RM – Do You Song (English Lyrics + Translation)

난 세상에서 자기계발서가 제일 싫어 이렇게 저렇게 하란 개소리들
nan sesangeseo jagigyebalseoga jeil silheo ireohge jeoreohge haran gaesorideul
I hate self-improvement books more than anything in the world, useless noise telling you to do this, to that

다 줏댄 없고 남말은 잘 믿어 그러니까 그 개소리들이 베스트셀러
da jutdaen eoptgo nammareun jal mideo geureonikka geu gaesorideuri beseuteuselleo
They’re all spineless and just believing what others tell you, that’s why that kind of nonsense is a best-seller

걔네들이 너에 대해 무엇을 알지 너의 꿈 너의 취미, 이해를 하니?
gyaenedeuri neoe daehae mueoseul alji neoui kkum neoui chwimi, ihaereul hani?
What do they actually know about you? Your dreams, your hobbies, do they understand?

눈치만 덜 봐도 바뀌는 건 참 많지 주인으로 태어나 왜 노예가 되려 하니
nunchiman deol bwado bakkwineun geon cham manhji juineuro taeeona wae noyega doeryeo hani
A lot of things change when you stop caring about what others think, you were born your own owner, why are you trying to become a slave?

‘아프니까 청춘이다*’ 그딴 위험한 정의가 제일 문제야
‘apeunikka cheongchunida*’ geuttan wiheomhan jeonguiga jeil munjeya
“It’s youth because it hurts”, that kind of definition is the biggest problem

삶에서 장르는 덫, 마치 음악처럼 거기 얽매이는 순간 바보 되니까
salmeseo jangreuneun teot, machi eumakcheoreom geogi eolkmaeineun sungan babo doenikka
In life, genre is a trap**, kind of like music, the second you get tied up in it, you become stupid

Fuck that. You the only one ever 완벽하진 않아도 한정판 레고
Fuck that. You the only one ever wanbyeokhajin anhado hanjeongpan rego
Fuck that. You the only one ever, even though you’re not perfect, you’re limited edition lego

차피 누군간 널 탐내게 돼있어 그니까, 넌 그냥 너를 해줘
chapi nugungan neol tamnaege dwaeisseo geunikka, neon geunyang neoreul haejwo
There’s someone bound to be jealous of you anyway, so, please, just do you

Do you, do you, do you, do you (Do the fuck you want)
Do you, do you, do you, do you (Do the fuck you want)
Do you, do you, do you, do you (Do the fuck you want)
Do you, do you, do you, do you (What the fuck you want?)

I’m not pop, I’m not rock, I’m not funk, I’m not R&B or hip hop

아직도 뭔지도 모르는 애들 전부 다 파라 귓밥
ajikdo mwonjido moreuneun aedeul jeonbu da para gwitbap
All those who still don’t know, clear out your ear wax

‘치마에 스키니진? 힙합이 아냐!***’ 그럼 A$AP은 힙합이 아냐?
‘chimae seukinijin? hiphabi anya!***’ geureom A$APeun hiphabi anya?
“A dress with skinny jeans? That’s not hip hop!***” Then would A$AP not be hip hop?

니가 A$AP, Kanye보다 더 힙합이야? 꼰대 선비새끼들은 저 뒤로 가라
niga A$AP, Kanyeboda deo hiphabiya? kkondae seonbisaekkideureun jeo dwiro gara
Are you more hip hop than A$AP or Kanye? All you lame scholar bastards please go to the back

내가 말하길 fashion은 곧 passion 한국말로 쓰면 똑같아 패션
naega malhagil fashioneun got passion hangukmallo sseumyeon ttokgata paesyeon
I say fashion is passion, if you write it in Korean they’re both ‘pae-syun’

홍대 가면 괜히 바지 내리는 것들 대신
hongdae gamyeon gwaenhi baji naerineun geotdeul daesin
Instead of purposefully sagging your pants when you go to Hongdae

니가 입고 싶은 대로 입어 that’s swag, that’s it
niga ipgo sipeun daero ibeo that’s swag, that’s it
Just wear what you want, that’s swag, that’s it

(Whoa!) 유행 따라가도 good (Whoa!) 졸라 남달라도 good
(Whoa!) yuhaeng ttaragado good (Whoa!) jolla namdallado good
(Whoa!) Even if you follow trends, good (Whoa!) Even if you’re different from others, good

걍 니 자체가 hood, 원래 모두 처음부터
gyang ni jachega hood, wonrae modu cheoeumbuteo
Just the way you are is hood, just the way everyone originally is

맞고 틀린 건 없었어 각자가 좀 다를 뿐
majgo teullin geon eopseosseo gakjaga jom dareul ppun
Is right and there’s nothing wrong, it’s just that everyone’s a little different

Haters gon hate and players gon play, mufuckas keep mufuckin all day

Follow my shit, my friend and I’ll pay 내가 너 대신 침 뱉어줄게 (퉤)
Follow my shit, my friend and I’ll pay naega neo daesin chim baeteojulge (twe)
Follow my shit, my friend and I’ll pay, I’ll spit for you in your stead (ptooey)

Do you, do you, do you, do you (Do the fuck you want)
Do you, do you, do you, do you (Do the fuck you want)
Do you, do you, do you, do you (Do the fuck you want)
Do you, do you, do you, do you (What the fuck you want?)

하고싶은 대로 하랬더니 나이 서른 처먹고도
hagosipeun daero haraetdeoni nai seoreun cheomeokgodo
They told you to do what you want, but even after a whole 30 years

똥오줌조차 못 가리는 어른이 많지
ttongojumjocha mot garineun eoreuni manhji
There are a lot of adults who can’t even hold in their shit

지 입으로 리스펙을 외쳐대는 이들
ji ibeuro riseupegeul oechyeodaeneun ideul
Those who yell “respect” with their own lips

지들도 사실 그 말의 참뜻을 모르진 않지
jideuldo sasil geu marui chamtteuseul moreujin anhji
Honestly, it’s not that they don’t know the real meaning of the word

자유와 방종, 분명 다른 것 (uh) 때와 장손 알아야 하는 법 (uh)
jayuwa bangjong, bunmyeong dareun geot (uh) ttaewa jangson araya haneun beop (uh)
Freedom and self-indulgence, they’re definitely different (uh), you need to know the time and place (for each) (uh)

똑같이 베껴 갖다 쓰고 아닌 척 포장하는 suckers
ttokgati bekkyeo gajda sseugo anin cheok pojanghaneun suckers
The suckers who copy and pretend as if they didn’t

걔네 음악보단 내 게 낫단 것 (uh)
gyaene eumakbodan nae ge natdan geot (uh)

* “아프니까 청춘이다” is a book published in 2010 by Kim Nando in his attempt to comfort the youth who are suffer from the uncertainty of the future. This book was initially received very well and made to a best-seller, but the title was criticized for normalizing the pain and struggle that the contemporaneous youth has to go through. Some even made jokes by saying, “Pain doesn’t prove your youth. Pain means you should go to the hospital.” (s.)
** Trap here is a device that catch/retain animals, not a genre of music. (s.)
*** Quoted from people who accused BTS for being “idols, not artists,” who wear make-ups, skinny jeans, and other “girly” things that are “not hip hop.” (s.)
