[English]

You, you are my universe and I just want to put you first 

And you, you are my universe And I…

In the night I lie and look up at you When the morning comes I watch you rise 

There’s a paradise they couldn’t capture That bright infinity inside your eyes

매일 밤 네게 날아가 (가), 꿈이란 것도 잊은 채, 나 웃으며 너를 만나 (나) 

Never ending forever baby

You, you are my universe

And I just want to put you first 

And you, you are my universe And you make my world light up inside

어둠이 내겐 더 편했었지 길어진 그림자 속에서 (eyes) 

And they said that we can’t be together 

Because Because we come from different sides

You, you are my universe And I just want to put you first 

And you, you are my universe And you make my world light up inside

My universe do do do do 

You make my world light up inside Make my world light up inside

나를 밝혀주는 건 너란 사랑으로 수 놓아진 별 

내 우주의 넌 또 다른 세상을 만들어 주는 걸

너는 내 별이자 나의 우주니까 지금 이 시련도 결국엔 잠시니까 

너는 언제까지나 지금처럼 밝게만 빛나줘 우리는 너를 따라 이 긴 밤을 수놓을 거야

너와 함께 날아가 (가) 

When I’m without you I’m crazy 

자 어서 내 손을 잡아 (아) We are made of each other baby

You, you are my universe 

And I just want to put you first

You, you are my universe 

And you make my world light up inside

My universe do do do do My universe do do do do
