CINEMA Lyrics (Korean)
[Verse 1]
내 곁에 아무것도 없을 때
희미한 불빛 틈 사이로
넌 다가와 내 옆에 앉았고 그 순간
암전과 함께 문이 열렸네
[Chorus]
When this light goes down, story starts to rise up
스쳐가는 운명 사이로 오늘의 막이 열려
Never stop writing down, 명장면을 담을 때까지
I won’t let go
[Post-Chorus]
This is our cinema
Let me be your cinema
This is our cinema
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
In this film tape, 담겨진 우리 모습
바래지 않게, I’ll remember
오래도록 간직할게
For every moment, I will sing with you
[Chorus]
When this light goes down, story starts to rise up
스쳐가는 운명 사이로 오늘의 막이 열려
Never stop writing down
언제까지라도 난

CINEMA Lyrics (English)
[Verse 1]
When there’s nothing by my side
Through the dim lights
You came and sat down next to me, and at that moment
In the blackout, a door opened
[Chorus]
When this light goes down, story starts to rise up
Today’s curtain opens, through the passing fate
Never stop writing down, until I capture the best scene
I won’t let go
[Post-Chorus]
This is our cinema
Let me be your cinema
This is our cinema
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
In this film tape, we’re contained in the picture
Won’t let it fade, I’ll remembеr
I’ll keep it for a long time
For every momеnt, I will sing with you
[Chorus]
When this light goes down, story starts to rise up
Today’s curtain opens, through the passing fate
Never stop writing down
Forever, I’ll be
[Bridge]

Here the light shines again
Ending credits going up
You and my name
Together on it with the final curtain call
And now, night after night
When you cannot find your way
I’ll be waiting
