[English]

There’s one star and one you

That place was my long night

Even if the words "I love you" hesitate

There was no lie

You were angry and very quiet

That place was my long night

Even in the darkness, I couldn't sleep

Your voice comes to me, sobbing

If I'm by your side

Just being next to you

Made me happy

Don’t remember that fact badly

I really loved you for a long day and a long night

You might think it’s nonsense that I couldn’t help it

Please don’t remember me with hate

I still don’t really understand your traces

They’re too precious to erase

...

...

Good night, goodbye, with those words

The flowing time felt like a long day

We were deepening into each other

And I was afraid of that

You stayed still, and I did too

Those moments were our long days

As if the time we spent together had no meaning

It will only let us reminisce

If I'm by your side (if I'm by your side)

Just being next to you

I missed you and was happy again

That was sincere

I really loved you for a long day and a long night

You might think it’s nonsense that I couldn’t help it

Please don’t remember me with hate

I still don’t really understand your traces

They’re too precious to erase

The sky is really hazy

I need to gather my heart

Now the last voice

The last goodbye

...

Please don’t remember me with hate (don’t remember me)

I still don’t really understand your traces

They’re too precious to erase

...

[Korean]

별 하나 있고 너 하나 있는

그곳이 내 오랜 밤이었어

사랑해란 말이 머뭇거리어도

거짓은 없었어

넌 화나 있고 참 조용했던

그곳이 내 오랜 밤이었어

어둠 속에서도 잠 이루지 못해

흐느껴오는 너의 목소리

그대 곁이면

그저 곁에서만 있어도

행복했단 걸

그 사실까지 나쁘게 추억 말아요

오랜 날 오랜 밤 동안 정말 사랑했어요

어쩔 수 없었다는 건 말도 안 될 거라 생각하겠지만

밉게 날 기억하지는 말아줄래요

아직도 잘 모르겠어 당신의 흔적이

지울 수 없이 소중해

잘 자요, 안녕, 그 말 끝으로

흐른 시간은 오랜 날 같았어

우린 서로에게 깊어져 있었고

난 그게 두려워

넌 가만있고 나도 그러했던

순간은 우리 오랜 날

함께한 시간을 아무런 의미도 없듯이

추억만 하게 하겠죠

그대 곁이면 (그대 곁이면)

그저 곁에서만 있어도

보고 싶고 또 행복했어

그건 진심이었소

오랜 날 오랜 밤 동안 정말 사랑했어요

어쩔 수 없었다는 건 말도 안 될 거라 생각하겠지만

밉게 날 기억하지는 말아줄래요

아직도 잘 모르겠어 당신의 흔적이

지울 수 없이 소중해

하늘이 참 뿌옇고

맘을 다잡아야 하죠

이젠 마지막 목소리

마지막 안녕

밉게 날 기억하지는 말아줄래요 (말아줄래요)

아직도 잘 모르겠어 당신의 흔적이

지울 수 없이 소중해
