[English]

Wanna be your star

ASTRO

Oh

yeah

umm

Quietly closing my eyes, recalling the night I thought of you

I wonder how far you've walked, making me feel chills

I still miss, miss you so much

Looking for you, the one I saw in a distant dream

A star as bright as you, more radiant than moonlight

The starry night that calls to me

Starry night, Starry night

Every dazzling sparkle feels like you

This heartbeat-pumping moment

I think I know where you are

I can feel that signal from you

Shine brightest among all the embroidered stars

Follow the light, and I’ll fly to you

Shine even brighter

Wake me up, wake me up

From the darkness

I'll find you, Knock Knock Knock

Open the door you always dreamed of

Take you away, Up Up Up

To the vividly shining world

Trust me, let me take you

Take you back through time

I'm coming for you, Knock Knock Knock

To a new world where every day shines

With you, everything's easy

I want to live each exciting day

Just like you’re always in my wishes, on my dream island

Like that bright night light we wished for, even more

I want to shine, even right now

I still miss, miss you so much

Searching for you, in the vivid dream I saw

A star as radiant as you, brighter than moonlight

The starry night that calls to me

Starry night, Starry night

Every mesmerizing shimmer feels like you

This heartbeat moment

I feel I know where you are

That signal from you is coming through

Whenever I want to turn back, you appear

My cloudy heart clears, and the world brightens too

Shine even brighter for me

Wake me up, wake me up

From the darkness

I'm coming for you, Knock Knock Knock

Open that door you always dreamed of

Take you away, Up Up Up

To that brilliantly shining world

Trust me, let me take you

Travel back through time to bring you here

I'm coming for you, Knock Knock Knock

To a new world where every day shines

The dark night will end

It will pass by us

Everything will become new, no oh oh

The world we wished for, holding hands together

That warmth we longed for, just within reach

Lift away my darkness

As if you understand my heart

All of this feels like

Waiting for you, yeah

Coming for you, Knock Knock Knock

Open the door you've always dreamed of

Take you away, Up Up Up (Take you)

To that brightly shining world

Trust me, let me take you

Travel back through time and bring you here (once more)

I'm coming for you, Knock Knock Knock

To a new world where every day shines

The world is beautiful because you shine on me. The dark night will end.

In this new world, I will make you shine. We’ll pass by each other.

Trust, watch, feel—everything will be new

No worries now, no oh oh

Oh night

The dark night will come to an end

It will pass us by

Everything will become new, no oh oh

Knock, I’ll find you

가만히 두 눈 감아 널 떠올린 밤

어디쯤을 시리도록 걷고 있을까

난 아직 그리 그리워 그리워 네가

아득한 꿈속에서 봤던 널 찾아 난

달빛보다 찬란한 너와 같은 Star

날 부른 Starry night

Starry night Starry night

눈부신 반짝임마다 넌 것 같아

가슴이 뛰는 이 순간

어디 있는지 알 것 같아

너란 신호가 느껴져 와

수놓은 별들 사이 가장 빛나줘

빛을 따라가다 보면 너에게로 Fly up

더 환하게 빛나줘

Wake me up Wake me up

어둠 속에서

널 찾아가 Knock Knock Knock

늘 꿈꾸던 문을 열어

널 데려가 Up Up Up

선명히 빛난 세상 그곳으로

맡겨봐 맡겨봐 널

시간을 거슬러 데려가 널

난 찾아가 Knock Knock Knock

매일이 빛날 새로운 세계로

너만 있으면 모든 게 수월해

설레는 하루에 살래

소원에 항상 니가 있듯 꿈의 섬에

우리가 바랬던 밝은 저 밤의 빛처럼 더

빛나고 싶어 지금마저도

난 아직 그리 그리워 그리워 네가

선명한 꿈속에서 봤던 널 찾아 난

달빛보다 찬란한 너와 같은 Star

날 부른 Starry night

Starry night Starry night

황홀한 일렁임마다 넌 것 같아

가슴이 뛰는 이 순간

어디 있는지 알 것 같아

너란 신호가 느껴져 와

뒤돌고 싶을 때 마다 니가 나타나

흐렸던 내 맘과 동시에 세상도 밝아

더 환하게 빛나 줘

Wake me up Wake me up

어둠 속에서

널 찾아가 Knock Knock Knock

늘 꿈꾸던 문을 열어

널 데려가 Up Up Up

선명히 빛난 세상 그곳으로

맡겨봐 맡겨봐 널

시간을 거슬러 데려가 널

난 찾아가 Knock Knock Knock

매일이 빛날 새로운 세계로

어둔 밤은 끝이 날 거야

우릴 스쳐 지나갈 거야

모두 새로워질 거야 No oh oh

우리가 두 손 모아 원하고 원했던 그 세상이

닿을 듯 말 듯 간절히 바랬던 따스함이

내 어둠을 걷혀줘

내 맘을 안 것처럼

이 모든 것은 마치

널 기다린 듯 Yeah

널 찾아가 Knock Knock Knock

늘 꿈꾸던 문을 열어

널 데려가 Up Up Up (데려가)

선명히 빛난 세상 그곳으로

맡겨봐 맡겨봐 널

시간을 거슬러 데려가 널 (한 번 더)

난 찾아가 Knock Knock Knock

매일이 빛날 새로운 세계로

세상이 아름다워 네가 비춰주니까 (어둔 밤은 끝이 날 거야)

새로운 세계에서 너를 빛낼 테니까 (우릴 스쳐 지나갈 거야)

맡겨봐 지켜봐 느껴봐 (모두 새로워질 거야)

이제 걱정 No oh oh (No oh oh)

(Oh Night)

우릴 스쳐 지나갈 거야

모두 새로워질 거야 No oh oh
