Lyrics & translation
Verse
The doors slide shut.
문이 닫혀요.
White walls, clear floor.
하얀 벽, 투명한 바닥.
Keep my eyes shut.
눈을 꽉 감아요.
Cold air, fourth floor.
차가운 공기, 4층.
Chorus
Floating on thin air.
허공 위에 떠 있어요.
Don't look down.
아래를 보지 마요.
I’m almost there.
거의 다 왔어.
For you, I’m brave.
너를 위해 용기를 내요.
Floating on thin air.
허공 위에 떠 있어요.
For you, I’m brave.
너를 위해 용기를 내요.
Verse
Your tiny hand is waiting seven floors above.
일곱 층 위에서 네 작은 손이 기다려.
This aunt has never held a newborn child.
이 이모는 갓난아이를 안아 본 적이 없어.
I breathe and let the rising cabin carry me.
숨을 쉬며 올라가는 승강기에 몸을 맡겨.
For you, I will go higher than my fear.
너를 위해 내 두려움보다 더 높이 올라갈게.
Chorus
I’m almost there.
거의 다 왔어.
For you, I’m brave.
너를 위해 용기를 내요.
Floating on thin air.
허공 위에 떠 있어요.
For you, I’m brave.
너를 위해 용기를 내요.
