Letting Go Lyrics in English DAY6

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Letting Go by DAY6 from Korean to English.
Hal mal isseo boja hagon
I told you, “We need to talk”
Amu mal eopsi maju anja
We sat facing each other without a word
Jigeum meorissogen
Right now in my head
I mareul haeya hana mana
I'm wondering if I should say this or not
Wonhaji anhjiman
I don't want to, but
Haneopsi kkeureoango ittdeon
What I've been holding onto without end
Neol nwaya hae
I have to let you go
Nan amugeotdo haejul su ittneun ge eoptneunde
I've got nothing I can do for you
Naega eopseoyaman
Only if I'm gone
Haengbokhal neoraseo
can you be happy
Noha noha noha
Let go, let go, let go
Eonjenga useul su ittge
So someday you'll be able to smile
Nega useul su ittge
So you can smile
Gwaenhi saenggaknaneun uri
For no reason, we pop into my mind
Useumyeo jangnanchideon naldeul
The days we laughed and played around
Neomudo sojunghan
Far too precious
Gieokdeuri gadeuk chaolla
Memories rise up and fill me
Wonhaji anhjiman
I don't want to, but
Haneopsi kkeureoango ittdeon
What I've been holding onto without end
Neol nwaya hae
I have to let you go
Nan amugeotdo haejul su ittneun ge eoptneunde
I've got nothing I can do for you
Naega eopseoyaman haengbokhal neoraseo
Because you'll be happy only if I'm gone
Noha noha noha
Let go, let go, let go
Butjapgo ittneun geon
What I'm clinging to
Neol wihan ge
is for you
Anin geol algie eokjiro neoreul mireonae
Knowing that's not true, I force myself to push you away
Hamkkehan siganeul uri chueogeul
The time we shared, our memories
Noha noha noha
Let go, let go, let go
Eonjenga useul su ittge
So someday you'll be able to smile
A noha noha naega neowa
Ah, let them go, let them go, you and I
Bwawattdeon haengbokhan miraeneun
The happy future we pictured
Hm
hm
Hm
Ije waseo
ije waseo
has now arrived
Baral suneun eopseo haepiending
There's no wishing for a happy ending
Bi on dwi ttangi gudeojideusi
Like the ground hardens after rain
Jamsi apeumeul gyeondyeonaemyeon bandeusi na daesin
If you endure a bit of pain, surely in my place
Neol deo utge haejul su ittneun
someone who can make you laugh even more
Sarameul mannal su ittge doel geonikka
will come for you to meet
I got to say good bye right now
I gotta say goodbye right now
Haneopsi kkeureoango ittdeon
What I've been holding onto without end
Neol nwaya hae
I have to let you go
Nan amugeotdo haejul su ittneun ge eoptneunde
I've got nothing I can do for you
Naega eopseoyaman haengbokhal neoraseo
Because you'll be happy only if I'm gone
Noha noha noha
Let go, let go, let go
Butjapgo ittneun geon
What I'm clinging to
Neol wihan ge
is for you
Anin geol algie eokjiro neoreul mireonae
Knowing that's not true, I force myself to push you away
Hamkkehan siganeul uri chueogeul
The time we shared, our memories
Noha noha noha
Let go, let go, let go
Eonjenga useul su itge
So someday you'll be able to smile

SONG MEANING

🎸 DAY6 – “Letting Go”

DAY6 turns a break-up into an explosive rock anthem packed with raw honesty. “Letting Go” follows a narrator who sits across from someone he still loves, wrestling with the painful truth that he can no longer make them happy. Even though memories of carefree laughter flood his mind, he decides the kindest thing he can do is release them: “Noha, noha, noha” – “Let go, let go, let go.”

This is not a selfish goodbye. It is a selfless act of love. By pushing away the person he once clung to, the narrator hopes they will someday smile again with someone new. The song captures that bittersweet mix of gratitude for the past and courage to face an uncertain future, all over pounding drums and soaring guitars that echo the emotional storm within. Press play, feel the ache, and learn how powerful it can be to say goodbye for someone else’s happiness.
