[KOR/ENG LYRICS] Intro : Persona by RM
Korean
나는 누구인가 평생 물어온 질문 아마 평생 정답은 찾지 못할 그 질문 나란 놈을 고작 말 몇 개로 답할 수 있었다면 신께서 그 수많은 아름다움을 다 만드시진 않았겠지
How you feel? 지금 기분이 어때? 사실 난 너무 좋아 근데 조금 불편해 나는 내가 개인지 돼진지 뭔지도 아직 잘 모르겠는데 남들이 와서 진주목걸일 거네 칵 퉤
예전보단 자주 웃어 소원했던 Superhero 이젠 진짜 된 것 같어 근데 갈수록 뭔 말들이 많어 누군 달리라고 누군 멈춰서라 해 얘는 숲을 보라고 걔는 들꽃을 보라 해
내 그림자 나는 망설임이라 쓰고 불렀네 걘 그게 되고 나서 망설인 적이 없었네 무대 아래든 아님 조명 아래든 자꾸 나타나 아지랑이처럼 뜨겁게 자꾸 날 노려보네 Oh shit
야 이 짓을 왜 시작한 건지 벌써 잊었냐 넌 그냥 들어주는 누가 있단 게 막 좋았던 거야 가끔은 그냥 싹 다 헛소리 같아 취하면 나오는 거 알지 치기 같아
나 따위가 무슨 music 나 따위가 무슨 truth 나 따위가 무슨 소명 나 따위가 무슨 muse 내가 아는 나의 흠 어쩜 그게 사실 내 전부 세상은 사실 아무 관심 없어 나의 서툼
이제 질리지도 않는 후회들과 매일 밤 징그럽게 뒹굴고 돌릴 길 없는 시간들을 습관처럼 비틀어도 그때마다 날 또 일으켜 세운 것 최초의 질문 내 이름 석 자 그 가장 앞에 와야 할 But
So I’m askin’ once again yeah Who the hell am I? Tell me all your names baby Do you wanna die? Oh do you wanna go? Do you wanna fly? Where’s your soul? where’s your dream? Do you think you’re alive?
My name is “R” 내가 기억하고 사람들이 아는 나 날 토로하기 위해 내가 스스로 만들어낸 나 Yeah 난 날 속여왔을지도 뻥쳐왔을지도 But 부끄럽지 않아 이게 내 영혼의 지도
Dear myself 넌 절대로 너의 온도를 잃지 마 따뜻히도 차갑게도 될 필요 없으니까 가끔은 위선적이어도 위악적이어도 이게 내가 걸어두고 싶은 내 방향의 척도
내가 되고 싶은 나 사람들이 원하는 나 니가 사랑하는 나 또 내가 빚어내는 나 웃고 있는 나 가끔은 울고 있는 나 지금도 매분 매순간 살아 숨쉬는
Persona Who the hell am I? I just wanna go I just wanna fly I just wanna give you all the voices till I die I just wanna give you all the shoulders when you cry
Persona Who the hell am I? I just wanna go I just wanna fly I just wanna give you all the voices till I die I just wanna give you all the shoulders when you cry
English
Who am I, the question I’ve asked all my life That question that I probably won’t find the answer to for the rest of my life If I could explain a guy like me with just a few words Then god* wouldn’t have bothered To create all that beauty
How you feel? How do you feel right now? Honestly, I feel so good, but I’m a little uncomfortable Me, I still don’t know whether I’m A dog or a pig, or whatever I am But other people come and hang a pearl necklace around my neck Ach-Ptui**
I smile more often than before The superhero that I wished to be Now I feel like I’ve become a real one But the further I go, the more they have to say Some say run, some say stop This one says to look at the forest That one to look at the wildflowers
My shadow I wrote and called it Hesitation After it became that, He never hesitated again Whether it’s off the stage or under the spotlight He keeps appearing As heatedly as the waves of heat above the road He keeps glaring at me Oh shit
Hey, the reason why you even started doing this Did you already forget it You simply loved the fact That there was someone who listened to you Sometimes it all just seems like gibberish You know that stuff that you say when you’re drunk, it all seems childish
What do you mean, someone like me makes music What do you mean, someone like me is truth What do you mean, someone like me has a calling What do you mean, someone like me is a muse My flaws that I myself know Perhaps those are all that there is to me The world actually doesn’t care about it My inexperience
Even though I roll around every night disgustingly With the regrets that by now I’m not even sick of And although I twist like a habit The times that I cannot turn back The thing that raised me back up again and again That first question The three letters of my name The word that should come in front of them, But
So I’m askin’ once again yeah Who the hell am I? Tell me all your names baby Do you wanna die? Oh do you wanna go? Do you wanna fly? Where’s your soul? where’s your dream? Do you think you’re alive?
My name is “R” The me that I remember and that the people know The me that I created myself In order to spill out what was inside of me Yeah perhaps I have been deceiving myself Perhaps I lied all along But I’m not ashamed of it This is the map of my soul
Dear myself Don’t ever lose your own temperature Since there’s no need to become hot, nor cold Sometimes you can pretend to be good, sometimes evil This is the scale of my direction*** That I want to hang up on my wall
The me I want to become, the me that people want The me you love, the me that I create The me who is laughing, the me who is sometimes crying Who, even now, is living and breathing every minute, every second
Persona Who the hell am I? I just wanna go I just wanna fly I just wanna give you all the voices till I die I just wanna give you all the shoulders when you cry
Persona Who the hell am I? I just wanna go I just wanna fly I just wanna give you all the voices till I die I just wanna give you all the shoulders when you cry
Translator’s Notes: * Here, he refers to a god in general, and not the Christian God, hence the lack of a capital “G”. ** Sound effects of gathering spit, then spitting. *** Play on words. 위선 means ‘hypocrisy’ or ‘pretending to be good’, while 위악 is its opposite, meaning ‘pretending to be evil’. A few lines below that, ‘척도’ is a ‘scale’ or means of measuring something, but it can also be separated into ‘척’ and ‘도’ which would turn it into ‘the amount of pretense’.
