BTS (방탄소년단) - 'Answer: Love Myself' Lyrics




BTS (방탄소년단) - 'Answer: Love Myself' Lyrics (With English Translation)


[Jimin] : 눈을 뜬다 어둠 속 나

I open my eyes; I'm in the darkness,


심장이 뛰는 소리 낯설 때

When the sound of my heart beating feels unfamiliar,


[Jungkook] : 마주 본다 거울 속 너

I meet you in the mirror,


겁먹은 눈빛 해묵은 질문

With fearful eyes, suppressed questions


[Suga] : 어쩌면 누군가를 사랑하는 것보다 더 어려운 게 나 자신을 사랑하는 거야

Maybe, loving oneself is harder than loving someone else


솔직히 인정할 건 인정하자

Let's admit it honestly,


니가 내린 잣대들은 너에게 더 엄격하단 걸

The standards you set for yourself are even stricter,


니 삶 속의 굵은 나이테

It's because within your own life,


그 또한 너의 일부 너이기에

Those standards are a part of you,


이제는 나 자신을 용서하자 버리기엔

Now, forgive yourself, it's too soon to give up,


우리 인생은 길어

Our lives are long,


미로 속에선 날 믿어

In the maze, trust yourself,


겨울이 지나면

When winter passes,


다시 봄은 오는 거야

Spring will come again


[Jungkook] : 차가운 밤의 시선

The gaze of a cold night,


초라한 날 감추려

Trying to hide my pathetic self


몹시 뒤척였지만

I tossed and turned a lot,


[Jimin] : 저 수많은 별을

But to reach those countless stars,


맞기 위해 난 떨어졌던가

Did I have to fall?


[Jungkook] : (Hey)


[Jimin] : 저 수천 개 찬란한

Is it just me as the target


화살의 과녁은 나 하나

Of thousands of dazzling arrows?


[Jin] : You've shown me I have reasons


I should love myself


내 숨 내 걸어온 길 전부로 답해

With every breath, every step I've taken, I answer


[V] : 어제의 나 오늘의 나 내일의 나

Yesterday's me, today's me, tomorrow's me


[Jungkook] : I'm learning how to love myself


[V, Jungkook] : 빠짐없이 남김없이 모두 다 나

Every bit of me, without missing anything


[RM] : (RM) 정답은 없을지도 몰라

There might not be a correct answer


어쩜 이것도 답은 아닌 거야

Maybe this is not the answer either


그저 날 사랑하는 일조차

But even loving myself,


누구의 허락이 필요했던 거야

Why did I need someone's permission?


난 지금도 나를 또 찾고 있어

I'm still searching for myself even now,


But 더는 죽고 싶지가 않은 걸

But I don't want to die anymore,


슬프던 me

The me who was sad,


아프던 me

The me who was in pain,


더 아름다울 美

Will become more beautiful


[j-hope] : 그래 그 아름다움이

Yeah, that beauty,


있다고 아는 마음이

Having the knowledge of it,


나의 사랑으로 가는 길

Is the path to my love


가장 필요한 나다운 일, eh

The most necessary thing for myself, eh


지금 날 위한 행보는

Now, the steps I take for myself,


바로 날 위한 행동

Are actions for myself,


날 위한 태도

An attitude for myself,


그게 날 위한 행복

That is my happiness,


I'll show you what I got


두렵진 않아 그건 내 존재니까

I'm not afraid, that's my existence


Love myself


[Jin] : 시작의 처음부터

From the beginning of the start,


끝의 마지막까지

Until the end,


해답은 오직 하나

There's only one answer,


[Jimin] : 왜 자꾸만 감추려고만 해

Why do I keep trying to hide,


니 가면 속으로

In your mask


[Jungkook] : (Hey)


[Jimin] : 내 실수로 생긴

Even the scars I got from my mistakes,


흉터까지 다 내 별자린데

They are all my constellations


[V] : You've shown me I have reasons


I should love myself oh oh oh


내 숨 내 걸어온 길 전부로 답해

With every breath, every step I've taken, I answer,


[Jungkook] : 내 안에는 여전히 oh oh oh

Inside me, there's still oh oh oh


[Jimin] : 서툰 내가 있지만 oh oh oh

My unskilled self, but oh oh oh


[Jin] : You've shown me I have reasons


I should love myself oh oh


[Jungkook] : (I'm learning how to love myself)


[Vocal line] : 내 숨 내 걸어온 길 전부로 답해 oh oh oh

With every breath, every step I've taken, I answer,


[V] : 어제의 나 오늘의 나 내일의 나

Yesterday's me, today's me, tomorrow's me,


[Jungkook] : I'm learning how to love myself


[V, Jungkook] : 빠짐없이 남김없이 모두 다 나

Every bit of me, without missing anything
