RaRa_Team ♠ Couldn't Hold You (Ⅰ) (Audio) (En Version 1)

 

컨트리, 팝 장르의 곡이긴 하지만 단지 듣는 것으로 구분하기 어려울 만큼 근대적인 형태의 곡이다. 

Witch house + elctro swing 이 요소가 있어서 그런것 같다. 위치 하우스는 '마녀의 집'으로 게임 등의 요소에 쓰이는 전자음악의 한 장르라고 한다. 일렉트로 스윙은 '전자음악 + 재즈'으로 보면 되지 않을까? 스윙 자체가 재즈의 핵심 리듬이기 때문이다. 

최근에는 뮤직 아티스트의 스타일로 하고 있지만 또한 이런 장르의 조합을 통해서 만들기도 하니까~

[Couldn't Hold You] 

 

[Verse 1]

 

Though I always looked your way,

I couldn’t bring myself to come closer.

 

I just wanted to be near you, even if only as a friend.

I couldn’t bear to ask you to be my love.

 

Because I knew when my time would end,

I knew I was being a coward.

 

Instead of asking for forgiveness,

I’ll just say goodbye now.

 

[Chorus]

 

I’m sorry for leaving scars so deep.

I wanted my love returned only as friendship.

 

I couldn’t stand to see you abandoned

In a world where I no longer exist.

 

But maybe I was wrong after all.

Perhaps now, I’m meant to be with you.

 

[Verse 2]

 

I always gazed in the same direction,

But you kept pushing me away.

 

I hated how you drew a line with the word “friend.”

Why can’t we be in love?

I just want to come closer to you.

 

I’m tired now, it's hard to keep watching you like this.

Do you know how cowardly I feel?

 

Yet even so,

I can’t leave you behind.

 

[Chorus]

 

I won’t forgive the hurt you gave me.

I don’t want to stay just your friend anymore.

 

I never even thought

About living without you by my side.

 

But maybe I was wrong after all.

Perhaps now, I need to leave you behind.

 

[Bridge]

 

Why did we always look in the same direction,

Only to regret not being together?

 

Foolishly, I drew a line and hid my love.

Why couldn’t I be honest,

Even though I knew I’d regret it?

 

I’m afraid now, as time slips by faster.

It’s because I’ve become greedy.

 

Even though I want to hold on,

I hate myself for needing to let you go.

 

[Chorus]

 

I’ll endure the punishment of this goodbye.

Drawing lines was all I ever did.

 

The time we couldn’t spend together,

I’ll spend longing for you instead.

 

I’ll carry the painful memories.

So you can live on, happily.

 

[Outro]

 

Was it selfish to dream of a happy ending?

 

Even after you left, I missed you,

Though I never held you properly.

 

This love has left me with so much regret.
