[English]

Under the dim moonlight

One promise held in a wine glass

I will always be by your side and protect you

You were the one who believed in me

There's only one thing I wish for

Although I dream of eternal happiness

Even if it's not fancy, even if it's not like a dream

All I need is for you to be here

Don't worry (I believe) Always (I believe)

I won't forget this moment

Your smile (I believe) held in my arms

So its light will never fade

Cause your love is so sweet you are my everything

Immersed in the sweet dream of our first night

These aren't just words, I won't change

I will only look at you

Oh you're light of my life you are the one in my life

Even if I lose everything

I won't regret it, it's all for you

With an unchanging love

Always with a heart that sees us as one

With unwavering trust

Our sorrows together

Our joys together

I hope we can share

I promise (I believe) When it's tough (I believe)

I will be your shelter

Your smile (I believe) held in my arms

So its light will never fade

Cause your love is so sweet you are my everything

Immersed in the sweet dream of our first night

These aren't just words, I won't change

I will only look at you

Oh you're light of my life you are the one in my life

Even if I lose everything

I won't regret it, it's all for you

With an unchanging love

All I ever want is your love

[Korean]

어두운 불빛 달아래

와인잔에 담긴 약속 하나

항상 너의 곁에서 널 지켜줄 거야

날 믿어준 너였잖아

나 바라는 건 오직 하나

영원한 행복을 꿈꾸지만

화려하지 않아도 꿈같지 않아도

너만 있어주면 돼

걱정 마 (I believe) 언제나 (I believe)

이 순간을 잊지 않을게

내 품에 (I believe) 안긴 너의 미소가

영원히 빛을 잃어가지 않게

Cause your love is so sweet you are my everything

첫날밤의 단 꿈에 젖어

하는 말이 아냐 난 변하지 않아

오직 너만 바라볼 거야

Oh you're light of my life you are the one in my life

내 모든 걸 다 잃는대도

후회하지 않아 오직 너를 위한

변하지 않는 사랑으로

늘 하나라는 마음으로

흔들리지 않는 믿음으로

아픈 마음도 함께

기쁜 마음도 함께

나눠 가졌으면 해

약속해 (I believe) 힘들 땐 (I believe)

너의 그늘이 되어줄게

내 품에 (I believe) 안긴 너의 미소가

영원히 빛을 잃어가지 않게

Cause your love is so sweet you are my everything

첫날밤의 단 꿈에 젖어

하는 말이 아냐 난 변하지 않아

오직 너만 바라볼 거야

Oh you're light of my life you are the one in my life

내 모든 걸 다 잃는대도

후회하지 않아 오직 너를 위한

변하지 않는 사랑으로

All I ever want is your love
