🌅 Autumn Without You - English Lyrics for "허무한 마음"

📝 Intro

This song is a quiet reflection on longing and broken promises.
Someone left with the words “I’ll be back,” but never returned —
and all that remains is an empty heart and the sound of autumn falling.
The English version was written not as a translation but as a lyrical echo,
capturing the solitude, the falling leaves, and the geese crying in the cold.

A soft-focus photograph of autumn maple leaves in warm tones of red, orange, and yellow, capturing the quiet and nostalgic feeling of fall.

🌄 How to Enjoy This Song

Read these lines slowly, letting the autumn mood settle in.
Even without music, you can feel the loneliness carried on the wind.
If you sing them aloud, the repeating sections feel like a haunting refrain.

🍂 Autumn Without You

(English Lyrics written for “허무한 마음 (Heomuhan Maeum)”)

Fallen leaves
Drift away
Lonely echoes
Fill the autumn air

Fading light
Empty vows
You were gone
With the dying day

Once again the night
Feels so hollow
Geese are sadly crying
Through the bitter frost

You had sworn
You would return
But the silence
Is all I hold

Once again the night
Feels so hollow
Geese are sadly crying
Through the bitter frost

You had sworn
You would return
But the silence
Is all I hold

🎶 About the Original Song

The original 허무한 마음 (Heomuhan Maeum) is a Korean ballad that captures the sadness of autumn, the falling leaves, and the lonely cry of geese overhead.
This English version does not translate word for word —
instead, it recreates the quiet emptiness of waiting for someone who never came back.
