You’re Lyrics (Korean)
서글픈 기억에 날 깊이 가둬두고 그림자만 쫓아 다녔어 이젠 다 사랑할래~ And I am going to the right way for you 저기 저 하늘 끝까지 달릴 꺼야 소중한 기억을 잃어도 더 새로운 미래를 얻었으니까 수평선 끝자락에 가득 담긴 너희들에 사랑에 보답할 수 있도록 내가 널 지켜낼 꺼야 그래… 무엇과도 바꿀 수 없는 너와 나 그리고 모두….우린 하나이니까.. 코 끝을 간지럽히는 coffee 향도 살랑거리는 봄바람 꽃 향기도 날 반겨 주잖아 (날 반겨 주잖아) 우릴 보고 웃잖아… 그래 긴 밤사이 내려온 이슬을 머금은 풀잎 싱그럼만으로도 우린 행복하니까 And I am going to the right way for you 저기 저 하늘 끝까지 달릴 꺼야 소중한 기억을 잃어도 더 새로운 미래를 얻었으니까 수평선 끝자락에 가득 담긴 너희들에 사랑에 보답할 수 있도록 내가 널 지켜낼 꺼야 그래… 무엇과도 바꿀수 없는 너와 나 그리고 모두, 우린 하나이니까.. 구름 뒤에 숨어서 울고 있던 거야 이젠 당당히 펴고 세상을 바라봐 함성소리가 들리잖아 따뜻하기만 했던 우리 꿈이 점점 멀어질 땐 암흑 정전 그 때 그 누군 너흰 이미 정점 내려갈 길만 남은 초점 흐려진 이미 다 떨어져버린 살점 그래 바로 그때야 너희들이 우리 손을 꽉 잡아 준건 멋 적은 우리 미소를 되찾아 준건 보란 듯이 누구보다 하늘까지 뛰어보라 힘을 되찾아준 너 수평선 끝자락에 가득 담긴 너희들에 사랑에 보답할 수 있도록 내가 널 지켜낼 꺼야 그래~ 무엇과도 바꿀 수 없는 너와 나 그리고 모두~ 우린 하나이니까 우린 하나이니까 우린 하나이니까 늘 미안해 진짜로 하나이니까

You’re Lyrics in English (Translation)
I locked myself deep in sad memories,
And only chased shadows.
Now, I'll love everything~
And I am going the right way for you.
I'll run all the way to the end of that sky.
Even if I lose precious memories,
I've gained a new future.
So that I can repay the love
That fills the edge of the horizon, from all of you.
I will protect you. Yes...
Nothing can replace
You and I, and everyone... Because we are one.
Even the coffee scent tickling my nose,
And the flower scent of the gentle spring breeze,
They welcome me (they welcome me).
They smile at us... Yes.
Even with just the freshness of dewy grass
That fell during the long night, we are happy.
And I am going the right way for you.
I'll run all the way to the end of that sky.
Even if I lose precious memories,
I've gained a new future.
So that I can repay the love
That fills the edge of the horizon, from all of you.
I will protect you. Yes...
Nothing can replace
You and I, and everyone, because we are one.
I was hiding behind the clouds, crying.
Now, confidently spread your wings and look at the world.
Don't you hear the cheers?
When our once warm dreams
Slowly drifted away, it was a dark blackout.
At that time, you all were already at the peak.
With only a path to go down,
Flesh already fallen, out of focus.
Yes, that was exactly when you all
Tightly held our hands.
You helped us find our awkward smiles again.
And you gave us back the strength to leap to the sky,
As if to show off, higher than anyone.
So that I can repay the love
That fills the edge of the horizon, from all of you.
I will protect you. Yes~
Nothing can replace
You and I, and everyone~ Because we are one.
Because we are one, because we are one.
Always sorry, truly.
Because we are one.
About You’re
On a quiet morning, as the first light touches the horizon, this song feels like a deep breath after a long period of holding it in. It begins with a reflective mood, acknowledging a past where the narrator felt confined by "서글픈 기억" (sad memories) and was "그림자만 쫓아 다녔어" (only chasing shadows). Yet, it quickly turns to an unwavering declaration: "이젠 다 사랑할래" (Now, I'll love everything) and a commitment to a "새로운 미래" (new future).
This is a song for anyone who has navigated through personal hardship, finding solace and strength in the unwavering support of others. It’s for the moments when simple joys, like the "coffee 향도" (coffee scent) or the "이슬을 머금은 풀잎" (dewy grass), feel like profound blessings because they are shared. Listeners return to it when they need a reminder that even after a "dark blackout"—a period of intense struggle—collective love can rebuild and empower, affirming that "우린 하나이니까" (because we are one) is an unbreakable truth.
Song Background & Story
The story opens with the narrator in a confined internal space, deeply trapped by "서글픈 기억" (sad memories) and aimlessly "그림자만 쫓아 다녔어" (chasing only shadows). It paints a picture of isolation and past sorrow, a place where happiness felt out of reach. Yet, a powerful shift occurs, as the narrator declares a new path, stating, "이젠 다 사랑할래" (Now, I'll love everything) and committing to run toward a "새로운 미래" (new future), leaving the past behind.
As the song progresses, the scene brightens, filled with gratitude for the collective 'you' whose "사랑" (love) fills "수평선 끝자락에" (the edge of the horizon). The narrator finds joy in simple, natural beauty—the "coffee 향도" (coffee scent) and "살랑거리는 봄바람 꽃 향기도" (flower scent of the gentle spring breeze)—all made more vibrant by the shared happiness. This deep appreciation culminates in a firm promise: "내가 널 지켜낼 꺼야" (I will protect you) because "무엇과도 바꿀 수 없는 너와 나 그리고 모두….우린 하나이니까" (Nothing can replace you and I, and everyone... Because we are one).
However, the narrative takes a poignant turn, recalling a past "암흑 정전" (dark blackout) and a visceral image of "이미 다 떨어져버린 살점" (already fallen flesh), depicting a time of immense struggle and vulnerability. It was precisely then, the narrator recounts, that "너희들이 우리 손을 꽉 잡아 준건" (you all tightly held our hands), offering strength and helping them regain their "멋 적은 우리 미소를" (awkward smiles). The song ends with a tender "늘 미안해" (always sorry), acknowledging the profound debt of gratitude within this unbreakable unity.
Poetic Meaning & Analysis
JYJ's "You're" uses striking contrasts to convey its profound message of gratitude and unity. The delicate imagery of "코 끝을 간지럽히는 coffee 향도" (the coffee scent tickling my nose) and "이슬을 머금은 풀잎 싱그럼만으로도" (the freshness of dewy grass) represents the simple, renewed joys found after hardship. These natural details are set against the stark, almost brutal descriptions of past struggle, such as an "암흑 정전" (dark blackout) and "이미 다 떨어져버린 살점" (already fallen flesh). This juxtaposition highlights the depth of the pain overcome, making the current happiness and gratitude feel truly earned and deeply powerful.
The song’s opening lines, "서글픈 기억에 날 깊이 가둬두고 그림자만 쫓아 다녔어" (I locked myself deep in sad memories, and only chased shadows), paint a vivid picture of emotional confinement. This imagery gives way to the narrator being able to "당당히 펴고 세상을 바라봐" (confidently spread your wings and look at the world) once the collective 'you' provides support. This transformation from hiding "구름 뒤에 숨어서 울고 있던 거야" (behind the clouds, crying) to confidently facing the world illuminates a universal human experience: the power of external support to pull one out of isolation and despair.
The standout line, "무엇과도 바꿀 수 없는 너와 나 그리고 모두….우린 하나이니까" (Nothing can replace you and I, and everyone... Because we are one), encapsulates the song's emotional core. This phrase, common in Korean pop, goes beyond simple affection, signifying an unbreakable bond and mutual dependence. It’s a declaration that the collective strength derived from this unity is the most precious thing, the very foundation upon which a new, hopeful future is built, making even the "늘 미안해" (always sorry) a tender expression of deep, enduring connection rather than regret.
