The single was later delayed to May 4th, because of her father's passing on March 9th.

태연 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
몰래 적어보는 그날의 list
달력 위엔 나만 아는 표시
어린아이처럼 설레는 느낌
하루하루 다가오는 your birthday
한 다발 꽃처럼 안겨줄 happy
그날의 난 너만 비추는 햇빛
Oh 시간 가는 줄을 몰라
One day I will, one day I will
Just wait until, just wait until
반짝이는 촛불에 빈 네 소원이
이뤄지는 게 내 소원이 될 거야 baby
One day I will, one day I will
Just wait until, just wait until
네가 태어나 지나온 모든 하루 중에
가장 멋진 선물 같은 날을 네게 줄게
언제보다 특별해질 kiss
넘친 말을 대신하는 눈빛
너와 함께 할 수 있는 세상이
처음 시작된 그날이 다가와
알아도 모른 척 놀라줘 honey
온종일 나 혼자 조급해 하지
또 한없이 무언가 빠진 느낌
Oh 더 완벽할 수는 없을까
One day I will, one day I will
Just wait until, just wait until
반짝이는 촛불에 빈 네 소원이
이뤄지는 게 내 소원이 될 거야 baby
One day I will, one day I will
Just wait until, just wait until
네가 태어나 지나온 모든 하루 중에
가장 멋진 선물 같은 날을 네게 줄게
Uh 네게 작은 하나까지
전하고픈 마음 모두
빛난 하루 속에 담아서 I'll never break it
좀 더 기다려줘 baby
Ooh 네가 내게 오는 걸음마다
꿈을 꾸듯 불을 밝힐 my all
Hey you're my all!
Oh, one day I will, one day I will
Just wait until, just wait until
오늘 세상에 더 아름다운 모든 것이
너를 위해 노래하는 날일 거야 baby
One day I will, one day I will
Just wait until, just wait until
네가 언젠가 돌아보고픈 하루 속에
가장 행복한 순간을 네게 전해 baby

어디서 많이 들어본 이야기
It's a story that she's heard many times before
미운 오리와 백조 또 날기 전의 나비
Like the ugly duckling, the swan, and the butterfly before they learned to fly,
사람들은 몰라 너의 날개를 못 봐
People don't recognize her potential, just like they can't see her wings
네가 만난 세계라는 건 잔인할지도 몰라
The world you'll encounter might be cruel
But strong girl, you know you were born to fly
She is a tough girl, and knows that she was meant to fly
네가 흘린 눈물
The tears you shed
네가 느낀 고통은 다
The pain you felt is over
더 높이 날아오를 날을 위한 준비일 뿐 butterfly

She sets out on a trip again
Why not 이 세상에
Why not in this world?
내 맘을 깨워 주는 한마디
A word that awakens her heart
혼자였던 yesterday
Yesterday when she was alone
셀 수 없는 시선에
Countless eyes on her
떨어지는 눈물로
Tears streaming down
하루를 또 견디고
Enduring another day
아슬했던 yesterday
Yesterday when things were dangerous
쏟아지던 말들에
Words that rained down
흔들리는 나를 또 감싸고
Embracing her as she wavers
새로워진 eyes 새로워진 eyes
Newly opened eyes, newly opened eyes
꽃잎은 저물고 힘겨웠던 난
As the petals fall and she struggled
작은 빛을 따라서
Following a small light
아득했던 날 저 멀리 보내고
Sending distant days far away
찬란하게 날아가
Flying brilliantly
Fly high, fly high
Fly high, fly high
난 나만의 beauty
I am my own beauty
눈 감은 순간 시간은 멈춰가
In the moment she closed her eyes, time stops
난 다시 떠올라
She thinks back again
My life is a beauty
Her life is beautiful

OMG, TAEYEON!!! But I really miss the old Taengoo. Antis really turned her into a silent person. She feels like she doesn't have the rights to be happy and carry all the burden on her shoulders for the whole group of SNSD and for all the things she does that are always used against her. I miss the old Taengoo.😣😭💛
