Hearts2Hearts “Butterflies” Lyrics

Hangul

살랑이는 바람이
맘을 두드려 와
파랗게 물든 저 하늘 아래
마주 본 너와 나
두 팔을 펼치고 달린 순간
마치 세상이 문을 열 듯이
활짝 펼쳐져 와

1, 2, 3 맘을 따라가
4, 5, 6 여긴 어딜까
상상보다 더 어지러워 난

낯선 장면 속
처음 느낀 설렘과
들려와
날 이끈 목소리가 Oh
왠지 익숙한 듯한 눈빛과
마주친 그 순간
아득한
꿈에 닿을 너와 나
너와 나

괜히 들뜬 듯해
설렘이란 마법
[Ji/A] 불안함은 그새
[Ji/A] 날아간 것처럼
더 이상 꿈이 아닌 것 같아
늘 푸른 빛의 계절도
It’s evergreen
난 어쩐지 손에 닿을 듯해

1, 2, 3 번져가는 맘
4, 5, 6 우린 어딜까
눈부시게 핀 꽃이 가득한

낯선 장면 속
처음 느낀 설렘과
들려와
날 이끈 목소리가 Oh
왠지 익숙한 듯한 눈빛과
마주친 그 순간
아득한
꿈에 닿을 너와 나
너와 나

네 포근한 온기도
반짝인 눈빛도
일렁여 꿈결처럼 (꿈결처럼)
흩날린 꽃잎 속 (지금 여기)
우리의 마음은
춤추듯 날아올라

낯선 장면 속
새로운 멜로디와
쌓여가
너와 내 하모니가 Oh
오랜 기다림 너머 오늘을
마주한 그 순간
들려와
우리만의 노래가
노래가

Translation

The gentle wind knocks on my heart
You and I face each other under that blue sky
The moment I spread my arms and ran
It’s like the world is opening a door and spreading out

(One, two, three) Follow your heart, yeah

(Four, five, six) Where is this
I’m more dizzy than I imagined

In an unfamiliar scene
The excitement I felt for the first time
And the voice that led me, oh
Somehow the eyes that seemed familiar
And the moment we met (Oh)
You and I, you and I, reaching a distant dream

I feel excited for no reason The magic of excitement (Oh, yeah)
The anxiety seems to have flown away (Oh, yeah)
It doesn’t seem like a dream anymore The season of evergreen
It’s evergreen, somehow I have it in my hands It’s almost touching (Hey, yeah)

(One, two, three) Follow your heart (One, two, three, yeah)
(Four, five, six) Where is this place (Ooh)
Full of dazzlingly blooming flowers (Ooh, yeah)

In an unfamiliar scene
The excitement I felt for the first time

And the voice that led me, oh (No, no, oh)
Somehow familiar eyes
And the moment we met
You and I, you and I, reaching a distant (distant) dream

Your warm warmth and sparkling eyes
Sway like a dream (like a dream)
Hmm, in the scattered flower petals (right here), our hearts
Fly up like a dance (Ooh-woah)

In an unfamiliar scene (??)
And a new melody (Oh)
And your harmony builds up, oh-oh, woah (No, no, woah)
After a long wait, today
The moment we face it (Gan)
Come on, our song, our song (Woo, yeah)

Its mid-tempo rhythm enhances the song’s emotional depth, making it a striking contrast to the bold energy of the title track, “The Chase.” While “The Chase” embodies ambition and adventure, “Butterflies” offers a softer, more introspective side to Hearts2Hearts’ debut, highlighting their ability to convey a wide range of emotions. Through this track, the group invites listeners to cherish fleeting moments, embrace change with an open heart, and find beauty in the journey ahead.
