I won’t give up

"I Won't Give Up"은 자기중심적인 마음으로 만든 곡이에요. 많은 곡들이 그렇듯이, 전 제 삶에 대체 뭔 일이 일어나고 있는 건지, 이 세상에서 제 역할이 뭔지 이해해본답시고 가사를 써요. 제가 얻은 교훈과 기적들을 이해하고, 가사로 써보고, 그 것들을 이해한다는 걸 증명해보이고, 제 삶에 실제로 적용하고, 계속 나아가는 거죠. I Won't Give Up의 가사는 연인 관계를 다루는 것처럼 썼지만 꼭 인간 관계에 대한 노래인 건 아니에요. 제가 생각하는 이 노래의 진짜 의미는 브리지(bridge) 부분에 담겨있는데요, "쉽게 포기하고 돌아서는 사람이 되고 싶지 않다. 여기 꿋꿋이 남아서 변화를 가져오고 싶다"는 거에요.

I Won't Give Up

Jason Mraz

 
When I look into your eyes
당신의 눈을 들여다보면

It's like watching the night sky
밤하늘을 보는 것 같고

Or a beautiful sunrise
아름다운 해돋이를 보는 것 같아요

There's so much they hold
당신의 눈은 너무나도 많은 걸 담고있죠

And just like them old stars
오래된 별들처럼
I see that you've come so far
당신이 지금 있는 곳에 이르기까지

To be right where you are
먼 길을 왔군요
How old is your soul?
당신의 영혼은 얼마나 오래됬죠?

I won't give up on us
난 우리를 포기하지 않을래요

Even if the skies get rough
하늘이 거칠어진다해도

I'm giving you all my love
당신에게 내 사랑을 다바쳐요

I'm still looking up
난 희망을 잃지 않아요


And when you're needing your space
당신이 모험을 떠날때

To do some navigating
혼자만의 공간이 필요하다면

I'll be here patiently waiting
당신이 무엇을 찾아내는지 보기위해

To see what you find
곁에서 꿋꿋이 기다릴게요

'Cause even the stars they burn
불타버리는 별들도 있고

Some even fall to the earth
땅에 떨어지는 별들도 있는걸요

We've got a lot to learn
우린 배워나갈 게 많아요

God knows we're worth it
우린 분명 가치있는 존재에요

No, I won't give up
난 포기하지 않을래요


I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
나는 쉽게 돌아서는 사람이 되고싶지 않아요

I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
여기 남아서 할 수 있는한 변화를 가져올래요

Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
우리가 가진 차이점은 
The tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake
각자의 도구와 재능을 어떻게 사용할지 많은 가르침을 주죠 해결해야 할일이 많아요

And in the end, you're still my friend, at least we did intend for us to work
우린 친구로 남을거에요, 우리 관계를 지키려고 노력했잖아요

we didn't break, we didn't burn
망가진 것도 아니고, 불타버린 것도 아닌걸요

We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
절망하지 않고 자신을 굽히는 방법을 배워야했죠

I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not
내가 뭘 가졌는지, 내가 무엇이 아닌지,
And who I am
내가 누구인지 배워야했어요


I won't give up on us
난 우리를 포기하지 않을래요

Even if the skies get rough
하늘이 거칠어진다해도

I'm giving you all my love
당신에게 내 사랑을 다 바쳐요

I'm still looking up
난 희망을 잃지 않아요


I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
난 우리를 포기하지 않을래요 (포기하지 않을래요)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
난 충분히 강인해요 (난 강인해요, 사랑받고 있어요)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
배워나갈 게 많아요 (우린 살아있어요, 사랑받고 있어요)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)
우린 분명 가치있는 존재에요 (가치있는 존재에요)

I won't give up on us
포기하지 않을래요

Even if the skies get rough
하늘이 거칠어지더라도
I'm giving you all my love
당신에게 내 사랑을 다 바쳐요

I'm still looking up
난 희망을 잃지 않아요
