Lyrics & Translation

[Korean]

[English]

어딘지 모를 꿈결 속에서

In a dreamlike state I can't quite remember where

행복한 날 또 본 것 같았어

I felt like I've seen this happy day before

다가올 내일은

The tomorrow that's about to come

불안한 표정이지만

Though my expression shows some anxiety

쉽게 나를 놓을 순 없네

I can't easily let go of myself

찬란한 빛을 향해 걸어

Walk towards that shining light

나를 가둘 듯한 미로

A maze that seems to trap me

그럴 때마다 난 너를 기억해

Whenever that happens, I remember you

내 꿈을 잊지 않게 해줘

Help me to not forget my dreams

별이 쏟아지는 곳에

In a place where stars fall down

우린 결국 함께 한다고

We ultimately end up together

You are my future future All the time

You are my future, future, all the time

힘든 시간들을 건너 너의 손을 잡고 싶어

Crossing through tough times, I want to hold your hand

You are my sunshine sunshine All the day

You are my sunshine, sunshine, all day long

해가 밤을 돌아 아침을 또 만든 것처럼

Like the sun returns at night to make a new morning

날 비춰줘

Shine your light on me

너는 또 다른 나의 미래

You are another version of my future

영원히 계속될 Love way

A love way that lasts forever

너는 또 다른 나의 미래

You are another version of my future

I’ll show you my love

I'll show you my love

가끔 넘어져 상처가 나도

Even when I fall and get hurt sometimes

웃는 모습 난 그게 좋았어

Your smiling face is what I liked

굳은 다짐들

Strong promises

한 번씩 무너지지만

May sometimes fall apart

너를 보면 견딜 수 있어

But seeing you, I can endure

찬란한 빛을 향해 걸어

Walking towards that shining light

나를 가둘 듯한 미로

A maze that seems to trap me

그럴 때마다 난 너를 기억해

Whenever that happens, I remember you

내 꿈을 잊지 않게 해줘

Help me to not forget my dreams

별이 쏟아지는 곳에

In a place where stars fall down

우린 결국 함께 한다고

We ultimately end up together

You are my future future All the time

You are my future, future, all the time

힘든 시간들을 건너 너의 손을 잡고 싶어

Crossing through tough times, I want to hold your hand

You are my sunshine sunshine All the day

You are my sunshine, sunshine, all day long

해가 밤을 돌아 아침을 또 만든 것처럼

Like the sun returning at night to start a new morning

날 비춰줘

Shine your light on me

너는 또 다른 나의 미래

You are another version of my future

영원히 계속될 Love way

A love way that lasts forever

너는 또 다른 나의 미래

You are another version of my future

I’ll show you my love

I'll show you my love

You are my future future All the time

You are my future, future, all the time

힘든 시간들을 건너 너의 손을 잡고 싶어

Crossing through tough times, I want to hold your hand

You are my sunshine sunshine All the day

You are my sunshine, sunshine, all day long

해가 밤을 돌아 아침을 또 만든 것처럼

Like the sun returning at night to start a new morning

날 비춰 줘

Shine your light on me

너는 또 다른 나의 미래

You are another version of my future

영원히 계속될 Love way

A love way that lasts forever

You are another version of my future

I’ll show you my love

I'll show you my love
