NCT WISH “Songbird” Lyrics

Hangul

Wait a moment
흥얼거리는 melody
가벼워진 채
Going down, going down
맑게 물이 든 blue
열어 닫힌 문 너머 세상

날개를 펼쳐 더 높이 (저 하늘로)
단 한걸음에 jumping in your heart (Ah-yeah, ah-yeah)
네 어깨 위에서 보고 싶은 꿈
어디든 갈게 we fly

Let’s ride, 하늘을 넘어 fly up high (Ah, ah)
함께라면 갈 수 있어 anywhere
That’s right, 이 노랜 멈추지 않아
Sing the melody again, yeah

Yeah, dreaming big, dreaming big (Ah, ooh)
As you wish, as you wish, uh
기다려왔었던 show we just getting started
불어오는 바람을 타고 slip
여러 색으로 번진 beat
또 너와 내 목소리가 울려 퍼져 영원히
Yeah, 춤을 춰 밤이 새도록
With our song on repeat

기적은 있어 가까이 (어디든지)
꽉 쥔 두 손 안 keeping in your heart (Ah-yeah, ah-yeah)
네 어깨 위에서 보고 싶은 꿈
어디든 갈게 we fly

Let’s ride, 하늘을 넘어 fly up high (Ah, ah)
함께라면 갈 수 있어 anywhere
That’s right, 이 노랜 멈추지 않아 (Ah, ah, ah)
Sing the melody again now

Sing for you (Songbird, songbird)
Gimme some
(Hey, songbird, songbird)
Alright, alright, come on

생각하는 대로 이뤄지는 wish

언제라도 I’m on your side
흰 캔버스에 미래를 그려 봐
Just you and I 눈부시게
Let us shine, yeah
