Film ‘The Last 10 Years’ Collaboration Single [Jukjae - I’ll Be Your Star]

The film ‘The Last 10 Years’ portrays the poignant emotions of ‘Matsuri’, diagnosed with a rare disease at twenty and given ten years to live, as she falls in love with ‘Kazuto’, who has lost the will to live. Their love grows as the days pass, while the time they have left together decreases, creating a touching story.

‘I’ll Be Your Star’ was originally an OST for the 2018 drama ‘A-TEEN’ by singer-songwriter So Soo-bin and has been reborn in 2024 as a collaboration single for the film ‘The Last 10 Years’ with Jukjae.

This song starts with Jukjae’s warm voice complemented by a cozy guitar, blending a groovy rhythm of acoustic band sound with lyrics expressing the honest emotions of a man in love. It evokes the warmth of spring as soon as you listen.

Jukjae’s ‘I’ll Be Your Star’ was produced by the producer team AIMING, and the song’s completeness was enhanced with strings by Aim Strings.

Lyrics

#

넌 내게 특별하고 (Neon naege teukbyeolhago)
You’re special to me

내 모든 걸 달아나게 하잖아 (Nae modeun geol daranage hajana)
You make everything in me run wild

난 네 하루에 살고 싶어 (Nan ne harue salgo sipeo)
I want to live in your day

그런 내 모습이 더 (Geureon nae moseubi deo)
That side of me even more

너를 떠오르게 해 (Neoreul tteooreuge hae)
Makes me think of you

너의 곁에 있을게 (Neoui gyeote isseulge)
I’ll be by your side

너의 옆에 있을 땐 (Neoui yeope isseul ttaen)
When I’m next to you

너의 생각 너의 표정도 (Neoui saenggak neoui pyojeongdo)
Your thoughts, your expressions

내겐 의미가 생긴걸 (Naegen uimiga saenggingeol)
They’ve gained meaning for me

너의 밤이 돼 줄게 (Neoui bami dwae julge)
I’ll be your night

마침 어두워질 땐 (Machim eoduwowojil ttaen)
Just when it gets dark

너의 별이 돼 줄게 (Neoui byeori dwae julge)
I’ll be your star

나에게로 사랑은 정해졌어 (Naegeuro sarangeun jeonghaejyeosseo)
For me, love is decided

운명처럼 우린 자꾸 마주치게 돼 (Unmyeongcheoreom urin jakku majuchige dwae)
Like fate, we keep running into each other

난 네 하루에 살고 싶어 (Nan ne harue salgo sipeo)
I want to live in your day

그런 내 모습이 더 (Geureon nae moseubi deo)
That side of me even more

너만 생각나게 해 (Neoman saenggangnage hae)
Makes me think only of you

너의 곁에 있을게 (Neoui gyeote isseulge)
I’ll be by your side

너의 옆에 있을 땐 (Neoui yeope isseul ttaen)
When I’m next to you

너의 생각 너의 표정도 (Neoui saenggak neoui pyojeongdo)
Your thoughts, your expressions

내겐 의미가 생긴걸 (Naegen uimiga saenggingeol)
They’ve gained meaning for me

너의 밤이 돼 줄게 (Neoui bami dwae julge)
I’ll be your night

마침 어두워질 땐 (Machim eoduwowojil ttaen)
Just when it gets dark

너의 별이 돼 줄게 (Neoui byeori dwae julge)
I’ll be your star

가끔씩은 우울하고 (Gakkeumssigeun uwulhago)
Sometimes I’m depressed

피곤하고 입맛 없어 (Pigonhago ipmat eopseo)
Tired and have no appetite

오 그대여 내 맘 알아줄래요 (O geudaeyeo nae mam arajullaeyo)
Oh dear, will you understand my heart?

조금만 더 내게로 (Jogeumman deo naegero)
Come a little closer to me

다가와 줘 힘이 들 때 (Dagawa jwo himi deul ttae)
Come closer when it’s hard

너의 별이 돼 줄게 (Neoui byeori dwae julge)
I’ll be your star

너의 곁에 있을게 (Neoui gyeote isseulge)
I’ll be by your side

너의 옆에 있을 때 (Neoui yeope isseul ttae)
When I’m next to you

우리 이젠 어떤 말로도 (Uri ijen eotteon mallodo)
Now we can’t explain it with any words

설명하기 어려워져 (Seolmyeonghagi eoryeowojyeo)
It’s getting hard to explain

너의 밤이 돼 줄게 (Neoui bami dwae julge)
I’ll be your night

마침 어두워질 땐 (Machim eoduwowojil ttaen)
Just when it gets dark

너의 별이 돼 줄게 (Neoui byeori dwae julge)
I’ll be your star

너의 품에 있을 때 (Neoui pume isseul ttae)
When I’m in your arms

너의 맘에 있을게 (Neoui mame isseulge)
I’ll be in your heart

난 온통 너의 생각에 (Nan ontong neoui saenggage)
I’m entirely in thoughts of you

잠을 설치고 있는 걸 (Jameul seolchigo inneun geol)
I’m tossing and turning

너의 편이 돼 줄게 (Neoui pyeoni dwae julge)
I’ll be on your side

너가 잠에서 깰 땐 (Neoga jameseo kkael ttaen)
When you wake up

너에게 날 기댈래 (Neoege nal gidaellae)
I’ll lean on you

너의 곁에 있을게 (Neoui gyeote isseulge)
I’ll be by your side

너의 별이 돼 줄게 (Neoui byeori dwae julge)
I’ll be your star
