“Never Goodbye” Lyrics by NCT DREAM
Hangul
It will stop the changing of the seasons
I can’t hold you with those words, but
To you who will face many seasons
I’m trying to make this heart shine someday
So that my heart is not clouded by the steps I leave
So please don’t cry, I promise
A day after enduring an unusually dark and long night
When I suddenly look up and can’t hold back the tears,
Following the twinkling stars
I will find my way back again
It’s never goodbye
the path you need to take now
You might bump into me
You can’t always walk in the same direction
I know, I know, I know (I know)
If we can’t find a way to move forward together
I’ll always shine on you from afar (Uh)
I’m still the same, I’m still the same as a photo
But time said it wasn’t so (it wasn’t so)
Hearing this tickles my memories
I see you even if I close my eyes
You know, it’s not normal for you, I’m not normal
Even if you miss it for a moment, you can find it right away
I’ll wait there
우린 it’s never goodbye (it’s never goodbye)
Turning again and again in the dark
As if one day I will recognize you
Find me, please
So that my stopped heart (heart) no longer works (again)
So please (So please) don’t cry (Don’t cry) I promise
A day after enduring an unusually dark and long night
When I suddenly look up and can’t hold back the tears,
Following the twinkling stars
I will find my way back again
It’s never goodbye
The day you will come back to me one day
I’ll pick you up in one step
You were, you are, you and I
We will always be together
Don’t cross paths then
A day after enduring an unusually dark and long night
When I suddenly look up and can’t hold back the tears,
Following the twinkling stars (following the stars)
I’ll find my way back (I’ll find my way back)
It’s never goodbye
You never say goodbye
Same time, same place, same space
Illuminate starlight in the darkness
Thanks to you, my only constellation
I hope it gets completed
Don’t be anxious, I’m watching you
I remember the night we were together
When walking on an unfamiliar road, raise your head
look at that star

Translation
I can’t try to hold you back with words like
“I will stop the changing of the seasons for you”
But to you, who will face many seasons to come,
I want to make this unique heart of mine shine
So that your departing steps and your heart are not clouded,
So please don’t cry, because I’ll make you a promise
One day, when you are going through an exceptionally dark and long night,
If you suddenly raise your head, unable to hold back your tears,
Following the twinkling star,
You will find your way back to me once again
It’s never goodbye
The path you need to travel now
It might end up overtaking mine
I know we can’t always walk in the exact same direction
I know, I know, I know (I know)
If we can’t find a way to move forward together,
I’ll always shine on you from afar (Uh)
I’m still here, unchanged, like a photo
But time doesn’t seem to work that way (It doesn’t work that way)
Listen to it and stir up your old memories
I see you even when I close my eyes
You know, it’s not normal for you, I’m not normal
Even if I temporarily lose track of you, to be able to find you in a single glance,
I’ll wait for you right there
For us it’s never goodbye (it’s never goodbye)
Twisting and turning in the dark once again,
Just like the way I will immediately recognize you one day…
Find me, please
So that my frozen and still heart doesn’t start running forward again,
So please (So please) don’t cry (Don’t cry), because I’ll make you a promise
One day, when you are going through an exceptionally dark and long night,
If you suddenly raise your head, unable to hold back your tears,
Following the twinkling star,
You will find your way back to me once again
It’s never goodbye
On that day when you will one day return to me,
I run out to greet you with a single step
You were, you are, you and I
We will always be together
When that time comes, don’t let our paths cross
One day, when you are going through an exceptionally dark and long night,
If you suddenly raise your head, unable to hold back your tears,
Following the twinkling star (following the star),
You’ll find your way back to me once again (you’ll find your way back)
It’s never goodbye
You never say goodbye
Inside the same time, the same point, the same space
Turn it on, starlight in the darkness
Thanks to you, I hope my one and only constellation
It can finally proceed towards completion
Don’t be anxious, I’m watching you
I still remember the nights we spent together
When you walk down an unfamiliar road, raise your head
And look at that star
NCT DREAM Meaning “Never goodbye”.
“Never Goodbye” (북극성, meaning “North Star”) by NCT DREAM is a heartfelt ballad about lasting love, unwavering support and the promise of reunion. The song reassures listeners that true connections can withstand any distance, separation or passage of time.
The central symbol of the song is the North Star, which serves as a metaphor for guidance and stability. Just as Polaris helps travelers find their way in the darkness, the members promise to remain a constant source of comfort and strength to those they care about, especially their fans.
Another key theme is the idea that goodbyes are never truly final. The lyrics emphasize that even when people are physically separated, the emotional bond they share remains intact. Rather than focusing on loss, the song offers reassurance that meaningful relationships continue to exist across distance and time.
Ultimately, “Never Goodbye” is a touching promise of loyalty and reunion. Through its warm lyrics and emotional melody, the song conveys hope, reminding listeners that no matter how far apart they may be, the people who matter most will always find their way back to each other.
