[English]

My fingertips are getting cold, and spring has already arrived.

A dreamlike breeze blows everywhere.

This different feeling from usual is so welcome.

Will tomorrow be a little different day?

Left behind in this deep shadow of darkness tonight.

The moon is shining bright.

Drawing its light.

As much as I’ve taken you out of my body.

Water in the bathtub overflows with regret.

My sighs fill that space.

When dawn arrives.

And I’m left all alone.

Starry night, a night when stars shine.

You blow gently, gently.

Countless nights shared with you.

Make me so intoxicated.

Starry night.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah, night when stars shine.

Stars shine brightly.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah, night when stars shine.

Stars shine brightly.

Night when stars shine, winter has passed, and flowers bloom again.

The warm air's scent wraps around us.

Our ordinary days keep repeating without change.

Still, I wait for tomorrow.

Remaining here at the end of each day.

Until dawn comes again.

I'm drawing you.

Do you want me to leave?

No! I stay right here.

Hidden behind the black night sky.

Temporarily out of sight.

When dawn arrives.

And when I’m left all alone.

Starry night, a night when stars shine.

You blow gently, gently.

Countless nights shared with you.

Make me so intoxicated.

Starry night.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah, night when stars shine.

Stars shine brightly.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah, night when stars shine.

Stars shine brightly.

Starry, starry night, a night without you.

My heart feels empty.

Our scenery is fading away.

Denying reality, I close my eyes.

But I see you; why do I keep flickering?

Leave me alone.

It's collapsing.

Starry night, a night when stars shine.

You blow gently, gently.

Countless nights shared with you.

Make me so intoxicated.

Starry night.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah, night when stars shine.

Stars shine brightly.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah, night when stars shine.

Stars shine brightly.

I become numb, numb.

If I smile once, my worries disappear.

From that place, I find my way back to life.

[Korean]

손끝이 시리더니 벌써 봄이 왔네

꿈같은 바람이 불어 곳곳에

여느 때 와는 다른 듯한 이 기분이 반가워

내일은 좀 다른 날이 되려나

어둠의 그림자 깊은 이 밤에 남겨진

달이 달이 밝아와

빛을 그리고 있어

내 몸에서 널 뺀 만큼

욕조에 물이 미련이 되어 넘쳐흘러

한숨이 가득 그 공간을 채워

새벽이 찾아오면

혼자 남겨질 때면

Starry night 별이 빛나는 밤

네가 휘휘휘 불어와

너와 나 나눈 수많은 밤

나를 취하게 만들어

별이 빛나는 밤

야야야야이야

별이 빛나는 밤

야야야야이야

별이 빛나는 밤

겨울이 지나고 또다시 꽃은 피고

따뜻한 공기 냄새가 날 감싸

달라진 거 없는 똑같은 일상이 반복돼

그래도 내일을 기다려봐

하루에 끝에서 이 자리에 남아서

날이 날이 새도록

너를 그리고 있어

Do you want me to leave?

No! 난 그 자리 그대로

까만 밤하늘에 가려

잠시 보이지 않는 거야

새벽이 찾아오면

혼자 남겨질 때면

Starry night 별이 빛나는 밤

네가 휘휘휘 불어와

너와 나 나눈 수많은 밤

나를 취하게 만들어

별이 빛나는 밤

야야야야이야

별이 빛나는 밤

야야야야야야야

별이 빛나는 밤

Starry Starry Night 네가 없는 밤

가슴이 공허해

우리의 풍경이 저물어가

현실을 부정해 눈을 감아도

네가 보여 왜 아른거려

Leave me alone

무너져 가네

Starry night 별이 빛나는 밤

네가 휘휘휘 불어와

너와 나 나눈 수많은 밤

나를 취하게 만들어

별이 빛나는 밤

야야야야이야

별이 빛나는 밤

야야야야이야

별이 빛나는 밤

오 덤덤해지네 덤덤해지네

아빤 한번 웃으면 걱정 두 개가 사라진 데

그곳에서 나는 다시 삶의 길을 찾아가네
