[Korean:]
술잔을 비우니 그리움이 차는구나
그냥 다 지고 볼 걸
왜 난 따지고 봤을까
길가에 버려진 쓰레기봉투까지도
바람에 쓸쓸한 소리를 내
나의 백지에 널 좀 덧칠했을 뿐인데
정신 차려보니
이미 한 폭의 그림이 돼
너와 난 핸드폰
떨어지면 고장 날 걸 너도 알잖아
너의 체취만이 날 온전하게 해
어서 날 안아
오직 너 하나만 보여 보여
나 오직 너 밖엔 안보여 보여
봐 공정하지 공평하지
너한테 빼곤 다
이젠 단 하루도 너 없이는 Please
꽉 잡아줘 날 안아줘
Can you trust me
Can you trust me
Can you trust me
꽉 끌어안아줘
꽉 잡아줘 날 안아줘
Can you trust me
Can you trust me
제발 제발 제발 끌어안아줘
여전히 너에게선 빛이 나
여전히 향기 나는 꽃 같아
이제 나를 믿어줘
다시 나를 잡아줘
너를 느낄 수 있게
나를 끌어안아줘
너 없인 숨을 쉴 수 없어 난
너 없인 아무것도 아냐 난
닫힌 맘을 열어줘 내 심장을 적셔줘
너를 느낄 수 있게 나를 끌어안아줘
너의 품 너의 온기 너의 마음
오직 너 하나만 보여
다시 보고 싶다고 빌어
지금 이 순간 따스한 꽃 향기 바람도
구름 한 점 없이 맑은 저기 하늘도
다 모든 게 차갑고
저 맑은 하늘도 다 어두워
너 빼면 시체인 내가 무슨 숨을 쉬어
아파 나 항상 cry cry cry
나 미치고 너 없이 지치고
니 생각 수시로
다 미 미워 매일이 시 싫어
날 울려 링딩동
기회가 있다면 널 잡아
나 달려 시작해 count down
장미 같은 니 품에 찔릴 각오로
다시 널 안아
나 오직 너 밖엔 안보여
봐 공정하지 공평하지
너한테 빼곤 다
이젠 단 하루도 너 없이는 Please
꽉 잡아줘 날 안아줘
Can you trust me
Can you trust me
Can you trust me
꽉 끌어안아줘
꽉 잡아줘 날 안아줘
Can you trust me
Can you trust me
제발 제발 제발 끌어안아줘
차가워진 니 표정이
말 대신 모든 걸 대변해
이별이 밀물처럼
내게 떠밀려오는 걸 대면해
곧 마지막이란 걸 알지만
널 놓아줄 수는 없는걸
말하지 마 떠나지 마
조용히 나를 안아줘 girl
날 잡아줘 잡아줘
날 안아줘 안아줘
꽉 안아줘
Trust me trust me
Trust me trust me
Trust me
꽉 잡아줘 꽉 잡아줘
날 안아줘
Can you trust me
Can you trust me
제발 제발 제발 끌어안아줘
여전히 너에게선 빛이 나
여전히 향기 나는 꽃 같아
이제 나를 믿어줘
다시 나를 잡아줘
너를 느낄 수 있게
나를 끌어안아줘
[English Translation:]
The grievance is killing me now, I empty my glass
I just want to lose everything
Why did I question before listening
On the road, the abandoned garbage bag too
In the wind, they make a lonely sound
You just painted over my blank paper
When I come to my sense
It’s already become a painting
My hand-phone and yours
If they fall, you know they’ll break
Only the scent of your body makes me whole
Come and hold me
Only you, I see just you
Other than you, I see nothing
Look, it’s justice, it’s equitable
All except for you
Just a single day now without you is Please
Hold me tight, hug me
Can you trust me
Can you trust me
Can you trust me
Embrace me tight
Hold me tight, hug me
Can you trust me
Can you trust me
Please please please embrace me
As always you light me up
You are still like a fragrant flower
Believe in me now
Hold me again
So I can feel you
Give me an embrace
Without you, I can’t breathe
Without you, I’m nothing
Open your closed heart, dampen my heart
Give me an embrace so I can feel you
Your hold, your warmth, your heart
I want to see it again, I beg of you
In this moment, the warm wind of flower fragrance too
A clear sky over there without a speck of cloud as well
Everything is cold
The bright sky is also all darkening
Without you, what does this corpse of mine breathe
It hurts, I always cry cry cry
I’m going crazy and without you I’m tired
From the thoughts of you
I hate hate everything, I hate hate everyday
Ring me up, ring ding dong
If there’s an opportunity, I’ll hold you
I started to run, countdown
Prepared to be speared by your rose-like heart
I’ll hug you again
Only you, I see just you
Other than you, I see nothing
Look, it’s justice, it’s equitable
All except for you
Just a single day now without you is Please
Hold me tight, hug me
Can you trust me
Can you trust me
Can you trust me
Embrace me tight
Hold me tight, hug me
Can you trust me
Can you trust me
Please please please embrace me
Your expression became cold
Instead of words, I’ll speak for everything like this
Coming to me like the tide
I can’t let you go
Don’t say a word, don’t go away
Hug me silently girl
I meet the farewell with you
Even though I know it’s nearly the end
Please hold me, hold me
Please hug me, hug me
Hold me tight
Trust me trust me
Trust me trust me
Trust me
Hold me tight, hold me tight
Hug me
Can you trust me
Please please please embrace me
Can you trust me
As always you light me up
You are still like a fragrant flower
Believe in me now
Hold me again
So I can feel you
Pull me into your embrace
Exploring Longing and Vulnerability in “Hold Me Tight”
BTS’s “Hold Me Tight (잡아줘)” dives deep into the overwhelming emotions that come with heartbreak and longing. The lyrics paint a picture of someone grappling with loss, desperately clinging to love and memories as they fear being left behind. Phrases like “Can you trust me?” and “Hold me tight, hug me” are repeated with urgency, expressing a plea for reassurance and comfort. The song’s metaphors—like feeling incomplete without the other person or likening their absence to not being able to breathe—highlight the intensity of romantic dependence. The writing is honest and raw, exposing the vulnerability that often comes with love, especially when it feels like it’s slipping away. Ultimately, “Hold Me Tight” is a soul-baring confession of needing another’s presence to feel whole.
