Genius English Translations
IU - 이름에게 (Dear Name) (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
The voice I long for even in my dreams
I call out the name but there’s no answer
Only the tearful echo returns
And I listen to that sound by myself

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Even if it’s so cold, it feels like it’ll break
I won’t ever let go this time
The hands of that day that has gotten so far away

[Chorus]
Through the night that was endlessly long and thick and dark
I know your wish has silently disappeared
I’ll wait for a long time, I will definitely find you
Even if you’re so far that I can’t see you
Let’s go, to the place at the tip of dawn

[Verse 2]
The child who stands in front of me without fail
Head hanging low but never crying
When I sadly hold out my hand, the child runs away
So I hold onto the empty air by myself

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Even if it hurts so much
I won’t forget this time
The words that waited so long by itself
[Chorus]
Through the night that was endlessly long and thick and dark
I know your wish has silently disappeared
I’ll wait for a long time, I will definitely find you
Even if you’re so far that I can’t see you
Let’s go, to the place at the tip of dawn

[Verse 3]
Through the endlessly lost, cold and cruel days
I know your name that has silently been forgotten
I won’t stop, I’ll shout out several times
Even if you’re so far that I can’t believe it
Let’s go, to the place at the tip of dawn
