ON (Japanese Version) – BTS


I can’t understand what people are sayin’

どのリズムに合わすべき

一歩ずつ踏み 一歩ずつ伸びるshadow

眠りから覚めたここは

Is it Seoul or New York or Paris

ふらつく足元も

Look at my feet, look down

Shadows like me, nah

揺れるのはその影か

それかこの足だけか

怖くないわけないさ

平気なわけないさ

Every time, I know

必死に I flow

あの真っ黒い風とfly now

Hey na, na, na

まともじゃいられない世界へ

Hey na, na, na

この身全てを投げ出して

Hey na, na, na

Can’t hold me down

‘Cause you know I’m a fighter

自ら囚われの身へ

Find me and I’m gonna live with ya

(Eh-oh)

持って来い bring the pain, oh yeah

(Eh-oh)

乗ってみな bring the pain, oh yeah

Rain be pourin’

Sky keep fallin’

Everyday oh na, na, na

(Eh-oh)

持って来い bring the pain, oh yeah

Bring the pain

いずれは身になるから

Bring the pain

No fear, 道わかるから

わずかな breathe

それは僕の中の光

僕らしい力になり

再び立ち上がり scream

再び立ち上がり scream

今までそうだったように

例えこの膝ついたとしても

倒れない以上

ただよくあるハプニング程度のよう

Win no matter what

Win no matter what

Win no matter what

Even you gon’ say, even who gon’ say

I don’t give a uhh

I don’t give a uhh

I don’t give a uhh, yeah

Hey na, na, na

まともじゃいられない世界へ

Hey na, na, na

この身全てを投げ出して

Hey na, na, na

Can’t hold me down

‘Cause you know I’m a fighter

自ら囚われの身へ

Find me and I’m gonna live with ya

(Eh-oh)

持って来い bring the pain, oh yeah

(Eh-oh)

乗ってみな bring the pain, oh yeah

Rain be pourin’

Sky keep fallin’

Everyday oh na, na, na

(Eh-oh)

持って来い bring the pain, oh yeah

痛みのある方で

この呼吸をさせて

My everythin’

My blood and tears

Got no fears

I’m singin’ ohhhhh

Oh, I’m takin’ over

You should know, yeah

Can’t hold me down

‘Cause you know I’m a fighter

闇の中へ自らdive

Find me and I’m gonna bleed with ya

(Eh-oh)

持って来い bring the pain, oh yeah

(Eh-oh)

乗ってみな bring the pain, oh yeah

Rain be pourin’

Sky keep fallin’

Everyday oh na, na, na

(Eh-oh)

Find me and I’m gonna bleed with ya

(Eh-oh)

持って来い bring the pain, oh yeah

(Eh-oh)

乗ってみな bring the pain, oh yeah

All that I know

Is just goin’ on & on & on & on

(Eh-oh)

持って来い bring the pain, oh yeah
