NCT 2023 “Golden Age” Lyrics

Hangul

Uh

더 멀리 갈까 더 많이 더 높이 쌓을까
나누던 꿈과 별처럼 흐르던 시간
뭐든 말해봐 I send and deliver
So watch me watch me watch me 우리
Sketch for the future
언제나 흑백인 꿈에 너라는 물감을 칠해
Pop like a picture 눈앞에 펼쳐
4차원 이상의 그림
You be like yeah, I be like there
네가 날 상상한 대로 탄성이
Wow wow wow
터질 수 있게 Like that

내가 뭘 원하는지
눈을 감고 다시 생각해
Your touch is all I need
수많은 길 중에
(A million thousand ways)

내 길을 걸을게 (네가 비춰주는)
I, I will keep my promise

펼쳐진 Golden age, our age
지금 우리 Oh ooh uh
이 소중한 순간은 바래지 않으니
I’ll give you all of me yeah all of me
I’ll never leave

긴 꿈의 Page에
그려지는 Starry way
Fantastic, so classic
이 황금빛의 New wave

I be up, I be down
헤엄쳐 너와 나
끝이 없는 별의 바다
다시 숨을 고르고 Dive
온몸 번지는 반짝임
힘껏 당기는 Gravity
여기 무대 위 Fly with me
날 움직여
Into the new world

내가 뭘 원하는지
눈을 감고 다시 생각해
Your touch is all I need
수많은 길 중에
(A million thousand ways)

네 곁을 걸을게 (너만 원한다면)
I, I will keep my promise

펼쳐진 Golden age, our age
지금 우리 Oh ooh uh
네 곁에 있을게
I’ll give you all of me yeah all of me
I’ll never leave
