Lyrics:

[한국어]

[English]

Longing for you, waiting for you

Longing for you, waiting for you

Hold me, hold me in your eyes (ooh, ooh)

Hold me, hold me in your eyes (ooh, ooh)

너라는 걸, 너뿐인 걸 모르겠니?

Don't you know it's you, it's only you?

I will be your love

I will be your love

Oh, 빨간 운동화 짧은 청바지

Oh, red sneakers, short jeans

참 어째도 해결이 안 될 것 같은 (곱슬머리)

I don't think this can ever be solved (curly hair)

하지만 왜일까? 자꾸 끌리는 내 마음이

But why? My heart keeps gravitating towards you

어쩌면 사랑 아닐까 (oh, la-la-la-la, la-la)

Maybe it's love (oh, la-la-la-la, la-la)

Longing for you, waiting for you

Longing for you, waiting for you

Hold me, hold me in your eyes (ooh, ooh)

Hold me, hold me in your eyes (ooh, ooh)

너라는 걸, 너뿐인 걸 모르겠니?

Don't you know it's you, it's only you?

I will be your love

I will be your love

Oh, 착한 눈동자 수줍은 표정 (oh)

Oh, kind eyes, shy expression (oh)

넌 어쩌면 어릴 적 책 속에 있던 어린 왕자

You're like the Little Prince from the book I read as a child

그래서 당연해 자꾸 끌리는 내 마음이

So it's natural my heart keeps gravitating towards you

어쩌면 사랑일 거야 (la-la-la-la, la-la)

Maybe it's love (la-la-la-la, la-la)

Longing for you, waiting for you

Longing for you, waiting for you

Hold me, hold me in your eyes (ooh, ooh)

Hold me, hold me in your eyes (ooh, ooh)

너라는 걸, 너뿐인 걸 모르겠니?

Don't you know it's you, it's only you?

I will be your love

I will be your love

깊은 밤 (깊은 밤), 하얀 별 (하얀 별)

Deep night (deep night), white star (white star)

그 별 속을 함께 날아요

Let's fly together in that star

...

...

Longing for you, waiting for you

Longing for you, waiting for you

Hold me, hold me in your eyes (ooh, ooh)

Hold me, hold me in your eyes (ooh, ooh)

너라는 걸, 너뿐인 걸 모르겠니?

Don't you know it's you, it's only you?

I will be your love

I will be your love

빨간 운동화

Red sneakers
