Younha — “살별” | “c/2022YH” English lyrics
Korean title’s translation: “Comet”
The English title is a play on comet classification. In this case, it would be a non-periodic comet discovered in 2022, the year of the song’s release.
C/2022 YH I’ll be born through discovery, So this is all I’ll write.
Even if I crash and break, There won’t be any setbacks in my path, Though it’s a little lonely, oh.
The people living well on that little blue dot far away Will endlessly yearn for here.
Even if a comet’s shadow Isn’t any more than a rock It’ll burn up—the reason for being in this orbit. At the end of this flight, Your wish will surely come true. With a small voice, I’ll pray for our blessings. Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah.
Let’s put aside our questions. Right now in this moment, there are no doubts, So our goals are clear, oo-woah.
Why do you go in circles, they ask. There’s no time to listen to such words. You know it’s not the truth.
A comet’s shadow In the hotly melting ice Will burn up—the reason for being in this orbit. The end of this journey Will surely become your future, So with a small voice, please pray for our blessings.
In the helpless space dust that can disappear in a moment, There are differing stories carved into the world.
There’s an important story I wanted to tell. You only have to listen. Even if you fall asleep in the thing call eternity, Don’t forget me.
When you’re burning hot, I’ll be by your side.
Even if a comet’s shadow Isn’t any more than a rock I’ll burn bright—I want to be in this orbit. At the end of this flight, I’ll grant you one wish. It will probably be the strength and courage you possessed.
