English:

I just started walking and ended up at the sea
I’m looking at the coast from here
There’s endless sand and the rough wind
But I’m looking at a desert
I wanted to have the sea so I swallowed you up
But I’m even thirstier than before
Is what I know really the ocean?
Or a blue desert?

I don’t know, I don’t know
Am I feeling the waves right now? Yeah
I don’t know, I don’t know
Am I being chased by the sand wind? Yeah
I don’t know, I don’t know
Is this the sea or the desert? Is this hope or despair?
Is this real or fake? shit

I know, I know, my hardship right now
I know, I know, I’ll overcome
I know, I know, open me up
It’s the place I can rely on
Think positive, I’m swallowing my dry spit
Even if I’m nervous, even if I’m in a desert
I’m in the beautiful Namib Desert

Where there is hope, there is always hardship
Where there is hope, there is always hardship
Where there is hope, there is always hardship
Where there is hope, there is always hardship

Where there is hope
You know, you know, you know, yeah yeah
Where there is hope
You know, you know, you know, yeah yeah

I thought this was the ocean but it’s a desert
A medium-sized, ordinary idol was my second name
Countless people get cut from broadcast
But someone’s empty spot is our dream
They say some of these kids can’t make it
Cause their agency is too small
I know, I know, I know too
Times when the seven of us had to sleep in one room
With foolish hope that tomorrow
Will be different before we fell asleep
We saw the mirage in the desert
But we couldn’t grasp it
Praying that we’ll remain in this desert till the end
Praying that this isn’t truly our reality

In the end, we reached the mirage
And it became our reality
The scary desert
Became the ocean with our blood, sweat and tears
But why is there this fear
In between the happiness?
Because we know too well that this place is really a desert

I don’t wanna cry
I don’t wanna rest
No, who cares if we rest a little?
No no no
I don’t wanna lose
It’s always a desert
I told you everything
Then I’ll just be more depressed

Where there is hope, there is always hardship
Where there is hope, there is always hardship
Where there is hope, there is always hardship
Where there is hope, there is always hardship

Where there is hope
You know, you know, you know, yeah yeah
Where there is hope
You know, you know, you know, yeah yeah

Ocean, desert, the world
Everything is the same thing
Different name
I see ocean, I see desert, I see the world
Everything is the same thing
But with different name
It’s life again

Where there is hope
You know, you know, you know, yeah yeah
Where there is hope
You know, you know, you know, yeah yeah

Where there is hope, there is always despair
Where there is hope, there is always despair
Where there is hope, there is always despair
Where there is hope, there is always despair

We need to be in despair, for all our hardships
We need to be in despair, for all our hardships

Korean:

어찌어찌 걸어 바다에 왔네
이 바다에서 나는 해변을 봐
무수한 모래알과 매섭고 거친 바람
여전히 나는 사막을 봐
바다 갖고 싶어 널 온통 들이켰어
근데 그 전보다 더 목이 말라
내가 다 아는 것이 진정 바다인가
아니면 푸른 사막인가

I don’t know I don’t know
내가 지금 파도를 느끼고 있는지 yeah
I don’t know I don’t know
아직도 모래바람에 쫓기고 있는지 yeah
I don’t know I don’t know
바다인지 사막인지 희망인지 절망인지
진짜인지 가짜인지 shit

I know I know 지금 내 시련을
I know I know 이겨낼 것을
I know I know *
내가 의지할 곳이란 것을
좋게 생각해 마른침 삼켜
불안하더라도 사막일지라도
아름다운 나미브 사막이라고

희망이 있는 곳엔 반드시 시련이 있네
희망이 있는 곳엔 반드시 시련이 있네
희망이 있는 곳엔 반드시 시련이 있네

희망이 있는 곳엔
You know you know you know yeah yeah

바다인줄 알았던 여기는 되려 사막이었고
별거 엎는 중소아이돌이 두번째 이름이었어
방송에 짤리기는 뭐 부지기수
누구의 땜빵이 우리의 꿈
어떤 이들은 회사가 작아서
제대로 못 뜰거래
I know I know 나도 알어
한방에서 일곱이 잠을 청하던 시절도
잠이 들기전에 내일은
다를거란 믿음도
사막의 신기루 형태는 보이지만
잡히지는 않았고
끝이 없던 이 사막에서 살아남길 빌어
현실이 아니기를 빌어

결국 신기루는 잡히고
현실이 됐고
두렵던 사막은
우리의 피 땀 눈물로 채워 바다가 됐어
그런데 이 행복들 사이에
이 두려음 들은 뭘까
원래 이곳은 사막이란걸 우린 너무 잘 알아

울고 싶지 않아
쉬고 싶지 않아
아니 조금만 쉬면 어때
아니 아니 아니
지고 싶지 않아
원래 사막이잖아
그럼 다 알려줬네
더 우울해야지 뭐

희망이 있는 곳엔 반드시 시련이 있네
희망이 있는 곳엔 반드시 시련이 있네

우린 절망해야해 그 모든 시련을 위해
우린 절망해야해 그 모든 시련을 위해
