AHOF (아홉) – RUN TO YOU Lyrics (English Translation)
[Intro]
Run to you.
Maybe it’s obvious
Don’t need a reason why.
No words are needed now.
It’s getting so clear.
Everyone else on Do Not Disturb mode.
Girl, you take my hoodie.
‘Cause it’s always been you.
[Pre-Chorus]
Run to you, run to you, run to you, run to you, run to you.
Run, run, run, run, run.
Run to you, run to you, run to you, run to you, run to you.
Run, run, run, run, run.
[Verse 1]
My BPM is climbing higher,
Our track is coming into focus.
My heart is beating like it’s about to burst
I’m getting closer every second.
Like it’s nothing new,
I’ll be running to you now.
This feeling isn’t something rushed
That I know.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every new step I take, you’re with me.
Through the vibrations, it’s you and I.
Don’t hesitate I’ll be there for you.
Take a look. I’m coming to you now.
[Chorus]
I’ll be the first to reach tomorrow’s you.
Run to you, run to you, run to you, run to you.
I’ll let you know tomorrow too, I’ll see you.
Run to you, run to you straight to you, run to you.
Run to you, run to you straight to you, run to you.
[Verse 2]
Take a ride with me.
We’ve got all the time we need.
Your DMs are open everything else on mute.
Like I’m under your spell.
Baby, take my seat.
In this moment, I’ll never let you go.
Everyone else out here is just blah.
All the sounds around me fade away.
Nothing else matters we’re on to the block.
Hold me tight, I’ll take you and fly.
My effortless style
And our perfect cadence
It’s enough to make you smile.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every moment with you is so real we’re still together.
Nothing’s gonna get between us now.
I won’t stop. Don’t you worry.
Take a look. I’m coming to you now.
[Chorus]
I’ll be the first to reach tomorrow’s you.
Run to you, run to you, run to you, run to you.
I’ll let you know tomorrow too, I’ll see you.
Run to you, run to you straight to you, run to you.
Run to you, run to you straight to you, run to you.
[Bridge]
Through all the faces in the crowd,
You’re the one I’m running to
No matter where you are.
[Final Chorus]
To make it to tomorrow’s you
Run to you, run to you, run to you, run to you.
You are the only place I’m headed to.
Run to you, run to you straight to you, run to you.
Run to you, run to you straight to you, run to you.
Key Improvements & Stylistic Choices
-
Urgent, Driving Energy: The song creates a sense of unstoppable forward motion. Phrases like “My BPM is climbing higher,” “I’m getting closer every second,” and “I’ll run to you” capture the intensity of devotion.
-
Enhanced Rhythmic Flow: The lyrics are structured with a natural cadence that builds momentum. The repeated “Run to you” chants act as a hypnotic, driving hook. Internal rhymes (e.g., “higher/focus,” “burst/now,” “style/smile”) add musicality.
-
Evocative Imagery:
-
“My BPM is climbing higher” a modern, visceral metaphor for excitement.
-
“Everyone else on Do Not Disturb mode” playful and relatable.
-
“Girl, you take my hoodie ’cause it’s always been you” intimate, specific, and warm.
-
“My effortless style and our perfect cadence” confident and tender.
-
-
Clear Narrative Arc: The song moves from determination (Intro), to rising intensity (Verse 1), to reassurance (Pre-Chorus), to declaration (Chorus), to playful confidence (Verse 2), and finally to an unwavering promise (Bridge & Final Chorus).
-
Effective Repetition: The chorus and pre-chorus rely on repetition (“Run to you,” “straight to you”) to reinforce the song’s central theme of relentless devotion and certainty.
-
Natural English Phrasing: The translation avoids awkward constructions. Lines like “Maybe it’s obvious don’t need a reason why,” “This feeling isn’t something rushed,” “Hold me tight, I’ll take you and fly,” and “You are the only place I’m headed to” sound organic and heartfelt.
-
Universal Connection: The song’s core message running toward someone without hesitation, making them the center of your world is simple and deeply resonant.
-
Balanced Vulnerability and Confidence: The narrator is both assured (“I’ll be the first to reach tomorrow’s you”) and tender (“It’s enough to make you smile”). This balance makes the devotion feel genuine and earned.
