오늘에게 (Good Night) Lyrics (English Translation) – D.O.

[Verse 1]
By the pillow beyond dawn
little light on
Tomorrow comes every day
What’s so unsettling?
A sigh that lasts longer than the night
I turn over the blanket once again
What was it like in the morning?
I probably don’t even remember it all

[Chorus]
So now good night
Close your eyes quietly
Stop worrying about tomorrow
Whatever it is tomorrow
I’ll leave it to me
There’s still a long way to go
Even if I wander through the early morning
Say hello good night
To today

[Verse 2]
The more I try to cut it off
Thoughts bite their tails
Mugen the Runaway Sleep
It feels like it’s on my chest
Even though I’m worried, deep in my heart
I believe it will eventually pass
There are countless nights like this
Because the past moment is now

[Chorus]
So now good night
Close your eyes quietly
Stop worrying about tomorrow
Whatever it is tomorrow
I’ll leave it to me
There’s still a long way to go
Even if I wander through the early morning
Say hello good night

[Bridge]
To today
To me again

[Chorus]
Good night before it’s too late
Close your eyes comfortably
Sweetly good night
An anxious day
For me who endured
Tomorrow is the original
It’s natural that we don’t know
So now good night
To today

[Verse 1]
The first verse portrays the narrator’s contemplation during the late hours of the night. With the dim glow of dawn filtering through, they reflect on the repetitive nature of days passing by, each carrying its own set of uncertainties and anxieties. The prolonged sigh signifies a deeper sense of introspection, as they toss and turn, struggling to recall the details of the morning, perhaps symbolizing the transient nature of memory and the passage of time.

[Chorus]
The chorus serves as a reassurance to let go of worries about tomorrow and embrace the tranquility of the present moment. Encouraging listeners to peacefully close their eyes and relinquish control over the future, it emphasizes self-reliance and resilience in facing whatever lies ahead.

[Verse 2]
In the second verse, the narrator delves deeper into the complexities of their thoughts, which seem to persist despite efforts to suppress them. The reference to “Mugen the Runaway Sleep” suggests a struggle with restlessness and insomnia, with worries weighing heavily on their chest. Despite this inner turmoil, there’s a glimmer of hope and faith that these troubling moments will eventually pass, recognizing the cyclical nature of such experiences.

[Chorus]
Similar to the previous chorus, this repetition underscores the importance of finding peace amidst uncertainty. It reinforces the notion of entrusting the future to oneself, acknowledging the long journey ahead while embracing the serenity of the early morning. By bidding “good night” to today, there’s a symbolic release of burdens, allowing for a sense of renewal and resilience to face what lies ahead.

[Bridge]
The bridge serves as a poignant reflection on the present moment and the narrator’s relationship with themselves. By addressing “today” and reaffirming their connection to themselves, there’s a sense of acceptance and acknowledgment of personal growth and resilience.

[Chorus]
In the final chorus, there’s a sense of urgency to bid farewell to the day and find solace in the comfort of the night. Acknowledging the challenges faced throughout the day, there’s a recognition of endurance and perseverance, with an acceptance of the inherent uncertainty of tomorrow. It’s a gentle reminder to embrace the peace found in the present moment and to bid “good night” to today’s worries.
