Genius English Translations
Jessi (제시) - Star (English Translation)
[Chorus]
Everyday I see the stars
Shining bright into my life
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
Fought this battle on my own
Found my strength in love I feel
Everything I do is real for you
For you

[Verse 1]
I never had a plan to plant the seed
I just followed the rhythm of my heart
And went with the beat
I don’t even know what’s coming for me next
Right behind the hill
But i just went and climbed that bitch
Like I’m Jack and Jill
I first found my love for this in the church choir
Was only 11 playin’ the piano, didn’t think I’d get far
Ma mama said one day u gonna be a star
And that’s all I needed to hear
I left my hometown with a dollar and a dream
I gathered my courage and crossed the pacific
At the age of 15
Far from home
Landed in the motherland thinkin’ it’d be better
Just to find out
I’m living in a cold world with a thin sweater
Summers hot as hell but still it got me freezing
Alone in my room asking where I am but nobody knows
Don’t worry ma, told you I was cool
Those white lies were for you
[Chorus]
Everyday I see the stars
Shining bright into my life
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
Fought this battle on my own
Found my strength in love I feel
Everything I do is real for you
For you

[Verse 2]
Environment Changed
Everyday a new experience
You think my Korean’s bad now?
You should’ve heard me back then, that shit was serious
I thought they were strange
But they thought I was stranger every time I passed by
But still
I just did me and walked around with my head up high
You can see the contrast; my tan skin, my hair light
And plus my gold hoop rings make me shine bright
Torn jeans yeah that’s my design down to every stitch
I refuse to be fake I’d rather be that bitch
You could blame it on the CDs my brother bought me
Lauryn hill, Yoon Mirae and the new Ashanti
Road to success but my vision foggy
Thought the rain would never stop
But my brothers changed the forecast
My daddy bought me my first car
And my drive is what got me far
Yeah I know I ain’t perfect
Made a lot of mistakes thus far
If I had to do this all over again, there’d be no other way
I’ll never change this is Jessi everyday
[Chorus]
Everyday I see the stars
Shining bright into my life
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
Fought this battle on my own
Found my strength in love I feel
Everything I do is real for you
For you

[Outro]
Love if you love
Ima Love if you don’t
Ima love if you won’t
Ima love Ima love when I see you

Love if you love
Ima Love if you don’t
Ima love if you won’t
Ima love ima love when I see you
