Hey!
Hey!
One step, one light—
한 걸음, 하나의 빛—
I’m gonna hit that sky tonight!
오늘 밤 난 저 하늘에 닿을 거야!
Fresh breeze on my shoulder,
어깨 위를 스치는 신선한 바람,
Dreams getting louder, bolder.
꿈은 점점 더 커지고 대담해져.
Every little step, I grow older,
한 걸음마다 난 성숙해지지만,
But my heart stays young—no closure.
내 마음은 늙지 않아—끝이란 없으니까.
Daylight dripping down my hand,
손등 위로 쏟아지는 햇살,
Tiny hopes turn into plans.
작은 희망들은 계획이 되고.
I run, I leap, I understand—
달리고, 뛰어오르며 난 깨달아—
My dream belongs above this land.
내 꿈은 이 땅 위 높은 곳에 있다는 걸.
I don’t need a perfect sign,
완벽한 표지판은 필요 없어,
Just a spark that feels like mine.
그저 내 것 같은 불꽃 하나면 돼.
Follow it and I will find
그걸 따라가다 보면 난 찾게 될 거야,
A way to climb the cloudy line.
구름 위로 향하는 길을.
Blue dream rising—up, up high!
푸른 꿈이 솟아올라—더 높이!
Riding on the wind tonight.
오늘 밤 바람을 타고.
Blue dream shining—bright, my sky!
푸른 꿈이 반짝여—밝게 빛나는 나의 하늘!
Lift me where the hopes collide.
희망이 맞닿는 곳으로 나를 이끌어줘.
Blue dream rising—don’t ask why,
푸른 꿈이 솟아올라—이유는 묻지 마,
Just believe and let me fly.
그저 믿고 날아오를 수 있게 해줘.
High, so high—my dream, my light,
높이, 더 높이—나의 꿈, 나의 빛,
Blue dream rising, up all night!
밤새도록 떠오르는 푸른 꿈!
Footsteps echo on the street,
거리 위에 울려 퍼지는 발소리,
Faster than my heartbeat beat.
내 심장 박동보다 더 빠르게.
Chasing moments, pure and sweet,
순수하고 달콤한 순간들을 쫓아,
Every failure turns to heat.
모든 실패는 열정의 뜨거움이 돼.
Paper planes and silver lines,
종이비행기와 은빛 선들,
Filling up my open mind.
열린 마음속을 가득 채우고.
What I lost, I leave behind—
잃어버린 것은 뒤에 남겨둬—
What I seek, I’m meant to find.
내가 찾는 것은 결국 찾아낼 운명이니까.
I don’t need a perfect sign,
완벽한 표지판은 필요 없어,
Just a spark that feels like mine.
그저 내 것 같은 불꽃 하나면 돼.
Follow it and I will find
그걸 따라가다 보면 난 찾게 될 거야,
A way to climb the cloudy line.
구름 위로 향하는 길을.
Blue dream rising—up, up high!
푸른 꿈이 솟아올라—더 높이!
Riding on the wind tonight.
오늘 밤 바람을 타고.
Blue dream shining—bright, my sky!

Pulling all the stars in sight.
시야 속 모든 별들을 끌어당겨.
Blue dream rising—don’t ask why,
푸른 꿈이 솟아올라—이유는 묻지 마,
Just believe and let me fly.
그저 믿고 날아오를 수 있게 해줘.

Take my hand, let’s climb the air,
내 손을 잡아, 공중을 타고 올라가자,
Run with me to anywhere.
나와 함께 어디로든 달려가.
Even if the world’s not fair—
세상이 불공평할지라도—
Our dreams still land us there.
우리의 꿈은 결국 우릴 그곳에 데려다줄 거야.
Blue dream rising—up, up high!
푸른 꿈이 솟아올라—더 높이!
Lift me to the morning light.
아침 햇살 속으로 나를 들어 올려줘.
Blue dream shining—bright, my sky!
푸른 꿈이 반짝여—밝게 빛나는 나의 하늘!
Summer in my lungs tonight.
내 폐부 속에 가득한 이 밤의 여름.
