BTS (방탄소년단) - 'Merry Go Round' Lyrics (With English Translation)

[Jung Kook] : I wish that I could tell you that it's over (Over)

I wish that I could walk away from pain

[V] : My life is like a broken roller coaster

But maybe I'm the only one to blame

[Jimin, Jung Kook & Jin] : I can't get off this merry-go-round

It spins me around (Around, around)

I do my best, but I can't slow down

This merry-go-round

[V, Jimin, Jung Kook, Jin] : And I, I can't get off of this ride

(I can't get off of this ride)

I try, this happens every time

(I can't get off of this ride)

[SUGA] : 어른이 된 것 같은 기분이지만

I feel like I’ve become an adult, but

고민은 뭐 여전하지

My worries are still the same

매일 같은 일상 속 회전목마나

In the same daily routine, like a carousel

쳇바퀴나 매한가지 (매한가지)

Or a hamster wheel, it’s all the same (all the same)

Oh, 답이 없는 질문

Oh, questions with no answers

미궁 속에서의 질주

Racing within a maze

다들 괜찮은 척하며

Everyone pretending they’re okay

웃고 있지 모두 다, 다, 다, 다

All of them smiling, everyone, everyone

[Jimin] : I wish that I could tell you that it's over (Over)

I wish that I could walk away from pain

[Jin] : My life is like a broken roller coaster

But maybe I'm the only one to blame

[V] : I can't get off this merry-go-round

It spins me around (Around, around)

[Jungkook] : I do my bеst, but I can't slow down

This merry-go-round

[Jin, V, Jimin, Jung Kook] : And I, I can't get off of this ride

(I can't gеt off of this ride)

I try, this happens every time

(I can't get off of this ride)

[j-hope] : Spinnin' up, down

Just 'round and 'round

I'm fallin' apart

Still bound to ground (Woah)

멈출 수 없는 굴레 속

Trapped in a cycle I can’t escape

내 동심이 소리치잖아 (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

My inner child is crying out, you know (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

나 원 없이 탈만큼 탔으니

I’ve ridden it as much as one could ride, with nothing left to want

*Essentially saying: “I’ve had my fill of it.”

Please take me out, ma

[RM] : 침대는 나의 관, my bed is my coffin

My bed is my coffin, my bed is my coffin

어쩜 내 세상은 거대한 caffeine

Maybe my world is one giant caffeine

매일 널 죽으러 가, 꿈을 끌 순 없나?

Every day, I go to you to die, can’t I turn off this dream?

멈출 수 없는 춤을 추고 있잖아

I’m dancing a dance I can’t stop

또 생각에, 생각에, 생각에 생각

Again, thoughts on thoughts on thoughts

생각하지 말잔 생각을 해 난

I’m thinking about not thinking

빙글 또 빙글 행복하니?

Round and round—are you happy?

웃어줘 끝까지

Please smile for me until the end
