  6. 옷 색깔은 까만색으로, 이제야 좀 만족스러

    The color of the clothes is black; finally, I'm somewhat satisfied

  7. Music, turn it up (turn it up)

  8. 지루해져 후비는 콧구녕 (콧구녕)

    Bored, picking my nose (nose)

    The song title is 'Aeguga' (ha-ha)

  11. 이쁜 여자들에게 파묻혀 TV를 봐 (어머!)

    Buried under pretty girls, watching TV (oh my!)

  12. 세상의 모든 여자들 날 위해 ready to die

    All the girls in the world ready for me to die

  13. 남자들 너넨 술 가져와, 그냥 없어져도 좋아

    Hey guys, bring the drinks, it's fine if you just disappear

  14. 어쨌든 여긴 내 왕국이니까

    Anyway, this is my kingdom

  15. If I ruled the world, I'd do it all (I'd do it all)

  16. I said one for the money, two for the money (say)

  17. If I ruled the world, I'd do it all (I'd do it all)

  18. I said one for the money, two for the money (say)

  19. Everybody say he-oh, eh-oh, oh (he-oh, eh-oh, oh)

  20. Everybody say he-oh, eh-oh, oh (he-oh, eh-oh, oh)

    I know it doesn't make sense, but I sing this silly song (yeah, SUGA)

  23. If I ruled the world 가끔 꿈을 꿔

    Sometimes I dream, if I ruled the world.

  24. 내가 만약 세상을 지배한다면

    If I were to conquer this world,

  25. 일단, 먼저 난 공인중개사를

    First, I’d go see a realtor,

  26. 찾아가 가족과 함께 살 집을 사고파

    Buying and selling a house for my family.

  27. 그래, 그 다음은 내 장롱면허

    Yeah, the next step is my long-lapsed license,

  28. 잠에서 깨워줘야지 4륜구동

    Waking me up for a four-wheel drive,

  29. 차를 구입하고 기름을 주입하고

    Buying a car and filling it up with gas,

  30. 이런 게 무리라도, 무이자인 할부로 (ha-ha)

    Even if it seems excessive, on zero-interest installments (ha-ha),

  31. 주식과 도박 그딴 건 안 하고파

    I don't want to mess with stocks or gambling,

  32. 세상을 지배했는데, 왜 그리 꿈이 소박?

    I ruled the world, yet why do my dreams feel so humble?

  33. 하냐는 질문은 마 난 방탄 식구들과

    As for the question of whether I do or not, I’m with my BTS family,

  34. 그래도 여전히 I'm still 음악이고파

    Still, I’m yearning for music, I’m still hungry for it,

  35. 난 힙합계의 김정은이 되서

    Becoming the Kim Jong-un of the hip-hop scene,

  36. 우리 음악 말곤 심의를 걸겠어 (ha-ha)

    Let’s put our music through scrutiny (ha-ha),

  37. 얼토당토 안 한 꿈이지만

    It’s a dream that seems completely out of reach,

  38. It's my dream, 놀리지 마

    It's my dream, don’t you dare mock it,

  39. If I ruled the world, I'd do it all (I'd do it all)

    If I ruled the world, I’d make it all happen (I’d make it all happen),

  40. I said one for the money, two for the money (say)

  41. If I ruled the world, I'd do it all (I'd do it all)

    If I ruled the world, I’d make it all happen (I’d make it all happen),

  42. I said one for the money, two for the money (say)

  43. Everybody say he-oh, eh-oh, oh (he-oh, eh-oh, oh)

  44. Everybody say he-oh, eh-oh, oh (he-oh, eh-oh, oh)

  45. Everybody say hey, ho (hey, ho), hey-hey-ho (hey-hey-ho)

  46. 말도 안 된다는 걸 아는데, 불러보는 철없는 노래 (J-Hope)

    I know it doesn't make sense, but I sing this childish song

  47. Oh, girl, 어디? Oh god, 여기 (ooh, ooh)

    Oh, girl, where? Oh god, here (ooh, ooh)

  48. 세상에 모든 여자들은 hope world, 줄 섰지 (oh)

    All the girls in the world are lined up in hope world (oh)

  49. 모든 money 거뜬하게 써도

    I could spend all my money casually

  50. 내 지갑이란 골대에 돈이 골인 되지

    As if my wallet's the goalpost, cash keeps scoring

  51. 또 겁 없이 무대 위를 걸어다니지

    I walk fearlessly across the stage

  52. 달리지 않아도 갈수록 쌓여가는 마일리지 (ha-ha)

    Even without running, my mileage keeps piling up (ha-ha)

  53. 이런 꿈들을 이젠 내게 곧 선물하겠어

    Now I’ll gift you these dreams of mine,

  54. 방탄이란 이름 걸고 외쳐 if I ruled the world

    Shouting with the name of Bangtan, if I ruled the world.

  55. If I ruled the world (ayy), I'd do it all (I'd do it all)

  56. I said one for the money, two for the money (say)

  57. If I ruled the world, I'd do it all (I'd do it all)

  58. I said one for the money, two for the money (say)

  59. Everybody say he-oh, eh-oh, oh (he-oh, eh-oh, oh)

  60. Everybody say he-oh, eh-oh, oh (he-oh, eh-oh, oh)

  61. Everybody say hey, ho (hey, ho), hey-hey-ho (hey-hey-ho)

  62. 말도 안 된다는 걸 아는데, 불러보는 철없는 노래

    I know it doesn’t make sense, but I sing this childish song.
