[English]

You're the most important person in your life.

So be yourself.

Be beautiful.

Wanting to resemble someone's life.

You who had a tough day.

If you're not happy when you fall asleep.

Even if you chase after everyone’s dreams.

They keep shrinking like ill-fitting clothes.

It’s all my fault, that’s all there is.

Don’t give up.

Stars that shine when the night comes.

And the setting sun leaving only a glow.

Each has its own unique color.

Beautiful, yeah.

When everything in the world finds its place.

Why does everything shine more brightly?

That look alone is enough.

Beautiful, beautiful, you are.

Feeling that emptiness of not having it.

I used to envy someone else.

What you have.

They will never have it.

Lift your head and look around.

There are people who only look at you.

The one and only loved person—that’s you.

Stars that shine when the night comes.

And the setting sun leaving only a glow.

Each has its own unique color.

Beautiful, yeah.

When everything in the world finds its place.

Why does everything shine more brightly?

That look alone is enough.

Beautiful, beautiful, you are.

Listen to the roar of your heart.

There must have been a moment when your heart raced.

Are you wandering in search of happiness?

Listen more to your heart.

Start your own journey.

Your story of seeking happiness.

Even the smallest thing.

Don’t forget the love in your heart.

Beautiful life.

Beautiful heart.

From the bright side of life.

Look at yourself with pride.

Each of our lights is getting dimmer.

Goals are getting higher.

Keep your true colors shining in.

So you can shine even brighter.

This time.

You can face the rain.

Next time.

You can overcome the pain.

No more tears will come.

Smile and laugh till the end, yeah.

Put your bags down.

Let me take all your heavy feelings.

Stop and look at time in a bottle.

You need to see yourself to understand.

Stars that shine when the night comes.

And the setting sun leaving only a glow.

Each has its own unique color.

Beautiful, beautiful.

When everything in the world finds its place.

Why does everything shine more brightly?

That look alone is enough.

Beautiful, beautiful, you are.

Let's start anew, without fear.

Don’t worry, everything will be fine.

Just believe in yourself at that moment.

Beautiful, beautiful.

You are the one and only on this planet.

Waiting for the moment to light up the world.

That look alone is perfect just as it is.

Beautiful, beautiful, you are.

그 누군가의 삶을 닮기 위해

고단한 하룰 보냈던 그대

잠이 들 때 행복하지 않다면

모두가 바란 꿈을 쫓아봐도

안 맞는 옷처럼 자꾸 더 작아져

내 탓인 거야 이거뿐이라고

포기하지 말아요

밤이 오면 빛을 내는 별들도

노을만 남긴 채 지는 저 태양도

다 저마다 독특한 색을 가져

Beautiful yeah

더 아름답게 빛나는 건 왜일까

그 모습 그대로 충분해요

Beautiful beautiful you are

작은 것 하나까지

사랑하는 마음 잊지 말아요
