Red Velvet “Sweet Dreams” Lyrics

Hangul

Ah
Yeah, yeah

호기심 많던 아이의 책장 속
깊은 새벽 모두 잠들면
다시 눈 뜨지 (Wake up, wake up)
꿈 많던 나의 작은 friend (Friend)
시간이 가도 여전해 (해)
세상은 참 많은 게 변했지만

When the moon shines bright
너의 하룰 들려줘
밤을 새워도 좋아 my love
어릴 적 그때처럼 talk

훌쩍 자라버린 아이야
나와 함께 놀자
I’m your, I’m your, I’m your friend, I-I-I’ll be there
반짝 낯선 저 별 너머
손을 잡고 달려
I’ma, I’ma, I’ma go a-a-anywhere

Na-na-na-na-na
오늘 밤 너와 나
다시 또 만나 (Oh, woah)

푸른 새벽이 다가오는 이 밤
네게 인사해, “Sweet dreams, my love”
꿈에서도 이야기는 계속돼 (계속돼; Ah)
저 달보다 커 보였던 carousel (Carousel)
어느샌가 불이 꺼진 our theme park (Yeah)
화려한 parade, ah (다시 가볼까?)

When the moon shines bright (Yeah)
내 얘길 들려줄게 (Ah, 들려줄게)
눈을 감고 기대봐 my love
시간을 되돌아가
Some days (You’re the king, you’re the hero)
Some nights (Some nights; I’m the queen, I’m the baddest)
Tonight (우리가 만든 kingdom)
영원히 지켜줄게 so (So)

훌쩍 자라버린 아이야 (Yeah)
나와 함께 놀자
I’m your, I’m your, I’m your friend, I-I-I’ll be there (I’ll be there)
반짝 낯선 저 별 너머
손을 잡고 달려 (손을 잡고 달려)
I’ma, I’ma, I’ma go a-a-anywhere (Anywhere)

Na-na-na-na-na (Na-na-na-na-na)
오늘 밤 너와 나 (오늘 밤 너와 나)
다시 또 만나

언제나 우린 어리고 fearless
둘이서 그린 세상은 cosmic, 눈부신 planet
알지? 변하는 건 없어, 해가 떠올라도
같은 꿈을 꾸는, 우린 함께인 걸, ah-ah, ah-ah (Ah)

잘 자 영원한 내 아이야 (Yeah)
너의 모든 순간
I’m, I’m, I’m with you (Here we go, here we go)
A-a-all night long
멈춘 시곗바늘 너머 (Yeah)
긴 여름밤을 달려 (Oh)
We are gonna, gonna go a-a-anywhere (Anywhere)

Na-na-na-na-na (Na-na-na-na-na)
매일 밤 너와 나 (매일 밤 너와 나; Oh)
다시 또 만나

Translation

Ah
Yeah, yeah

Inside the bookshelf of a curious child
In the deep dawn, when everyone falls asleep
It opens its eyes again (Wake up, wake up)
My small friend full of dreams (Friend)
Even as time passes, it’s still the same (Same)
Though the world has changed so much

When the moon shines bright
Tell me about your day
I don’t mind staying up all night, my love
Let’s talk just like back when we were young

Child who has grown up so fast
Come play with me
I’m your, I’m your, I’m your friend, I-I-I’ll be there
Beyond that twinkling, unfamiliar star
Hold my hand and run
I’ma, I’ma, I’ma go a-a-anywhere

Na-na-na-na-na
Tonight, you and I
Meet once again (Oh, woah)

This night as the blue dawn approaches
I say goodbye to you, “Sweet dreams, my love”
Even in dreams, the story continues (Continues; Ah)
The carousel that used to look bigger than that moon (Carousel)
Before we knew it, the lights went out in our theme park (Yeah)
The magnificent parade, ah (Shall we go back again?)

When the moon shines bright (Yeah)
I’ll tell you my story (Ah, I’ll tell you)
Close your eyes and lean on me, my love
Turn back time
Some days (You’re the king, you’re the hero)
Some nights (Some nights; I’m the queen, I’m the baddest)
Tonight (The kingdom we built)
I will protect it forever, so (So)

Child who has grown up so fast (Yeah)
Come play with me
I’m your, I’m your, I’m your friend, I-I-I’ll be there (I’ll be there)
Beyond that twinkling, unfamiliar star
Hold my hand and run (Hold my hand and run)
I’ma, I’ma, I’ma go a-a-anywhere (Anywhere)

Na-na-na-na-na (Na-na-na-na-na)
Tonight, you and I (Tonight, you and I)
Meet once again

We are always young and fearless
The world we drew together is cosmic, a dazzling planet
You know, right? Nothing changes, even if the sun rises
Dreaming the same dream, we are together, ah-ah, ah-ah (Ah)

Good night, my forever child (Yeah)
Every moment of yours
I’m, I’m, I’m with you (Here we go, here we go)
A-a-all night long
Beyond the stopped clock hands (Yeah)
Run through the long summer night (Oh)
We are gonna, gonna go a-a-anywhere (Anywhere)

Na-na-na-na-na (Na-na-na-na-na)
Every night, you and I (Every night, you and I; Oh)
Meet once again
