[English]

Once upon a time, there was a story I heard

Beyond two rainbows

There's a spring where sunlight sparkles

What reflects on its surface

Is my true self

Happiness is now, happiness is the sky

Let’s fly fly & fly, we fly & fly

Looking into each other's eyes

We can trust each other, we can feel it

Let’s fly fly & fly, we fly & fly

Someday

You’ll understand

Now, you have your own

Colors, shapes, kindness, and strength — you have them all

Even if it doesn’t go as you thought

Even if it’s just failures

I’ll be here for you

I love you so much, I love you

I love you just as you are, Paradise

Know that treasures are right there

Even if you search the whole world

You’re only you

Let’s unfold the paradise that’s waiting

Anyone can find their Paradise

When the rain falls, the muddy roads are there, oh yeah

Butterflies gather on the flowers blooming by the road

The sun shining on them warmly embraces everything

Rain falls on the dried-up road

It’s just natural, but it’s a miracle

Within these small, tiny moments

Lies a big, endless dream

Even if tears come from being overwhelmed

I will reach out my hand

Because I’ll be here for you

I love you so much, I love you

I love you just as you are, Paradise

Know that you are the treasure itself

Even in the history of this star

There’s only you

Though unseen, it’s clear

Each person’s Paradise

Happiness is now, happiness is the sky

Let’s fly fly & fly, we fly & fly

Looking into each other's eyes

We can trust each other, we can feel it

So, it’s okay

Let’s go with what our hearts tell us, Paradise

[Korean]

옛날 옛적에 들었던 이야기

두 개의 무지개 그 너머에

햇살이 반짝이는 샘이 있어

그 수면에 비치는 건

진정한 내 모습

행복은 지금 행복은 하늘

Let’s fly fly & fly We fly & fly

눈과 눈을 맞추어

서로를 믿을 수 있어 느낄 수 있어

Let’s fly fly & fly We fly & fly

언젠가

알게 되겠지

네겐 이제 너만의

색깔도 모양도 상냥함도 강함도 있다는 걸

생각처럼 안 된다 해도

실패뿐이라 해도

내가 여기에 있을게

I love you so much 사랑해

있는 그대로 사랑해 Paradise

보물은 거기에 있어 알아줘

온 세상을 찾아봐도

너는 너 밖에 없어

펼쳐지는 낙원 이어보자

그 누구라도 Paradise

비가 내리면 질척이는 길 Oh yeah

길가에 핀 꽃에 모여든 나비를

비추는 태양은 모든 걸 따스하게 감싸

말라버린 길에 비가 내려

당연한 일이지만 기적이야

작고 작은 지금에는

커다란 꿈이 담겨있어

분에 겨워 울더라도

손을 내밀 테니까

내가 여기 있을 테니까

I love you so much 사랑해

있는 그대로 사랑해 Paradise

보물은 바로 너야 알아줘

이 별의 역사 속에서도

너는 너 밖에 없어

눈에 보이지 않지만 분명

한 사람 한 사람의 Paradise

행복은 지금 행복은 하늘

Let’s fly fly & fly We fly & fly

눈과 눈을 맞추어

서로를 믿을 수 있어 느낄 수 있어

그러니 괜찮아

마음 가는 대로 가자 Paradise
