Kangta: Kamyeon (Persona)

Category: Music

I am not aware of K-pop until I played Super Dancer Online. In this music jamming game, there’s lots of tracks extracted from K-pop and that’s how I get to know more about K-pop. The first time I heard of this song by Kangta, even though I don’t understand what it means, it melts my heart straight away. Later, I found that there’s a Chinese version too. But still I prefer the original Korean version.

This song which I currently keep repeating is Kamyeon 가면 (Persona).

The romanized lyrics:

English translation:

Facade (Presona)

Because my throat bruned, my tears fell, because
everything infront of me blurred and because I couldn’t walk
I must not have been able to even call enough strength to
hold onto you, who’s getting farther away.
Not being able to make you laugh at least once, with my
heart that’s ripped and broken and already withered away
and useless, is my crazy attachment.

Don’t turn to look at me, Don’t turn around.
Just run away as you are and forget me.
Farther, a little farther, run away farther away from me.
It’s good that you’ve left me who’s so bad, so unworthy, so foolish.
Don’t have any memories don’t even remember me.
Even if you’re so lonely you think you might die.

The words, “be well” and “i’m sorry”
if you’re wanting to leave me
than instead just kill me right here and go.
Without you, day by day I’ll die away.
But you know, you know enough that it’s already too late to go back.
What about me who’s become so much like you.
How in the world? Why are you trying to leave me? Why?
