Translation Practice: Akdong Musician- 작은 별 (Little Star)

Here’s another one of my favorites off of AKMU’s new album. I like how they are promoting their predebut songs as well as some new songs. It show’s their growth as well as their authenticity about their music. I’m sure a lot a people were worried that YG was going to warp them into god know’s what.

밤 중 어딘가 소녀의 기도 소리가 들려오면
If you hear the sound of a girl praying at night
그건 작은 별의 잠꼬대일 거야
that will be a little star sleep talking
밤 중 어딘가 소년의 고백소리가 들려오면
If you hear the sound of a boy confessing
그건 작은 별의 뒤척임일 거야
That will be a little star tossing and turning

가끔 밤하늘을 보면
Sometimes when you look at the night sky
평소에는 보이지 않던 같은 모양의 빛깔이 떠다니지
Colors with the same shape you don’t usually see drift by

저게 인공위성일까 별이었으면 좋겠다
Is that a satellite? I wish it were a star.
눈에 안 보일 뿐이지 별은 사라지지 않아
You just can’t see it with your eyes. The stars don’t disappear.
나이를 먹은 하늘 눈이 침침할 뿐이야
It’s just that sky is old so it’s eyes are blurry
여전히 별은 빛난대
The stars shine like they have always done.
 
반짝반짝 작은 별님 날 조금만 비춰주세요
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, please shine on me.
이제 어때 좀 봐줄 만은 한가요
How about now? Do I look okay?
동쪽 하늘 서쪽 하늘 둘러보면 모든 하늘은 그렇게
Eastern sky western sky if you look around
날 향해 있다죠
the sky everywhere is facing me.

Please let my star rise on your night
Please let my star rise on your night
Please let my star rise on your night
Please let my star rise on your night
 
별님 아름다운 별님 나도 어쩌면 별님처럼 빛이 될 수 있나요
Star, Beautiful Star, can I become a star like you somehow?
나도 누군가의 별이 될 수 있을까
Could I become someone’s star?
별님 아름다운 별님 될 수만 있다면 나도 빛을 내어
Star, Beautiful star if it’s possible I want to shine
누군가를 바라보는 작은 별이 되고 싶네요
 and become a little star that somebody will look at too.
