작은 새- 지현 박
Little bird- Jihyun Park

내 마음의 작은 새야
My little bird in my heart

높이 날지 않아도 괜찮아
You don't have to fly high
낮은 곳에도 별을 담을 곳이 있어
Stars also exist in low places
내 마음의 작은 새야
My little bird in my heart 

네가 날고 있는 낮은 곳에도
You can fly in low places 
사랑과 자유의 별들을 만들게
I will make love and freedom among the stars [here]

새야, 새야
Bird, bird
높이 날려고 강해지지 않아도 괜찮아
You don’t have to become strong to fly high
높은 곳은 너무 추워
The high places are very cold
네가 날고 있는 낮은 곳에도
In low places you are flying
따뚯한 구름의 하늘을 만들게
I will make a sky with warm clouds for you

새야, 새야
Bird, bird
내 마음의 작고 이쁜 새야
My pretty little bird of my heart 

너는 그저
You are just
사랑처럼, 자유처럼, 따뚯한 햇살처럼
like love, like freedom, like warm sunshine
날갯짓하는
when you're flapping
내 마음의 작고 이쁜 새야
My pretty little bird of my heart
