[English]

The wind shakes the window

Above my small room, as tall as I am

Beautiful starlight

Fills the space

Countless stars

Gently touch

My weary self

And within my heart

Filled with

Tears, they wipe away

Don't hurt too much

Holding me tight

Comforting me

Telling me to sleep well

Even if it hurts so much

That I can't walk

Even if tears blur my vision

In front of my love

That I can't have

I will smile

Even for a moment by your side

I will cherish

The happy memories

Like the stars

Embroidered in my eyes

Forever

They come to me like a dream

Especially bright

One of my stars

Shining dazzlingly

Comes down upon my shoulder

Don't be sad too often

Holding my hand tight

Touching me

Warmly wrapping me up

Even if it hurts so much

That I can't walk

Even if tears blur my vision

In front of my love

That I can't have

I will smile

Even for a moment by your side

I will cherish

The happy memories

Like the stars

Oh, I won't cry today

Even if tears fill my eyes

Like those stars over there

I will smile

Ah

I will cherish all the happy memories

In my heart

Like the stars

Embroidered in my eyes

Forever

...

[Korean]

바람결이 창을 흔들고

내 키만한 작은 나의 방 위로

아름답게 별빛들이

가득 채워 주네요

셀 수 없이 많은 별들은

지쳐 있는 나를

어루만지며

내 맘속에

가득한

눈물 닦아 주네요

많이 아파 하지마

날 꼭 안은 채

다독여 주며

잘자라 위로해 주네요

걷지 못할 만큼

힘에 겨워 아파 와도

눈물이 앞을 가려 와도

갖지 못할

내 사랑 앞에도

나 웃을래요

잠시라도 곁에

행복했던 기억들을

가슴에 간직할게요

두 눈에 수 놓아진

저 별들처럼

영원히

꿈을 꾸듯 다가오네요

유난히도 밝은

나의 별 하나

눈부심이 반짝이며

어깨 위로 내려와

자꾸 슬퍼하지마

손 꼭 잡은 채

날 만져주며

따스히 날 감싸 주네요

걷지 못할 만큼

힘에 겨워 아파 와도

눈물이 앞을 가려 와도

갖지 못할

내 사랑 앞에도

나 웃을래요

잠시라도 곁에

행복했던 기억들을

가슴 속에 간직할게요

두 눈에 수 놓아진

저 별들처럼

아 나 오늘만은 안 울어요

눈물이 가득 차 와도

저기 저 별들처럼

나 웃을래요

아

행복했던 기억 모두

가슴에 간직할게요

두 눈에 수 놓아진

저 별들처럼

영원히
