[Intro: Jung Kook]
[Intro: Jung Kook]
La-la-la-la, la-la (Oh)
La-la-la-la, ah, la-la
Oh, oh, mm, mm, mm
Marathon, marathon
Life's long, so take it slow 42.195 The end is filled with a paradise of dreams
[Verse 1: Jung Kook]
[Verse 1: Jung Kook]
Marathon, marathon
But the real world is
삶은 길어 천천히 해
Different from what's promised
42.195
We need to run, we need to step on it
그 끝엔 꿈의 낙원이 가득해
If you shoot a flare
You don't have a destination There's no sceneries at all When you're gasping for breath You need to, you need to
[Pre-Chorus: Jimin, Jung Kook]
[Pre-Chorus: Jimin, Jung Kook]
하지만 진짜 세상은
It's alright to stop
약속과는 달라
There's no need to run without even knowing the reason
우린 달려야 해 밟아야 해
It's alright to not have a dream
신호탄을 쏘면
As long as there are moments when you feel happiness
너, 목적지도 없어
It's alright to stop
아무 풍경도 없어
Now we don't run without knowing the destination
숨이 턱까지 넘칠 때
It's alright to not have a dream
You need to, you need to
Every breath you take is already in paradise
[Chorus: V, Jung Kook, Jin, Jimin]
[Chorus: V, Jung Kook, Jin, Jimin]
멈춰서도 괜찮아
We borrow dreams from others (Like a debt)
아무 이유도 모르는 채 달릴 필요 없어
We learn that we need to become great (Like a light)
꿈이 없어도 괜찮아
Your dream is actually a burden
잠시 행복을 느낄 네 순간들이 있다면
If having a future is the only dream existing
멈춰서도 괜찮아
Then what is the dream you had last night in your bed?
이젠 목적도 모르는 채 달리지 않아
It's alright if the name of the dream is different
꿈이 없어도 괜찮아
Be it buying a laptop next month
네가 내뱉는 모든 호흡은 이미 낙원에
Or just eating and sleeping
Having money while doing nothing Why must dreams be grand? Why must we become someone big? We deserve a life Whatever big or small, you are you after all
[Verse 2: RM]
[Verse 2: RM]
우린 꿈을 남한테서 꿔 (빚처럼)
But the real world is
위대해져야 한다 배워 (빛처럼)
Different from what's promised
너의 dream 사실은 짐
We need to run, we need to step on it
미래만이 꿈이라면
If you shoot a flare
내가 어젯밤 침대서 꾼 건 뭐
You don't have a destination
꿈의 이름이 달라도 괜찮아
There's no sceneries at all
다음달에 노트북 사는 거
When you're gasping for breath
아니면 그냥 먹고 자는 거
You need to you need to
암것도 안 하는데 돈이 많은 거
꿈이 뭐 거창한 거라고
그냥 아무나 되라고
We deserve a life
뭐가 크건 작건 그냥 너는 너잖어
[Pre-Chorus: Jimin, Jimin & Jung Kook]
[Pre-Chorus: Jimin, Jimin & Jung Kook]
하지만 진짜 세상은
It's alright to stop
약속과는 달라
There's no need to run without even knowing the reason
우린 달려야 해 밟아야 해
It's alright to not have a dream
신호탄을 쏘면
As long as there are moments when you feel happiness
너, 목적지도 없어
It's alright to stop
아무 풍경도 없어
Now we don't run without knowing the destination
숨이 턱까지 넘칠 때
It's alright to not have a dream
You need to, you need to

[Chorus: Jung Kook, Jin, V, Jimin]
멈춰서도 괜찮아
(SUGA)
아무 이유도 모르는 채 달릴 필요 없어
I don't have a dream
꿈이 없어도 괜찮아
To dream is sometimes scary
잠시 행복을 느낄 네 순간들이 있다면
To just live like this (Hmm-hm)
멈춰서도 괜찮아
To survive like this is a small dream to me (Hmm-hm)
이젠 목적도 모르는 채 달리지 않아
To dream, to hold onto a dream
꿈이 없어도 괜찮아
Even to breathe, is sometimes too much to handle (Hmm-hm)
네가 내뱉는 모든 호흡은 이미 낙원에
Saying this person's living like this, that person's living like that
The world's hurling at me
[Bridge: SUGA]
[Bridge: SUGA]
I don't have a dream
Yeah, the world doesn't have the right to bash you
꿈을 꾸는 게 때론 무섭네
Because it never even taught me
그냥 이렇게 (Mm, mm)
How to dream in the first place
살아가는 게, 살아남는 게
The dream was made up, a sleep talk with tears
이게 나에겐 작은 꿈인데 (Mm, mm)
Let me wake you from this nightmare
꿈을 꾸는 게, 꿈을 쥐는 게
Let's try to smile every day, right here in paradise
숨을 쉬는 게 때론 버겁네 (Mm-mm)
누군 이렇게 누군 저렇게 산다면서
세상은 내게 욕을 퍼붓네
[Verse 3: j-hope]
[Verse 3: j-hope]
Yeah, 세상은 욕할 자격이 없네 (Yeah)
It's alright to stop
꿈을 꾸는 법이 무엇인지 (Yeah)
Now we don't run without even knowing the destination
가르쳐 준 적도 없기에 (Woah, woah, woah)
It's alright to not have a dream
꾸며 낸 꿈이기에 눈물의 잠꼬대
Every breath you take is already in paradise
악몽에서 깨워내 널 위해
이젠 매일 웃어보자고 저 낙원에서
[Chorus: V, Jimin]
[Chorus: V, Jimin]
멈춰서도 괜찮아
Stop runnin' for nothin', my friend
이젠 목적도 모르는 채 달리지 않아
Now put an end to this foolish race
꿈이 없어도 괜찮아
Stop runnin' for nothin', my friend
네가 내뱉는 모든 호흡은 이미 낙원에
Every breath you take is already in paradise
Stop runnin' for nothin', my friend You don't need something like a dream that everyone dreams Stop runnin' for nothin', my friend Every language that makes you, is already in paradise
[Outro: All]
[Outro: All]
Stop runnin' for nothin', my friend
Now 어리석은 경주를 끝내
Stop runnin' for nothin', my friend
네가 내뱉는 모든 호흡은 이미 낙원에
Stop runnin' for nothin', my friend
다 꾸는 꿈 따윈 없어도 돼
Stop runnin' for nothin', my friend
너를 이루는 모든 언어는 이미 낙원에
