[MV] Jonghyun - Before Our Spring

This one is a tribute from the company. It's a compilation of little clips from throughout his career. The song is the final track on the album and is the most emotionally resonant to the circumstances, so I wouldn't recommend watching/listening if that would be too overwhelming for you.



I'll put a translation of the lyrics in the full post.

Honestly, I was relatively okay listening to Jonghyun’s album. And then the last track was a punch in the gut.

“Before Our Spring” translated here because his poetry needs to be understood and appreciated. pic.twitter.com/KZKOpx2jjt

Before our spring comes
Before it's warm, should we see each other once?
Before the day brightens
When everyone is asleep, let's be sure to meet.

Truthfully, I like looking at you
I like keeping watch over you
Looking at you smiling
Just watching over you is comfortable

It's a foolish thing to say
But I'm afraid to set out in front of you
Even if you don't understand me
That's okay, that's okay
Because time still remains
Until spring comes

Truthfully, I don't like that spring is coming again
That it's getting warm again
Looking at you smiling quietly
From faraway
My heart aches

It's a foolish thing to say
But I'm afraid to set out in front of you
Even if you don't understand me
That's okay, that's okay
Because time still remains
Until spring comes

This spring is coming faster than before
The cold and frozen winter still remains
Don't concern yourself over what to do
I'm okay, spring will come to me again

I'm afraid to set out in front of you
That it might be contagious to you
Forget my tears, my sadness
When spring comes to me too, then, then, then
Then
