Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eh, ayy
아름다워 너의 모습 너의 생각
너의 사소한 그 모든 걸 동경해 난
넌 완벽한 것 같아
또 날 작아지게 만들어
너의 미소에 숨죽여
난 항상 여기 있어 woo
But I would never give up
내 맘이 그냥 그래
넌 언제 간 내 품에 안겨
이 노래에 춤을 출 거야
'Cause I know you will
'Cause I know we will
내 마음은 바람을 타고
너에게 전해질 거야
We're slow dancing under
We're slow dancing under
Moonlight, moonlight, moonlight
너를 떠 올리면 하루 종일 내 기분은
Up and down, down, down
어느새 내 마음에 깜깜한 먹구름이 껴
I feel low, low, low (yeah)
It's so irony that 너가 내 햇빛과 어둠이
된다는 게 this love is so crazy
This love has been crazy, ah
But I would never give up
내 맘이 그냥 그래
넌 언제 간 내 품에 안겨
이 노래에 춤을 출 거야
'Cause I know you will
'Cause I know we will
내 마음은 바람을 타고
너에게 전해질 거야
We're slow dancing under
We're slow dancing under
Moonlight, moonlight, moonlight
I don't really need anything but you
이 노래가 꼭 너에게 닿길 기도해
바라는 건 너무 많이 있지만
I just want you to know
I just want you to know that
넌 언제 간 내 품에 안겨
이 노래에 춤을 출 거야
'Cause I know you will
'Cause I know we will
내 마음은 바람을 타고
너에게 전해질 거야
We're slow dancing under
We're slow dancing under
Moonlight, moonlight, moonlight
The song "Moonlight" by Youngjae revolves around the theme of adoration and unwavering devotion towards someone. The lyrics talk about how the singer is captivated by the beauty of their subject and their every little movement and thought fills him with admiration. He expresses his willingness to take a back seat in their realm of perfection and bask in the glory of their excellence. The line, "넌 완벽한 것 같아, 또 날 작아지게 만들어," translates to "You seem perfect, and it makes me feel small."
The chorus is repetitive in nature and talks about slow dancing under the moonlight while the singer conveys his feelings towards this person. The lines, "'Cause I know you will, 'Cause I know we will, 내 마음은 바람을 타고 너에게 전해질 거야," translates to "Because I know that we will, my heart will ride the wind and reach you." The song's bridge talks about the bittersweet feelings of missing someone and the impact they have on the singer's mood. He prays that this song reaches the person he adores and lets them know how he feels.
