[English]

When a tiny little leaf

It's you, yeah

Fell down upon me

This world became colored by you

Following the light shining through the shadows

You are the sun that opens up my path

Every moment we spend together

Feels like a gift, Just stay here now

Through many passing seasons

These words I've been holding onto

Thank you for being you

In this square, clumsy world

Where everything felt so awkward

Your warmth stayed right by my side

Keep this light in my heart

When a freezing wind blows in

Your fresh, blooming smile appears

And I'll remember it

Smile for you (Yeah)

One more time Smile for you (Yeah- yeah-)

Only for you (Yeah)

My heart is only for you

Dding! What is this tingling feeling?

A telepathy I can feel without words

Woo! It feels like something is sparkling

Our fluttering hearts bloom in an instant

Through many passing seasons

These words I've been holding onto

Thank you for being you

In this square, clumsy world

Where everything felt so awkward

Your warmth stayed right by my side

Keep this light in my heart

When a freezing wind blows in

Your fresh, blooming smile appears

And I'll remember it

Smile for you (Yeah)

One more time Smile for you (Yeah- yeah-)

Only for you (Yeah)

My heart is only for you

Please hold my hand tight

Though I'm clumsy, if we're together (Uh-huh)

(Through any day, and any night)

We'll be happy just like now

It was always you

Shall we go to another world?

One, two, they bloom and become stars

Our paradise

When a freezing wind blows in

Your fresh, blooming smile appears

And I'll remember it

On December 17th

We first met

Back to when we were together (Rewind)

I'll remember this moment exactly as it is, forever

We can make it

I'll be with you

On December 17th

We first met

Back to when we were together (Rewind)

I'll remember this moment exactly as it is, forever

We can make it

I'll be with you

[Korean]

아주 작은 잎 하나가

It's you, yeah

나에게 떨어졌을 때

너로 번져버린 이세계

그늘 사이로 비친 빛 따라

넌 나의 길을 열어주는 Sun

함께하는 모든 순간이

마치 선물 같아, Just stay here now

몇 번의 계절 속에

간직했던 이 말

너라서 고마워

서툴기만 했던

네모난 세상 속

내 옆을 지켜준 너의 그 온기

Keep this light in my heart

차디찬 바람이 불어와

그때엔 싱그러운 너의 웃음꽃

난 기억할게

Smile for you (Yeah)

One more time Smile for you (Yeah- yeah-)

Only for you (Yeah)

내 맘은 Only for you

Dding ! 찌르르 이 느낌 뭐지?

말 안해도 느껴지는 텔레파시

Woo! 뭔가 반짝이는 듯 해

우리의 설렘들은 한순간에 피어나

몇 번의 계절 속에

간직했던 이 말

너라서 고마워

서툴기만 했던

네모난 세상 속

내 옆을 지켜준 너의 그 온기

Keep this light in my heart

차디찬 바람이 불어와

그때엔 싱그러운 너의 웃음꽃

난 기억할게

Smile for you (Yeah)

One more time Smile for you (Yeah- yeah-)

Only for you (Yeah)

내 맘은 Only for you

손을 꼭 잡아줘

서툴지만 함께라면 (Uh-huh)

(어떤 낮과, 어떤 밤도)

지금처럼 행복할 거야

난 항상 너였어

가볼까 Another world

하나 둘 피어나 별이 된 순간

우리의 Paradise

차디찬 바람이 불어와

그때엔 싱그러운 너의 웃음꽃

난 기억할게

12/17에

우리 처음 만나

함께 했던 그때로 (Rewind)

이 순간 그대로 기억해 영원히

We can make it

I'll be with you

12/17에

우리 처음 만나

함께 했던 그때로 (Rewind)

이 순간 그대로 기억해 영원히

We can make it

I'll be with you
