Lyrics & Translation

[Korean]

[English]

달이 익어가니 서둘러 젊은 피야

As the moon ripens, hurry up, young blood

민들레 한 송이 들고

Holding a single dandelion

사랑이 어지러이 떠다니는 밤이야

It's a night where love floats chaotically

날아가 사뿐히 이루렴

Fly away gently and achieve it

팽팽한 어둠 사이로

Through the taut darkness

떠오르는 기분

Feeling it rise

이 거대한 무중력에 혹 휘청해도

Even if I sway in this vast weightlessness

두렵진 않을 거야

I won't be afraid

푸르른 우리 위로

Above us, so blue

커다란 strawberry moon, 한 스쿱

A big strawberry moon, one scoop

나에게 너를 맡겨볼래, eh-oh

I want to entrust you to me, eh-oh

바람을 세로질러

Cutting through the wind

날아오르는 기분 so cool

Feeling like I'm soaring, so cool

삶이 어떻게 더 완벽해, ooh

How could life be more perfect, ooh

다시 마주하기 어려운 행운이야

It's a fortune that's hard to meet again

...

...

온몸에 심장이 뛰어

My heart is racing all over

Oh, 오히려 기꺼이 헤매고픈 밤이야

Oh, rather, it's a night I want to wander willingly

너와 길 잃을 수 있다면

If I can get lost with you

맞잡은 서로의 손으로

With our hands held together

출입구를 허문

Breaking down the entrance

이 무한함의 끝과 끝 또 위아래로

At the ends of this infinity, up and down

비행을 떠날 거야

I will take flight

푸르른 우리 위로

Above us, so blue

커다란 strawberry moon, 한 스쿱

A big strawberry moon, one scoop

나에게 너를 맡겨볼래, eh-oh

I want to entrust you to me, eh-oh

바람을 세로질러

Cutting through the wind

날아오르는 기분 so cool

Feeling like I'm soaring, so cool

삶이 어떻게 더 완벽해, ooh

How could life be more perfect, ooh

놀라워 이보다

It's amazing, is there anything better than this?

꿈같은 순간이 또 있을까? (더 있을까?)

Will there be another moment like a dream? (Will there be more?)

아마도 우리가 처음 발견한

Perhaps everything we discovered first

오늘 이 밤의 모든 것, 그 위로 날아

Tonight, everything about this night, I fly above it

푸르른 우리 위로

Above us, so blue

커다란 strawberry moon, 한 스쿱

A big strawberry moon, one scoop

세상을 가져보니 어때, eh-oh

How does it feel to have the world, eh-oh

바람을 세로질러

Cutting through the wind

날아오르는 기분 so cool

Feeling like I'm soaring, so cool

삶이 어떻게 더 완벽해, ooh

How could life be more perfect, ooh

...
