When I picture memories in those days on water of the glass,
they will be blurred to be transparent.
Like sand slipping through my hands,
the time that is slipping by will never come back again.
There she had to stay where I will not stay.
Misunderstanding occurs even if we care for each other.
It ends up without any progress.
And you… slow slow gone
I just wanna stay, yes I have to stay
The seasons when you were with me
If I could have a wish come true, I would be back to those days even now.
Here here here I have to stay
When I look up at the night sky with moist eyes,
all my memories come back to me clearly.
Like snow effacing our footprints,
Time has flown by and effaces all memories.
There she had to stay where I will not stay
Misunderstanding occurs even if we care for each other.
It ends up without any progress.
And you… slow slow gone
I just wanna stay, yes I have to stay
I still remains in the seasons when you were with me even now.
Here here here
Since some time or other (separated hands)
Since some time or other (I feel the distance between us)
I haven’t been able to touch you.
It ends up without any progress.
And you… slow slow gone
I just wanna stay, yes I have to stay
The seasons when you were with me
If I could have a wish come true, I would be back to those days even now.
Here here here I have to stay

Original Japanese Lyrics
グラスの水面に あの頃を浮かべれば
透明に滲んでく 記憶
この手をすり抜け 落ちてく砂のように
もう二度と 時間は戻らない
There she had to stay where I will not stay
すれ違う想いが 届かない
平行線の上で そう君は slow slow gone
I just wanna stay, yes I have to stay
君がいた季節よ 叶うなら
まだ覚めないで いまでも
Here here here I have to stay
潤んだ瞳で 霞んでく夜空から
煌めき降り注ぐ 記憶
君との足跡 消してく雪のように
とめどなく 時間は流れる
There she had to stay where I will not stay
すれ違う想いが 届かない
平行線の上で そう君は slow slow gone
I just wanna stay, yes I have to stay
君がいた季節に 僕はまだ
立ち止まったまま いまでも
Here here here
いつからか(はぐれた手)
いつからか(遠くなる)
触れられない
平行線の上で そう君は slow slow gone
I just wanna stay, yes I have to stay
君がいた季節よ 叶うなら
まだ覚めないで いまでも
Here here here I have to stay

Prince so lonely! He needs to be in love! Hope he find happiness soon!
Stay is one of my favourite song. So happy that there is an MV. Again, great acting & sooooo charming!
oh my heart goes all out to you my prince…im so deeply moved by this video…i really feel you sukkie…that expression on your face really makes me want to cry oh sukkie
A very touching but also kind of sad MV. Love it. My understanding they actually has already broke up (I mean he and the girl in the MV, I know this is fiction, but could be his own experience) but one day, after a long night, he just suddenly remember it is the date that they should celebrate together (birthday, anniversary etc..) so he run to the old place (which actually she is not there anymore). But he runs runs try to find her back. Then he realize that she is not there anymore. The only thing right now he can do is look at the old pictures and reminisce their good old times. T_T
Wow… I read that they were making a music video out of this song. This happens to be my favorite song from the Just Crazy album. I know a lot of people have said they like some of the other songs but this has been one of my favorites since I got the album. Thanks for sharing and giving a background of the story of the video. I’m downloading to keep for later but since its official I’m sure I will be able to go back to it again and again. Now I just need a translation of the song. 🙂
And Rain is my favorite I hope they made a MV for that too. 🙂
Rain is my fav too.
ahhh.. so sad ending. it seems that such story really happened to the prince life. did he really write this song ‘stay’.? in one of his interviews he mentioned about a girlfriend for years that they have to separate because it was a long distance relationship and i bet because of his fame now or something. i think its quite related with this song… in the end it became a memory….ah life must go on Prince…..
Yes, he wrote the lyrics… It might be based on his real experience…
Yeahhhh nice MV,but really heartbreaking to see him crying,,,,what happens actually Brother???it is your story???
love love love……..really nice song
It’s a very nice MV..one of my favorite song and good acting for JKS…he really knows how to express what he wanted us to feel about his songs… Other people say that if you have the fame and wealth your love life suffers…hope JKS will find the girl that understand his lifestyle:). Gudluck to you our prince!!!! We love you!!!!
i like crazy3 mv more..kkk..dont know why.mayb coz the vampire image is more sexy n fresh, juz like suk.ah…cant wait for abracadabra mv.must b something cool!!!
This is my second favorite song of the album,the first is Rain,the video made me cry because I think is or was personal expierence of him and think of him suffering and crying broke my heart,so sad and touching.
Oh my! This video expressed real emotions? I surmised this is his real experience. So touching. Hopefully she can find the girlfriend he is longing to have.
can’t get over this video..my heart aches in the emotions that he portrayed here. was very excited to see this mv as listening to the song is already heartbreaking, and knowing that he also wrote this..was wondering after watching the video, is this what he felt way back? ..so sad and painful..and did he revived that feeling to act this MV?..gonna go to bed with tears tonight. T.T
😀
Love it sooo much!!!!I can see the real Suk, not HTK, KMG, OR Joona 😉 …I watch again & again and what I can’t understand is – why the girl had to leave Sukkie broken hearted, why can’t she stay, why why ??? hmmmm… If this is base on his real life story, did she finds a better guy to replace Suk?? I dn’t think so !!!!
Ziz, I think is hard to keep a relationship if you’re always so busy and in front of camera on the news all the time. That’s very hard. I think he had experience. He and girl just drift apart when they grow. She has her way to go and he has his but the two of them can’t find the time together, less and less. Is hard, I totally feel for it. I don’t have exactly experience like him but I had someone also our path just become like we cross line, we have been together but one day we realize, we are further and further to each other and is hard to turn back to restart everything. Sometimes, is easy just say love means everything, then the truth is, you live for the real life. I bet he will find someone one day that can really have heart to <3 each other deeply and want to go on the same life path together for their future. As you get more mature, you will know how to give up and make sacrifice if you want to keep relation going on forever.
I most sincerely hope that this is not the true story of our Prince. I d’not believe that if someone has touched Prince,will not wait for him forever!
Welcome Mina ^_^ I’m glad you finally have your blog ID now. I’m Runa Nona in FB. Let’s hope our prince will find his other half soon and create a loving family of his own.
It’s very unique…I first try to look at the mv before reading the lyrics and i thought i can understand it of course, but during the whole mv I was so completely in the story that i can’t get my eyes of it O_O jks acting in the mv was so real and touching that it a person which never ever heart about him or even look at his dramas before will be touched by this wonerfull actor/singer…i just hope he will someday find someone who will understand him and support him forever and ever^^… He is definitely my role model already. He definitely are having hardtimes T_T Jks to all eels in this world you’re already wonderfull…keep fighting!!!
oops wrong sentence: it’s i can’t understand it of course
STAY is my favorite song of the entire “Just Crazy” album and re-reading the lyrics I know why. Why does love have to be so martyrized? It’s like if you’re not in agony, you’re not in love. It gets me every time. The greatest songs of all time have been born out of heartache.
Although I love this new video, I pray that it has nothing to do with how Sukkie feels about leaving his love behind. But if it is so, I must say (and I hope he reads this) that he was born for greatness. He was born with wings. He was born to soar the skies, higher and higher and above all clouds. Anyone that is not willing to accept this fact in his life, will eventually “stay” behind while he continues moving forward with his life’s purpose.
No matter how hard and how heart broken he may be about past relationships, I pray he realizes that had he chosen to “stay” behind with them, he would have been very unhappy as the need to always be on the move and experience new things, which is rooted at the very core of who he is, would have eventually overtaken him and force him to start moving again.
As he walks through life, anyone who is not willing to keep up with his pace, sadly, will eventually “stay” behind regardless of how much he would wish to carry them forward, along with him.
I can’t even imagine how amazing the woman who eventually will marry him would have to be. She must certainly have to be just as incredible as Sukkie. This way, they will both work together and walk together, and succeed. No more walking on separate “parallel lines” but on the same line, forever.
As sad as this video made me, I think it was very encouraging too. Our past experiences shape us into who we are now and influence our thinking and our decision-making.
I embrace any pain I’ve gone through in my life because thanks to it, now I’m much stronger.
Anyway, I guess, I’m just ranting here…thanks for allowing me this privilege!
I wish true love and a strong heart for all who read this post. xoxo
Kley-kley, I like your comments and thoughts on this MV 🙂
Thank you sis^^ I agree with Lulamz too.
I can sense his longing to find that someone whom he can love and love him as well and the time he can do it and that someone to come his way and into his life
i am trying to understand this song. Thank you dear Tenshi for the English translation. but what does Tachidoma tsu and Ninjn mean? Again, ‘arigato gusaymash’ that’s the only Japanese words that i know.
Susan, it’s not my translation. As you pointed out, there are some mistakes (just putting Japanese lyrics). I’ll check it later 🙂
Thank you so much again Tenshi, you work hard. I am sorry if i am becoming annoying but i appreciate so much your effort. God bless you dear.
The girl in the video resemble somebody!
PSH!!!!!!
Is he trying to tell us that he had a relationship
and later break off.
whaaaaaaaaaaa cry
touch touch i want cry i lve jks 4ever
..i wish someday he will make also an english album..”,
Woooow so touchy indeed…..Nobody on this planet should feel alone especially such a good hearted Prince who always cares for others.Even this is an mv where he shows his acting skill I am sure many of us felt kind of gloomy.I want him to find the fragile person who would complete his other half till the end of his life:))Then all eels would be smiling even when wathing such a depressing mv like STAY!!!!Go go go we are waiting for new projects to be announced……soon hopefully!
i pray for Jang Keun Suk to find his special someone. i feel lonely knowing that he does not have a gf (based on his statement..hehe). soon, may you (JKS) find that “special girl” that will be the mother of your future children. eels will support you whatever path you take (that makes you grow not just as an actor/artiste but especially as a person). ZIKZIN!!! ☺☺☺ ♥♥♥ ^_^
It’s my favourite song!!!!!!! I like it! But, I feel Jang oppa is lonely… :'(
I love this song. The lyrics are so beautiful. Jang Keun Suk’s voice is gold, so sweet and warm. The way he sings…. I like when he whispers…
