그댈 처음 만났죠
낯설은 떨림과 두려운 설렘들이 뒤섞이던 날
이제서야 말해요
나 많이 겁이 났었죠
어쩌면 그때가 마지막이라고 생각했었기에
서툰 날 가슴에 품어주었던
못난 날 기꺼이 안아주었던
왼쪽 가슴에 새길게요 영원히
약속해요 잊지 않겠다고
날 다시 태어나게 해준 널
I promise you, I promise you
내가 더 많이 더 잘할게요
약속해요 놓지 않겠다고
내게 빛이 되어준 그댈
I promise you, I promise you
빛나던 봄날 앞에
약속해요
단 하나라도 내 편이
되어주길 바랬던 그때
세상이 날 속여도
너만은 날 믿어줬었지
피지 못한 꽃처럼
시들 수도 있던 날
알아봐 줬던 너니까
흔들리던 날 잡아준 너니까 oh
새삼스레 하루하루가 너무나 소중해
선물 같은 나날 매 매일이 기념일 같애
태양에 안겨버린 달처럼 너무 예쁘게
어떤 빛보다 더 반짝여 영원히 (영원히, 영원히)
약속해요 잊지 않겠다고
날 다시 태어나게 해준 널
I promise you, I promise you
빛나던 봄날 앞에
약속해요
몇 번의 계절이 스치고
시간이 우리를 지나가도
처음의 우리를 잊지 말아요
I promise you, babe 기억해요
나조차도 몰랐던
나를 알아봐 줬던
그대가 있어 지금의 내가 있단 걸
걱정 마 I remember
영원히 I remember
Forever and ever, I promise you
약속해요 변치 않겠다고
지금 이대로 삶의 끝까지
I promise you, I promise you
빛나던 봄날 앞에
I promise you
Uh oh oh oh oh
Uh oh oh oh oh
I promise you
Uh oh oh oh oh
Uh oh oh oh oh
그대 앞에 나
약속해요
The lyrics of WANNA ONE’s song I Promise You speaks about remembering the day when they first met in the season of cherry blossoms. The day was filled with unfamiliar nervousness and scary excitement. The singer admits being scared and even thought that that day might be their last meeting, perhaps because of the nervousness they were feeling. However, the other person held them in their chest and hugged them tightly, with the singer still able to remember their gaze until today. The singer promises to remember that moment forever.
The chorus of the song speaks about promising to never forget the person who made them feel reborn and brought light into their life. The singer promises to do better and be a better person for that person. They promise to hold onto that person and never let them go, always shining brightly and making the memories they share together special. The lyrics also mention that even when the world deceives them, the person they love has always believed in them.
Overall, the song is about cherishing and promising to hold onto the memories and the person that makes life special. It’s about gratitude and love for the person who has always been there for you through the ups and downs.

벚꽃이 떨어지던 날
The day when cherry blossoms were falling
그댈 처음 만났죠
The day when I first met you
낯설은 떨림과 두려운 설렘들이 뒤섞이던 날
The day when I was nervous and scared because of the unfamiliar feelings that were mixed with excitement
이제서야 말해요
Now, I finally say it
나 많이 겁이 났었죠
I was very scared
어쩌면 그때가 마지막이라고 생각했었기에
Because I thought that moment could be the last one
서툰 날 가슴에 품어주었던
You held me in your arms when I was inexperienced
못난 날 기꺼이 안아주었던
You willingly hugged me even when I was not perfect
그대 눈빛을 아직도 기억해요 나
I still remember your eyes even now
왼쪽 가슴에 새길게요 영원히
I will engrave it in my left chest forever
약속해요 잊지 않겠다고
I promise that I won't forget
날 다시 태어나게 해준 널
You made me feel alive again
I promise you, I promise you
I promise you, I promise you
내가 더 많이 더 잘할게요
I will try to do better and more
약속해요 놓지 않겠다고
I promise that I won't let go
내게 빛이 되어준 그댈
You became my light
빛나던 봄날 앞에
In front of the shining spring day
단 하나라도 내 편이
I hoped that you would be on my side even though it's just you
되어주길 바랬던 그때
That's what I wished for at the time
세상이 날 속여도
Even if the world deceived me
너만은 날 믿어줬었지
You were the only one who believed in me
피지 못한 꽃처럼
Like a flower that cannot bloom
시들 수도 있던 날
Even when I could have withered
알아봐 줬던 너니까
Because you recognized me
흔들리던 날 잡아준 너니까 oh
You held me when I was shaking, oh
새삼스레 하루하루가 너무나 소중해
Every single day becomes so precious
선물 같은 나날 매 매일이 기념일 같애
Every day feels like a special occasion
태양에 안겨버린 달처럼 너무 예쁘게
As beautiful as the moon wrapped in sunlight
어떤 빛보다 더 반짝여 영원히 (영원히, 영원히)
It shines brighter than any other light, forever (forever, forever)
몇 번의 계절이 스치고
Several seasons have passed
시간이 우리를 지나가도
Even when time passes by us
처음의 우리를 잊지 말아요
Don't forget our first moments
I promise you, babe 기억해요
I promise you, babe, remember
나조차도 몰랐던
Even I didn't know
나를 알아봐 줬던
But you recognized me
그대가 있어 지금의 내가 있단 걸
It's because of you that I am who I am now
걱정 마 I remember
Don't worry, I remember
영원히 I remember
Forever, I remember
Forever and ever, I promise you
Forever and ever, I promise you
약속해요 변치 않겠다고
I promise that I won't change
지금 이대로 삶의 끝까지
Until the end of life, just like this
I promise you, I promise you
I promise you, I promise you
빛나던 봄날 앞에
In front of the shining spring day
I promise you
I promise you
Uh oh oh oh oh
Uh oh oh oh oh
그대 앞에 나
I stand in front of you
약속해요
I promise you
