[English]

After I met you, everything

Feels like it's becoming new

Could it be that you feel the same way too?

Maybe not

From the moment you reached out your hand

I guess I had already started to change

Even when clouds bloom in the sky

It didn't affect me at all

Could it be something like a cold?

Then you came and stood by me, baby

The world naturally grew warmer

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

I feel like I understand now

Since the moment you arrived, yeah

Clearer than yesterday

Warmer than yesterday

To me, you’re the only fortunate change

Even if we walk the same path

Even if we see the same things

Everything feels new, fortunate change

Then you came and stood by me, baby

My heart naturally feels cozy

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

I feel like I understand now

Since the moment you arrived, yeah

Clearer than yesterday

Warmer than yesterday

To me, you’re the only fortunate change

Even if we walk the same path

Even if we see the same things

Everything feels new, fortunate change

Clearer than yesterday

Warmer than yesterday

To me, you’re the only fortunate change

Even if we walk the same path

Even if we see the same things

Everything looks new, you're my fortunate change

After I met you, everything

Feels like it's becoming new

Could it be that you feel the same way too?

Thank you

Clearer than yesterday

Warmer than yesterday

To me, you’re the only fortunate change

Even if we walk the same path

Even if we see the same things

Everything looks new, you're my fortunate change

[Korean]

너를 만난 후 모든 게

새로워지는 기분이야

혹시 너도 같은 맘일까

아니려나

From the moment you reached out your hand

난 이미 달라지고 있었나 봐

하늘의 구름이 꽃 펴도

아무렇지 않았었는데

혹시 감기 같은 건 아닐런지

Then you came and stood by me, baby

자연스레 세상이 따뜻해져

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

이제 알 것만 같아

Since the moment you arrived, yeah

어제보다 더 선명한

어제보다 더 따스한

나에게 넌 유일한 fortunate change

같은 길을 걸어가도

같은 것을 봐도

새로워 fortunate change

Then you came and stood by me, baby

자연스레 마음이 포근해져

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

이제 알 것만 같아

Since the moment you arrived, yeah

어제보다 더 선명한

어제보다 더 따스한

나에게 넌 유일한 fortunate change
