작사 정용화, 작곡 정용화 Music and Lyrics by Jung Yonghwa
아이의 밝은 미소 축 쳐진 너의 어깰 피게 해
아이의 맑은 눈빛 얼어붙은 도시를 녹이네
*
수많은 천사와 별들이 내려와 니 맘을 밝혀주는 이 순간
수많은 얘기와 사랑을 나누며 앞길을 밝혀주는 이 순간
Like a child Just like heaven 세상에 퍼질 멜로디
Like a child Just like heaven 널 웃게 만들 멜로디
찬란한 물결처럼 뜨는 태양처럼 이 아름다운 선율들
펼쳐진 초원처럼 지는 노을처럼 이 아름다운 paradise
겁먹은 니 목소리 슬픈 듯 찌푸린 너의 얼굴
어느새 사라진 꿈 악몽을 꾸듯 울부짖는 너
*반복
Like a child Just like heaven
시끄러운 세상 속에
Like a child Just like heaven
상처를 감싸줄 멜로디
찬란한 물결처럼 뜨는
태양처럼 이 아름다운 선율들
펼쳐진 초원처럼 지는
노을처럼 이 아름다운 paradise
Like a child Just like heaven
세상에 퍼질 멜로디
Like a child Just like heaven
널 웃게 만들 멜로디
Translation (italics: originally in English)
A child's bright smile
Opens up your sagged shoulders
A child's pure eyes
Melts a city frozen over
*
Countless angels and stars descend to brighten your heart, in this moment
Countless stories and loves are shared to brighten your path, in this moment
Like a child Just like heaven
A melody that will spread to the world
Like a child Just like heaven
A melody that will make you smile
Like the glistening waves, like the rising sun
These beautiful melodies
Like the open meadow, like the setting sun
This beautiful paradise
Your frightened voice
With a tinge of sadness, the frowning face of yours
A dream that has disappeared
You cry out loud, as if in a nightmare
*Repeat
Like a child Just like heaven
In this clamorous world
Like a child Just like heaven
A melody that will shield your scars
Like the glistening waves, like the rising sun
These beautiful melodies
Like the open meadow, like the setting sun
This beautiful paradise
Like a child Just like heaven
A melody that will spread to the world
Like a child Just like heaven
A melody that will make you smile

So the song is about children, but not only about children.
In the few occasions that Yonghwa was seen with little children, the scenes were oh soooo beautiful. I've read fans say he'd made a wonderful dad. I agreed then and this song just consolidates my gut feeling that Yonghwa really likes children.
And he really knows what's magical about children. At this age?! If I'm allowed to interpret more on the lyrics, children are heavenly, but that's good music too. What a great melody can do! He's openly said many times he hopes his music can be comfort to his fans. He basically elaborates on what effects he hopes his music to have in this song. I think he means great music does that but I'm sure he wants his music to be able to do all that. Too bad I'm not one tenth as good as him in words to describe how I like his music and poetry. I've heard other good music and like other singers too but falling for his music is a very special experience. I don't know how and why this obsession started. But struggling to understand (thanks to fans around who translate info and all) how he fights for his dream, how he shows us his pieces of heart in the music and words... It's not an exaggeration at all that I'm positively affected. The world seems a better place since I knew JYH.
PS Yonghwa is very mature for his age, but he has a child's pure heart in many ways. -
This song is one of my favorite in their album ^^ thanks for the English translation :)

He definitely nailed it this time with this song. He explained how he got healed by watching little children playing when he was stressed out and I agreed with him 100%. I was just so amazed how well he portrayed his feeling into the music.

I don't know if he came up with the melody first or the lyrics but they are so perfectly in tune, a symbiotic harmony. When he sings, Like a Child~~~~Just Like Heaven~~~~, my heart soars every time. It is a perfect song to begin my days with. But I can't help but wonder, did he write this song for himself? Does he need a refuge where he can escape from the world's noise? I am glad to know that he has his music to keep him. May he always keep his longing to be a child.
His words are extra poetic this time!... XD
