“Cold Coffee” Lyrics English Translation
[Verse 1]
Suddenly waking up
A twinkling star at dawn
You’re somewhere
When I think about it, I’m not lonely
We’d sing for hours
Time piles up
[Pre-Chorus]
In the darkness, faintly reddened
I lean my chin against the window
One by one, the streetlights close their eyes
Counting the number of streetlights, I welcome this morning
[Chorus]
Tell me why, why you’re dawn?
Tell me why
Somewhere in my heart
The warmth
I need to see you (This moment, my heart is heated)
Love, I know (Baby, show me the way)
If I cry on a song
Would you know? I’m unbroken
[Verse 2]
The streets and footsteps in the early morning
With the newness of a busy day
Those painful yesterdays, now I’m patient
And right now, I’m growing stronger in this moment
Already on the way, could you open the door? Don’t make me wait
and tell me, “Don’t knock
just come.”
[Pre-Chorus]
The coffee that was brewed so hot
it felt like it was burning
has grown cold
but its scent still
lingers on the tip of my nose
and makes me smile
[Chorus]
Tell me why, why you’re dawn?
Tell me why
Somewhere in my heart
the warmth
that’s frozen
I need to see you (This moment, my heart is heated)
Love, I know (Baby, show me the way)
If I cry on a song
Would you know? I’m unbroken
[Bridge]
Look, babe, don’t let me go
This heart won’t break
When I think of you, every day is amazing
Know I want it, I can give it all
‘Cause I need ya (’cause I need ya)
Said I need ya (Said I need ya)
How is it that you’re new every day
I’m about to make this song fly
[Interlude]
Yeah
I’m about to make this song fly
[Chorus]
Tell me why, why you’re dawn?
Tell me why
Somewhere in my heart
The warmth
I need to see you (This moment, my heart is hot)
Love, I know (Baby, show me the way)
If I cry on a song
Would you know? I’m unbroken
[Outro]
I need to see you now (I’m on my way)
I’ll run to you
Tell me why you’re, why you’re dawn (This moment, my heart is burning hot)
Love, I know (Baby, show me the way)
If I cry on a song
Would you know? (Would you know?) I’m unbroken
