[English]

It's disappearing, fading away

Like it's dispersing

It's being forgotten, growing darker

Like I can't see it anymore

It's disappearing, fading away

Even if I try to follow you

The sound still lingers there

Even after everything's gone

Even if I wish for more

You're shining like the moonlight

Make me feel beautiful

Shine brightly again

Because you're here, everything remains the same

Alive

Stay just as you are

Keep calling out to me just as you do

It's still a memory I can't forget

Even if I wipe it away, it fades

Even if it's faint

Getting smaller, flowing away

That voice from back then

The distance I can't even remember

Even your face appears in my mind

Let it disappear

Let it fade away

Just as words go

I must

Feel beautiful

Shine brightly again

Because you're here, everything remains unchanging

Alive

Stay just as you are

Keep calling out to me just as you do

It's still a memory I can't forget

The time you've desperately drawn

Envelops the world

The beautiful, longing times

In that time, we are eternal

Frozen in place

Keep smiling just as you are

Keep trusting just as you do

It's still a memory I can't forget

A memory

A memory

A memory

You're a miracle in this moment

[Korean]

사라져가네 멀어져가네

흩어지듯이

잊혀져가네 어두워지네

더 못 볼 것처럼

사라져가네 멀어져가네

널 따라가봐도

여전히 그 소린 멈춰있어

다 지나도

더 바래도

달빛처럼 비추는 넌

아름다워줘

다시 밝게 빛나줘

네가 있어 여긴 여전하게

살아있어

그대로 있어줘

그대로 불러줘

아직도 내겐 잊지 못할 기억이라

지워내봐도 희미해져도

가릴 수 없이

작아져버린 흘러가버린

그때 목소리가

기억조차 못했을 거리

마저 내 눈 앞에 그려서

사라져가게

사라져가게

말 이대로

꼭 나는

아름다워줘

다시 밝게 빛나줘

네가 있어 여긴 여전하게

살아있어

그대로 있어줘

그대로 불러줘

아직도 내겐 잊지 못할 기억이라

넌 간절히 그려낸

시간이 세상을 덮어있어

아름다웠던 그리워했던

시간 속에 우린 영원하게

멈춰있어

그대로 웃어줘

그대로 믿어줘

아직도 내겐 잊지 못할 기억이라

기억이라

기억이라

기억이라

넌 이 순간의 기적이라
