ECLIPSE “Sudden Shower” Lyrics
Hangul
그치지 않기를 바랬죠
처음 그대 내게로 오던 그날에
잠시 동안 적시는
그런 비가 아니길
간절히 난 바래왔었죠
그대도 내 맘 아나요
매일 그대만 그려왔던 나를
오늘도 내 맘에 스며들죠
그대는 선물입니다
하늘이 내려준
홀로 선 세상 속에
그댈 지켜줄게요
어느 날 문득
소나기처럼
내린 그대지만
오늘도 불러 봅니다
내겐 소중한 사람
Oh
떨어지는 빗물이
어느새 날 깨우고
그대 생각에 잠겨요
이제는 내게로 와요
언제나처럼 기다리고 있죠
그대 손을 꼭 잡아줄게요
그대는 선물입니다
하늘이 내려준
홀로 선 세상 속에
그댈 지켜줄게요
어느 날 문득
소나기처럼
내린 그대지만
오늘도 불러 봅니다
내겐 소중한 사람
잊고 싶던 아픈 기억들도
빗방울과 함께 흘려보내면 돼요
때로는 지쳐도
하늘이 흐려도
내가 있다는 걸 잊지 말아요
그대는 사랑입니다
하나뿐인 사랑
다시는 그대와 같은
사랑 없을 테니
잊지 않아요
내게 주었던
작은 기억 하나도
오늘도 새겨봅니다
내겐 선물인 그댈

Translation
I hoped it wouldn’t stop
On the day you first came to me
I earnestly wished
It wouldn’t be
Just a passing shower
Do you know my heart too?
I’ve been drawing only you every day
Today, you seep into my heart
You are a gift
Sent down by the sky
In this lonely world
I will protect you
Someday, suddenly
Like a sudden shower
You came down
I call out to you again today
You are precious to me
Oh
The falling raindrops
Suddenly wake me up
I get lost in thoughts of you
Now come to me
I’m waiting for you as always
I will hold your hand tightly
You are a gift
Sent down by the sky
In this lonely world
I will protect you
Someday, suddenly
Like a sudden shower
You came down
I call out to you again today
You are precious to me
Even the painful memories I wanted to forget
Can be let go with the raindrops
Sometimes tired
Even if the sky is cloudy
Don’t forget that I exist
You are love
One and only love
There will never be
Love like yours again
I won’t forget
Not even a single
Small memory you gave me
I engrave you again today
You, who are a gift to me
