“Angel” lyrics by EXO-K
Hangul
Like a child who knows nothing
Like the moment I was reborn
Again in case it was just a dream
I closed my eyes and opened them
As expected, I was so desperate
I stand in front of you as if I were praying
Just once by your side
I want to walk in step with each other just once,
Just once
Riding the gentle wind into your world
Where do I come from beside you?
When you asked me cheerfully, I told you it was a secret.
If only we walk together like this
Everywhere is paradise
To me you are more fascinating than Michael
Who dares to disobey you
I don’t forgive
I stepped into Eden
Just like at the beginning, every day
Directed only towards you
I believe with my heart
Even if it is very small
Don’t make things difficult for yourself
I always want to protect you, I am eternally love
Be your guardian and stop the strong wind
Even if everyone turns their back on you
One day, when you are tired, I will dry your tears
If I could be that person
Everywhere is paradise
I have come to love you more
There’s nowhere to go
You took off your wings (oh no)
Reasons to be happy even if you have lost eternal life
Because my eternity is now you
Eternally Love
Riding the gentle wind into your world
Where do I come from beside you?
When you asked me cheerfully, I told you it was a secret.
If only we walk together like this
Everywhere is paradise

Translation
As if I had been reborn as a child
Who knows nothing
I thought it was a dream
Then I closed my eyes and opened them again
I am standing in front of you as if I am praying
I want to walk side by side
With you at least once,
Just once
I ride the gentle wind into your world
I walk next to you and you ask me where I’m from
You asked so innocently, so I said it’s a secret
Because if we walked together like this
Wherever we go, it will be paradise
You are more dazzling than Michael
Who can ever oppose you?
I won’t condone anyone who does that
Just like the first person
Trampling on Eden
Every day I will go only towards you
And I trust you with my heart
Even if it’s a small thing,
I want to protect you forever
So you will never have to suffer, I am eternally love
As your guardian angel, I will block that strong wind
Even if everyone turns their back on you
On difficult days, I will dry your tears
If only I could be that kind person
Wherever we go, it will be paradise
I have come to love you now
There’s nowhere I can go back
My wings have been taken away (oh no)
Even if I lose eternal life, which is why I’m happy
It’s because my forever now is you
Eternally love
I ride the gentle wind into your world
I walk next to you and you ask me where I’m from
You asked so innocently, so I said it’s a secret
Because if we walked together like this
Wherever we go, it will be paradise
