Korean:

꿈을 꾸는 내 모습 기억이 날까요
별을 찾는 아이 같다 말했죠
남들과 다른 내 모습 이해해줘서
고맙단 말도 못했는데
어디 있나요
보고 싶은 내 마음과 같은가요
별이 된거죠
내 맘속에 영원히 숨쉬고 있죠

예전처럼 내 곁에서 볼 수 없어도
힘들어 할 땐 나도 알 수 있어
그럴 때 내 모습을 떠올리는 거죠
신비한 힘을 전할게요

어디있나요
보고싶은 내 마음과 같은가요
별이 된거죠
내 맘속에 넌 살아있는 꿈이죠

함께 걸었던
거리 주고받던 얘기
서성거리게 되면
벅차 올라요 나는
너무나 힘들지만

시간이 지나도
더 먼 곳에 있다 하여도
널 바라보고 있어

어디있나요
보고싶은 내 마음과 같은가요
별이 된거죠
내 맘속에 넌 살아있는 꿈이죠
살아있는 꿈이죠

English translation:

I wonder if you will remember me who used to dream
You said that I was like a child searching for a star
You understood me, who was different than others
But I didn’t even get to say thank you
Where are you?
Are you the same as me, who misses you?
You became a star –
Forever breathing in my heart

Even though I can’t see you by my side like before
When you are suffering, I know
Then you can think of me
I will send you mysterious strength

Where are you?
Are you the same as me, who misses you?
You became a star –
You’re a living dream in my heart

The streets we walked together,
The stories we exchanged
When I linger around them,
I get overwhelmed
It’s so hard for me but

Even when time passes,
Even if you’re farther away
I am looking at you

Where are you?
Are you the same as me, who misses you?
You became a star –
You’re a living dream in my heart
You’re a living dream
