NCT U “Make A Wish (Birthday Song)” Lyrics

Hangul

Me you 우린 여길 떠나려 해
빨리 올라타 마음은 같은 곳에
겨우 그런 고민은 다음번에나 해
시간이 부족하잖아 so now we on our way

자유롭게 come join me
수면 위로 꿈을 펼쳐 보이지
시작됐어 영화 같은 스토리
I can do this all day 하루 종일

We got this 오늘도 여긴
우리가 차지해 100%
넘어가 다음 단계 higher mental
우린 이미 다른 차원 다른 level ya
Let’s start we gon’ fly
We won’t stop it’s alright

I can do this all day
Back it up back it up
서둘러 ‘hit that line’
시간 아까워 아까워 (you should)
필요 없어 no more sign ya
네가 어디에 있던 I can find ya
It’s gonna be alright
손을 맞대 make a wish

Hoo you should
Make a wish
I’ll take you anywhere
Make a wish
(Let me do it for you)

Never stop keep breaking out
Still working all the time

벗어나야 해 we gon’ fly away
눈 똑바로 뜨고서는 꿈을 (꿔)
각자 자리에서 우린 숨을 (쉬어)
우리 통한다면 너도 이미 (star)
(너도 이미 star)

지치지 않아 got no limit
심장은 쿵쿵 keep drumming
한통 다 부어버려 기름
I’m ready to ride 바로 지금
Let’s start we gon’ fly
We won’t stop it’s alright

I can do this all day
Back it up back it up
서둘러 ‘hit that line’
시간 아까워 아까워 (you should)
필요 없어 no more sign ya
네가 어디에 있던 I can find ya
It’s gonna be alright
손을 맞대 make a wish

너의 에너지 it links me up
(Links me up)
지금 이 기분을 느껴봐
(I’ll do it for you)
널 어디로든 데려가 줄 수 있어
(조금씩 너에게로 가)
걱정 말고 let go

손을 맞대 손을 맞대
손을 맞대 손을 맞대
Now make a wish
