NCT WISH “Tears Are Falling” Lyrics

Hangul

귀를 기울일 때마다
너의 목소리가 들리니까
That’s why I love
When tears are falling

I don’t wanna give it up
하나만을 바라왔던 days
괴로워진 맘에
하늘만 바라볼 때
혼자가 아니야
마음속에 떠오르는 voice, yeah
넌 노래하는 듯이
내 맘을 어루만져와

이젠 말할 수 있어 ’cause I’ll be with you
그 어떤 불안도 지금 너와
Listen to my sweet heartbeat
바꿔나갈 테니까

귀를 기울일 때마다
나의 목소리가 들리니까
That’s why you laugh
When tears are falling
다가올 그 어떤 날도
사랑할 수 있는 우리니까
That’s why I love
When tears are falling

Story in my dream
드디어 너를 만났던 one day
손에 가득한 꽃다발을 건넨 나
넘칠 듯한 고마웠던 맘
떨어진 눈물의 수만큼 가득 피어나

이젠 말할 수 있어 ’cause I’ll be with you
그 어떤 불안도 지금 너와
Listen to my sweet heartbeat
바꿔나갈 테니까

귀를 기울일 때마다
나의 목소리가 들리니까
That’s why you laugh
When tears are falling
다가올 그 어떤 날도
사랑할 수 있는 우리니까
That’s why I love
When tears are falling

Oh, 멀게만 느껴졌던
Pale blue sky
달려봐도 I’m alone
보이지 않아
작아지는 자신
Day and night routine
날지 못한 bird
밀려드는 bad feeling
그렇대도 “Wake up”
들려오는 phrase
나만의 답 make up
너의 목소리
그래서 I think of you
이제 난 I sing for you
Humming, humming, humming
Humming, now I fly so high
And I’m gonna find out you
(Oh, yeah)

Call me if you’re lonely
Call me if you’re lonely
Hold you by my humming
Hold you by my humming
Always I’m your side when tears are falling
Call me If you’re lonely
Call me If you’re lonely
Hold you by my humming
Hold you by my humming
Always I’m your side when tears are falling

Translation

Every single time I lean in close to listen,
Because I can hear the sound of your voice echoing,
That’s why I love
When tears are falling

I don’t wanna give it up
The endless days where I wished for just one single thing
When my heart grew so heavy and agonized
That I could do nothing but stare up at the sky,
I realized I wasn’t alone
The voice that suddenly rises up inside my heart, yeah
As if you are singing a song,
You gently reach out and soothe my wounded mind

Now I can finally say it, ’cause I’ll be with you
No matter what kind of anxiety tries to find us, right now, with you
Listen to my sweet heartbeat
Because I am going to change it all for the better

Every single time you lean in close to listen,
Because you can hear the sound of my voice echoing,
That’s why you laugh
When tears are falling
Because we are the kind of “us” who can learn to love
Absolutely any day that comes our way in the future,
That’s why I love
When tears are falling

Story in my dream
The one day where I finally, truly met you
The version of me handing over a bouquet overflowing in my hands
My heart was so full of boundless gratitude;
Flowers bloom completely to the brim, matching the exact number of fallen tears

Now I can finally say it, ’cause I’ll be with you
No matter what kind of anxiety tries to find us, right now, with you
Listen to my sweet heartbeat
Because I am going to change it all for the better

Every single time you lean in close to listen,
Because you can hear the sound of my voice echoing,
That’s why you laugh
When tears are falling
Because we are the kind of “us” who can learn to love
Absolutely any day that comes our way in the future,
That’s why I love
When tears are falling

Oh, the sky that used to feel so impossibly distant
That pale blue sky
Even when I sprinted with all my might, I’m alone
I couldn’t see anything ahead
A version of myself shrinking smaller and smaller,
The endless day and night routine
A bird that forgot how to fly,
A sudden, rushing wave of a bad feeling
But even if that’s the case, a voice calls out, “Wake up”
A phrase that comes drifting into my ears
I make up my very own answer
It’s your voice
And that’s exactly why I think of you
Now, I sing for you
Humming, humming, humming
Humming, now I fly so high
And I’m gonna find out you
(Oh, yeah)

Call me if you’re lonely
Call me if you’re lonely
Hold you by my humming
Hold you by my humming
Always I’m your side when tears are falling
Call me If you’re lonely
Call me If you’re lonely
Hold you by my humming
Hold you by my humming
Always I’m your side when tears are falling
