우리가 몰랐던 것들 (Simple Joys) Lyrics (English Translation) – D.O.

[Verse 1]
It didn’t even make sense to me
Even the small flowers on the roadside
Nothing has changed
My heart somehow looks pretty

[Pre-Chorus]
From some point on, everything around me
I feel precious in excitement
Let’s each find our own meaning

[Chorus]
Even the smallest excitement
I’m so happy
A day that just passed by
All the days I didn’t know
Without even a moment of peace of mind
In the familiar daily life
Even the precious moments
I didn’t realize it then

[Verse 2]
Before I know it, one by one, slowly
Every day I realize
I’m happy even though it’s awkward
Now face a new day

[Pre-Chorus]
Everything in the world had no meaning
Something special is changing in my life
Find out why it exists

[Chorus]
Even the smallest excitement
I’m so happy
A day that just passed by
All the days I didn’t know
Without even a moment of peace of mind
In the familiar daily life
Even the precious moments
I didn’t realize it then

[Bridge]
I didn’t realize it then
I didn’t know at the time
I didn’t know at the time
Yeah, I understand everything now

[Outro]
Every day when I fall asleep
When I open my eyes again
everything is happy
Yeah, I understand everything now
