단잠
NCT U Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
내리쬔 미소에 새로 꽃이 펴
왜 뛰노는 널 보면 볼수록
내 맘은 급해져
이렇게 쥔 작은 너의 손
이 밤이 영영 끝나지 않길
춤을 춰 널 안고 holdin' on
한 순간 눈을 떠
Uh 모든 게 다 꿈이었나 봐
너와 눈을 맞출 때 eh
더없이 행복했는데 uhm
난 어쩔 수가 없나 봐
Uh 내 맘은 다 텅 빈 것 같아
I want to make you stay uhm
이대로 계속 잠에 들래 huh
알잖아 꿈속에서만은 다
빛나던 memory
간직한 fantasy
I be living in a dream
모두 다 가능하니까 (I be living in a dream)
난 오늘도 널 찾아 (I be living in a dream)
이렇게 널 그리워하다
꿈에서 널 그리나 봐 난
나 혼자 저 멀리 띄우는 맘
이 밤이 영원해질 수 있길
꿈을 꿔 널 안고 holdin' on
깊숙이 새겨진 너의 흔적이
한순간 사라져
Uh 모든 게 다 꿈이었나 봐
너와 눈을 맞출 때 eh
더없이 행복했는데 uhm
난 어쩔 수가 없나 봐
Uh 내 맘은 다 텅 빈 것 같아
I want to make you stay uhm
이대로 계속 잠에 들래 huh
알잖아 꿈속에서만은 다
It was all about you, you, you
All 'bout you
It was all about you, you, you
All 'bout you
두 눈을 떠 on and on
다시 그릴래 벅차도록
Can't live without you
널 기다리며 꾼 그 꿈
가득 더 안고 싶은 you
Uh 모든 게 다 꿈이었나 봐
너와 눈을 맞출 때 eh (눈을 맞출 때)
더없이 행복했는데 uhm
난 어쩔 수가 없나 봐
Uh 내 맘은 다 텅 빈 것 같아
I want to make you stay uhm
이대로 계속 잠에 들래 huh
알잖아 꿈속에서만은 다
It was all about you, you, you
All 'bout you
It was all about you, you, you
All 'bout you

어느새 네 위로 쏟아지는 별
Suddenly, stars are pouring down on you, providing comfort
내리쬔 미소에 새로 꽃이 펴
As you smile, new flowers start to bloom
왜 뛰노는 널 보면 볼수록
The more I see you running, the faster my heart beats
내 맘은 급해져
My heart becomes restless
이렇게 쥔 작은 너의 손
Holding your small hand like this
이 밤이 영영 끝나지 않길
I hope this night never ends
춤을 춰 널 안고 holdin' on
Dancing with you and holding on tight
입술이 조금씩 더 가까워진
Our lips getting closer and closer
한 순간 눈을 떠
I suddenly open my eyes
Uh 모든 게 다 꿈이었나 봐
It seems like everything was just a dream
너와 눈을 맞출 때 eh
When I look into your eyes
더없이 행복했는데 uhm
I was so happy, but
난 어쩔 수가 없나 봐
I guess I couldn't help it
내 맘은 다 텅 빈 것 같아
My heart feels completely empty
I want to make you stay uhm
I want to make you stay with me
이대로 계속 잠에 들래 huh
I want to keep sleeping like this
알잖아 꿈속에서만은 다
You know that everything is only in a dream
빛나던 memory
Shiny memory
간직한 fantasy
Kept fantasy
I be living in a dream
I am living in a dream
모두 다 가능하니까 (I be living in a dream)
Because everything is possible (I am living in a dream)
난 오늘도 널 찾아 (I be living in a dream)
I am still looking for you today (I am living in a dream)
이렇게 널 그리워하다
Missing you like this
꿈에서 널 그리나 봐 난
Looks like I am drawing you in my dream
나 혼자 저 멀리 띄우는 맘
My heart is flying far away alone
이 밤이 영원해질 수 있길
I hope this night can last forever
꿈을 꿔 널 안고 holdin' on
Dreaming of holding you tight
깊숙이 새겨진 너의 흔적이
Your traces deeply engraved
한순간 사라져
Suddenly disappearing
It was all about you, you, you
It was all about you, you, you
두 눈을 떠 on and on
Opening my eyes on and on
다시 그릴래 벅차도록
I want to draw it again overwhelmingly
Can't live without you
I can't live without you
널 기다리며 꾼 그 꿈
The dream I dreamed while waiting for you
가득 더 안고 싶은 you
You who I want to hold even more tightly
All 'bout you
All about you

따니
천러 특유의 맑고 청량한 음색이 잘 나타날 수 있어서 너무 좋은 곡... 진짜 천러의 노래는 마음을 포근하고 간질간질하게 하는 매력이 있어.... 너무 소중해...
단잠은 멤버들 음색이 잘 드러나 너무 좋은 노래인 듯...
정재현도 되게 안정적임.... 후렴구 되게 좋음....
김정우 특유의 음색은 말로 표현도 못함...
정우 노래하는 모습 더 많이 보고 싶다...
