IU - Love Poem (English Cover)

there's a lot i want to say about this song, but this might suffice: / an-open-letter-to-you-...
IU actually posted a small blurb about the song itself, saying: "Now I know better though - my meddling has more to do with me desperately wanting to see them get back on track to their normal lives, rather than me genuinely wanting to be considerate and to console them."
partly because i absolutely adore IU and partly because it touches upon a topic i'm very passionate about--but i was so hype about this song that for once, i was finally willing to take the time to write english lyrics to this song. i tweaked the meaning a bit 1) for better flow into english 2) personal understanding.
hope you enjoy!

[Verse 1]
I think there’s somebody out there
Saying for you a little prayer
In the silence I can hear~
The starting words of this love poem
I hope it flies~ straight to you over there
From the sky~ so you’ll know who’s near
[Chorus]
I’ll be there, next to you who’s walked alone
Singing till the end, so our song would only grow
When you get the chance, listen for a bit
On this night that seems so endless I will sing for you
[Verse 2]
A star is falling once again
In your world you’ve tried to mend
For every broken piece you lose~
A teardrop sheds just for you
Inside of my heart~ I can’t find all the words
Although it feels far~ I know that voice is still heard
[Chorus]
I’ll be there, next to you who’s walked alone
Singing till the end, so our song would only grow
Can you take a breath? Would you take a rest?
Even though you’ve lost the music, I will sing for you
[Chorus]
Here I am, keep your eyes on me, I’ll just be
Singing till the end, I will stop this song for nothing
Even when this night reaches to an end
When you raise your head and see the stars again
I’ll be there

Thank you for making this cover. I was looking for an English cover to send to a dear friend who’s going through a tough time and doesn’t understand Korean and I’m beyond grateful I came across your video. Your voice is so strong and emotional. Hope you create more magic in the future! 💕

[@jya7284]

Is this the right English lyrics?

[@booyah62]

Yannah M Nope, it was written in the description that the lyrics that she wrote are her personal understanding.

[@jya7284]

Aeri Kim personal understanding? Sorry I’m a little confused
