IU - 라일락 (LILAC) (English Translation) Lyrics
Carried pollen tingling my eyes (Itchy)
I’ll bear my tears
It’s the moment I’ll keep in my secret orgel box
And rewind it forever
[Pre-Chorus]
Take a good care of our last moment in the page
Could this last goodbye be any more perfect?
Love me only till this spring
[Chorus]
Oh lilac, the day under the petals canopy good bye
This ending matches right
It's like the falling petals
Our ivory colored spring climax
How glorious it is!
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Love me only 'till this spring
Like the warm breeze
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Lovе me only 'till this spring
Like the warm breezе
Flooding with tenderness makes me hum (Lala)
Hum with a slight smile
How perfect the sky and wind are!
I especially like the way I look today
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me I look pretty like the day we first met
Could this last good-bye be any sweeter?
Love resembles misty dream
[Chorus]
Oh lilac, the day under the petals canopy good bye
This ending matches right
It’s like the falling petals
Our ivory colored spring climax
How glorious it is!
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Love resembles misty dream
Like a drifting cloud
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Love resembles misty dream
Like a drifting cloud
Will you forget me someday?
Will you forget our faces and the scent of today?
While having a good nap
Like a faded mid-spring’s dream
[Chorus]
Oh lilac, the day under the petals canopy goodbye
Your words make me cry
It’s like we’re destined to part
Our ivory colored spring climax
How glorious it is!
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Love me only 'till this spring (Oh)
Like the warm breeze (Like the warm breeze)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh)
Love me only 'till this spring
Like the warm breeze
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Love resembles misty dream
Like a drifting cloud (Like a drifting cloud)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Love resembles misty dream
Like a drifting cloud
