From Future lyrics by Red Velvet above, we are gonna highlight several terms to breakdown. Let’s figure them out below.

1. 꿈 (Kkum)

꿈 (Kkum) means dream in English. It can refer to cerebral activity during sleep or kind of vision, hope, and ambition. We find this term in very first line “어딘지 모를 꿈결 속에서” (Eodinji moreul kkumkyeol sogeseo). If we breakdown this line, the meaning will be somewhere I don’t know in my dream. 어딘지 (Eodinji) can refer to somewhere. 모를 (moreul) derives from 모르다 (moreuda) to express do not know. 속에서 (Sogeseo) is a preposition.

2. 미래 (Mirae) – The Original Title of Future Lyrics by Red Velvet

This term represents the song title since 미래 (mirae) means future in English. We get this term from the line “너는 또 다른 나의 미래” (Neoneun tto dareun nae mirae). 너 (Neo) means you + 는 (neun) is subject particle. 또 (Tto) is adverb for too/ also. 다른 (Dareun) means another. 나의 (Nae) is Korean possessive pronoun or determiner for my or mine. This line implies that I have several dreams and you are one of my dreams too.

3. 잡고 싶어 (Japgo sipeo)

This is a combination of two phrases, 잡다 (japda) and 싶다 (sipda). 잡다 (Japda) means to hold, grab, seize, or grasp while 싶다 (sipda) indicates desire (want to, wish to, or would like to). It is find in line “너의 손을 잡고 싶어” (Neoe soneul japgosipeo). 너의 (Neoe) is possessive determiner of “your”. 손을 (Soneul) derives from 손 (son) which means hand followed by object particle -을 (-eul). Remember, -은/는 is subject particle while -을/를 is object particle. The meaning of line “너의 손을 잡고 싶어” (Neoe soneul japgosipeo) is “I want to hold your hand”.

4. 비춰 (Bichwo)

We get this term from line “날 비춰 줘” (Nal bichwo jwo). 비춰 (Bichwo) derives from the base form 비추다 (bichuda) that means shine or light. 날 (Nal) is an abbreviation for 나를 (nareul). 나 (Na) means “I” followed by object particle -를 (-reul). Meanwhile, 줘 (jwo) or 주다 (juda) means to give. The literal meaning of “날 비춰 줘” (Nal bichwo jwo) is about to give me a shine. Seeing its context, we could translate to “shine on me” to get the better sense.

5. 영원히 (Yeongwonhi)

영원히 (Yeongwonhi) means forever or eternally. We find this term in line “영원히 계속될 Love way” (yeongwonhi gyesokdwel love way). 계속될 (Gyesokdwel) derives from 계속되다 (gyesokdweda) that has various meanings: to continue, keep, go on, persist, remain, or run on. So, the most suitable meaning in English from line “영원히 계속될 Love way” (yeongwonhi gyesokdwel love way) is love way that will last forever.
