BABY (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
Night has settled and the room feels calm and still, giving space for quiet thoughts about someone close. The speaker feels warmth from a simple drink, which mirrors emotional comfort inside. They followed their longing to a new city, where everything in life shifted. Through all those changes, that person stayed nearby, offering steady support, comfort, and a sense of belonging that made the unfamiliar place feel like home.

[Pre-Chorus]
Two small lucky charms resting together remind the speaker of shared moments and quiet hopes. Touching them brings back memories that still feel warm and alive. Even while being alone now, those past days feel close, comforting the heart with gentle nostalgia and unspoken feelings.

[Chorus]
A new feeling begins to grow inside, and it cannot be controlled or stopped. Even without anything clearly happening, love fills the speaker’s day again. They know the wish is innocent and maybe unrealistic, but the ache that comes with it matters deeply. This emotion only exists because of meeting that person, and that makes it special. Right now the feelings are quiet, like something waiting under the soil. They are distant but alive, patiently hoping for the right season when they can finally open up and show themselves. It’s a soft promise held close, trusted to grow slowly without being rushed or forced into shape at the right time.

[Verse 2]
Falling petals remind the speaker of where they came from and stir gentle homesickness. Wanting to give something back, they search for a sign that they are still the same person. Even though the other person is busy, they pause, smile, and stay close. Nothing special is found before daylight fades, yet sharing that time together feels enough. The happiness comes from being side by side, not from any result. That quiet evening becomes a memory filled with warmth and simple joy.

[Interlude]
The drink grows cold with time, but the speaker’s emotions stay strong, steady, and unchanged.

[Bridge]
The speaker softly wonders if they hold any place in the other person’s heart. Unable to say it out loud, they turn to a small gift that represents hope and luck. Pressing a gentle kiss to it becomes a quiet way of expressing affection, longing, and love that unspoken.

[Chorus]
What has grown inside now feels clearer, strong, and impossible to stop. Love fills every day, even without clear actions or spoken confessions. The wish may sound innocent, but it feels honest and real. Even when doubts appear, misunderstandings happen, or pride causes clashes, the feeling does not fade. Loving deeply continues through silence, confusion, and awkward moments. Days where nothing moves forward still matter. Wanting closeness shows in small desires, like holding hands or meeting eyes. Thinking about the other person only deepens the affection. The speaker wants to share these feelings before parting ways, but fear and timing hold them back. For now, the words stay inside, protected, waiting until the heart feels ready. Every shared worry, every quiet day, and every unspoken thought becomes part of this love. Even mistakes and emotional distance feel meaningful. The speaker accepts not being perfect and not having answers yet. What matters is loving fully in the present moment, trusting that patience, time, and courage will eventually allow these feelings to be shared openly.

[Outro]
As night continues quietly, the speaker hears the other person nearby. With hope for tomorrow, love feels stronger than today. The words are finally said softly, ending the day with warmth and affection.
