[English]

On the day the cherry blossoms fell

I first met you

With unfamiliar trembling and fearful

Excitement mixing together

Now I can finally say

I was really scared

Maybe back then

I thought it was the last time

You embraced my clumsy self

You willingly held my imperfect self

I still remember your gaze

I will engrave it in my left chest forever

I promise you I won't forget

You who made me reborn

I promise you I promise you

I will do better and more

I promise you I won't let go

You who became my light

I promise you I promise you

In front of the shining spring day

I promise you

...

Back then, I hoped

That even one person would be on my side

Even if the world deceives me

You believed in me

Like a flower that couldn't bloom

On a day that could have wilted

You recognized me

You held me when I was shaking, oh

Every day feels

So precious

Like a gift

Every day feels like an anniversary

Embraced by the sun

Like the moon, so beautifully

Shining brighter than any light, forever

I promise you I won't forget

You who made me reborn

I promise you I promise you

In front of the shining spring day

I promise you

As seasons pass by

Even if time goes by us

Don't forget the first us

I promise you baby

I remember

You recognized me

Even when I didn't know myself

You are the reason I am who I am now

Don't worry, I remember

Forever, I remember

영원히 I remember

Forever and ever, I promise you

I promise you I won't change

Just as I am, until the end of life

I promise you I promise you

In front of the shining spring day

I promise you

Uh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Uh Oh Oh Oh Oh

I promise you

Uh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Uh Oh Oh Oh Oh

In front of you

I promise you

...

[Korean]

벚꽃이 떨어지던 날

그댈 처음 만났죠

낯설은 떨림과 두려운

설렘들이 뒤섞이던 날

이제서야 말해요

나 많이 겁이 났었죠

어쩌면 그때가

마지막이라고 생각했었기에

서툰 날 가슴에 품어주었던

못난 날 기꺼이 안아주었던

그대 눈빛을 아직도 기억해요 나

왼쪽 가슴에 새길게요 영원히

약속해요 잊지 않겠다고

날 다시 태어나게 해준 널

I promise you I promise you

내가 더 많이 더 잘할게요

약속해요 놓지 않겠다고

내게 빛이 되어준 그댈

I promise you I promise you

빛나던 봄날 앞에

약속해요

단 하나라도 내 편이

되어주길 바랐던 그때

세상이 날 속여도

너만은 날 믿어줬었지

피지 못한 꽃처럼

시들 수도 있던 날

알아봐 줬던 너니까

흔들리던 날 잡아준 너니까 Oh

새삼스레 하루하루가

너무나 소중해

선물 같은 나날

매일매일이 기념일 같아

태양에 안겨버린

달처럼 너무 예쁘게

어떤 빛보다 더 반짝여 영원히

약속해요 잊지 않겠다고

날 다시 태어나게 해준 널

I promise you I promise you

빛나던 봄날 앞에

약속해요

몇 번의 계절이 스치고

시간이 우리를 지나가도

처음의 우리를 잊지 말아요

I promise you baby

기억해요

나조차도 몰랐던

나를 알아봐 줬던

그대가 있어 지금의

내가 있단 걸

걱정 마 I remember

영원히 I remember

Forever and ever I promise you

약속해요 변치 않겠다고

지금 이대로 삶의 끝까지

I promise you I promise you

빛나던 봄날 앞에

I promise you

Uh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Uh Oh Oh Oh Oh

I promise you

Uh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Uh Oh Oh Oh Oh

그대 앞에 나

약속해요
