## Description

* Korean

제104회 전국체육대회 및 제43회 전국장애인체육대회 주제곡!
올림픽, 월드컵 등의 글로벌 스포츠 이벤트에 버금가는, 국내 최대 규모의 스포츠 이벤트 K-POP 주제곡 프로젝트.
개최지 전남의 아이덴티티와, 경쟁과 화합이라는 체전의 아이덴티티를 융합.
하우스와 국악이 적절히 어우러진 퓨전 하우스 기반의 울림과 흐름의 노래 The Wave.

대회의 가치를 담은 테마를 통해 대회 주제의 의미를 공유하고, 국제 스포츠 이벤트와 같은 위상으로 성장하고자 하는 의지를 담고 있으며, K-pop 팬덤 뿐만 아니라 넓은 층의 대중, 특히 젊은 층을 위한 대중 문화 컨텐츠로서, 이번 대회의 가치 전달을 목표로 하고 있다.

Cause I throw my body on this wave,
Be brave

The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
The Wave, The Wave, The Wave

울린다 내 가슴이 Uh
터질 듯 내 심장이 Uh
결승선을 향해 미친 듯이 난 RUN

울려 퍼질 함성 소린
이곳 모두를 위한 것

승자와 패자 우린 모두
값진 결과 속에 주인공

시간이 멈춘 듯한 긴장감 속
눈 깜짝할 순간 그 몇 초의 시간 속
최고를 향해 최선을 다해

바라고 바랐던 승리를
거머쥘 순간 Let's go

The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
흐르고 있는 시간 속에
The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
흘러가 버릴 결과 속에

모든 걸 앞질러 꿈꿔온 승리를 향해
The Wave (Wave)
The Wave (Wave)
The Wave (Wave)

애써 막 달래봐도 눌러봐도
터져버릴 듯한 내 심장은 (빼꼼)
튀어나올 듯이 마치 달려갈 듯이
자꾸 자꾸만 뛰어대고 So brave

용감이란 무기로 날 무장해 (Yha)
목표를 향한 내 시선은 비장해 (Ho)
아무도 내게 닿을 수 없게 (얼쑤)
두려움 따위는 다 뒤로해 (좋다)

시간이 멈춘듯한 긴장감 속
눈 깜짝할 순간 그 몇 초의 시간 속
최고를 향해 최선을 다해

바라고 바랐던 승리를
거머쥘 순간 Let's go

The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
흐르고 있는 시간 속에
The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
흘러가 버릴 결과 속에

모든 걸 앞질러 꿈꿔온 승리를 향해
The Wave (Wave)
The Wave (Wave)
The Wave (Wave)

The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
The Wave, The Wave, The Wave

저 파도가 외치는 부름처럼 (Hey)
이 대지가 울리는 울음처럼 (Hey)

넘치는 Passion, 걱정 따윈 없어
I will just run

손꼽아 기다렸던 매일 밤 꿈꿔왔던 (Hey)
미친 듯 바라왔던 매 순간 그려왔던 (Hey)

이 파도가 나를 이끌어준 곳
이곳이 내가 바라왔던 순간인걸

수많은 날이 지나고 흘러간대도 (Hey)
내 머릿속에 (Hey) 기억될 (Hey)
명장면인걸 (Awoo)

The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
흐르고 있는 시간 속에
The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
흘러가버릴 결과 속에

모든 걸 앞질러 꿈꿔온 승리를 향해
The Wave (Wave)
The Wave (Wave)
The Wave (Wave)

The Wave, The Wave (The wave)
The Wave, The Wave (The wave)
The Wave, The Wave (Oh huh)
The Wave, The Wave, The Wave

## Translation

Cause I throw my body on this wave,
Be brave

The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
The Wave, The Wave, The Wave

My heart is throbbing, Uh
My heart is going to explode, Uh
I run like crazy to the finish line

The shouts which will spread
Are for everyone here

Both the winners and the defeated
Are all protagonists in a valuable result

In the tension when even time stops
In the blink of an eye, in a fleeting moment
Heading for the best, I'll do my best

The victory I wished for
The moment I take it, Let's go!

The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
In the time flowing by
The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
In the result that will flow away

Ahead of everyone to the victory I wished for
The Wave (Wave)
The Wave (Wave)
The Wave (Wave)

Even if I try to calm down and hold back
My heart is going to explode (peep)
As if it's popping out and rushing like crazy
Running and running again, so brave

I'm armed with a weapon of bravery (Yeah)
I stare into the goal with a determination (Woo)
So that no one can reach me (Wow)
Leave all the fears behind (Nice)

In the tension when even time stops
In the blink of an eye, in a fleeting moment
Heading for the best, I'll do my best

The victory I wished for
The moment I take it, Let's go!

The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
In the time flowing by
The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
In the result that will flow away

Ahead of everyone to the victory I wished for
The Wave (Wave)
The Wave (Wave)
The Wave (Wave)

The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
The Wave, The Wave, The Wave

Like the call of the wave (Hey)
Like the cry of the Earth (Hey)

Full of passion, without worries
I will just run

What I was waiting for, what I dreamed of every night (Hey)
All the moments I was wishing for like crazy (Hey)

The place where the wave led me
This place is what I wished for

Even as the countless days pass by (Hey)
In my head (Hey) I will remember (Hey)
This great scene (Awoo)

The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
In the time flowing by
The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
In the result that will flow away

Ahead of everyone to the victory I wished for
The Wave (Wave)
The Wave (Wave)
The Wave (Wave)

The Wave, The Wave (The wave)
The Wave, The Wave (The wave)
The Wave, The Wave (Oh huh)
The Wave, The Wave, The Wave
