BTS - (Hidden Track) 길 (Road/Path) (English Translation)
[Intro: RM]
Yeah, wassup?
You know, time flows like stars
(Check it, check, check, check, check it out)
[Verse 1: RM]
I started from imitating Eminem, Garion, Epik High
To writing my own raps
Now I see that I’m already at Hongdae
My lyrics back then were all (****) Bossy
But we dunno, we dunno
When I dreamed without anyone to stop me
Reality tied me down and trapped me inside
Oh, my youth trapped me
My hot heart lost to my cold mind (Damn)
As I blindly told myself my decision was right
I don’t know whether it’s an angel or a devil, but it says to me
"Do you really have any plans to rap properly?" (Yes or no?)
I didn’t have more time to hesitate and didn’t want to be stupid
So I came here and three years passed by
Some say art is long, life is short
But for now, art is life
Life is sports, just do it, uh
[Chorus: Jungkook]
If I had chosen a different path, would have I been any different?
If I stopped and looked back (Oh hey ya, hey ya)
What will I see at the end of this road?
Where you should’ve been standing? (Oh hey ya, hey ya)
[Verse 2: Suga, Suga & Jungkook]
A long time passed and by 2013, I was a trainee for three years
I was a high school student who grew overnight (I became a child)
White hair grew from my desires and one by one my many friends (Parted ways with me)
I spent my time in Seoul alone without a family (That was my third spring)
I thought my worries would disappear with my debut ahead of me
I closed my eyes to the present that had nothing to change
But the reality was different, even as my family and friends tried to stop me
I walked into the tunnels that shed no light on my own
I thought I would be alone (Why?)
As it turns out, there weren’t seven bare feet but we were wearing the shoe named Bangtan
We’ll have to go forward, take one more step, become newer
And that’s how I spent my fourth spring in Seoul (Whoa)
[Chorus: Jimin, Jin & V & Jin & Jungkook]
If I had chosen a different path, would have I been any different? (Hey)
If I stopped and looked back (Hey)
Oh hey ya, hey ya
What will I see at the end of this road
Where you should’ve been standing?
(Oh hey ya, hey ya)
[Verse 3: J-Hope]
2010, the year I walked towards Seoul!
I just loved to dance, and now I’m standing on top of the stage
Until then, I overcame many pains and scars to prepare myself
I survived with my belief to bend, not break, and ran for three years
Let the stars inside my heart shine!
Now shine on me differently
Write “Bangtan” on the paper world
I walk my future with more lights on
Give a smile to that far future (Ha, ha)
[Chorus: V, Jungkook]
If I had chosen a different path, would have I been any different? (Hey)
If I had stopped and looked back
Oh hey ya, hey ya
What will I get to see? (What will I see!)
What will I see at the end of this road
Where you should’ve been standing?
(Oh hey ya, hey ya)
[Outro: RM, RM & Jungkook]
If I had chosen a different path, would have I been any different?
If I had stopped and looked back
Oh hey ya, hey ya
What will I see at the end of this road
Where you should’ve been standing?
Oh hey ya, hey ya
