Update: Click here for the lyrics to Morissette Amon‘s cover to 체념.
I remember wanting to post this awhile back, but I never had the chance of posting the lyrics of this ballad song.
It’ s Resignation or Giving Up (체념) by Big Mama.
I first heard this song maybe 3 years ago, when I was addicted to DBSK (they were still 5 that time). I saw Xiah Junsu sing this song and I fell in love with his voice as well as the song. The original song was actually sung by a group called Big Mama. Unlike most Kpop girl idol groups, this girls were a little voluptuous but they can belt a song.
I am sucker for sad songs and thus after reading the english translation I ultimately fell for the song. The song is about a girl saying she will be giving up on the relationship she has with someone and she told him to be happy. Who wouldn’t fall for that, because I bet most girls did feel that way at one point in their lives, be it unrequited love or with an existing relationship. Ok I’ll stop being a drama queen now.
I couldn’t find any romanization that I liked online, so I decided to make my own. Feel free to use it as long as you credit me if you do.

Resignation / Giving Up (Translation)
I was happy, the times that I spent with you, even though it must have been hard for you.
It’s not that I didn’t know how you felt in your heart, I felt it too.
Letting you go, just letting you go, I’m still not quite used to it.
Because this was the only thing you could do, I am hurt by you.
Why didn’t you tell me? Or is that you couldn’t tell me? Did you not think of me a little?
If you liked me, If you loved me. If you were gonna end it like this, why did you say all those things?
Do I have to hate you or should I blame myself?
If I could go back in time
The only thing I want is to go back to us in the past.
Why didn’t you tell me? Or is that you couldn’t tell me? Did you not think of me a little?
If you liked me, If you loved me. If you were gonna end it like this, why did you say all those things?
Do I have to hate you or should I blame myself?
If I could go back in time
The only thing I want is to go back to us in the past.
i won’t question your choice anymore.
If you want to leave me, leave without looking back.
I wont show any tears because my heart will just get weak
Your figure moving away from me is getting blurrier, I think tears are forming.
I think I will miss you very much, but I have to hold it in so that I can forget you.
I never want to do anything like love ever again
So that my last love belongs to you who turned away from me.
I hope you are happy and that you meet a better girl than me.
Resignation / Giving Up (Hangeul)
행복했어 너와의 시간들 아마도 너는 힘들었겠지
너의 마음을 몰랐던건 아니야 나도 느꼈었지만
널 보내는게 널 떠나 보내는게 아직은 익숙하지가 않아
그렇게밖에 할 수 없던 니가 원망스러워
왜 말 안했니 아님 못한거니 조금도 날 생각하지 않았니
좋아한다면 사랑한다면 이렇게 끝낼거면서 왜 그런말을 했니
널 미워해야만 하는거니 아니면 내탓을 해야만 하는거니
시간을 돌릴수만 있다면
다시 예전으로 돌아가고 싶은 마음 뿐이야
왜 말 안했니 아님 못한거니 조금도 날 생각하지 않았니
좋아한다면 사랑한다면 이렇게 끝낼거면서 왜 그런말을 했니
널 미워해야만 하는거니 아니면 내탓을 해야만 하는거니
시간을 돌릴수만 있다면
다시 예전으로 돌아가고 싶은 마음 뿐이야
그래 더이상 묻지 않을게
내곁을 떠나고 싶다면 돌아보지 말고 떠나가
눈물은 흘리지 않을께 괜히 마음만 약해지니깐
내게서 멀어진 니 모습이 흐릿하게 보여 눈물이 나나봐
널 많이 그리워할 것 같아 참아야만 하겠지 잊혀질 수 있도록
다신 사랑같은거 하지 않을래
내 마지막 사랑은 돌아선 너에게 주고 싶어서
행복하길 바래 나보다 좋은 여자 만나기를
