The Sun (NCT DREAM)
NCT DREAM’s song “The Sun” tells the story of a long journey in pursuit of dreams, overcoming various hardships, and finding hope after facing times of uncertainty. They reflect on every small step they’ve taken, from the days when everything still felt unfamiliar to their struggle to grow into stronger individuals. There were times when they felt tired, lost their way, and even wanted to give up because of the weight of the challenges they faced. However, the presence of people who were always by their side and supported one another enabled them to keep moving forward, even though they didn’t know what lay ahead. Through the line “The sun’s gonna come out today,” this song conveys the belief that after enduring a long, dark night, the sun will rise again, bringing new hope and happiness. This song serves as a reminder that every struggle, failure, and pain is part of the process of achieving one’s dreams. Although the journey isn’t quite over yet, they believe that as long as they keep trying and walking together, the day they’ve been waiting for will soon arrive.

English Translation
After a few long dreams
I always wake up wishing they could stay
Every scene that outlasted the dawn
I’ll keep them close to my heart
A small, faint light behind our clumsy steps
A path that lit the way through the distant darkness
Every first step felt exciting
As long as we’re together
Morning light falls on our shoulders
The sun is rising brighter than before
Through the nights we held on tight
Shining brighter as it reaches us
The sun’s gonna come out today
When my heavy heart holds me back
Sometimes I just fall right down
All those nights that hurt as I tried to grow
I can see them clearly now
The picture you painted deep within my dreams
Feels like a map that takes me further
Even when I wander, I won’t lose my way
With you here
Morning light falls on our shoulders
The sun is rising brighter than before
Through the nights we held on tight
Shining brighter as it reaches us
The sun’s gonna come out today
How far have we run by now?
Still can’t see an inch ahead
But I know I’ll find the answer somehow
Almost there, I see the bright Daylight
Today
Today

Today
Morning light falls on our shoulders
The sun is rising brighter than before
Through the nights we held on tight
Shining brighter as it reaches us
The sun’s gonna come out today
At last, right in front of us
The sun’s gonna come out today
Hangul
긴 몇 편의 꿈들을 꾸고 나면
늘 아쉽게 잠에서 깨
새벽보다 길었던 모든 장면
내 맘속에 담아둘래
서툰 발자국 뒤 작고 여린 빛
저 멀리 어둠 사일 밝혀온 길
어떤 첫걸음도 기대가 됐지
함께라면
아침이 와 우리 어깨 위로
더 선명히 떠오른 해
웅크린 채 버틴 밤을 건너
더 찬란히 우릴 향해
The sun’s gonna come out today
무거워진 마음이 발을 잡아
주저앉아 버리곤 해
더 큰 내가 되려고 아팠던 밤
다 선명히 보여 이젠
깊은 꿈속 펼친 너의 그림이
더 멀리 날 데려갈 지도같이
때론 헤매어도 길 잃지 않지
네가 있어
아침이 와 우리 어깨 위로
더 선명히 떠오른 해
웅크린 채 버틴 밤을 건너
더 찬란히 우릴 향해
The sun’s gonna come out today
얼마나 멀리 달렸을까
한 치 앞마저도 모르겠지만
결국 난 답을 찾을 거야
거의 다 온 듯해 눈부신 Daylight
Today
Today
Today
Today
아침이 와 우리 어깨 위로
더 선명히 떠오른 해
웅크린 채 버틴 밤을 건너
더 찬란히 우릴 향해
The sun’s gonna come out today
기다렸던 우리 앞에
The sun’s gonna come out today
