SF9 “Love Comes Slowly” Lyrics
Hangul
사랑은 언제나 불꽃인 줄 알았어
온몸을 집어삼키는 감정이라고 믿었어
처음엔
사랑일 리 없다 했어
At first, I was lost, now found
You keep me safe and sound, yeah
서로의 일상이 되어 가 자연스레
한 걸음, 한 걸음 천천히
Sometimes the love comes slowly
Nothing but you I’m wanting
잔잔하게 내 가슴속에 내려
한 방울, 한 방울 조금씩
스며들어 그거 아니?
어느덧 넌 내게 그래 (Oh)
내 곁에 있어 줄래
Always ’cause I know that love comes slowly
조금씩 너를 배우고 내 하루에 스며 가
말하지 않아도 느껴져 네 마음은 떠가
불안했던 내가 이제는 네 곁인 거라
사랑은 급히 오지 않아도 가끔 내려와
First I was lost, now found
You keep me safe and sound
It’s gonna take some time
한 걸음, 한 걸음 천천히 (Yeah)
Sometimes the love comes slowly
Nothing but you I’m wanting
잔잔하게 내 가슴속에 내려 (Yeah, yeah)
한 방울, 한 방울 조금씩
스며들어 그거 아니?
어느덧 넌 내게 그래 (Oh)
내 곁에 있어 줄래
Always ’cause I know that love comes slowly
Ooh
Ooh, oh-oh, yeah
우리 사랑이 영원하길
바라고 바라 봐, 그리고 그려 봐
둘의 사랑이 오래도록
Always ’cause I know that love comes slowly

Translation
I thought love was a spark
An emotion that consumes me
At first, I said it couldn’t be love
At first, I was lost, now found
You keep me safe and sound, yeah
Seeping into each other’s daily lives
One step, and another, slowly
Sometimes the love comes slowly
Nothing but you I’m wanting
Calmly falling deep into my heart
One drop, and another, little by little
Seeping in, you know what?
You became something to me (Oh)
Will you stay by my side
Always ’cause I know that love comes slowly
Learning about you little by little, you seep into my day
I can feel it without words, your heart drifting to me
No more anxiety, now I’m by your side
Love doesn’t have to rush; sometimes it just falls down
First I was lost, now found
You keep me safe and sound
It’s gonna take some time
One step, and another, slowly (Yeah)
Sometimes the love comes slowly
Nothing but you I’m wanting
Calmly falling deep into my heart (Yeah, yeah)
One drop, and another, little by little
Seeping in, you know what?
You became something to me (Oh)
Will you stay by my side
Always ’cause I know that love comes slowly
Ooh
Ooh, oh-oh, yeah
I hope our love lasts forever
I pray and pray, and picture it again and again
May our love last forever
Always ’cause I know that love comes slowly
