[English]

Looking up at the silent sky

I press my hands together and send my signal

If I see you, if I truly see you

I will make flowers bloom on this parched land

The calm before the typhoon blows

I whisper, breaking the silence

Searching for you, who will eventually fill this place

Rain is falling as I look out the window

And there you are, already standing there waiting for me

I prayed to the heavens not to lose you

A fateful encounter

For an inevitable love

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

...

On days when I miss you

I've always soaked this place in rain

But you are always right in the middle of the dawn road

Opening your heart for me every single day

The rainwater seeping through my clothes

Soaks in, carrying memories with it

The day I meet you will always

Exist in a place where it is raining

My heart, waiting for you

Has already risen to reach the heavens

Meeting you, who has already filled this place

Rain is falling as I look out the window

And there you are, already standing there waiting for me

I prayed to the heavens not to lose you

A fateful encounter

For an inevitable love

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

(CyA, drip, drip) At last, the sunshower begins

I glance idly at the raindrops on my shoulder

(Drip, drip) Now, they reflect your image

Buried deep within the origins

My February, within the curtain of the monsoon

On days when I miss you

I only wait for the rain to fall

Even if it is only for a brief moment

If I can capture your likeness

...

Rain is falling as I look out the window

And there you are, already standing there waiting for me

I prayed to the heavens not to lose you

A fateful encounter

For an inevitable love

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na

...

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

It's raining again, wherever I go

And you are already smiling at me

Today, too, for the sake of every single moment

A fateful moment

Spending an inevitable day

...

[Korean]

말 없는 하늘을 올려다보면서

두 손 모아 내 신호를 보내

널 본다면 보게 된다면

마른 이 땅에 꽃을 피우리

태풍이 불기 전에 고요한

침묵을 깨며 속삭여

결국 이곳을 가득 채울 널 찾아

비가 떨어지네 창밖을 보는데

이미 넌 날 기다리며 서 있어

하늘에 빌었네 널 놓치지 않게

운명적인 만남

필연적인 사랑을 위해

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

네가 보고 싶은 날에는

항상 이곳을 적셨는데

당신은 곧 새벽길 한복판

매일 날 위해 열어두잖아

옷깃 사이로 흘러든 빗물은

추억을 담은 채로 스며

너를 만나는 날은 언제나

비가 내리는 곳에 존재하리

너를 기다리는 내 마음은

그새 차올라 하늘에 닿아

이미 이곳을 가득 채운 널 만나

비가 떨어지네 창밖을 보는데

이미 넌 날 기다리며 서 있어

하늘에 빌었네 널 놓치지 않게

운명적인 만남

필연적인 사랑을 위해

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

(CyA, 뚝뚝 뚝뚝) 마침내 여우비는 시작돼

어깨에 있는 빗물들을 괜히 흘겨보네

(뚝뚝 뚝뚝) 이젠 네 모습을 비춰

질원을 깊게 파묻어버린

장막 안 장맛 속 내 이월

너가 보고 싶은 날에는

비가 내리기만을 기다려

비록 짧은 순간일지라도

네 모습을 담을 수 있다면

비가 떨어지네 창밖을 보는데

이미 넌 날 기다리며 서 있어

하늘에 빌었네 널 놓치지 않게

운명적인 만남

필연적인 사랑을 위해

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

비가 또 내리네 내가 가는 곳에

이미 너는 나를 보며 미소를 지어

오늘도 이렇게 매 순간을 위해

운명적인 순간

필연적인 하루를 보내
