Had I Known Before

Spring, autumn, every night the rising moon—
Had I known before!

That I would yearn for it so achingly—
Had I known before!

To look at the moon that shines so brightly—
Had I known before!

Now, this moon is my sorrow—
O, Had I known before!

예전엔 미처 몰랐어요


봄 가을 없이 밤마다 돋는 달도
<예전엔 미처 몰랐어요>

이렇게 사무치게 그리울 줄도
<예전엔 미처 몰랐어요>


달이 암만 밝아도 쳐다볼 줄을
<예전엔 미쳐 몰랐어요>


이제금 저 달이 설음인 줄은
<예전엔 미처 몰랐어요>
