English Translation

[Micky] This song is dedicated to our neighbors.

[BOA] Once again listen carefully.
[DANA] In that shadowed place,
[BOA/DANA] the sound of sighs can be heard.
[JAEJOONG] Each weary day is hard.
[SHIWON] Even the thought of tomorrow coming
[JAEJOONG/SHIWON] is scary because of it.
[TAEYUN] So you don’t feel like you're thrown away in a dark world
[SUNDAY] and are alone…
[YUNHO] Even the cold wind that bites the skin,
[KYUHYUN] together we will block it.

There's only love. Though what I have is small,
miraculous things will happen if we are together.
It's only our love. What brings back a pure smile to your shadowed face
is the great strength of our small love.

[JESSICA] Please take a hold of my hand first.
[REOWOOK] In your still young eyes,
[RYEOWOOK/HYUNJIN] tears cannot be permitted.
[KANGTA] Burdened innocent shoulders…
[YURI/HYOYEON] The heavy truth
[EETEUK/TIFFANY] makes you lose your child-like dreams.

[DONGHAE/YOUNA] So you don’t feel like you're thrown away in a dark world [HEECHUL/SUNNY] and are alone…
[YESUNG] Even the cold wind that bites the skin,
[HANKYUNG/SOOYOUNG] together we will block it.

There's only love. Though what I have is small,
miraculous things will happen if we are together.
It's only our love. What brings back a pure smile to your shadowed face
is the great strength of our small love.

[LINA] Don't walk by as though you don’t see me.
[KANGIN] I am waiting for your touch.
[RI-IN] Like a bright light,
[JUNSU] let's share this kind of love.

[EUNHYUK/KIBUM/STEPHANIE/SHINDONG]
It’s become harsh, this whole world has become desolate.
It wants to breath. You who are mine, I won't let you feel like you are alone now.

[STEPHANIE/KIBUM] So I pray. God! Every single moment, an unfillable emptiness!
Weak souls stretch out their hands towards us! Please, hold your hand and everybody will be happy.

There's only love. Though what I have is small,
miraculous things will happen if we are together.
It's only our love. What brings back a pure smile to your shadowed face
is the great strength of our small love.

There's only love.([KYUHYUN] only love) With just love ([YESUNG] with just love) this place we will live in, ([LINA] this place we will live in)
even though it is hard, ([JUNSU] it's hard) it is yet a beautiful world. ([JAEJOONG] world)
It's only our love. ([RYEOWOOK] Oh~)Though a hard ([CHANGMIN/TAEYUN] though a hard) situation might be met,
there is you who will extend your hand. ([KYUHYUN] you're there) [SUNGMIN] A warm [SUNGMIN/SEOHYUN] world, it will be.

Director: James Cameron
Genre: Action/ Adventure
Language: English
Release Date: 17 December 2009

Avatar is the story of an ex-Marine who finds himself thrust into hostilities on an alien planet filled with exotic life forms. As an Avatar, a human mind in an alien body, he finds himself torn between two worlds, in a desperate fight for his own survival and that of the indigenous people. More than ten years in the making, Avatar marks Cameron's return to feature directing since helming 1997's Titanic, the highest grossing film of all time and winner of eleven Oscars including Best Picture. WETA Digital, renowned for its work in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and King Kong, will incorporate new intuitive CGI technologies to transform the environments and characters into photorealistic 3D imagery that will transport the audience into the alien world rich with imaginative vistas, creatures and characters.
