Tuberose Lyrics (English Translation) – SUNMI (선미)

Tuberose (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
The singer talks about a quiet, dreamy night filled with moonlight, where someone seems to be searching for something or someone. She already knows what they want—to see something beautiful come alive, like a flower blooming in the night.

[Pre-Chorus]
She compares herself or someone else to a fading presence in the air, someone who comes and goes without leaving any trace behind. Even though they vanish completely, their memory or scent lingers, like perfume that stays after someone leaves.

[Chorus]
The singer expresses a deep longing to be close to someone she misses. She wants to be called to meet them, to rush to their side like the wind, and to hold them tightly. She asks to be kept warm and safe until she falls asleep, showing a desire for comfort and connection. Yet she knows it’s temporary—she will appear and disappear like a fleeting dream, leaving behind warmth that fades with time.

[Post-Chorus]
A soft echo of emotions, like a sigh or lingering feeling.

[Verse 2]
The image of the tuberose, swaying in the dark, suggests mystery and beauty. It’s where passion and tenderness meet, showing love that quietly blossoms in the shadows.

[Pre-Chorus]
Once again, she describes someone who comes and goes like the wind—untouchable and free. They don’t hold on or look back, but something about them stays behind, their scent marking the space where they once were.

[Chorus]
The longing continues as she dreams of being with that person again. She’s ready to come when called, fly to them like a breeze, and embrace them lovingly. She wants to feel warmth and closeness through the night, but deep down she knows it’s fragile. Just like before, she appears in their life like a dream and fades away again, leaving only the feeling of what once was.

[Post-Chorus]
A gentle sound that mirrors the fading emotions and dreamlike mood.
