Lyrics, Cara Baca & English Translation
Whenever you come, 알 수 없는 일이야
Whenever you come, al su eop-neun il-i-ya
아주잠시 두눈을 깜빡이면
a-ju-jam-si du-nun-eul kkam-ppak-i-myeon
Never felt like this, 또 어느새 난
Never felt like this, tto eo-neu-sae nan
너의 발자욱 따라, 걸어 가고있어
neo-ui bal-ja-uk tta-ra, geol-eo ga-go-iss-eo
잊었던 계절의 모퉁이에서
it-eoss-deon gye-jeol-ui mo-tung-i-e-seo
혹시 우리는 마주했었을까?
hok-si u-ri-neun ma-ju-haess-eoss-eul-kka?
잠시 또 머리를 털어내봐도
jam-si tto meo-ri-reul teol-eo-nae-bwa-do
웃음이 새어나곤해, 고장난걸까?
us-eum-i sae-eo-na-gon-hae, go-jang-nan-geol-kka?
You are the light to my darkness, I just realized it
여름밤 축제 불꽃들처럼 쏟아져내려
yeo-reum-bam chuk-je bul-kkot-deul-cheo-reom ssot-a-jyeo-nae-ryeo
When you tell me your dreams, I don't need a reason
어느새 너를 바라보는 나의 그림자
eo-neu-sae neo-reul ba-ra-bo-neun na-ui geu-rim-ja
I'm staying, staying for a lifetime
I'm staying, staying with you forever and more
I still don't know why, 이런 나의 마음이
I still don't know why, i-reon na-ui ma-eum-i
튀어나오려해 너를 볼때
twi-eo-na-o-ryeo-hae neo-reul bol-ttae
Are you the same, 너의 하루가
Are you the same, neo-ui ha-ru-ga
온통 궁금해, 나는 이렇게 매일
on-tong gung-geum-hae, na-neun i-reot-ge mae-il
이유없이 어깨를 부딫쳐와도
i-yu-eop-i eo-kkae-reul bu-dit-chyeo-wa-do
웃음이 새어나오곤해, 고장난걸까?
us-eum-i sae-eo-na-o-gon-hae, go-jang-nan-geol-kka?
You are the light to my darkness, I just realized it
어두운 밤의 불꽃들처럼 쏟아져내려
eo-du-un bam-ui bul-kkot-deul-cheo-reom ssot-a-jyeo-nae-ryeo
When you tell me your dreams, I don't need a reason
어느새 너를 바라보는 나의 그림자
eo-neu-sae neo-reul ba-ra-bo-neun na-ui geu-rim-ja
It takes no time to fall into your smile
Into your smile, I can't help looking at you
It takes no time to fall into your eyes
Into your eyes, I'm telling you
I'm staying, staying for a lifetime
I'm staying, staying with you forever and more
