Fire

• By: SHINee

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

初めて君に出会った日が

The day I first met you

新しいBirthday

A new birthday

生まれ変わる 君のために

To be reborn for you

似合うようにLady

To suit you, lady

誰もが 生まれた ときには不完全

Everyone is born incomplete

欠けた 心のカドを 隠せなくて

I can't hide the corners of my broken heart

抱きしめたいのに 傷つけ合ったり

I want to hold you, but we hurt each other

寄り添いながら 寄り掛かってばかり

While being close, we keep leaning on each other

その愛で 完全になるために

I was born to become complete with that love

生まれて来たんだ 未来を照らし出して

To illuminate the future

今までの愚かな僕を焼き尽くしてよ 愛のFire, Fire

Burn away the foolish me until now, love's fire, fire

融かして この心を もうDon't Look Back

Melt this heart, don't look back anymore

十人十色の個性の海

A sea of diverse personalities

自分が沈んで

I sink into myself

ここにいてもいないみたい

Even when I'm here, it feels like I'm not

もがいたEveryday

Struggling every day

誰もが 生まれる 前に待ち合わせ

Before everyone is born, we had a meeting

して生まれて来たのに 気付けなくて

Though we were born, I couldn't realize it

いつか運命の人に... 孤独に過ぎるStory

Someday to the person of destiny... a story too lonely

そばにいたのにすれ違ってばかり

Even though you were by my side, we kept passing each other

その愛で 完全になるために

I was born to become complete with that love

生まれて来たんだ Fire 照らしていて

I was born, fire, keep shining

もう何も迷わぬように導いてずっと 愛のFire, Fire

Guide me so I won't hesitate anymore, love's fire, fire

満たして この心を もうDon't Look Back

Fill this heart, don't look back anymore

鏡の中に映る男はDifferent Man ずっと待った

The man reflected in the mirror is a different man, I've waited long

見つめ合うだけですべてが分かるTake My Hand そばにいさせて

Just by looking into each other's eyes, I understand everything, take my hand, let me be by your side

翼をくれる 君の言葉 その笑顔が

Your words give me wings, that smile

空に羽ばたいて We Make It, Make It... 光の中へ

Soars into the sky, we make it, make it... into the light

その愛で 完全になるために

I was born to become complete with that love

生まれて来たんだ 未来を照らし出して

To illuminate the future

今までの愚かな僕を焼き尽くしてよ 愛のFire, Fire

Burn away the foolish me until now, love's fire, fire

その愛で 完全になるために

I was born to become complete with that love

生まれて来たんだ Fire 照らしていて

I was born, fire, keep shining

もう何も迷わぬように導いてずっと 愛のFire, Fire

Guide me so I won't hesitate anymore, love's fire, fire

満たして この心を もうDon't Look Back

Fill this heart, don't look back anymore
