Kiss And Say Goodbye

Kiss And Say Goodbye, The Manhattans
더 맨하탄즈의 키스 앤 세이 굿바이

이 노래가 죽이는 노래로 들린다는 건 마흔이 넘었다는 뜻일까요?
1976년에 발표된 이 노래.
수도 없이 들었고, 셀 수도 없이 많이 들어야 했던 노래입니다.

카페를 위한 노래라고 해야 하나,
연인들을 위한 노래라고 해야 하나,
무드 잡기에 아주 좋은 노래입니다.

조용히 들어보세요. 고요할 때. 이 노래 대단합니다. 
사랑에 빠졌을 때, 혹은 막 이별했을 때 들으면 가슴이 찢어집니다.

오늘은 내 생에서 가장 슬픈 날이 될 거야.
안 좋은 소식이 좀 있어서 당신을 여기서 보자고 그랬어.
난 당신을 더는 볼 수 없어...

노래는 이렇게 시작됩니다. 노래를 망치지 않기 위해 번역을 멈춥니다. 

[독백]
This has got to be the saddest day of my life
I called you here today for a bit of bad news
I won't be able to see you anymore
Because of my obligations, and the ties that you have
We've been meeting here everyday
And since this is our last day together
I wanna hold you just one more time
When you turn and walk away, don't look back
I wanna remember you just like this
Let's just kiss and say goodbye

[노래]
I had to meet you here today
There's just so many things to say
Please don't stop me 'til I'm through
This is something I hate to do
We've been meeting here so long
I guess what we done, oh was wrong
Please darlin', don't you cry
Let's just kiss and say goodbye (Goodbye)

Many months have passed us by
(I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
I've got ties, and so do you
I just think this is the thing to do
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
Maybe you'll meet, you'll meet another guy
Understand me, won't you try, try, try, try, try, try, try
Let's just kiss and say goodbye (Goodbye)

(I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
Understand me, won't you try
(I'm gonna miss you)
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
Take my hankerchief, wipe your eyes
(I'm gonna miss you)
Maybe you'll find, you'll find another guy
(I'm gonna miss you)
Let's kiss and say goodbye, pretty baby
(I'm gonna miss you)
Please, don't you cry
(I'm gonna miss you)
Understand me, won't you try
(I'm gonna miss you)
Let's just kiss
And say goodbye
