Phoenix Lyrics Translation (from “Blue Valentine”)
Danke writes about overcoming ash and fire. The lyrics mention a handful of dirt and a cold heart. ‘Born again from the ash’ shows the phoenix rising. Physical images like a bright blue spark bring the rebirth to life.
Take a breath take a breathTake a breath, take a breath.
It’s time now it’s time to goIt’s time now, it’s time to go.
Never fear the fall (Phoenix)Never fear the fall (Phoenix).
So foggy in the ash in the ash (one more time now)It’s so foggy in the ash, in the ash (one more time now).
(Phoenix) born again from the ash from the ash(Phoenix) born again from the ash, from the ash.
Let’s goLet’s go.

Chage sigeotdeon heartmy heart had grown cold.
Geochin sumgyeoreul kkaewoI’m waking up my heavy breath,
Bureo saeparan sparkand blowing on a bright blue spark.
Rise up and wake up from the fireRise up and wake up from the fire.
Sosaolla on the groundI’m soaring up from the ground.
Bureul jipyeo dasi taolla ah-I’ll light the fire and burn again, ah.
Break up all the boundsI’ll break up all the bounds.
Nalgae pyeolchyeo to the skyI’m spreading my wings to the sky,
Gathyeoitdeon sumi teojyeo mak ah-my trapped breath finally bursts out, ah.
