it’s a deep blue sky

Saeppalgan maeuminde
but it’s a deep red heart

Anya anya

Bokjaphae neoraneun saram ttaeme

Matji matji na geureon geo matji

Sesang modeun bitdeuri ssodajin geoya

Tto museun iri ireonalji algo sipeunde
i want to know what else will happen

Jeogi haeya haeya
sun, sun, over there

Neoreul bwaya bwaya
i have to see you, see you

Naega bulhwaksilhan miraemajeo
even my uncertain future

Jogeumssik deo gakkawojyeo
gets a little closer

Jabeuryeo halsurok
the more i try to catch you

Meoreojigo isseo
you are getting farther away

Jantteuk geobi naseo naseo

Gidarigo isseulge
i’ll be waiting

Taneun simjangi beotiji mothae
my burning heart can’t hold on

Nareul jeonbu da bonaelge

Geuraeya nega tteooreul su itge hae

The song captures the fear, longing, and emotional turbulence of chasing someone who feels close yet unreachable. She compares the person to the rising sun—something she desperately wants to grasp but slips away as she reaches out. Despite uncertainty and hesitation, she keeps waiting, hoping the light of that person will finally break through her darkness.
