Lyrics by: Kang jiwon/Kim Dohun

Composed by: Kang jiwon/Kim Dohun/Park Geuntae

On this street where the sun is setting

The sky is stained in crimson hues

Leaning on each other

We embrace the end of the day

The warmth spreads quietly

Reaching me even without words

This moment is so wonderful

I want to make time stand still

You and I in the evening glow

Slowly coloring each other deeply

As I press my lips against yours

I pull you closer

Under a sky full of starlight

Breathing in each other's breath

Your breath soaks into me

Spreading through my soul

stay in the twilight

stay in the twilight

I want to keep staying here, in the place we made together

As the stars descend one by one

And shine down upon us

I'm afraid it might all disappear

I hold you even tighter

You and I in the evening glow

Slowly coloring each other deeply

As I press my lips against yours

I pull you closer

Under a sky full of starlight

Breathing in each other's breath

Your breath soaks into me

Spreading through my soul

In this night that envelops you and me

Beyond the scattering moments of time

Into that sky filled with you

We throw ourselves

Under a sky full of starlight

Falling asleep, leaning on each other

Your warmth fills my heart

Spreading through my soul

stay in the twilight

stay in the twilight

해가 지는 이 거리

붉게 물든 하늘빛

서로에게 기대어

하루에 끝을 감싸네

조용히 번진 온기

말없이도 전해져

너무 좋은 이 순간

시간을 멈추고 싶어

저녁 노을 속에 너와 나

점점 깊이 서로 물들어

나는 너에게 입맞추며

끌어당긴다

별빛 가득한 하늘아래

서로의 숨을 들여 마시며

너의 숨결이 나를 적셔가

내게 번진다

stay in the twilight

stay in the twilight

너와 만든 이 곳에서 계속 머물고 싶어

별 빛 하나 둘 내려와

우리 위를 비추면

사라질까 두려워

너를 더 깊이 안아

저녁 노을 속에 너와 나

점점 깊이 서로 물들어

나는 너에게 입 맞추며

끌어당긴다

별빛 가득한 하늘 아래

서로의 숨을 들여 마시며

너의 숨결이 나를 적셔가

내게 번진다

너와 나를 감싼 이 밤에

흩어지는 시간 너머로

너로 가득찬 저 하늘에

우릴 던진다

별빛 가득한 하늘아래

서로에게 기대어 잠들어

너의 온기가 내 안을 채워

내게 번진다

stay in the twilight

stay in the twilight
