WENDY “Sunkiss” Lyrics

Hangul

I’d break the wall
새벽을 깨우는 Light
향길 뒤쫓아 저 하늘에 닿아
널 향해서 인사 mmm
Mirror Mirror how could I rise so bright
떠밀려온 네 목소릴 안아
피어올라 빛에 닿아 mmm

새까만 도시의 소음을 걷어내
Let them leave before breakfast but
Stay in their heads
꽃잎을 닮은 불꽃을 피워볼래
널 잡을 수 있다면 난

날아올라
저 붉은 빛에 너와 입맞춰
눈부시도록
피어나 빛을 띠는 Color
찬란하게 번져
푸른 빛의 수평선
미치도록 낯설지만
널 기다려왔어

Fall into the Sunkiss oh
Run into the Sunkiss oh
날카로움 너머
겁도 없이 널 향해 안겨
Fall into the Sunkiss

투명한 빛 속의 너의 온긴
흐릿해진 색을 물들여 채워
Turned all my yes’es to gold

때론 숨이 턱 끝까지 차올라도
거친 해일이 내 몸을 삼킨대도
I don’t give up 있는 힘껏 부딪힐래
널 안을 수 있다면 난

날아올라
저 붉은 빛에 너와 입맞춰
눈부시도록
피어나 빛을 띠는 Color
찬란하게 번져
푸른 빛의 수평선
미치도록 낯설지만
널 기다려왔어

Fall into the Sunkiss oh
Run into the Sunkiss oh
날카로움 너머
겁도 없이 널 향해 안겨
Fall into the Sunkiss

Fallin’ Fallin’ Fallin’
For me For me For me
Run into the Sunkiss
For me For me For me
더 선명히 퍼지는 나

햇살이 내린
너를 향해 날 힘껏 던져
계절을 딛고 영원히
빛을 띠는 Color
찬란하게 번져
푸른 빛의 수평선
미치도록 낯설지만
널 기다려왔어

Fall into the Sunkiss oh
Run into the Sunkiss oh
날카로움 너머
겁도 없이 널 향해 안겨
Fall into the Sunkiss

Translation

I’d break the wall
A light that awakens the dawn
Chasing the scent, reaching that sky
Greeting you, mmm
Mirror Mirror how could I rise so bright
Embracing your voice that drifted to me
Blooming and reaching the light, mmm

Clear away the noise of the pitch-black city
Let them leave before breakfast but
Stay in their heads
I’ll ignite flames resembling flower petals
Only if I could catch you, I

Fly up,
I’ll kiss you in that red light
A dazzling
color that blooms and shines
Brilliantly spreading,
the blue horizon
Though it’s incredibly unfamiliar
I’ve been waiting for you

Fall into the Sunkiss oh
Run into the Sunkiss oh
Beyond the border
I’ll embrace you fearlessly
Fall into the Sunkiss

Your warmth in the transparent light
Dye and fill in the faded colors
Turned all my yes’es to gold

Even when I’m out of breath sometimes
Even if a rough tsunami swallows me
I don’t give up, I’ll clash with all my might
Only If I could hold you, I

Fly up,
I’ll kiss you in that red light
A dazzling
color that blooms and shines
Brilliantly spreading,
the blue horizon
Though it’s incredibly unfamiliar
I’ve been waiting for you

Fall into the Sunkiss oh
Run into the Sunkiss oh
Beyond the border
I’ll embrace you fearlessly
Fall into the Sunkiss

Fallin’ Fallin’ Fallin’
For me For me For me
Run into the Sunkiss
For me For me For me
I spread more vividly

Where the sunlight falls
I throw myself towards you with all my might
Stepping over seasons
A color that glows forever
Brilliantly spreading,
the blue horizon
Though it’s incredibly unfamiliar
I’ve been waiting for you

Fall into the Sunkiss oh
Run into the Sunkiss oh
Beyond the border
I’ll embrace you fearlessly
Fall into the Sunkiss

WENDY “Sunkiss” Meaning

“Sunkiss” by Wendy is an uplifting alternative pop song about stepping into a new beginning with courage and hope. The track captures the excitement and nervousness of entering an unfamiliar chapter in life while choosing to move forward confidently.

The title “Sunkiss” symbolizes warmth, healing, and emotional light. Being “kissed by the sun” represents embracing happiness, love, and one’s true self instead of hiding in fear or uncertainty.
