BTS (방탄소년단) - ‘흔한 연습생의 크리스마스 (A Typical Trainee's Christmas)’ Lyrics




BTS (방탄소년단) - '흔한 연습생의 크리스마스 (A Typical Trainee's Christmas)' Lyrics (With English Translation)


[Jungkook] : Last Christmas I gave you my heart


[RM] : (I gave you my heart)


[Jungkook] : But the very next day you gave it away


[RM] : (You gave it away) [Jin] : This year to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special

[Suga] : 3년전부터 사장님은 무심하셨고 For three years, our boss has been indifferent

남들 다 하는 회식 한 번 한 적 없었죠 We've never had a company dinner like others all have

밖은 축제 분위기 It's like a festival outside

우린 남자 여럿이서 군대 분위기 We men are packed together like we're in the military

올해도 또 홀로 연습 아니면 방구석 This year again, we practice alone or in our rooms

구태여 뭘 해도 안 생겨요 우린 솔로 No matter what we do, we can't seem to get a girlfriend, we're single

인데 우린 사장님 솔로대첩 같은 건 안 바래요

Boss, we don't want something like a singles meeting/meet up

원하는 건 회식 한 번

What we want is to have a company get together once

[RM] : 도저히 참을 수 없어 이젠 심하게 외로워서 I can't stand it, I'm so lonely now

12월의 한가운데 벌써 입술이 텄어 My lips are already chapped in the middle of December

요즘 맞춰본 적도 없는데 떼 버릴까 They haven't met with (kissed) any others these days, should I just take them off?

여자친구도 데뷔도 지금은 너무 머니까 Both girlfriend and debut are too far away

하 아이돌도 결혼하는 판에 남녀연습생부동석? Ha idols getting married when male and female trainees are separated

이게 말이나 돼 It doesn't make sense

사랑을 못하는데 어찌 사랑 가사를 써 How can I write love lyrics when I can't love?

지금이라도 연애를 권장해보겠어 나라면 더

I'd recommended dating now for me

[V] : (오래요) 회사에선 연습하래요 (For a long time) The company says to practice

[Jungkook, Jimin] : (올해도) 연습으로 날을 지샜죠 (Even this year) I spend all day practicing

[V] : (우네요) 아직도 난 연습생인데 (Crying) I'm still a trainee

내년엔 꼭 데뷔할래

I want to definitely debut next year

[RM] : 여기 똥똥똥 hey 저기 똥똥똥 Dung dung dung here, hey dung dung dung there

이건 눈이 아니여 똥똥똥! This isn't snow, it's dung dung dung!

저것 좀 봐 하늘에서 하얀 똥이 내려와 Look at that, white dung falling from the sky

하느님도 참 무슨 매너가 없어 매너가 God has no manners

내 모태솔로 친구 영수도 솔로대첩을 가는데 Even my friend Yeong-soo, who has always been single, is going to the singles meet

나도 그 날은 좀 쉬고 눈사람 손이라도 잡을래 I want to rest that day too and hold a snowman's hand

회사도 사장님도 모두 다 미워 I hate both the company and the boss

나도 엄마가 보고싶어

I miss my mom too

[Jungkook] : 다가오는 두번째 크리스마스, The second coming Christmas,

작년엔 뭘 했었는지 기억도 안 나 I don't even remember what I did last year

그 정도로 재미없었던 기념일을 보냈었던 나 That's how boring that anniversary was

내 이름은 전정국이 그리고 다른 이름은 막내 My name is Jeon Jungkook and my other name is maknae (the youngest)

그렇다면 애교를 부려야지 중3답게 So I have to act cute like a 9th grader 사장님 당신은 빅히트를 지키는 가장님 Boss, you're the head of BigHit

과장님, 차장님도 집에서 쉬신다던디 I heard even you're taking a rest at home

(Oh my god!)


나 못 놀면 진짜 막 울어 If I can't play, I'll cry

안 되면 회사 찾아가 문 앞에서 딱 꿇어

If that doesn't work, I'll go to the company and kneel in front of the door

[V, Jungkook] : (오래요) 회사에선 연습하래요 (For a long time) The company says to practice

[Jungkook, Jimin] : (올해도) 연습으로 날을 지샜죠 (Even this year) I spend all day practicing

[V, Jungkook] : (우네요) 아직도 난 연습생인데 (Crying) I'm still a trainee

내년엔 꼭 데뷔할래

I want to definitely debut next year

[Jungkook] : Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

[Jin] : This year to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

[Bang PD] : Ayo, hitman bang introduces, Hit it the 2nd audition

랩, 댄스, 노래로 상대방의 기선을 제압해

Dominate your opponent with your rap, dance, and singing

[Suga] : 3년 전 힛잇을 통해 들어왔던 빅힛 I came to Big Hit three years ago through Hit It

우여곡절을 겪고 history in the making After many ups and downs, history in the making

우린 방탄이란 뱃지 We wear a bulletproof/bangtan badge

를 달고 라임과 플로를 사장님처럼은 안 뱉지

I don't spit out rhymes and flows like our boss

[RM] : 나 원래 일산 촌놈 출신 빡빡이 I'm originally a hillbilly from Ilsan

전국 1% 찍고 갑자기 All of the sudden, I made it into the nation's 1%

중간고사 때 걸려온 뜬금없는 전화 I got an unexpected call during my midterms

그거였어 그거 받고 솔로가 됐어 나

That was it, I took it and became single

[RM, Jungkook] : Last Christmas I gave you my heart


[RM] : (I gave you my heart)


[RM, Jungkook] : But the very next day you gave it away


[RM] : (You gave it away)

[RM, Jungkook] : This year to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special


[RM] : I'll give it to someone special


Merry Christmas everyone.
