[Korean:]
달과 지구는 언제부터
이렇게 함께했던 건지
존재로도 빛나는 너
그 곁을 나 지켜도 될지
너는 나의 지구
네게 난 just a moon
네 맘을 밝혀주는 너의 작은 별
너는 나의 지구
And all I see is you
이렇게 그저 널 바라볼 뿐인 걸
모두들 내가 아름답다 하지만
내 바다는 온통 까만 걸
꽃들이 피고 하늘이 새파란 별
정말 아름다운 건 너야
문득 생각해 너도 날 지금 보고 있을까
내 아픈 상처까지 네게 다 들키진 않을까
네 주위를 맴돌게
네 곁에 있어 줄게
네 빛이 되어 줄게
All for you
난 이름조차 없었어
내가 널 만나기 전까진
넌 내게 사랑을 줬고
이제는 내 이유가 됐어
너는 나의 지구
네게 난 just a moon
네 맘을 밝혀주는 너의 작은 별
너는 나의 지구
And all I see is you
이렇게 그저 널 바라볼 뿐인 걸
In the crescent moon night
두 눈을 감아도 넌 파랗게 내게 밀려와
In the full moon night
두 눈을 뜨고서 널 담아도 괜찮은 걸까
문득 생각해 너도 날 지금 보고 있을까
내 아픈 상처까지 네게 다 들키진 않을까
네 주위를 맴돌게
네 곁에 있어 줄게
네 빛이 되어 줄게
All for you
환한 낮에도
까만 밤에도
내 곁을 지켜주는 너
슬플 때에도
아플 때에도
그저 날 비추는 너
어떤 말보다
고맙단 말보다
난 너의 곁에 있을게
캄캄한 밤에
훨씬 더 환하게
너의 곁을 지킬게
문득 생각해 너는 널 정말 알고 있을까
네 존재가 얼마나 예쁜지 너 알고 있을까
네 주위를 맴돌게
네 곁에 있어 줄게
네 빛이 되어 줄게
All for you
[English translation:]
Since when the moon
And Earth this close to each other?
You shine just by existing
Can I stay by your side?
You are my Earth
To you I am just a moon
Your little star that brightens your heart
You are my Earth
And all I see is you
I am just gazing at you like this
Everyone says I am beautiful but
My oceans are all pitch-black
A star where flowers bloom and the sky is deep-blue
The one that’s truly beautiful is you
I wonder all of a sudden, are you also looking at me right now?
Even my painful scars, wouldn’t everything be found out by you?
I will orbit you
I will stay by your side
I will become your light
All for you
I didn’t even have a name
Until the moment I met you
You gave me love and
Now became my reason
You are my Earth
To you I am just a moon
Your little star that brightens your heart
You are my Earth
And all I see is you
I am just gazing at you like this
In the crescent moon night
Even after closing my eyes you rush in with your blue
In the full moon night
Would it be okay to hold you inside my eyes after opening them?
I wonder all of a sudden, are you also looking at me right now?
Even my painful scars, wouldn’t everything be found out by you?
I will orbit you
I will stay by your side
I will become your light
All for you
Even in the light of day
Even in the dark of night
You stay by my side
Even when I am sad
Even when I am hurt
You simply shine on me
Rather than saying anything
Rather than thanking you
I will stay by your side
In the pitch-dark night
I will protect that place next to you
More brightly
I wonder all of a sudden, do you really know yourself?
Do you know how pretty you are?
I will orbit you
I will stay by your side
I will become your light
All for you
A Celestial Love Story
“Moon” by BTS is a heartfelt ode to the unbreakable bond between the members and their fans. The lyrics use the metaphor of the moon and Earth to express unwavering devotion, portraying the singer as the moon who orbits and shines for the listener, their Earth. The song beautifully highlights feelings of adoration, gratitude, and the longing to stay close, even through darkness and pain. Despite being admired for its own beauty, the moon sees the Earth—its beloved—as the true source of light and inspiration, creating a sense of humility and deep affection.
Finding Meaning in Connection
Through lines reflecting vulnerability and self-discovery, “Moon” gently reminds us of the power of love and presence. The moon’s existence gains purpose only through its relationship with Earth, echoing the way support and love from others give life meaning. This poetic narrative resonates with anyone who has cherished someone so deeply that they find themselves transformed in the presence of that person.
