'Background' Lyrics with English Translation - Jin (진) of BTS (Echo Album)


[Jin] : 아직 난 거기 살아

I still live there


너의 세상이 다 나였던 계절에

In the season when your whole world was me


나 홀로 되뇌는 말

The words I repeat alone


다시 돌아간다면 무슨 말을 할까

If I could go back, what would I say?


널 불러도

Even if I call out to you


다시 메아리처럼 울려 날 해쳐

It echoes back like a voice that hurts me


기다림도

Even waiting


내겐 사랑이라고 애써

I force myself to believe it’s love


별 하나 없는 이 까만 밤

On this black night without a single star


불 꺼진 무대 위로

Over the stage where the lights have gone out


늦은 잔상처럼 남아

I remain like a lingering afterimage


아직 헤매고 있어

Still wandering


Maybe in another place, another time


되돌릴 수 있다면

If I could turn back time


그땐 곁에 내가 있을까

Would I be by your side then?


널 기다리는 나

The me who's waiting for you


I'll be here in the background


다른 색깔로 그린

Painted in different colors,


서로 물든 채 뒤섞여 가던 꿈

Dreams that blended together as we stained each other


점점 잊혀진다는 게

The fact that they’re slowly being forgotten


때론 미칠 것 같지 But I still choose you

Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy, but I still choose you


네게 전부

To you, everything


과거가 돼버린 내 흔적 다 해져

All the traces of me that became just the past are worn out


기다림도

Even waiting


사랑이라 꽤 할만해져

Has started to feel enough like love


별 하나 없는 이 까만 밤

On this black night without a single star


불 꺼진 무대 위로

Over the stage where the lights have gone out


늦은 잔상처럼 남아

I remain like a lingering afterimage


아직 헤매고 있어

Still wandering


Maybe in another place, another time


되돌릴 수 있다면

If I could turn back time


그땐 곁에 내가 있을까

Would I be by your side then?


널 기다리는 나

The me who's waiting for you


I'll be here in the background


Here in the background


모든 이야기가 끝난 밤

On the night when every story ended,


불 꺼진 무대 위로

On the stage where the lights have gone out,


늦은 잔상처럼 남아

I remain like a late afterimage


또 널 헤매고 있어

Still wandering, once again, in search of you


Maybe in another place, another time


되돌릴 수 있다면

If I could turn back time


그땐 곁에 내가 있을까

Would I be by your side then?


널 기다리는 나

The me who's waiting for you


I'll be here in the background
