AHOF (아홉) – You’re the Reason Lyrics (English Translation)

[Intro]
Woah oh oh (Hey).
Woah oh oh.
Woah oh oh.
Without a reason just because it’s you.

Woah oh oh (Hey).
Woah oh oh.
Woah oh oh.
No reason at all just because it’s you.

[Verse 1]
Tossing out a small, random question,
Still,
Inside the empty days I used to know,
You were the one who filled me up. Yeah.

[Pre-Chorus]
Just one light word from you is enough.
For you,
I’ll match everything about me
Slowly.

[Verse 2]
When this beautiful air wraps around us both,
I’ll leave a short line to let you know
That I’m on my way to you.

[Pre-Chorus]
My heart is spinning,
Going around in circles
You don’t need to draw a line.
It’s okay if we drift apart.
Because you’re the one who held onto me.

[Verse 3]
Inside the flowing time,
One brief touch of fingertips
My empty seasons
Are all being colored by you.

[Bridge]
I’ll hold you close
Without any reason at all.
My heart is following you.

[Chorus]
Just because it’s you.
Woah oh oh (Hey).
Woah oh oh.
Woah oh oh.
Without a reason just because it’s you.

Woah oh oh (Hey).
Naturally,
Woah oh oh.
Right beside us,
Woah oh oh.
No reason at all just because it’s you.

[Verse 4]
Feeling those heated emotions,
Stacked up with experiences I envied.
Today, strangely,
I take one step closer.
It feels too late to stop
Awkwardly now. Yeah.

[Pre-Chorus]
Instead of saying something certain,
I picked a word to make sure
And blurted it out:
“I was nearby, so I stopped by.”

[Verse 5]
It’s okay if things get confusing,
It’s okay if we’re obvious.
Whatever the words are, as long as it’s you
A perfect harmony, anyone can see.

[Bridge 2]
Tell me now.
Don’t tell me now, yeah.
I’ll come closer slowly.
I’ll fill the vanished parts of my heart
With you
I’ll run to you.

[Verse 6]
When we meet again,
Let’s promise to say this one thing.

[Chorus]
Just because it’s you.
Woah oh oh (Hey).
Woah oh oh.
Woah oh oh.
Without a reason just because it’s you.

Woah oh oh (Hey).
Naturally,
Woah oh oh.
Right beside us,
Woah oh oh.
No reason at all just because it’s you.

[Outro]
I promise I’ll be there first.
Wherever and whenever we are, I know. Oh-oh.
I’ll reach out my hand, naturally,
Beyond the entire universe
I’ll find you.

La la la la la la la la la la.
La la la la la la la la.
Guess it all comes back to you.

La la la la la la la la la la.
We’re like fate
Unchanging.
Just because it’s you.

Key Improvements & Stylistic Choices

Warm, Gentle Tone: The language is soft and sincere. Phrases like “You were the one who filled me up,” “I’ll hold you close,” and “My heart is following you” create a sense of quiet devotion.
Enhanced Rhythmic Flow: The lyrics are structured with a natural, gentle cadence. The “Woah oh oh” refrains act as a soothing, melodic anchor throughout the song.
Evocative Imagery:
- “Inside the empty days I used to know, you were the one who filled me up” a beautiful image of loneliness transformed.
- “My empty seasons are all being colored by you” poetic and vivid.
- “Beyond the entire universe I’ll find you” a cosmic promise.
- “We’re like fate unchanging” a classic, romantic comparison.
Clear Emotional Arc: The song moves from the simple realization of love (Intro), to the decision to confess (Verse 1 & 2), to the deepening of feeling (Verse 3 & 4), to the moment of action (Bridge), and finally to a promise of forever (Outro).
Effective Repetition: The chorus’s repeated phrase “Just because it’s you” and “Without a reason” reinforce the song’s central theme love that doesn’t need justification. The “La la la” outro adds a sense of lightness and inevitability.
Natural English Phrasing: The translation avoids awkward constructions. Lines like “I was nearby, so I stopped by,” “It’s okay if things get confusing,” “When we meet again, let’s promise to say this one thing,” and “I’ll be there first” sound organic and heartfelt.
Balanced Vulnerability and Certainty: The narrator admits to confusion (“It’s okay if things get confusing”) while being completely certain about the person (“Whatever the words are, as long as it’s you”). This balance makes the love feel real and grounded.
Universal Theme: The song captures the universal experience of loving someone so completely that you don’t need a reason they just are the one.
