Lyrics
I don't want to let you go,
please don't leave.
아파트를 나서니
거리는 텅 비어 있다.
내가 붙잡자 네가 손으로 밀쳐내고
거리를 향해 걸어 나간다.
새벽이 밝아올 무렵
이렇게 널 잃는 게 아프다.
네가 돌아서서 나를 바라보지만 아무 말도 하지 않는다.
가지 마, 이브, 너는 그저 길을 걸어 내려갈 뿐이다.
해가 뜨자 네온 불빛이 꺼진다.
Cars drive by
in wonderful Seoul.
군중 속에서 너를 잃어버렸어,
어쩌지?
전화를 걸어도 너는 받지 않아.
EVE, where are you?
I'm sorry, I've lost you.
나는 인도 위에 서 있다.
수백 명의 사람들이 나를 본다.
“야, 너 그 라틴계 유튜버잖아.”
“우리랑 사진 한 장 찍어줘.”
나는 오직 너만을 생각한다.
너는 버스를 탔다.
너는 서울을 떠나기로 결심했다.
나를 사랑하고 싶지 않았기 때문에,
도망쳐서 떠나버리는 걸 선택했지.
Cars drive by
in wonderful Seoul.
군중 속에서 너를 잃어버렸어,
어쩌지?
전화를 걸어도 너는 받지 않아.
EVE, where are you?
I'm sorry, I've lost you.
Cars drive by
in wonderful Seoul.
군중 속에서 너를 잃어버렸어,
어쩌지?
전화를 걸어도 너는 받지 않아.
EVE, where are you?
I'm sorry, I've lost you.
네가 더 이상 여기 없다면
어떻게 해야 할까?
널 잃는 건 아파.
내가 널 사랑했음을 알았다면.
I don't want to let you go.
Please don't leave.

English Version:
I don't want to let you go,
please don't leave.
You leave the apartment,
and the street is empty.
I hold you back, you push me away with your hand
and walk out onto the street.
At the break of dawn,
it hurts to lose you like this.
You turn to look at me and say nothing.
Don't go, EVE, you just walk down the street.
The neon lights go out as the sun rises.
Cars drive by
in wonderful Seoul.
I lose you in the crowd,
What do I do?
I call you and you don't answer.
EVE, where are you?
I'm sorry, I've lost you.
instrumental pause
I stand on the sidewalk.
Hundreds of people see me.
Hey, you're the Latin YouTuber.
Let us take a picture with you.
I only think about you.
You've taken a bus.
You decided to leave Seoul.
Because you didn't want to love me,
You preferred to run away and leave.
Cars drive by
in wonderful Seoul.
I lose you in the crowd.
What do I do?
I call you and you don't answer.
EVE, where are you?
I'm sorry, I've lost you.
Cars drive by
in wonderful Seoul.
I lose you in the crowd,
What do I do?
I call you and you don't answer.
EVE, where are you?
I'm sorry, I've lost you.
What should I do if you're no longer here?
It hurts to lose you.
If you know I loved you.
I don't want to let you go.
Please don't leave.

日本語版：
君を手放したくない、
どうか行かないで。
君がアパートを出て行くと、
通りは誰もいない。
僕は君を抱きしめるが、君は手で僕を押しのけて
通りへ出て行く。
夜明けとともに、
こんな風に君を失うのは辛い。
君は振り返って私を見て、何も言わない。
行かないで、EVE、ただ通りを歩いて。
太陽が昇るにつれ、ネオンは消えていく。
車が通り過ぎる。
素敵なソウル。
人混みの中で君を見失ってしまった。
どうすればいい？
電話をかけても、君は出ない。
EVE、どこにいるの？
ごめん、君を見失ってしまった。
インストゥルメンタルの休止
僕は歩道に立っている。
何百人もの人が僕を見ている。
ねえ、君はあのラテン系YouTuberだね。
一緒に写真を撮ろう。君のことばかり考えている。
君はバスに乗った。
君はソウルを去ることにした。
僕を愛したくなかったから、
君は逃げて去ることを選んだ。
車が通り過ぎる
素敵なソウル。
人混みの中で君を見失った。
どうしよう？
電話しても出ない。
イヴ、どこにいるの？
ごめん、君を見失ってしまった。
車が通り過ぎる
素敵なソウル。
人混みの中で君を見失った。
どうしよう？
電話しても出ない。
イヴ、どこにいるの？
ごめん、君を見失ってしまった。
もし君がもうここにいなくなったら、どうすればいいの？
君を失うのは辛い。
もし君が、僕が君を愛していたことを知っていたなら。
君を手放したくない。
どうか行かないで。
