Star
Jessi Lyrics

Everyday I see the stars
I am grateful for the things that are constant in my life, just like the stars that shine every day.

Shining bright into my life
These things bring light and positivity into my otherwise busy and sometimes difficult life.

Oh yeah, oh yeah
These moments bring me joy and make me feel alive.

Fought this battle on my own
I have overcome many difficult situations alone.

Found my strength in love I feel
The support of loved ones has been crucial in giving me the strength to keep going.

Everything I do is real for you
I do what I do for the people I care about.

Uh yeah 애초에 짜인 plan 따윈 없었지
From the beginning, I didn't have a set plan for my life.

내 뛰는 심장이 쓴 대본 대로 해
I have lived my life following my heart and doing what feels right.

난 몰라 뭐가 있는지 저 언덕 뒤엔
I don't know what lies beyond that hill.

가보면 알아 난 그냥 걸었지
I'll find out what it is when I get there, but for now I just keep walking forward.

날 첨 발견한 교회 합창단
I discovered my love for singing in a church choir.

피아노 치며 노래하던 11살
I started playing the piano and singing at the age of 11.

Ma mama said one day you gonna be a star
My mother told me that one day I would be successful.

내게 필요했던 건 단지 그 한마디
What I needed most was her encouragement.

떠나 보금자리 꿈 한 다발 어깨에 메고
I left my hometown with a bundle of dreams on my shoulders.

건너 태평양을 열다섯에 용기 내어
At the age of fifteen, I crossed the Pacific with courage.

멀리 온 이곳은 내 부모님의 home
This faraway place is my parents' home.

온도에 비해 좀 얇았던 내 옷
Compared to the temperature, my clothes were a little thin.

무더운 어느 여름 서울 밤은 차
One hot summer, the night in Seoul was cool.

방에 혼자 누워 난 물어 여긴 어딜까
Alone in my room, I wondered where I was.

Uh 내 진심 어린 거짓말
I was lying to myself.

잘 지내 엄마 걱정 마 don't worry ma
But I told my mom not to worry and that I was doing well.

Yeah 바뀐 환경 모든 게 다 처음
Everything in my new environment was new to me.

지금 보다 훨씬 서툴렀던 한국어
My Korean wasn't as good as it is now.

낯설어 날 더 낯설어 하는 너
Even you found me unfamiliar and strange at first.

그래도 난 허리 펴고 걸어 나처럼
But I still walked with my head held high, just like always.

탄 내 피부 탈색 머리 대조되지
My tanned skin and bleached hair contrasted with each other.

더 빛나지 동그라미 금빛 링 귀걸인
The gold circle ring and earrings shone even brighter.

직접 찢은 내 청바지 이건 내 design
The ripped jeans were my own design.

못 떨어 가식 없지 버르장머리
I don't pretend to be anything other than myself with my messy hair.

You could blame it on the CDs my brother bought me
My brother's music taste influenced me a lot.

Lauryn Hill 윤미래 and the new Ashanti
I listened to Lauryn Hill, Yoonmirae, and Ashanti's music a lot.

Uh road to success but my vision foggy
I was on the road to success, but I wasn't entirely sure where I was going.

그때 오빠가 바꿔줬지 흐린 날씨
My older brother changed the weather for me at that time.

아빠가 사준 첫차 타고 여기까지 왔지
My dad bought me my first car and that helped me get to where I am now.

많은 실수도 있었지 알아 완벽하진 않지
I made a lot of mistakes, and I know I'm not perfect.

Uh 나 다시 되돌아가더라도
Even if I could go back, I wouldn't change anything.

I'll never change (never change), this is Jessi everyday
I won't change who I am, this is me every day.

Love if you love
I will love you if you love me.

I'ma love if you don't
I will love you even if you don't love me.

I'ma love if you won't
I will love you even if you refuse to love me.

I'ma love, I'ma love when I see you
I will continue to love you when I see you again.
