달랐을까 – What If English Translation Lyrics by Plave
Only after the flowers had fallen,
Only then,
Did I realize it was spring.
You were by my side so naturally,
So I didn’t notice.
After you left,
Only then,
Did I realize it was love.
You were beside me so naturally,
So I didn’t realize.
If I had held onto you back then,
If I had smiled at you more, would we
Have been different?
If I had hugged you back then,
If I hadn’t let go of your hand, would we
Be able to return to that time
When we were happy?
After you left,
Only then,
Did I realize it was goodbye.
The emptiness you left behind
Feels endlessly long,
That’s why.
If I had held onto you back then,
If I had smiled at you more, would we
Have been different?
If I had hugged you back then,
If I hadn’t let go of your hand, would we
Be able to return to that time
When we were happy?
Now I know well that no matter how many times I imagine,
Nothing will change.
But I keep thinking about that time,
And I regret it all over again.
If I had held onto you,
If I had cherished you more, would we
Have been different?
If I could see you again,
If it’s not too late, could we
Go back to that time
When we were in love?
