[English]

I thought it would just pass by meaninglessly

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

[Korean]

또 의미 없이 스쳐 갈

소나기인 줄 알았죠 (umm)

내 맘에 오래 이토록

머무를 줄 몰랐죠 (umm)

한 방울 그대의 눈빛에 난

두 방울 설렘에 빠져들고

이 순간 umm

네게로 Fall in love

Fall in love

하늘 가득 내린 소나기같이

날 물들인 이름

피할 수도 없이 맘 깊숙이 퍼진

너라는 이름

우연처럼 넌 쏟아져

내게 운명처럼 물들어

I’m thinking ‘bout you

I’m thinking ‘bout you

메마른 맘에 그대는

투명하게 적셨죠 (umm)

나조차 깨닫지 못한

감정을 꽃피우죠 (umm)

나 홀로 외로이 지새던 밤

너라는 눈부신 꿈을 찾아

그 순간 umm (그 순간 umm)

한 번 더 Fall in love

(한 번 더 Fall in love)

Fall in love tonight

(Tonight)

너를 만나 (너를 만나)

꿈만 같아 (같아)

Tonight

매일 숨을 쉬는 것처럼

널 떠올려 떠올려

하늘 가득 내린 소나기같이

날 물들인 이름

피할 수도 없이 맘 깊숙이 퍼진

너라는 이름

우연처럼 넌 쏟아져

내게 운명처럼 물들어

I’m thinking ‘bout you

I’m thinking ‘bout you

이제 네가 없는 하루가

떠오르지 않는 걸

텅 빈 내 세상을 채운 사람

너뿐이니까

모든 한계를 넘어 또 담을 넘어

영원할 수 있도록

운명의 실을 손에 쥘 거야 oh

내 맘

하늘 가득 내린 소나기같이

(하늘 가득 내린 소나기같이)

날 물들인 이름 (이름)

피할 수도 없이 (피할 수도 없이)

맘 깊숙이 퍼진

넌 마치 기적인걸

따스한 눈빛 다정한 손길

소나기같이 날 물들여

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

  ➔ -을/ㄹ 수도 없이 (without being able to, uncontrollably)

• 메마른 맘에 그대는 투명하게 적셨죠 (umm)

  ➔ Adjective/Verb stem + -게 (adverbial form)

• 나조차 깨닫지 못한 감정을 꽃피우죠 (umm)

  ➔ -조차 (even, not even)

  ➔ This particle means "even," often used to indicate that something unexpected or extreme is included, frequently in a negative context, implying "not even X." Here, "나조차" means "even I (couldn't realize)."
