Like a sudden shower (umm)
I didn't know you would stay
In my heart for so long (umm)
With one drop of your gaze, I
Fell deeper into a flutter
At this moment, umm
Falling for you, Fall in love
Fall in love
Like a sudden shower that filled the sky
The name that colored me
Spread deep into my heart, impossible to avoid
Your name
You poured down like a coincidence
And colored me like destiny
I’m thinking ‘bout you
I’m thinking ‘bout you
In my dry heart, you
Gently moistened it (umm)
Feelings I didn't even realize
You made blossom (umm)
Nights I spent lonely and alone
Searching for a dazzling dream called you
At that moment, umm (at that moment, umm)
Once more, Fall in love
(Once more, Fall in love)
Fall in love tonight
(Tonight)
Meeting you (meeting you)
It's like a dream (like a dream)
Tonight
Like breathing every day
I think of you, think of you
Like a sudden shower that filled the sky
The name that colored me
Spread deep into my heart, impossible to avoid
Your name
You poured down like a coincidence
And colored me like destiny
I’m thinking ‘bout you
I’m thinking ‘bout you
Now, a day without you
I can't imagine
You're the one who filled my empty world
Because it's only you
Beyond all limits, and over every wall
So we can be eternal
I'll hold the thread of destiny in my hand, oh
My heart
Like a sudden shower that filled the sky
(Like a sudden shower that filled the sky)
The name that colored me (name)
Impossible to avoid (impossible to avoid)
Spread deep into my heart
You're like a miracle
Your warm gaze, your gentle touch
Color me like a sudden shower
I’m thinking ‘bout you
I’m thinking ‘bout you

Key Grammar Structures
-
또 의미 없이 스쳐 갈 소나기인 줄 알았죠 (umm)
➔ -인 줄 알다 (to think it is/was)
➔ This grammar is used to express an assumption or belief about something, which often turns out to be different from reality. It indicates that one "thought it was X" or "knew it was X". Here, "스쳐 갈 소나기인 줄 알았죠" means "I thought it was just a passing shower."
-
하늘 가득 내린 소나기같이 날 물들인 이름
➔ Verb + -(으)ㄴ/는/을/ㄹ (Noun Modifier - Past Tense)
➔ This grammatical structure is used to transform a verb into an adjective, allowing it to modify a noun. The ending "-(으)ㄴ" is specifically for past tense verbs. In this line, "내린" (from 내리다 - to fall/pour) modifies "소나기" (shower), and "물들인" (from 물들이다 - to color/dye) modifies "이름" (name), meaning "the name that colored me."
-
피할 수도 없이 맘 깊숙이 퍼진 너라는 이름
➔ Noun + -(이)라는 (called X, the X of)
➔ This structure is used to introduce or specify a noun, often meaning "the noun called X" or "the X which is (named) noun." It helps to define or categorize the preceding noun. Here, "너라는 이름" literally means "the name which is you" or "the name called 'you'."
-
피할 수도 없이 맘 깊숙이 퍼진 너라는 이름

-
메마른 맘에 그대는 투명하게 적셨죠 (umm)

-
나조차 깨닫지 못한 감정을 꽃피우죠 (umm)
➔ -조차 (even, not even)
