나를 보며 꿈을 꾸고 있는 당신의 등 뒤엔

Behind you, growing a dream while watching me,

BTS Trans: To you, who looks at me and dreams

항상 내가 있으니 너무 걱정은 말어

I’ll always be standing, so don’t worry too much

BTS Trans: I am always there behind you, so don’t worry too much

추락이 두렵다면 기꺼이 받아줄게

If you’re afraid of falling, I’ll gladly catch you

Doolset Note: SUGA frequently refers to the concept of falling. Some examples: (1) “For we are flying together, I gain courage. I’m afraid of falling, but not of landing.” (Dicon, May 2018); (2) “I’ve seen many artists past their prime, unable to fill up big venues like they once used to and being ridiculed. Seeing them, from when I was young, I used to think that it may be a wise decision to quit when I have a say, rather than continuing while being mocked and criticized. Now, I just hope that I’ll be standing on the stage until the very last moment of landing. I think that’d be a successful descent. […] If it’s that I’m not falling all by myself but we’re landing together, I’m no longer afraid of the end. ” (YouQuiz, March 2021); (3) “That my leap would not be my fall, that your convictions, efforts, beliefs, and greeds are not ugly nor dirty” (SUGA’s Interlude); (4) “I’m afraid, I’m scared of flying high. No one told me how lonely it is here, that my leap can be my fall.” (Interlude: Shadow); (5) “We don’t need to worry. ‘Cause we when we fall, we know how to land.” (Permission to Dance).

BTS Trans Note: Suga has previously referenced the idea of “the fall” in interviews before, most famously saying “I’m afraid of falling but not of landing”.

그러니 나처럼 괴로워하지 말어

So don’t suffer like I did

BTS Trans: So don’t feel the same torment that I did

꿈을 위해서 쪽잠을 자는 그대 쉬어도 돼

You, surviving on snoozes to get closer to your dream, it’s okay to rest

오늘만큼은 꿈조차도 꾸지 말어

Today at least, don’t even dream

BTS Trans: For today, don’t even dream about your dreams

Doolset Note: (1) I hope you sleep deep without having a dream; (2) I hope you take it easy without thinking about your dream
