Editor's note
Ha Dong Kyun's 'Set Me Free' from the film Awaken
A ballad about breaking from endless nights and lost memories.
Set me free / i girui kkeute neoga boyeo
The lyric holds two different kinds of wanting. The Korean verses sit in the exhaustion of 'ireobeorin gieokdeureul', 'lost memories', and nights that won't finish. The English chorus is all forward motion, a repeated 'It's time' and 'Set me free' that wants to believe the road has a destination.
The phrase 'Set me free / i girui kkeute neoga boyeo', 'Set me free / At the end of this road, you appear', doesn't ask for an escape from pain so much as an arrival. It's waiting for the road to finally deliver the person who ends the wandering. The English 'Let me see / duryeopji ana', 'Let me see / Don't be afraid', feels less like a command and more like a quiet promise to whoever's waiting at that end.
It pins the whole song's hope on a single image: the end of a long road, and someone actually being there. The freedom isn't from something, it's to someone.
The way the Korean phrases like 'huimihage bichwojuneun', 'shining brilliantly', sit against the blunt English 'Set me free' gives the song its ache.

꿈이었길 바랬죠
kkumieotgil baraetjyo
끝이 없는 밤을 지샜죠
kkeuchi eomneun bameul jisaetjyo
희미하게 비춰주는 저 달을 따라서
huimihage bichwojuneun jeo dareul ttaraseo
어김없이 찾아오는 어둠을 삼키고 음
eogimeopsi chajaoneun eodumeul samkigo eum
It's time for us to get it away
It's time for us to get it away
그곳을 벗어나
geugoseul beoseona
잃어버린 기억들을 찾아가
ireobeorin gieokdeureul chajaga
Set me free 이 길의 끝에 너가 보여
Set me free i girui kkeute neoga boyeo
Let me see 두렵지 않아
Let me see duryeopji ana
Oh 조금 더 가까이
Oh jogeum deo gakkai
다가와 줄 수만 있다면 진실의 끝에서

Oh, set me free, oh, set me free
Oh, set me free, oh, set me free
사라지길 바랬죠
sarajigil baraetjyo
아무도 없는 세상에서
amudo eomneun sesang-eseo
나만 홀로 남겨질까? 두려운 나날들

하염없이 기다렸던 희망을 삼키고 음
hayeomeopsi gidaryeotdeon huimang-eul samkigo eum
It's time for us to get it away
