  1. 하루종일 뒹굴뒹굴

    Rolling around all day long

  2. 부러울거 없는 한량

    A free spirit with nothing to envy in others

  3. 아무도 없는 객지에서

    In a desolate place where no one is around

  4. 가끔은 처량한 눈물을 먹지만

    Sometimes I swallow my sorrowful tears

  5. 그래도 항상 의기양양

    Yet I always stand tall and proud

  6. 방탕했던 과거를 청산하려

    To put my reckless past to rest

  7. 장장 5년

    A long five years

  8. 나의 화려했던 놀이문화를

    My vibrant party life

  9. 깔끔히 정리하려는 나를

    I hope everyone will wait for me as I

  10. 기다려 주길 바래 다들

    Clean it all up neatly.

  11. 세상 어딜가도

    Wherever I go in the world

  12. 약육강식의 먹이사슬이더군

    It's all a food chain of survival of the fittest

  13. 좋은 부모님 만나

    Meeting good parents

  14. 왕창 받아다가

    Receiving heaps of money

  15. 무슨 벼슬이라도

    As if I had some sort of title

  16. 호의호식하며

    Living in luxury

  17. 좋은 독일차 사서

    Buying a nice German car

  18. 우주선 만들어 날라다녔어

    Building a spaceship and flying around

  19. 그러나 세상이란 끝이 없더군

    Yet the world knows no bounds

  20. 사람의 욕심이란 것도

    Human greed is something as well

  21. 끝이 없더군

    There seems to be no end.

  22. 이제와 생각하니 불행했었군

    Now that I think about it, I was truly unhappy.

  23. 가진 것의 소중함을 몰랐던 박군

    Park, who never knew the value of what he had.

  24. 무너져도 다시 일어날 있는

    You can rise again even after you fall.

  25. 정신세계의 단단한 복근

    The solid abdominals of the mental world

  26. 쓰러져도 다시 일어설 있는

    Able to rise again even after falling down.

  27. 지금의 실패는 성공의 어머니

    Today's failures are the mothers of success.

  28. 담배도 많이 피고

    I smoke a lot of cigarettes.

  29. 술도 많이 마셨어

    I drank a lot too.

  30. 겉으로는 술맛 좋다 했던

    On the outside, I said the drink tasted good.

  31. 사실은 술맛 아직도 조금은

    The truth is the taste of alcohol is still a bit bitter.

  32. 좋은 타구 죽어두 뽀다구

    Driving a nice car, I'd die just the same vanity,

  33. 이거 나도 왕년엔 힘좀 썼다구

    I too, back in the day, had my strength.

  34. 목소리 놈이 먹는 세상

    The loudest voice wins in this world.

  35. 잔머리 잘돌아가는 놈이

    It's the one with clever tricks who's ahead.

  36. 나가는 세상

    A world where things go well.

  37. 요행과 편법으로 피해다녀도

    Even if I evade it with luck and shortcuts,

  38. 안락한 세상인줄 알았던 박재상

    The comfortable world I thought it was, Park Jae-sang,

  39. 그런 세상은

    Such a world must be,

  40. 상상의 저편에 있지

    Beyond the realm of imagination.

  41. 원대한 꿈에 비해

    In comparison to grand dreams,

  42. 조금은 약했던 의지

    A will that was somewhat weak.

  43. 미지의 세계는

    The unknown world is

  44. 일단 접고 현실로 들어가

    First, let's put aside and step into reality.

  45. 한번 미치도록 부딪쳐 보는거야

    Let's crash into each other until we go crazy.

  46. 이제와 생각하니 두려울게 뭐야

    Now that I think about it, what is there to be afraid of?

  47. 인생이란 밑에서부터

    Life begins from the bottom.

  48. 올라가는거야

    We're rising up.

  49. 무너져도 다시 일어날 있는

    Even if I fall, I can rise again.

  50. 정신세계에 단단한 복근

    Firm abs in the realm of the mind

  51. 쓰러져도 다시 일어설 있는

    Able to rise again even after falling,

  52. 지금의 실패는 성공의 어머니

    Today's failures are the mother of success.

  53. 그동안 내가 살아오며

    Throughout my life so far,

  54. 행동들과

    The actions I've taken,

  55. 내가 살아오며 사람들과

    The people I've met along the way,

  56. 사람들 사이

    In between those people,

  57. 복잡다단했던 다사다난했던

    Complex and tumultuous,

  58. 나의 지난 23년동안

    Throughout my past 23 years,

  59. 과분했던 축복

    Blessings in abundance,

  60. 어려서부터 유복했지만

    Though I was well off from a young age,

  61. 오직 재미만을 위해

    Only for fun.

  62. 분에 넘치는 특혜

    Excessive privileges beyond measure

  63. 스스로 찾아온 기회

    An opportunity that I found on my own

  64. 간과한 자극적인

    Completely overlooking it, something even more provocative.

  65. 재밌고 쉽고 달아 보이는거

    More fun, easier, and looks sweeter.

  66. 쫓아 여기까지 왔어

    I chased and made it here.

  67. 무너져도 다시 일어날 있는

    Even if I collapse, I can rise again.

  68. 정신세계에 단단한 복근

    Firm abs in the realm of the mind

  69. 쓰러져도 다시 일어설 있는

    Even if I fall, I can rise again.

    Wherever I go in this world, I have good fortune in friends

  73. 항상 아껴주고 도와주는

    There are always those who cherish and support me

  74. 사람들이 있어

    There are people like that

  75. 항상 싫어하고 샘내고

  76. 욕하는 사람들도 많았어

    There were plenty who spoke ill of me

  77. 세상 재밌어
