Confession of a Friend (친구의 고백) Hang/Rom/Eng Lyrics

I've posted the following for the benefit of Korean singers' fans across the globe just like me :)


The following is taken from the song "Confession of a Friend (chinguui gobaeg)" by 2AM from their single album "Time for Confession" released on 19 March 2009. I think the song is quite sad, falling in love with a friend and being afraid to tell them how you feel. That is just frustrating. I loved how the song was worded and the melody as well.


I've seen a lot of covers of this song but the one I really enjoyed was K.Will and Sweet Sorrow's cover of this. Anyway, hope you enjoy :)


acknowledgments and disclaimers are listed below (as usual) ^^

CONFESSION OF A FRIEND (친구의 고백)

2AM

꽤 오래됐어 내 맘이 조금씩 변하기 시작한지

kkwae olaedwaesseo nae mami jogeumssig byeonhagi sijaghanji

For quite some time I gradually started to change my mind
혼자서 괴로워한지

honjaseo goelowohanji

To begin to hurt alone
언제부턴가 니가 울 때마다

eonjebuteonga niga ul ttaemada

From that time, whenever I see you cry
너를 울리는 남자가 너무나 미웠어

neoleul ullineun namjaga neomuna miwosseo

I hated the guy who made you cry so much

차라리 내가 널 지키는 게 나을지도 모른다는 생각이

charali naega neol jikineun ge naeuljido moleundaneun saenggagi

Rather, I think it might be better for me to keep you

이제는 내가 널 안아주고

ijeneun naega neol an-ajugo

Now let me hold you
사랑해주고 싶단 생각이 들었어

saranghaejugo sipdan saeng-gag-i deul-eoss-eo

I did not think I’d fall in love with you

Baby

이제는 내게 와

ijeneun naege wa

Come to me now
And be my lady

너무나 오랫동안

neomuna olaetdong-an

For far too long
지켜봤어 말없이 서서

jikyeobwass-eo mal-eobs-i seoseo

I stood silently and watched
안타까운 가슴을 숨기며

antakkaun gaseum-eul sumgimyeo

Hiding this pitiable heart
친구로 친구로 지내야 한단 이유로

chingulo chingulo jinaeya handan iyulo

As a friend, I have to live as your friend
목까지 차올랐던 그 고백을 참아야 했어

mogkkaji chaollatdeon geu gobaeg-eul cham-aya haess-eo

I had to push my confession down my throat
하지만 이제는 고백할께

hajiman ijeneun gobaeghalkke

But now, I will confess
너를 사랑해

neoreul saranghae

I love you

내 손을 잡고 나 밖에 없다며

nae son-eul jabgo na bakk-e eopdamyeo

Holding my hand, you say you only have me
나같은 친구를 둔 게 정말 큰 축복이라며

nagat-eun chinguleul dun ge jeongmal keun chukbog-ilamyeo

You said having a friend like me is a great blessing
변치 말자고 말을 할 때마다

byeonchi maljago mal-eul hal ttaemada

Whenever you say let’s not change
조금씩 자라나는 내 사랑을 눌렀어

jogeumssik jarananeun nae sarang-eul nulleoss-eo

I push my slowly growing love down

차라리 내가 널 지키는 게 나을지도 모른다는 생각이

charali naega neol jikineun ge naeuljido moleundaneun saenggagi

Rather, I think it might be better for me to keep you
자꾸만 들었지만 참았어

jakkuman deul-eotjiman cham-ass-eo

I keep hearing it but had to endure
너를 잃어버릴까 두려워 하지만

neoreul ilheobeorilkka dulyeowo hajiman

I’m too scared to lose you, but

Baby

이제는 내게 와

ijeneun naege wa

Come to me now
And be my lady

너무나 오랫동안

neomuna olaetdong-an

For far too long
지켜봤어 말없이 서서

jikyeobwass-eo mal-eobs-i seoseo

I stood silently and watched
안타까운 가슴을 숨기며

antakkaun gaseum-eul sumgimyeo

Hiding this pitiable heart
친구로 친구로 지내야 한단 이유로

chingulo chingulo jinaeya handan iyulo

As a friend, I have to live as your friend
목까지 차올랐던 그 고백을 참아야 했어

mogkkaji chaollatdeon geu gobaeg-eul cham-aya haess-eo

I had to push my confession down my throat
하지만 이제는 고백할께

hajiman ijeneun gobaeghalkke

But now, I will confess
너를 사랑해

neoreul saranghae

I love you
