Rain falls thin across the night
밤사이 얇게 비가 내리고
Your reflection on the glass
창문에 비친 너의 모습
Under one umbrella slow
하나의 우산 아래 천천히
We were walking through the blue
우린 푸른빛 속을 걷고 있었지
Did not need to say a word
아무 말도 할 필요 없었어
I could feel it next to you
네 곁에서 느낄 수 있었으니까
Even with the faded sky
빛바랜 하늘 속에서도
You were somehow clear to me
넌 왠지 선명하게 보였어
In the middle of my storm
내 폭풍의 한가운데서
You became my quiet street
넌 나의 조용한 거리가 되었지
Drop by drop the dark runs clear
한 방울씩 어둠이 맑아져
What I lost feels close from here
내가 잃어버린 것들이 여기서 가깝게 느껴져
After the rain
비가 그친 후
You come back again
넌 다시 돌아오네
Into my heart
내 마음속으로
Soft as you are
부드러운 너의 모습 그대로
After the rain
비가 그친 후
You wash off the pain
넌 아픔을 씻어내네
Out of the gray
잿빛 하늘 밖으로
You light up my day
내 하루를 밝게 비추네
After the rain
비가 그친 후
At the edge of a long day I was holding my breath
긴 하루의 끝에서 난 숨을 참았어
Every little memory was a weight on my chest
모든 작은 기억들이 내 가슴을 짓눌렀지
Tried to tell myself move on, tried to call it the end
잊으라 내 자신에게 말해봤고, 끝이라 부르려 했어
But your voice in the silence kept pulling me in
하지만 침묵 속 네 목소리가 계속 날 끌어당겼지
Now the clouds break open and the air feels new
이제 구름이 걷히고 공기가 새롭게 느껴져
Every road that was empty leads me back to you
비어있던 모든 길이 다시 너에게로 이어져
What was cold in my hands turns warm in the light
내 손에 차갑던 것이 빛 속에서 따뜻해지고
And the sky in my chest finally opens tonight
내 가슴속 하늘이 마침내 오늘 밤 열려
After the rain
비가 그친 후
You come back again
넌 다시 돌아오네
Into my heart
내 마음속으로
Soft as you are
부드러운 너의 모습 그대로
After the rain
비가 그친 후
You wash off the pain
넌 아픔을 씻어내네
Out of the gray
잿빛 하늘 밖으로
You brighten my way
내 길을 밝게 비추네
After the rain
비가 그친 후
When the storm is gone
폭풍이 지나간 후에도
Your name stays on
너의 이름은 남아 있어
