Genius English Translations
Agust D - 저 달 (Moonlight) (English Translation)
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
Okay, okay, okay, okay
Yeah
Three years have passed
Agust D
Honestly, I don’t know how many songs to put in
Fuck, I’m just doing it
[Verse 1]
The beginnings were humble, Daegu, yeah, from a basement in Namsandong
To a penthouse in Hannam the Hill now, ha
The Peter Pan who still cannot wake up from his dream
In my head, the reality fights with the ideal tirelessly
My biggest enemy is the anger inside me
The more dreadful is the battle with the laziness inside me
Sometimes I resent God, asking why he made me live a life like this
What I’m doing, and if I love music at all
Sometimes I ask myself again, ‘if it’s possible to go back
Will you go back?’ Well, I’ll have to think more about that
One moment I feel like I’ve easily earned what I have
And the next moment I’m compensated for the fucking hard works I’ve done
But I’m still hungry, would this be karma?
The emptiness that I feel after flying fucking high
Although it’s been more than 10 years since I started in Namsandong
It’s the same that my head is a mess, fuck that
[Chorus]
That moonlight that shines on me at dawn
It’s still the same as then
A lot changed in my life, but
That moonlight is still the same
That moonlight that shines on me at dawn
It’s still the same as then
Changes are fated to happen to everyone
Perhaps it is how we change that is our karma to bear
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I feel like I’m a genius
Sometimes I feel like I have no talent
Sometimes songs write themselves like crazy, but then
When I’m stuck, I’m stuck like there’s no way out, yeah, right now
I wrote Verse 1 fucking fast
But can’t make Verse 2 no matter how hard I rack my brain
It probably would be the same for life, all or nothing
There’s no parallel anyway, it’s a matter of choice
There would be no eternity for anything
Being called immortal is fucking overwhelming
I started just because I liked music
But the adjectives they attach to my name feel too much sometimes
What can I do, I should just keep running
What can I do, I should just keep hold of things that I’m grasping
What can I do, I should just pay back what I’ve received
If you think you’re gonna crash, accelerate even harder, you idiot
[Chorus]
That moonlight that shines on me at dawn
It’s still the same as then
A lot changed in my life, but
That moonlight is still the same
That moonlight that shines on me at dawn
It’s still the same as then
Changes are fated to happen to everyone
Perhaps it is how we change that is our karma to bear
