달이 이렇게 눈부시는 밤엔

dal-i i-reot-ge nun-bu-si-neun bam-en

Why do I feel so lonely in this night?

새벽바람은 마법일까?

sae-byeok-ba-ram-eun ma-beop-il-kka?

창문에 걸려 있는 starry night

저 밝은 빛에 뒤척이다 날이 샌다

tta-seu-han bit-eul nae-ri-jjoe-neun bit-eul bat-a-jwo

Needle in a haystack, 나를 찾아줘

외롭진 않은데 모든 게 너무 차가워

oe-rop-jin an-eun-de mo-deun ge neo-mu cha-ga-wo

저 빛의 손을 내게 기울인다면

jeo bit-ui son-eul nae-ge gi-ul-in-da-myeon

그동안 얼어붙은 공허함을 녹여줘

geu-dong-an eol-eo-but-eun gong-heo-ham-eul nok-yeo-jwo

Yeah, I tried to hide away from all the sorrow and pain

But little did I know that I was going insane

The sun will always be there, waiting after the rain

눈 감고서 햇빛을 바라보며 웃어 볼래

I can't take it anymore, what should I do?

(What should I do? What should I do?)

오늘은 모른 척 눈감아 줘

o-neul-eun mo-reun cheok nun-gam-a jwo

So, cover me now

Cover me now

달이 이렇게 눈부시는 밤엔 (Oh)
