Lyrics & Translation

[Korean]

[English]

새로운 시작은

A new beginning

늘 설레게 하지

Always fills me with excitement

모든 걸 이겨 낼 것처럼

Like I can overcome everything

시간을 뒤쫓는

Chasing after time

시곗바늘처럼

Like the hands of a clock

앞질러 가고 싶어 하지

I want to get ahead

그어 놓은 선을 넘어

Cross the lines we've drawn

저마다 삶을 향해

Towards each person's life

때론 원망도 하겠지

Sometimes feeling resentful

그 선을 먼저 넘지 말라고

Don’t let yourself be the first to cross that line

I can fly the sky

I can fly the sky

Never gonna stay

Never gonna stay

내가 지쳐 쓰러질 때까진

Until I become exhausted and collapse

어떤 이유도

No matter the reason

어떤 변명도

No matter the excuse

지금 내겐 용기가 필요해

I need courage right now

빛나지 않아도

Even if I don't shine

내 꿈을 응원해

Cheer for my dreams

그 마지막을 가질 테니

Because I will have that final moment

부러진 것처럼

Like being broken

한 발로 뛰어도

Even if I run with one step

난 나의 길을 갈 테니까

I will follow my own path

지금 나를 위한 약속

A promise to myself now

멈추지 않겠다고

I won't stop

또 하나를 앞지르면

If I surpass another obstacle

곧 너의 뒤를 따라잡겠지

Soon I'll catch up to you

원하는 대로

As you wish

다 가질 거야

I'll have everything

그게 바로 내 꿈일 테니까

Because that’s my dream

변한 건 없어

Nothing has changed

버티고 버텨

Hang in there, persevere

내 꿈은 더 단단해질 테니

My dream will become stronger

다시 시작해

Start over again

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-

Ah-ah-ah-ah-

Ah-ah-ah-ah-

다시는 나를 잃고 싶지 않아

I never want to lose myself again

내 전불 걸었으니까

Because I bet everything on this

원하는 대로

As I wish

다 가질 거야

I will have everything

그게 바로 내 꿈일 테니까

Because that’s my dream

변한 건 없어

Nothing has changed

버티고 버텨

Hang in there, persevere

내 꿈은 더 단단해질 테니

My dream will become stronger

다시 시작해

Start over again
