존재하는 이유
The reason I exist
00:06
그런 건 아무래도 좋으니
It doesn't really matter
00:08
그리 즐겁지도 괴롭지도 않은 바람아 불어라
Wind, blow as you like, not so joyful or painful
00:12
달을 찾는 이유
Why I look for the moon
00:19
예쁜 건 언제 봐도 좋으니
Pretty things are good anytime
00:21
나는 세계의 시계를 부수고 너에게 닿는다
I break the clock of the world to reach you
00:24
너와 함께 바라본
With you, I watched
00:31
붕괴하는 세상의 반짝임을
The sparkle of a collapsing world
00:34
그 찰나를 별의 시작이라고 부를 거야
We’ll call that moment the birth of a star
00:38
시간의 중력으로는
With the gravity of time
00:45
우리의 모든 이야기를
It’ll never catch up
00:48
따라잡을 수 없을 테니까
To all our stories
00:51
시작의 푸름에
In the blue of the beginning
00:58
모든 이름에 네가 새겨져 있을 뿐
Your name is carved into everything
01:00
낮과 밤을 지나 새벽 속에도 잠들지 않는 아이 아 이야
Across days and nights, even at dawn, the child who never sleeps
01:03
열 번의 기적처럼
Like ten miracles
01:10
널 가득 안은 채
I hold you close
01:15
그대로 멈춰라
Let it stay just like this
01:18
내 하루에 번져가는 시작의 너
You, the beginning, spreading through my day
01:21
달이 예쁘다고
That night I told you
01:31
네게 말해줬던 그 밤은
The moon looked beautiful
01:34
너무 뜨겁지도 아쉽지도 않은 고요함이었지
It was a calm that wasn’t too hot or longing
01:37
너를 찾는 이유
The reason I look for you
01:43
어쩌면 찾지 않았을지도
Maybe I never had to search
01:46
사실 언제 만났어도 지금처럼 너를 좋아했을 거야
No matter when we met, I’d like you just the same
01:49
너와 함께 바라본
With you, I watched
01:56
마주하는 눈빛의 반짝임을
The brilliance in the eyes we exchanged
01:59
그 찰나를 시작의 별이라고 부를 거야
We’ll call that moment the beginning star
02:03
처음 느낌 그대로
As it felt at first
02:09
우리의 모든 이야기를
We’ll complete all our stories
02:12
완성해 낼 수 있을 테니까
We’ll make it to the end together
02:15
시작의 푸름에
In the blue of the beginning
02:22
모든 이름에 네가 새겨져 있을 뿐
Your name is carved into everything
02:25
낮과 밤을 지나 새벽 속에도 잠들지 않는 아이 아 이야
Across days and nights, even at dawn, the child who never sleeps
02:28
백야의 하늘 아래
Under the white night sky
02:35
널 가득 안은 채
I hold you close
02:40
그대로 멈춰라
Let it stay just like this
02:43
내 하루에 번져가는 시작의 너
You, the beginning, spreading through my day
02:46
숨 쉴 수 있는 순간에 한 번 더 너를 안고
In every breath, I hold you once more
02:53
그 품이 그리워 미래에 더 아파할 거야
Longing for that embrace, the future will be more painful
03:00
언젠가 시간보다 늦었던 마음이 밉지 않도록
So that I won’t resent the heart that arrived late someday
03:05
천 개의 바람으로 날아가 흩어지기 전에
Before I scatter on a thousand winds and fly away
03:13
내 모든 이름에
In all my names
03:24
꿈의 흐름에 네가 새겨져 있는 걸 숨과 바람 사이 영원 속에도
In the flow of dreams, your name is carved between breaths, in the wind, in eternity too
03:27
잠들지 않는 아이 아 이야
The child who never sleeps
03:33
만개의 계절 속에
Across ten thousand seasons
03:36
태어나는 시작의 푸름으로 부르는 노래
Born again as the blue beginning, singing a song
03:40
널 사랑하는 나의 마음이야
It’s my heart that loves you
00:02
숨 쉴 수 있는 순간에 한 번 더 너를 안고
In every breath, I hold you once more
04:03
그 품이 그리워 더 아파할 거야
Longing for that embrace, it will ache even more
04:10

[English]
The reason I exist
It doesn't really matter
Wind, blow as you like, not so joyful or painful
Why I look for the moon
Pretty things are good anytime
I break the clock of the world to reach you
With you, I watched
The sparkle of a collapsing world
We’ll call that moment the birth of a star
With the gravity of time
It’ll never catch up
To all our stories
In the blue of the beginning
Your name is carved into everything
Across days and nights, even at dawn, the child who never sleeps
Like ten miracles
I hold you close
Let it stay just like this
You, the beginning, spreading through my day
That night I told you
The moon looked beautiful
It was a calm that wasn’t too hot or longing
The reason I look for you

No matter when we met, I’d like you just the same
With you, I watched
The brilliance in the eyes we exchanged
We’ll call that moment the beginning star

You, the beginning, spreading through my day
In every breath, I hold you once more
Longing for that embrace, the future will be more painful
So that I won’t resent the heart that arrived late someday
Before I scatter on a thousand winds and fly away
In all my names
In the flow of dreams, your name is carved between breaths, in the wind, in eternity too
The child who never sleeps
Across ten thousand seasons
Born again as the blue beginning, singing a song
It’s my heart that loves you
In every breath, I hold you once more
Longing for that embrace, it will ache even more
It doesn't really matter
Wind, blow as you like, not so joyful or painful
Why I look for the moon
