Translation

Rap Monster)Ah.. I'm 20 nowNow that I'm actually 20.. It's nothing specialSo what am I supposed to do now?Jin)I'm 20 (now) and it's a good dayI've become a free bodyBut what is this, there's nothing to it I've only become an adultI've only become an adult, I've only become an adultI've only become an average adult, The average adult is what I've becomeAn adultRap Monster)Some have gone to whichever college, some have gone off to military serviceSome are repeating a grade and some are looking for workThe tender touch of our families, that sweet romance has come at its endHaste and clumsiness are all what's leftThe weight of being 20, I thought would be like a featherNow it's a boulder that pins me down, the regret at age 20Oh no! All the Peter Pans who've freshly jumped out of fairytale booksIt must've never existed from the start, this Neverland they dream aboutA little sense of liberation, a little sense of regret (for an unfulfilled wish or goal)A little sense of hostility towards this world that's strange to meBecause I'm now an adult I want to keep a straight face and play it coolYouth and naivete, they're both in vain, reallyEyah..Would you look at my lyrics, I've maturedA friend who's been hired is lifting files (T/N: 'seoryucheol') instead of being in season (T/N: 'cheol', literal translation of colloquial phrase for 'growing up')I was once a young adult but now I'm an adult childMom's not around to take care of me, I'm skipping meals Jin) I'm 20 (now) and it's a good day I've become a free body But what is this, there's nothing to it I've only become an adult I've only become an adult, I've only become an adult I've only become an average adult, The average adult is what I've become An adult Suga)What every men in their 20s experience is a deep sense of remorseFearing military draft notes, the things that once felt so far awayBecome reality. They said "[North and South Korea] would be unified by the time you've grown up"That's what mom said and I had completely believed her.But the reality is that [I'm] an able-bodied first-rate soldier materialThis friend who's perfectly healthy is a fourth-rate so why am I [first-rate]? (T/N: referring to physical examination results for drafts, those with low rates are excused from service)How could I be so uselessly healthyCivil duties? it's a juvenile death sentenceI envy and envy the nation's lowest 10%It blows away this flowery adolescence, I'm evading military serviceThe roaring 20s, time when everything is lusciousThey try to set fire to flower-blossomed youthThe moment I graduated after the hellish examsI attend another school, its name is SocietyApplause for courage to malesin their 20s who were forced to break from SocietyAnd a handshake of gratitude to the nation's 60,000 officers and men of the armed forcesOutro)Turned 20 and started attending a school, its name is LifeBut there were no teachers thereSome will repeat a grade and some will be draftedBut do not forget this time of blissful ignoranceAdulthood, it's nothing, reallyAdulthood, it's nothing, reallyIt's nothing like how it seems, reallyReally, it's nothing like how it seems
