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
I told you, “We need to talk”
boja hagon
We sat facing each other without a word
amu mal eopsi
Right now in my head
maju anja
I'm wondering if I should say this or not
jigeum meoritsogen
I don't want to, but
i mareul haeya hana mana
What I've been holding onto without end
wonhaji anjiman
I have to let you go
haneopsi kkeureoango itdeon
I've got nothing I can do for you
neol nwaya hae
Only if I'm gone
nan amugeotdo haejul su itneun ge eopneunde
can you be happy
naega eopseoyaman haengbokal neoraseo
Let go, let go, let go
noha noha noha
So someday you'll be able to smile
eonjenga useul su itge
So you can smile
nega useul su itge
For no reason, we pop into my mind
gwaenhi saenggangnaneun uri
The days we laughed and played around
useumyeo jangnanchideon naldeul
Far too precious
neomudo sojunghan
Memories rise up and fill me
gieokdeuri gadeuk chaolra
I don't want to, but
wonhaji anjiman
What I've been holding onto without end
haneopsi kkeureoango itdeon
I have to let you go
neol nwaya hae
I've got nothing I can do for you
nan amugeotdo haejul su itneun ge eopneunde
Because you'll be happy only if I'm gone
naega eopseoyaman haengbokal neoraseo
Let go, let go, let go
noha noha noha
What I'm clinging to
butjapgo itneun geon
is for you
neol wihan ge
Knowing that's not true, I force myself to push you away
anin geol algie eokjiro neoreul mireonae
The time we shared, our memories
hamkkehan siganeul uri chueogeul
Let go, let go, let go
noha noha noha
So someday you'll be able to smile
eonjenga useul su itge
Ah, let them go, let them go, you and I
a noha noha naega neowa
The happy future we pictured
bwawatdeon haengbokan miraeneun
Hm
I know I know ije waseo
has now arrived
baral suneun eopseo haepiending
There's no wishing for a happy ending
bi on dwi ttangi gujeojideusi
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 itneun
someone who can make you laugh even more
sarameul mannal su itge doel geonikka
will come for you to meet
haneopsi kkeureoango itdeon
What I've been holding onto without end
neol nwaya hae
I have to let you go
nan amugeotdo haejul su itneun ge eopneunde
I've got nothing I can do for you
naega eopseoyaman haengbokal neoraseo
Because you'll be happy only if I'm gone
noha noha noha
Let go, let go, let go
butjapgo itneun 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.
