Song lyric questions
I'm trying to understand the song "오래된 우리의 얘기" by 조덕배, but there are parts I don't understand. Here's a sample of the lyrics, so you can see the context:
나 어려서 그때는 몰랐어요
그대가 영원토록 있을줄 알았어요
날이 가고 세월이 흘러가서 이제는 알았어요
그때가 즐겁던걸
떠나가면 어디로 가는걸까
편안히 쉴 수 있는 이쁜 꽃밭으로
기대서 나를 보던 그대의 슬픈 눈동자
모든걸 잊어버리네
In the line "떠나가면 어디로 가는걸까," I'm not sure what it refers to. Where does who (or what) go? Is he talking about himself?
The line "기대서 나를 보던 그대의 눈동자" also confuses me. Does "기대서 나를 보다" mean something like "lean over and see me"?
Thank you for your help!

I think 떠나가다 means "pass away" in this rylic.
떠나가면 어디로 가는걸까 means "Where are they going after passing away?"
기대서 나를 보다 means "lean on something(wall, chair etc) and see me"

Anyways, I am leaving a comment here to ask for your help.. I want to translate every word in that song but my English ability is not good enough to do it..
