Lyrics & Translation

[English]

That sound of "no"

Carried away by the wind and erased

Still being half-hearted

Just worries keep piling up

You're just thinking it's all a dream, aren't you?

Even so, everyone in the world is the same

They keep nagging about one thing or another

Even when they say it can't be done

It's okay

Hot

In the heat

Make me

A little more

Brightly

Color me

My anxious heart

You know, so I can't have those sudden, random thoughts

You know, so I can't have those sudden, random thoughts

You know, so I can't have those sudden, random thoughts

You know, so I can't have those sudden, random thoughts

You know, so I can't have those sudden, random thoughts

The sound of the starting flame

Resonates in our hearts

So we can overcome this moment, one by one

Resonates in our hearts

So we can overcome this moment, one by one

Even my trembling voice

If I let it ring out until it reaches you

Then, when that time comes

It will be your turn

Believe!

Breathe in a little deeper, even if you're short of breath

Even if you're drained of all energy, don't look away

No matter what, you won't let go

Because you hold that light

Cold

In this cold time, make me a little more

Color me more brightly, my anxious heart, you know

So I can't have those sudden, random thoughts

The sound of the starting flame

Resonates in our hearts

So we can overcome this moment, one by one

Even my trembling voice

If I let it ring out until it reaches you

Then, when that time comes

Your

It's your turn

It will be your turn

Believe!

Even if this heart

Doesn't reach you

Just watch a little longer

Someday, I'll show you

Through the days of past summers

Even when the winter nights arrive

I won't stop

Until the spring flowers bloom

The sound of the starting flame

Resonates in our hearts

So we can overcome this moment, one by one

Even my trembling voice

If I let it ring out until it reaches you

Then, when that time comes

It will be your turn

Believe!

[Korean]

​​아니라는 그 소리가​

​​바람에 실려 지워​

​​아직도 하나 마나 하고​

​​뭔가 걱정들만 쌓이는​

​​꿈이라고만 생각하는 거네?​

​​안 그래도 세상 사람들은 하나같이​

​​이것저것 물고 늘어지는걸​

​​안 될 거라 말해도 말이야​

​​괜찮아​

​​뜨거운​

​​열기 속에서​

​​나를 좀 더​

​​밝게​

​​물들여줘​

​​불안한 맘​

​​있잖아 뜬금없는​

​​생각도 못 하게​

​​있잖아 뜬금없는​

​​생각도 못 하게​

​​있잖아 뜬금없는​

​​생각도 못 하게​

​​시작의 불꽃 소리가​

​​우리의 맘을 울려​

​​하나씩 이 순간을 이겨낼 수 있게​

​​우리의 맘을 울려​

​​하나씩 이 순간을 이겨낼 수 있게​

​​떨리는 목소리도​

​​닿을 때까지 울리면​

​​자 그땐​

​​그땐 너의 차례일 거야​

​​믿어!​

​​​ ​부족한 숨을 좀 더 들이마셔​ ​​

​​​ ​진이 다 빠져도 눈을 떼지 마​ ​​

​​​ ​무슨 일이 있어도 놓치지 않을​ ​​

​​​ ​그 빛을 갖고 있으니까​ ​​

​​차가운​

​​차가운 시간 속에서 나를 좀 더​

​​밝게 물들여줘 불안한 맘 있잖아​

​​뜬금없는 생각도 못 하게​

​​시작의 불꽃 소리가​

​​우리의 맘을 울려​

​​하나씩 이 순간을 이겨낼 수 있게​

​​떨리는 목소리도​

​​닿을 때까지 울리면​

​​자 그땐​

​​너의​

​​너의 차례일​

​​너의 차례일 거야​

​​믿어!​

​​이 맘이 그렇게도​

​​와 닿지 않는다 해도​

​​좀 더 지켜봐​

​​언젠가 보여줄게​

​​지나간 여름의 낮​

​​겨울의 밤이 와도​

​​멈추지 않아​

​​봄의 꽃 피울 때까지​

​​시작의 불꽃 소리가​

​​우리의 맘을 울려​

​​하나씩 이 순간을 이겨낼 수 있게​

​​떨리는 목소리도​

​​닿을 때까지 울리면​

​​자 그땐​

​​그땐 너의 차례일 거야​

​​믿어!​

Key Grammar Structures

• 아니라는 그 소리가 바람에 실려 지워

  ➔ Use of '-는' as a descriptive modifier and passive voice.

  ➔ The sentence describes the sound of 'no' being erased by the wind. “아니라는” (aninaneun) modifies “소리” (sori - sound). “지워” (jiwo) is the verb 'to erase' in a descriptive form, indicating a state of being erased. The entire phrase functions as a passive construction.

• 안 될 거라 말해도 말이야

  ➔ Use of '-(으)ㄹ 거다' for future intention/prediction and the particle '-(이)야'.

  ➔ This sentence means 'Even if they say it won't work...'. “안 될 거다” (an doel geoda) expresses a prediction that something will not succeed. “말해도 말이야” (malhaedo maliya) adds emphasis and a conversational tone, meaning 'even if they say so'.

• 뜨거운 열기 속에서 나를 좀 더 밝게 물들여줘

  ➔ Use of '-에서' (location particle) and the imperative mood with '-줘'.

  ➔ This is a request: 'Dye me brighter within the heat'. “뜨거운 열기 속에서” (tteugeoun yeolgi sogeseo) means 'within the hot heat'. “물들여줘” (muldeuryeojwo) is the imperative form of 'to dye', requesting someone to dye the speaker brighter.

• 부족한 숨을 좀 더 들이마셔

  ➔ Use of '-아/어/여 봐' for encouragement/suggestion and adverb '좀 더'.

  ➔ This is encouragement: 'Take a bit more breath'. “부족한 숨을” (bujokhan sumeul) means 'the insufficient breath'. “좀 더 들이마셔” (jom deo deurimaseo) means 'take a bit more in', with “좀 더” (jom deo) meaning 'a bit more'.
