Black Pearl
EXO/EXO-M Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's my black pearl
지도는 필요 없어
내 맘이 널 가리켜
갈 길이 험난해도
이쯤에서 그렇겐 못한다
한 시도 떨어져
저 멀리 수평선 끝에
너의 모습을 볼 수 있다면
난 돛을 올려 끝까지
바람에 날 싣고
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
거칠어진 수면의 요동을 재워
어둠 속에 핀 꽃 바다 위에 뜬 달
비밀 같은 그곳 My beautiful black pearl
어둠 속에 핀 꽃 바다 위에 뜬 달
비밀 같은 그곳 My beautiful black pearl
실재하긴 하는 건지
현실과는 동떨어진
꿈과 이상 속을 헤매고 있나
신화 속에 살 것만 같은
Oh 나의 여신아 (Go go go go)
시간을 헤치고 널 찾아가
영원한 것들은
믿어 본 적이 없는데
그토록 간절하게나 바래 왔던
널 닿게 된다면
난 돛을 올려 끝까지
바람에 날 싣고
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
거칠어진 수면의 요동을 재워
어둠 속에 핀 꽃 바다 위에 뜬 달
비밀 같은 그곳 My beautiful black pearl
어둠 속에 핀 꽃 바다 위에 뜬 달
비밀 같은 그곳 My beautiful black pearl
폭풍이 몰아치는 아찔한 순간에도
뱃머릴 돌리지 마 항해를 멈추지 마
이 정도에 겁을 먹고 물러날 줄 알았다면 시작조차 하지 않았다
너를 감춰 놓은 바다의 장난엔 기꺼이 내가 맞서 준다
거칠어진 수면의 요동을 재워
거칠어진 수면의 요동을 재워
거칠어진 수면의 요동을 재워 재워 재재재워
She's my black pearl
난 하늘에 뜬 태양과
(She is my black pearl) 다섯 개의 대양
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (No oh oh oh)
찬란하게 빛나는 그녀를 향해
짙은 안개 속에 (Whoa) 높은 파도 위에 (Whoa)
흐릿하게 비친 My beautiful black pearl (she's my beautiful black pearl yeah)
깊은 침묵 속에 (Whoa) 슬픈 선율 위에 (Hey)
희미하게 들린 My beautiful black pearl (She's my beautiful beautiful black pearl)

Probably my favorite lyrics to any song ever~
Flowers bloom in the dark
The sun suspended in the sky
The infinite blue of the ocean
In the dense fog
In this sad song
That mysterious place
My beautiful black pearl
Those were my favorite lines
@yeet-mm9ds
So basically in this song,
EXO had a girl they loved that they lost at sea during a horrible storm, and now they've spent a long time at sea trying to find her
The gentle verses represent the sea when it's calm and the chorus represents slight turbulence during their journey. Kris/Tao's rap represents the strong storm which wrecks EXO'S ship, but they keep on going
Except their Black Pearl had died at sea, and they are going to die, too, because of the storm, just like their Black Pearl did (which is why they can faintly see her as they are about to join her in death), but their sad story and hopeful journey lives on in this song
But another interpretation past the rap part / final storm is that they finally have found her, since the night has turned to day (symbolizing new beginnings --"the sun suspended in the sky"), and they will be together again :D
(These are my thoughts though, what do you guys think how this song ends?)

she's my black pearl
she's my black pearl
不用地圖做嚮導
心會把方向找到
不在乎路途前方
多少崎嶇
沿路多少阻擋
我的心 沒有一刻與你分離 將你忘記
若可以 在那一條遙遠海平線上
發現你模樣
我揚起帆一路遠航
駕馭風直到盡頭
woah oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
讓洶湧的海面也安靜溫柔
花黑暗裡開放
海面一輪月光
那神祕的地方
my beautiful black pearl
花黑暗裡開放
海面一輪月光
那神祕的地方
my beautiful black pearl
是現實亦或虛幻
我感覺不可思議
是否一直身在夢境裡環遊
你宛若在 傳說的所在 像神話之中
在時光裡追尋你的影蹤
我不曾
相信這世界存在所謂永恆
為了你
日夜思念的你當我觸及你那一瞬間
我揚起帆一路遠航
駕馭風直到盡頭
woah oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
讓洶湧的海面也安靜溫柔
花黑暗裡開放
海面一輪月光
那神祕的地方
my beautiful black pearl
花黑暗裡開放
海面一輪月光
那神祕的地方
my beautiful black pearl
當風暴突然襲來危險在咆哮
不要把航向顛倒
不要讓行進停掉
如果這就害怕退縮就連開始都沒做到
沒關係還有我替你擋
就算大海把你藏起來這惡劣玩笑
為你我願意接招
讓洶湧的海面也安靜溫柔
讓洶湧的海面也安靜溫柔
讓洶湧的海面也安靜溫柔
she's my black pearl
oh懸浮天空的太陽(she's my black pearl)
無限湛藍的海洋
woah oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh(no oh oh oh)
向著她那美麗耀眼的光芒
在濃密的霧障
在澎湃的海浪
投應模糊形狀 my beautiful black pearl
在深邃的沉默
在這哀傷的歌
隱約還在迴盪
she's my beautiful beautiful black pearl
