[Verse 1: RM]
[Verse 1: RM]
막이 내리고 나는 숨이 차
The curtain falls and I'm out of breath
복잡해진 마음, 숨을 내쉰다
My complicated feelings, I exhale
오늘 뭐 실수는 없었었나
Did I make any mistakes today
관객들의 표정은 어땠던가
What were the expressions on the audience's faces
그래도 행복해 난 이런 내가 돼서
Still I'm happy that I've become this kind of person
누군가를 소리 지르게 만들 수가 있어서
That I'm able to make someone scream
채 가시지 않은 여운들을 품에 안고
Holding the lingering afterglow close to my chest
아직도 더운 텅 빈 무대에 섰을 때
When I stand on the still-warm empty stage
[Verse 2: SUGA]
[Verse 2: SUGA]
더운 텅 빈 무대에 섰을 때
When I stand on the still-warm empty stage
괜한 공허함에 난 겁을 내
I get scared by the strange emptiness
복잡한 감정 속에서 삶의 사선 위에서
In the midst of complicated emotions, on the edge of life
괜시리 난 더 무딘 척을 해
I pretend to be even more numb for no reason
처음도 아닌데 익숙해질 법한데
It's not the first time, you'd think I'd be used to it
숨기려 해도 그게 안돼
Even when I try to hide it, I can't
텅 빈 무대가 식어갈 때쯤
As the empty stage grows cold
빈 객석을 뒤로하네
I leave the empty seats behind
[Verse 3: j-hope]
[Verse 3: j-hope]
지금 날 위로하네 완벽한 세상은
Now I comfort myself, there's no
없다고 자신에게 말해 난
Perfect world, I tell myself
점점 날 비워가네 언제까지 내 것일
I slowly empty myself out, this can't
순 없어 큰 박수갈채가
Be mine forever, this great applause
이런 내게 말을 해, 뻔뻔히
It speaks to me, boldly
니 목소릴 높여 더 멀리
Raise your voice higher, further
영원한 관객은 없대도
Even though there's no eternal audience
난 노래할 거야
I will sing
오늘의 나로 영원하고파
I want to be eternal as today's me
영원히 소년이고 싶어 난 Aah
I want to be a boy forever, yeah Aah
[Chorus: V, Jung Kook, Jin]
[Chorus: V, Jung Kook, Jin]
Forever we are young
Forever we are young
나리는 꽃잎 비 사이로
Through the falling shower of flower petals
헤매어 달리는 이 미로
This maze we wander through and run
Forever we are young
Forever we are young
넘어져 다치고 아파도
Even falling and hurting and aching
끝없이 달리네 꿈을 향해
We keep running endlessly toward our dreams
[Bridge: Jung Kook, SUGA, V, Jimin, *RM*]
[Bridge: Jung Kook, SUGA, V, Jimin, *RM*]
Forever ever ever ever
Forever ever ever ever
(꿈, 희망, 전진, 전진)
(Dreams, hope, onward, onward)
Forever ever ever we are young
Forever ever ever we are young
Forever ever ever ever
Forever ever ever ever
(*꿈, 희망, 전진, 전진*)
(*Dreams, hope, onward, onward*)
Forever ever ever we are young
Forever ever ever we are young
[Chorus: Jung Kook, Jimin, V, Jin]
[Chorus: Jung Kook, Jimin, V, Jin]
Forever we are young
Forever we are young
나리는 꽃잎 비 사이로
Through the falling shower of flower petals
헤매어 달리는 이 미로
This maze we wander through and run
Forever we are young
Forever we are young
넘어져 다치고 아파도
Even falling and hurting and aching
끝없이 달리네 꿈을 향해
We keep running endlessly toward our dreams
[Chorus: All]
[Chorus: All]
Forever we are young
Forever we are young
나리는 꽃잎 비 사이로
Through the falling shower of flower petals
헤매어 달리네 이 미로
This maze we wander through and run
Forever we are young
Forever we are young
넘어져 다치고 아파도
Even falling and hurting and aching
끝없이 달리네 꿈을 향해
We keep running endlessly toward our dreams
