Don't Tell Me It's Not Love (사랑이 아니라 말하지 말아요) Lyrics
Last Updated: • Published • by orryanA song by Lee Sora (이소라) originally released in 1993, Don't Tell Me It's Not Love (사랑이 아니라 말하지 말아요) is an emotional ballad about a person who is in love, and refuses to accept denials about their feelings.
I first came across this song in Younha's 6th album MINDSET, and while looking it up, I found out that it has been popularly covered by singers such as Kim Dongryul (이소라), Lee Seunggi (이승기), Kwak Jineon (곽잔언), and many others.
Verse 1
내 사랑이
My love
nae sarangi
사랑이 아니라고는 말하지 말아요
Don't tell me it's not love
sarangi aniragoneun malhaji marayo
보이지 않는 길을 걸으려 한다고
I try to walk on an unseen path
boiji anhneun gireul georeuryeo handago
괜한 헛수고라 생각하진 말아요
Don't think it's useless
gwaenhan heotsugora saenggakhajin marayo
Verse 2
내 마음이
My heart
nae maeumi
헛된 희망이라고는 말하지 말아요
Don't tell me it's a vain hope
heotdwin heuimangiragoen malhaji marayo
정상이 없는 산을 오르려 한다고
I try to climb a mountain without a peak
jeongsangi eoptneun saneul oreuryeo handago
나의 무모함을 비웃지는 말아요
Don't laugh at my recklessness
na-eui mumohameul biutjineun marayo
Chorus
그대 두 손을 놓쳐서
Because I let go of your two hands
geudae du soneul nochyeoseo
난 길을 잃었죠
I lost my way
nan gireul irheottjyo
허나 멈출 수가 없어요
But I can't stop
heona meomchul suga eopseoyo
이게 내 사랑인걸요
Because this is my love
ige nae sarangingeolyo
Chorus
그대 두 손을 놓쳐서
Because I let go of your two hands
geudae du soneul nochyeoseo
난 길을 잃었죠
I lost my way
nan gireul irheotjyo
허나 멈출 수가 없어요
But I can't stop
heona meomchul suga eopseoyo
이게 내 사랑인걸요
Because this is my love
ige nae sarangingeolyo
Outro
내 사랑이
My love
nae sarangi
사랑이 아니라고는 말하지 말아요
Don't tell me it's not love
sarangi aniragoneun malhaji marayo
그대 없이 나 홀로 하려 한다고
I try to be alone without you
geudae eopsi na hollo haryeo handago
나의 이런 사랑이 사랑이 아니라고
Don't try to convince me that my love is not love
na-eui ireon sarangi sarangi anirago
나를 설득하려 말아요
Don't try to persuade me
nareul seoldeukharyeo marayo
