IRENE “Love Can Make A Way” Lyrics

Hangul

Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, love can make a way

분주했던 맘이
멈춰 하나둘씩
나답지 않게 더 깊숙이
잠겨버릴 듯해
오랜 일기 속에
먼지 쌓인 꿈들이
날 다시 떠오르게 해
또 다른 시작이 돼

여린 목소리
포근히 날 감싸
All my own
Let’s keep it all

아낌없이 사랑했어
오랜 날 내 안의 너를
늦지 않게 네게 닿을게
Just a little, just a little more
반짝이는 그 빛으로
환히 날 비춰줘

괜스레 슬퍼진 날엔
어린 내 기억을 꺼내
말을 하지 않아도 존재만으로
내게 용기를 건네
발이 엇갈린 채
몇 번을 넘어져도
숨차도록 온 힘을 다해
끝없이 달려올 너

잡은 두 손이
반짝인 두 눈이
I feel like this is my own
Let’s keep it all

아낌없이 사랑했어
오랜 날 내 안의 너를
늦지 않게 네게 닿을게

날 이끄는 목소리
위로가 된 한마디
늦어버린 timing
커버린 이제야 깨달아 (이젠 알아)
용기 내 한 걸음
고맙다고 네게 전할래
매 순간 함께 나란히 곁에
(Always stay, always stay)

너로 인해 선명해져
Yeah, love can make a way
(Love can make)
Let’s keep it all

너로 인해 선명해져
(We’re gonna shine, we’re gonna shine bright)
고마워 네게 (I’m gonna love, I’m gonna love you more)
세상 가장 사랑해 널

Whenever I get lost (Whenever I get lost)
너란 빛이 내게 번져
날 더 빛나게 해

Romanized

Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, love can make a way

Bunjuhaetdeon mami

Just a little, just a little more

Translation

Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, love can make a way

My busy, restless heart
Stops, piece by piece
Unlike my usual self, I feel like
I’m sinking deeper and deeper
Inside an old diary
Dreams covered in dust
Make me rise to the surface again
And become another beginning

A tender voice
Embraces me warmly
All my own
Let’s keep it all

I’ve loved you without reserve
For a long time, the “you” inside of me
I’ll reach you before it’s too late
Just a little, just a little more
With that sparkling light
Shine on me brightly

On days I feel sad for no reason
I take out my childhood memories
Even without words, your mere existence
Gives me courage
Even if my steps get tangled
And I fall down several times
You will run to me endlessly
With all your strength until you’re out of breath

Our two hands held tight
Our two eyes sparkling
I feel like this is my own
Let’s keep it all

I’ve loved you without reserve
For a long time, the “you” inside of me
I’ll reach you before it’s too late

The voice that leads me
The single word that became my comfort
The delayed timing
Only now that I’ve grown have I realized (I know now)
Taking a courageous step
I want to tell you “Thank you”
To be by your side, side-by-side every moment
(Always stay, always stay)

Because of you, everything becomes clear
Yeah, love can make a way
(Love can make)
Let’s keep it all

Because of you, everything becomes clear
(We’re gonna shine, we’re gonna shine bright)
Thank you (I’m gonna love, I’m gonna love you more)
I love you most in all the world

Whenever I get lost (Whenever I get lost)
The light that is “you” spreads through me
Making me shine even brighter
