수록 짙어져간 그리움에 잠겨

galsurog jiteojyeogan geuriume jamgyeo

Drowned in longing that increases over time
시간을 거슬러 갈순 없나요

shiganeul geoseulleo galsun eomnayo

Can I go back in time
그 때처럼만 그대 날 안아주면

geu ttaecheoreomman geudae nal anajumyeon

When you embrace me like before
괜찮을텐데 이젠

gwaenchanheultende ijen

Then I will be alright

흩어져가, 나와 있어주던 그 시간도 그 모습도
heuteojyeoga, nawa isseojudeon geu shigando geu moseubdo

It’s scattered, the time you were with me, the memories when you were with me

다시 그 때처럼만 그대를 안아서 시간을 거슬러 갈순 없나요

dashi geu ttaecheoreomman geudaereul anaseo shiganeul geoseulleo galsun eomnayo

Can I go back in time and embrace you again just like before
한번이라도 마지막일지라도

hanbeonirado majimagiljirado

Just once, even if it’s the last
괜찮을텐데

gwaenchanheultende

I would be alright
