그래도 돼요 (If You Want) (English Translation) Lyrics
[Verse: Miyeon, Yuqi]
The tall buildings covering the night city
Like a heartbeat
And in the gray clouds that flow gently
A faint smile
[Pre-Chorus: Shuhua, Soyeon]
Sometimes I hold the broken
past (Ah-ah)
That was the case once, but now I know
That’s what I should have done
[Chorus: Minnie, Miyeon]
The scent of that season and the remaining temperature
I take out that trembling that became a note and look
Yes, that was the case back then, it was really good
I, who cried, can now say
Thank you, the day that ended
Thanks to you, it’s forever beautiful
[Pre-Chorus: Minnie]
I’ll let go of my will-less self
[Chorus: Yuqi, Soyeon, Shuhua]
Whenever it hurts, I’ll close my eyes and just
Hide it in the wind that blows hard and shout
If you can hear my heart, shout it out loud Even if I cry, you just pretend not to know and pass me by badly. That’s okay. Don’t ever love like this again.
그래도 돼요 (If You Want) Lyrics Meaning
[Verse: Miyeon, Yuqi]
Miyeon and Yuqi open the song with a vivid cityscape at night, using the imagery of tall buildings as beating hearts and drifting clouds as symbols of fleeting emotion. This sets a contemplative mood, where the external world mirrors inner emotions. The faint smile suggests a moment of peace amidst the quiet sadness, as they begin to reflect on a love that once was.
[Pre-Chorus: Shuhua, Soyeon]
Shuhua and Soyeon acknowledge the pain of holding onto a broken past. There’s a sense of coming to terms with what once was, realizing only now that certain things were necessary—even if they hurt. This marks a turning point in emotional growth, where the past is no longer something to run from but something to accept.
[Chorus: Minnie, Miyeon]
Minnie and Miyeon recall the lingering sensations of a past relationship—the scent of a season, the warmth left behind, and the trembling emotions that once existed. These memories are tenderly revisited, not with regret but with appreciation. They express gratitude for the love that ended, recognizing that its conclusion helped preserve its beauty, making it eternally meaningful despite the pain.
[Pre-Chorus: Minnie]
Minnie reflects on her former self—one that lacked courage and conviction. She bids farewell to this younger version, suggesting personal growth. It’s a symbolic act of releasing emotional immaturity, allowing space for healing and a new sense of self-awareness.
[Chorus: Yuqi, Soyeon, Shuhua]
This final chorus deepens the emotional vulnerability. Yuqi, Soyeon, and Shuhua describe the sudden waves of pain that resurface and the instinct to hide that sorrow in the wind. Even if the former lover hears the unspoken heartache or sees their tears, the message is clear: they don’t need to respond. The closing sentiment, “그래도 돼요 (If You Want),” gives permission to move on freely, coupled with a heartfelt plea not to engage in such painful love again—a bittersweet farewell marked by grace rather than resentment.
