Lyrics & Translation

[Korean]

[English]

Listen, 느낄 수 있니

Listen, can you feel it?

내 심장이 뛰지를 않아 (my heart be breakin')

My heart isn’t beating anymore (my heart be breakin’)

분한 맘에 울어도 보고

I cried out of anger

소리 질러 (하) 외쳐도 봤어 (my pain be creepin')

I shouted (ha) and tried to scream (my pain be creepin’)

흑과 백 아직 남과 북

Black and white, still North and South

끝이 나지 않는 전쟁 scene

Endless war scene

둘로 나뉜 태양의 절망

The despair of the two divided suns

멀리 돌고 돌아서

Going around far and wide

다시 시작하는 곳에 다 왔어

I’ve finally come back to where I start again

오류투성이지만

Though full of mistakes

배워 가며 강해질 수 있는 나

I can learn and grow stronger

저 태양처럼 거대한

As enormous as that sun

하나란 걸 아는 날 (oh, oh)

The day I realize we are one (oh, oh)

모두 함께 가는 우리 미래로

Together, we move towards our future

I need you and you want me 지구란 이 별에서

I need you and you want me, on this planet Earth

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Every, every, everyday, 내가 만든 history

Every, every, every day, I make history

Break it, 욕망의 반칙

Break it, against the rules of desire

Move it, 파괴란 미덕 (no more shakin' like that)

Move it, destruction as virtue (no more shakin’ like that)

Magic 시간이 가면

When magic time passes

또 씻은 듯이 다시 재생돼

We regenerate as if washed anew

시공간을 뛰어넘어서

Beyond space and time

에덴의 아침을 꿈꾸고 있어

Dreaming of Eden’s dawn

가자, 우린 그런 존재

Let’s go, we are such beings

멀리 돌고 돌아서

Going around far and wide

다시 시작하는 곳에 다 왔어

I’ve finally come back to where I start again

오류투성이지만

Though full of mistakes

배워 가며 강해질 수 있는 나

I can learn and grow stronger

저 태양처럼 거대한

As enormous as that sun

하나란 걸 아는 날 (oh, oh)

The day I realize we are one (oh, oh)

모두 함께 가는 우리 미래로

Together, we move towards our future

I need you and you want me 지구란 이 별에서

I need you and you want me, on this planet Earth

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

꿈을 잉태하는 날 우린 다시 일어나

The day we conceive our dreams, we rise again

일어나, 일어나, 일어나 (turn it on)

Rise, rise, rise (turn it on)

일어나, 일어나, 일어나

Rise, rise, rise

영원할 거라 믿고 싶을 때

When you want to believe it will last forever

언젠가 할 거라고 망설일 때

When you hesitate, thinking it might end someday

내일이 바로 끝인지도 몰라

Tomorrow might be the very end

후회 같은 건 잊어버려, 두려워 마

Forget regrets, don’t be afraid

제발, 사랑해, 사랑해, 사랑해

Please, love, love, love

조화로울수록 완벽하잖아

The more harmonious, the more perfect

모든 슬픔이, 기쁨이, 여기에

All sadness, joy, right here

나와 너는 한 생명인걸

You and I are one life

야, 우리가 원래 하나로 태어났던 순간

Hey, the moment we were born as one

갈수록 소모적인 이 세계를 만난 순간

The moment we meet this increasingly consuming world

우린 점점점 멀어져 가 점점

We’re drifting apart, gradually

둘로 깨져 버린 채 힘을 잃어버린 태양

The sun broken in two, losing its power

갈수록, 갈수록, 갈수록, 갈수록, 더 (더)

More and more, more and more, more and more, more and more (more)

간절했던 꿈의 세계를 다시 마주하는 순간

The moment we face the dream world we longed for

내 가슴이 뛴다 마구 뛴다, 둥둥둥둥둥둥

My heart pounds wildly, bouncing all around, dong dong dong dong dong

돌고 돌아서

Going around far and wide

다시 시작하는 곳에 다 왔어

I’ve finally come back to where I start again

Yeah, EXO-M, EXO-K

Yeah, EXO-M, EXO-K

우리가 시작하는 미래 history

Our future begins now, history

저 태양처럼 거대한

As huge as that sun

하나란 걸 아는 날

The day I realize we are one

Oh, 하나의 심장에 태양에

Oh, in one heart, under the sun

끝없이 우린 하나로 강해지고 있어

Endlessly, we’re becoming one and growing stronger

I need you and you want me 지구란 이 별에서

I need you and you want me, on this planet Earth

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Every, every, everyday, 내가 만든 history

Every, every, every day, I make history
