황금빛 강 (Gold River) Lyrics (English Translation) – Parannoul (파란노을)

[Verse 1]
I recall the feeling of the sunrise left in my eyes
Your echo that wants to be happy
You wanted the need to move yourself
Someday I will realize your meaning

[Chorus]
I remember memories of memories, memories of memories
I remember memories of memories, memories of memories
I remember memories of memories, memories of memories
I won’t forget your brilliant golden river

[Verse 2]
Will you understand that self-talk that I couldn’t reply to now?
I’ll be fine when I wake up tomorrow

[Chorus]
I remember memories of memories, memories of memories
I remember memories of memories, memories of memories
I remember memories of memories, memories of memories
I won’t forget your brilliant golden river

[Outro]
Even if another day passes and another year passes by
Even if the sky changes hundreds of times and becomes cloudy
I remember memories of memories, memories of memories
I won’t forget your brilliant golden river

[Verse 1]
The first verse reflects on the lingering sensations of a past experience, perhaps a relationship. The imagery of recalling the sunrise in one’s eyes suggests a profound memory, implying that even though the relationship may have ended, the emotional impact remains. The mention of the other person’s desire for happiness and the singer’s acknowledgment of their own need for personal growth indicates a sense of introspection and longing for understanding.

[Chorus]
The chorus emphasizes the repetition of memories, indicating their persistence in the singer’s mind. The phrase “memories of memories” suggests a recursive quality, where the past is continuously revisited. Despite this repetition, the singer asserts that they won’t forget the significant moments shared with their past lover, likening them to a “brilliant golden river,” implying their enduring beauty and importance.

[Verse 2]
The second verse poses a question to the past lover, asking if they will ever understand the internal dialogue that the singer couldn’t express at the time. This suggests unresolved feelings or thoughts that the singer now contemplates. The assurance of being “fine” upon waking up tomorrow hints at a hopeful outlook for the future despite the uncertainties of the past.

[Chorus]
Similar to the earlier chorus, this repetition of memories highlights their persistent nature. The singer reaffirms their commitment to remembering the past, indicating that the memories hold significant value despite the passage of time. The reference to the “brilliant golden river” again underscores the lasting impression of the past relationship.

[Outro]
The outro reflects on the passage of time and the inevitability of change. Despite the uncertainties and fluctuations in life, the singer declares their determination to hold onto the memories of the past. The imagery of the changing sky and the persistence of memories reinforces the theme of enduring significance and emotional resonance.
