Don’t try too hard to speak to me, it’s okay
Now I know I can only find you in the photos
Your voice is gone, and
 I don't know where to rest my heart

But just because it’s getting dark,
 doesn’t mean you’re gone
I can feel the traces you left behind
 by my tears

I might look a bit impatient to your eyes
I know it too, but as the one left here,
 I can't help myself

Learning that a life can crumble 
down all at once
I’ll just think you went ahead to wait, 
so we can become one forever

Do you remember the time when
 we first met and loved?

I’m sure you’re telling me
"Have a good night's sleep today"
 with your sweet whisper
And I must have promised to
 meet you after saying "I love you"

Sounds that no words in this 
world can ever explain
Sounds my head could never even
 imagine, I hear them now

Let that sound reach you, 
so it makes my heart beat again
I make a song with lyrics to remember
 the traces turned into ash

When I write and hum these words
I feel like this sound will reach you
I write down the stories I couldn't 
tell all day long

Because our story is not over yet
What kind of lyrics should I write today?
I imagine being with you every day
Shall I pick a star for you from 
tonight’s radiant sky?

I fall asleep praying and thanking 
you again today
(Yeah, the darkest night)
Don’t you worry at all, we’ll meet 
each other soon

I’m doing well today, as always

Producer's Review: The Great Night (English Ver. Special Note)

"The Beauty of Silence: Why the English Lyrics are Unfinished"
While this track is the final piece of the album, it remains a 'work in progress' by choice.
[On the Lyrical Differences] In the original Korean version, the lyrics are tightly interwoven with the narratives of my previous works—Soul Wave (Eternal One), Traces Left Behind, and The Leftover Note. It contains a raw, physical 'void' in the middle and ends with a trembling final greeting: "Goodbye for now, from this place."
However, for this English version, I have intentionally removed those elements. 1. The Omission of Connection: I chose to delete the complex lyrical links to previous albums to let the pure emotion of 'The Great Night' stand alone. 2. The Absence of 'Goodbye': Most importantly, the final farewell found in the Korean version does not exist in the English lyrics.
"I removed the words because some emotions are too heavy to be translated." The silence where the lyrics should be is not a mistake; it is the most honest expression of my heart. Even the final "Goodbye" was too painful to record in a second language, so I left it as a hollow space. I apologize for the unpolished mastering, but I hope you can hear the truth within the parts I couldn't bring myself to sing.
