빛을 쏟는 Sky
A sky pouring out light
그 아래 선 아이 I
Underneath it, a line of I
꿈꾸듯이 Fly
Flying as if in a dream
My Life is a Beauty
어디서 많이 들어본 이야기
A story I've heard before
미운 오리와 백조 또 날기 전의 나비
The ugly duckling and the swan, a butterfly before it flies
사람들은 몰라 너의 날개를 못 봐
People don’t see, they can’t see your wings
네가 만난 세계라는 건 잔인할지도 몰라
The world you’ve encountered might be cruel
But strong girl you know you were born to fly
네가 흘린 눈물
The tears you’ve shed
네가 느낀 고통은 다
All the pain you felt
더 높이 날아오를 날을 위한
For the day I will soar even higher
준비일 뿐 Butterfly
Just getting ready, Butterfly
Everybody's gonna see it soon
모두 곧 그것을 보게 될 거야
빛을 쏟는 Sky
Sky pouring out light
그 아래 선 아이 I
Underneath that line, I
꿈꾸듯이 Fly
Fly as if in a dream
My Life is a Beauty
My life is a beautiful masterpiece
잊었던 꿈 내 맘 또 그려내
The forgotten dream paints my heart once more.
움츠렸던 시간 모두 모아 다 삼켜내
Gather all the time I've retracted and swallow it whole
작은 기억 하나 둘씩 날 깨워가
Little memories, one by one, wake me up
세상 가득 채울 만큼 나를 펼쳐가
Unfolding myself enough to fill the world
길고 긴 밤을 지나
As I pass through the long, endless night
다시 Trip 길을 떠나볼래
I want to set out again on a trip
Why not 이 세상에
Why not in this world
내 맘을 깨워 주는 한마디
A single word that awakens my heart
혼자였던 Yesterday
Yesterday was so lonely
셀 수 없는 시선에
With countless gazes upon me
떨어지는 눈물로
With tears that fall
하루를 또 견디고
Enduring another day
아슬했던 Yesterday
Yesterday, so precarious
쏟아지던 말들에
Words pouring down on me
흔들리는 나를 또 감싸고
Embracing the trembling me once more
빛을 쏟는 Sky
The sky pouring out its light
그 아래 선 아이 I
Beneath it, I stand, I
꿈꾸듯이 Fly
Flying as if in a dream
My Life is a Beauty
My Life is a Beauty
꽃잎은 저물고 힘겨웠던 난
Petals wither, and I, in struggle
작은 빛을 따라서
Following the faint light
아득했던 날 저 멀리 보내고
Sending away the distant days, far away
찬란하게 날아가
Soaring brightly into the sky
빛을 쏟는 Sky 새로워진 Eyes
A sky pouring light, my eyes are brand new
새로워진 Eyes 저 멀리로 Fly
My brand new eyes, flying far away
Fly High Fly High
난 나만의 Beauty
I'm my own kind of beauty
눈 감은 순간 시간은 멈춰가
In the moment I close my eyes, time stands still
난 다시 떠올라
I rise again
