English Translation | Starlight 별자리

That summer night when we first met
Do you remember it?
It felt like the cicadas
Were jealous of our conversation

We cut through the dark sky
And in each other’s eyes, little stars rose
We counted them, one by one, mm

I connect the stars and draw your face
Are you looking at the same place too?
Amidst the countless stars in the night sky, shining brightly
I see your constellation, only visible to me
Your constellation, seen only by me

Since I carved you between the embroidered stars
(After you were engraved)
The summer night sky
Can never be the same

We shyly brushed our fingertips
And in the spreading smile, a little star reflected
We carefully etched its twinkle, mm

I connect the stars and draw your face
Are you looking at the same place too?
Amidst the countless stars in the night sky, shining brightly
I see your constellation, only visible to me
I connect the stars and draw your expression
Are you smiling that same smile too?
Shining bright enough to pierce through the clouds tonight
I see your constellation, only visible to me
Your constellation, that only I can see
