EPIK HIGH - 문배동 단골집 (Munbae-dong) [English Translation]
[Verse 1: Tablo]
Been a few years but can’t forget
Our favourite place, that saw our beginning and end
Remembered it a few days ago all of a sudden
But when I went to visit, it was gone
Standing there was a phone store instead, as if it’s been there the whole time
In the corner where our names would be carved into the wall, an LED screen flashed ads instead
[Verse 2: Tablo]
How funny - there was once a time where my call history was filled up with your name
And not long ago, I dropped my phone while fidgeting and thinking about you
So it was about time I changed phones, then I happened to come across this store
Not sure if time is running fast or I’m running slow, but I’m finding it hard to catch up
The world keeps changing, and it’s hard to find someone who wouldn’t change
[Refrain: Crush]
Where to, where to?
To the place you and I were staying
Cuz I wanna go back
Man, things done changed
At the place where I would hear Kim Gun-mo, Taiji Boys, and Exhibition
All I hear now is TRAP
Man, things done changed
[Verse 3: Mithra Jin]
My dream was my everything around my twenties
My wallet would always be full of sighs and worries
On nights where I craved a drink
I’d find solace in the bar in the bygone days of youth
Kept thinking of it today of all days, so turned my car around
I’ve forgotten for so long
For years. Time does fly
I’m nearly there, holding my breath already
It would be right around the corner of that building
[Verse 4: Mithra Jin]
Trees lining the street, a few empty benches
Lovers exchanging whispers and the neatly organized footpath
There stood a scene - only unknown to me - stepping on my memories
As nothing lasts forever, I, too, would slowly collect dust on the far side of time that heartlessly passes by
I’d be remembered, right?
[Refrain #2: Crush]
Here or there?
Where does my path lie?
Cuz I wanna go back
Man, things done changed
At the place where
I would hear Epik High on rainy days
All I hear now is TRAP
Man, things done changed
[Bridge: Crush]
Though nothing lasts forever
I’ll wave to you across the river of time
Some things don’t change
Though nothing lasts forever
I’ll wait, across the wall of time
Some things don’t change
If you call my name again
[Outro: Crush, Tablo]
I’ll (time flies) come back (it’s time now)
(To say) If you think of me once in a while (bye bye)
I’ll (time flies) come back
(It’s time now) If you shed (to say) tears for me (bye bye)
I’ll (time flies) come back
(It’s time now) If you leave a place (to say) in your heart for me (bye bye)
I’ll (time flies) come back (it’s time now)
(To say) back to you
