BTS (방탄소년단) - 'Tomorrow' Lyrics (With English Translation)

[Suga] : 같은 날, 같은 달 Same day, same month

​

24/7 매번 반복되는 매 순간 24/7 every moment repeats itself

​

어중간한 내 삶 My uncertain life


20 대의 백수는 내일이 두려워 참 A unemployed man in his 20s who's afraid of tomorrow

​

웃기지 어릴 땐 뭐든 가능할거라 믿었었는데 Funny, I used to believe anything was possible when I was a kid

​

하루를 벌어 하루를 사는게 빠듯하단 걸 느꼈을 때 When I realized that it's hard to earn enough to live on

​

내내 기분은 컨트롤 비트, My mood is like Control beat,

​

계속해서 다운되네 It keeps going down

​

매일매일이 Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V Everyday is like Ctrl + C, Ctrl +V

​

반복 되네

It repeats

​

갈길은 먼데 There's a long way to go

​

왜 난 제자리니 Why am I standing in place?

​

답답해 소리쳐도 Even if I scream in frustration

​

허공의 메아리 It only echoes in the air

​

내일은 오늘보다는 뭔가 다르길 I hope tomorrow will be something different than today

​

난 애원할 뿐야

That's all I beg for

​

[Vocal line] : 니 꿈을 따라가 like breaker Follow your dream like breaker

​

부서진대도 oh better Even if you break, oh better

​

니 꿈을 따라가 like breaker Follow your dream like breaker

​

무너진대도 oh Even if you collapse oh

​

뒤로 달아나지마 never

Don't run back, never

​

해가 뜨기 전 새벽이 가장 어두우니까 Because it's darkest before the dawn

​

먼 훗날에 넌 지금의 널 절대로 잊지 마 In the distant future, never forget who you are now

지금 니가 어디 서 있든 No matter where you're standing right now,

​

잠시 쉬어가는 것일 뿐 It's only a brief rest along the way

​

포기하지 마 알잖아

Don't give up, you know it

​

너무 멀어지진 마 tomorrow Don't get too far away, tomorrow

​

멀어지진 마 tomorrow Don't get far away, tomorrow

​

너무 멀어지진 마 tomorrow

Don't get too far away, tomorrow

​

[RM] : 우리가 그토록 기다린 내일도 어느새 Even the tomorrow we’ve waited so much for, before we know it,


눈을 떠보면 When I open my eyes

​

어제의 이름이 돼 It becomes the name of yesterday

​

내일은 오늘이 되고 Tomorrow becomes today

​

오늘은 어제가 되고 Today becomes yesterday

​

내일은 어제가 되어 Tomorrow becomes yesterday

​

내 등 뒤에 서있네 Standing behind my back

​

삶은 살아지는게 아니라 살아내는 것, Life is not about living, but surviving

그렇게 살아내다가 Living like that

​

언젠간 사라지는 것 Disappearing one day

​

멍 때리다간 너, 쓸려가 If you space out, you'll be swept away

​

If you ain’t no got the guts, trust

어차피 다 어제가 되고 말 텐데 It all ends up becoming yesterday

​

하루하루가 뭔 의미 겠어 So what does each day mean?

​

행복해지고, 독해지고 싶었는데 I wanted to be happy and strong

​

왜 자꾸 약해지기만 하지 계속 Why do I keep becoming weaker?

​

나 어디로 가, Where am I going?

​

여기로 가고 저기로 가도 Even if I go here, even if I go there

​

난 항상 여기로 와 I always come back here

​

그리 흘러가긴 하겠지 어디론가, I'll flow somewhere

​

끝이 있긴 할까 이 미로가

Will there be an end to this maze?

​

갈길은 먼데 There's a long way to go

​

왜 난 제자리니 Why am I standing in place?

​

답답해 소리쳐도 Even if I scream in frustration

​

허공의 메아리 It only echoes in the air

​

내일은 오늘보다는 뭔가 다르길 I hope tomorrow will be something different than today

​

난 애원할 뿐야

That's all I beg for


[Vocal line] : 니 꿈을 따라가 like breaker Follow your dream like breaker

​

부서진대도 oh better Even if you break, oh better

​

니 꿈을 따라가 like breaker Follow your dream like breaker

​

무너진대도 oh Even if you collapse oh

​

뒤로 달아나지마 never

Don't run back, never


해가 뜨기 전 새벽이 가장 어두우니까 Because it's darkest before the dawn

​

먼 훗날에 넌 지금의 널 절대로 잊지 마 In the distant future, never forget who you are now

지금 니가 어디 서 있든 No matter where you're standing right now,

​

잠시 쉬어가는 것일 뿐 It’s only a brief rest along the way

​

포기하지 마 알잖아

Don't give up, you know it

​

너무 멀어지진 마 tomorrow Don't get too far away, tomorrow


[j-hope] : Tomorrow, 계속 걸어 Tomorrow, keep walking

​

멈추기엔 우린 아직 너무 어려 We're still too young to stop

​

[j-hope, Jungkook] : Tomorrow, 문을 열어 Tomorrow, open the door

​

닫기엔 많은 것들이 눈에 보여 We see too many things to close it

​

[j-hope] : 어두운 밤이 지나면 When the dark night passes

​

밝은 아침도 있듯이, Just as there is a bright morning too

​

알아서 내일이 오면 When tomorrow naturally comes

​

빛이 비추니, As the light shines

​

걱정은 하지 말아줘 Please don't worry

​

이건 정지가 아닌 This is not a stop

​

니 삶을 쉬어가는 잠시 동안의 일시 정지 But a brief pause in your life to take a rest

​

엄지를 올리며 Raise your thumb

​

니 자신을 재생해 and restart yourself

​

모두 보란 듯이

So everyone can see

​

[Vocal line] : 니 꿈을 따라가 like breaker Follow your dream like breaker

​

부서진대도 oh better Even if you break, oh better

​

니 꿈을 따라가 like breaker Follow your dream like breaker

​

무너진대도 oh Even if you collapse oh

​

뒤로 달아나지마 never

Don't run back, never

​

해가 뜨기 전 새벽이 가장 어두우니까 Because it's darkest before the dawn

​

먼 훗날에 넌 지금의 널 절대로 잊지 마 In the distant future, never forget who you are now

지금 니가 어디 서 있든 No matter where you're standing right now,

​

잠시 쉬어가는 것일 뿐 It’s only a brief rest along the way

​

포기하지 마 알잖아

Don't give up, you know it

​

너무 멀어지진 마 tomorrow Don't get too far away, tomorrow

​

멀어지진 마 tomorrow Don't get far away, tomorrow

​

너무 멀어지진 마 tomorrow

Don't get too far away, tomorrow
