Even the time when flowers bloomed widely, now all
내겐 lie lie lie
naegen lie lie lie
For me, lie lie lie
붉게 타버려진 너와 나
bulke tabeoryeojin neowa na
You and I, turned red in flames
난 괜찮아 넌 괜찮을까
nan gwaenchana neon gwaenchanheulkka
Am I okay? Are you okay?
구름 한 점 없이 예쁜 날
guleum han jeom eopsi yeppeun nal
A beautiful day without a single cloud
꽃향기만 남기고 갔단다
kkochhyanggiman namgigo gatdanda
Left only with the fragrance of flowers
꽃향기만 남기고 갔단다
kkochhyanggiman namgigo gatdanda
Left only with the fragrance of flowers
You and me, 미칠 듯이 뜨거웠지만
You and me, michil deut-i tteugeowotjiman
You and me, it was so hot as if going crazy
처참하게 짓밟혀진 내 하나뿐인 라일락
cheochamhage jibathyeojin nae hanappunin laillak
My one and only lilac, trampled miserably
난 하얀 꽃잎처럼 날아가
nan hayan kkotipcheoreom naraga
I fly like white flower petals
잡지 않은 것은 너니까
jabji anheun geos-eun neonikka
Not catching, because it's you
살랑살랑 부는 바람에 이끌려
sallang sallang buneun balam-e ikkeullyeo
Swaying, swaying, guided by the blowing wind
봄은 오지만 우린 bye bye bye
bom-eun ojiman ulin bye bye bye
Spring is coming, but we say bye bye bye
붉게 타버려진 너와 나
bulke tabeolyeojin neowa na
You and I, turned red in flames
난 괜찮아 넌 괜찮을까
nan gwaenchana neon gwaenchanheulkka
Am I okay? Are you okay?
구름 한 점 없이 예쁜 날
guleum han jeom eopsi yeppeun nal
A beautiful day without a single cloud
꽃향기만 남기고 갔단다
kkochhyanggiman namgigo gatdanda
Left only with the fragrance of flowers
꽃향기만 남기고 갔단다
kkochhyanggiman namgigo gatdanda
Left only with the fragrance of flowers
이젠 안녕 goodbye
ijen annyeong goodbye
Now, goodbye, farewell
뒤는 절대 안 봐
dwineun jeoldae an bwa
I will never look back
미련이란 이름의 잎새 하나
milyeon-ilan ileum-ui ipae hana
One leaf with the name of regret
봄비에 너에게서 떨어져
bom-bi-e neoege-seo tteoleojyeo
Falls from you in the spring rain
꽃향기만 남아

Only the fragrance of flowers remains
꽃향기만 남기고 갔단다

Left only with the fragrance of flowers
Song Interpretation
Short Summary
"꽃/Flower" by Jisoo expresses a poignant reflection on love and separation, symbolized by flowers and their fragrance. The lyrics depict the fleeting nature of a passionate relationship and the lingering emotions after it fades.
Detailed Insights
The song opens with a sense of innocence and kindness, comparing the narrator's past self to something pure and simple like "ABC" and "Do Re Mi." However, the dynamic shifts as the relationship progresses, and the narrator's feelings become more complex. The metaphor of a blue butterfly flying away represents the fleeting nature of the connection, symbolizing both freedom and the inability to hold on.
The imagery of flowers, especially the fragrance left behind, suggests the remnants of love that linger after the relationship ends. The lyrics describe intense emotions, contrasting warmth ("as hot as going crazy") with destruction, as the "lilac" is "trampled miserably." The repeated reference to flower scents signifies how the past, though beautiful, has become a memory that cannot be fully grasped or recovered.
The final lines of the song indicate acceptance and resolve: the narrator refuses to look back and embraces the inevitable goodbye, leaving behind only the memory of love, represented by the flower's fragrance. There is a sense of finality, but also a quiet understanding that the cycle of love and loss is part of life.
