오랜 약속 (An Old Promise) Lyrics Translation – Alive Soundtrack
The songwriter uses powerful images like a distant starlight and a silent desert to describe isolation. A key line in the English lyrics states, ‘I’ll meet you like a miracle, laughing and crying with you.’ This phrase captures the song’s central promise of a joyful reunion.
