Rap Monster (RM) - 'Life' Lyrics (With English Translation)


[RM] : 술 한 잔 딱 들이키고 느꼈어 I had a drink and I felt

​

산다는 건 외로움을 알아감의 연속 Living is a continuation of knowing loneliness

​

주변에 사람들이 얼마나 있건 없건 No matter how many people are around me or not,

​

내 안의 작은 나는 언제나 외로웠어 The little me inside me was always lonely

​

외로움의 반대말은 왜 없을까 Why isn't there an opposite word for loneliness?

​

사람은 죽을 때까지 안 외로울 때가 없어서일지 몰라 Maybe it's because people don't feel no loneliness until they die

​

주변이 시끌벅적하게 넘치는 듯하다가도 Even if it seems like surroundings are overflowing with noise,

​

혼자여야 하는 순간이 반드시 찾아와 The moment I have to be alone will come

​

Yeah that’s a life

​

우린 위험 속에 살어 We live in danger

​

이 아름다운 세상을 볼 수 있게 된 댓가로 In exchange for seeing this beautiful world 방탄조끼도 가로등도 튼튼한 차도 Even bulletproof vests, street lamps, and strong cars

​

우릴 완벽히 죽음으로부터 지켜주진 못하죠 Can't protect us from death completely

​

모두가 태어난 순간부터 From the moment everyone was born,

​

죽음을 담보로 하기에 삶은 더 아름다운 것 Life is more beautiful because it uses death as collateral

​

빛도 어둠이 있어야 진정 빛이듯이 Just like light can be truly light when it's dark,

​

거친 폭풍우 뒤 햇살 비치듯이

Like the sunshine after a storm

​

Life, fall in love

삶은 사람에 상처받고 Life is hurt by people

​

바람에 외로워하고 And lonely by the wind

​

We wanna be right but always wrong 우린 틀리기 위해 태어난 걸까 Are we born to be wrong?

​

어쩜 삶이란 그런 걸까 Is life like that?

​

(내일은 과연 어떨지 우린 평생 모르지) (We never know what tomorrow will be like)

​

(이 건물이 무너진다 해도 피할 수가 없지) (Even if this building collapses, we can't avoid it.)

​

We tryna be bright but always dark 살 만큼 산 것 같아도 Even if I think I've lived enough,

​

아직도 모르지

I still don't know

​

세상은 한 장의 데칼코마니 The world is a piece of décalcomanie

​

내 편 같았던 놈이 더 악랄한 적으로 변하곤 하지 The guy who was on my side turns into a more vicious enemy

​

종이 접듯 관계를 접어버리면 끝나는 일 It's over when you fold a relationship like a piece of paper

​

걘 순식간에 반대편에서 날 비웃고 있지 He's laughing at me on the other side in an instant

​

아주 똑같이, 허나 아이야 화낼 필요 없어 Exactly the same, but you don't have to be mad

​

어느 부모는 돈 앞에 서면 자식도 없어 Some parents have no children in front of money 우린 타올라야 해. 세상이 너무 차가워서 We need to burn, the world is so cold

​

누구도 얼릴 수 없게 내가 날 해할지언정 Even if we hurt ourselves, so that no one can freeze us,

​

어쩜 맞고 틀린 것 같은 건 없을 지 몰라 I don't know if there's such thing as right or wrong 하지만 우리가 언제나 배우게 됐던 건 But what we've always learned is

​

누군갈 밟고, 잡고, 지우고, 미워하는 것 Stepping on, grabbing, erasing, and hating someone

​

Fuck all the peace and love

알아 그건 성공의 천적인 걸 I know they're the natural enemy of success

​

너무 당연하듯이 이치인 양 떠 들려지는 저 인용구들이 Those quotes that are spoken so naturally as if they're the truth

​

날 더 슬프게 해 make me sadder

그럼 뭐해 나 역시 말뿐인데

But what can I do? I'm just talk too 한낱 누군갈 스쳐가는 바람 뿐인데

Just the wind that passes by someone

​

Life, fall in love

​

삶은 사람에 상처받고 Life is hurt by people

​

바람에 외로워하고 And lonely by the wind

​

We wanna be right but always wrong 우린 틀리기 위해 태어난 걸까 Are we born to be wrong?

​

어쩜 삶이란 그런 걸까 Is life like that?

​

살기 위해 태어난 걸까 Are we born to live?

​

죽기 위해 태어난 걸까 Are we born to die?

​

살기 위해 태어난 걸까 Are we born to live?

​

죽기 위해 태어난 걸까 Are we born to die?

​

죽기 위해 사는 걸까 Are we living to die?

​

살기 위해 죽는 걸까 Are we dying to live?

​

내 이름 위에 붙은 명찰 The name tag on my name

​

그건 삶일까 Is it life?

​

죽음일까

Is it death?

​

Who knows..

​

Life, fall in love

삶은 사람에 상처받고 Life is hurt by people

​

바람에 외로워하고 And lonely by the wind

​

We wanna be right but always wrong 우린 틀리기 위해 태어난 걸까 Are we born to be wrong?

​

어쩜 삶이란 그런 걸까 Is life like that?

​

(내일은 과연 어떨지 우린 평생 모르지) (We never know what tomorrow will be like)

​

(이 건물이 무너진다 해도 피할 수가 없지) (Even if this building collapses, we can't avoid it.)

​

We tryna be bright but always dark 살 만큼 산 것 같아도 Even if I think I've lived enough,

​

아직도 모르지

I still don't know
