떨어져 깨질듯 한 투명한 네게

As if it’s about to fall and shatter, clear, toward me
달콤한 독물 퍼지듯
dalkomhan dogmul peojideut
The sweet poisonous substance about to spread
하얗게 얼어붙은 내 오랜 상처가
hayake eoreobuteun nae oraen sangcheoga
My old scars that have frozen white and stuck fast
너의 가슴속 깊게 퍼져도
neoye gaseumsok gipge peojeodo
Even though they spread deep inside your heart
잡은 듯 할 때 파고드는
jabeun deut hal ttae pagodeuneun
When I’m about hold you
크롬의 비늘 날카로움

The flakes of chrome that gnaw away, their sting

When I drink you in
다시 내뱉을 수 없어

I can’t breathe you out
이 잔인한 고통 속에

Inside this intense agony
내가 죽어가고 있잖아

Can’t you see I’m dying away like this?

차갑고 시리도록 투명한 너를

Cold, to the point of freezing, you’re transparent
마시고 또 마셔 봐도

Though I breath you in, and keep breathing you in
하얗게 질리도록 달려온 것만큼
hayake jillidorok dallyeoon geonmankeum
Until I’ve turned white from the shock,
너란 사랑에 목이 말라
neoran sarange mogi malla
As if I’d ran, I’m dry of thirst for your love
[Minho & Taemin]
잡은 듯 할 때 스며드는
jabeun deut hal ttae seumyeodeuneun
When I’m about to grab you, the surfer’s attack that smites
서퍼의 습격 이 부드러움
seopeoye seupgyeok i budeureoum
Riding on a wave of love, this softness
