악센트들이 멋은 있다 (huh?)
하지만 여긴
표준인 만큼 정직해
처음과 끝이 분명하고
딱 정립된
한국말의 표본으로 정리되지
Only ours goes with English

Okay 솔직히 솔직해질게
경상도 사투리는 남자라면
쓰고 싶게 만들어
전라도 말들은
너무나 친근해
한번 입에 담으면
어우야 내가 다 기쁘네
Why keep fighting
결국 같은 한국말들
올려다 봐 이렇게

Yo once again
Big hit represent
We are BTS let’s go
From Seoul to gangwon, kyeongsangdo
Chungcheong to jeolla
What is he saying (what)
What is he saying (what)
From Seoul to gangwon, kyeongsangdo
Chungcheong to jeolla
Tell them that we have come (what)
We’re real hot stuff
Hello misters
My hometown is daegu
So today, I’ll rap in satoori
Let’s play
Not caring about
The other boys and girls
Hello everyone
Oh my, what is this?
Why are you
Rapping like that?
Misters and mrs.’s
Don’t just stand there
Come out and have fun
When it comes to kyeongsangdo
The successors of silla’s hwarang1
Keep growing
When it comes to satoori
Kyeongsangdo is the best
It’s tasty and sounds good
Perfect for our sentiment
Hyung, we have that too – did you eat?
This bibimbap is the best2
I haven’t even started talking yet so
I’m gonna let it all out later
Is that the guy? do you know this phrase?3
Kyeongsangdo is bad? who says
What are you saying? kyeongsangdo is all
About sharing, why don’t you come here and
See for yourself?
Forget it! I’m a daegu guy so I don’t say
Things twice
Yes, yes, kyeongsangdo is the best
I’ll just give it to you
We’re not strangers
What did you just say?
Oh my, your smack talk about jeollado
Is making people clam up
But all they need is to eat heuksando’s
Skatefish4 to clear their minds
So are you okay with that?
I got a child whose in the
Eight to ninth month
A champion who weights 20kg
As big as the watermelon from mt. mudeung5
You take one look at
It’s clearly a bangtan
Who will make girls cry
From Seoul to gangwon, kyeongsangdo
Chungcheong to jeolla
What is he saying (what)
What is he saying (what)
From Seoul to gangwon, kyeongsangdo
Chungcheong to jeolla
Tell them that we have come (what)
We’re real hot stuff
[J-Hope and Suga talking]
Hey you country boys
I have a Seoul state of mind
I was born in Seoul
So I learned the Seoul language well
Although these days
Satoori is highly regarded
Yes, I’ll admit it
The accents are pretty cool
But as much as
It’s the standard language here
It’s that much honest
The beginning and end
Are clear and organized
As the example of a
Well-built Korean language
Only ours goes with English
Y’all never understand it
Okay, I’ll honestly become honest
Kyeongsangdo accents
Make guys want to use it
Jeollado words sound so friendly
Once I start to use it, I get all happy
Why keep fighting
In the end, it’s all the same Korean
Look up, we are all
Looking at the same sky
This may make you cringe a little
But everyone is awesome
We can all communicate
From moonsan to marado
From Seoul to gangwon, kyeongsangdo
Chungcheong to jeolla
What is he saying (what)
What is he saying (what)
From Seoul to gangwon, kyeongsangdo
Chungcheong to jeolla
Tell them that we have come (what)
We’re real hot stuff
From Seoul to gangwon, kyeongsangdo
Chungcheong to jeolla
What is he saying (what)
What is he saying (what)
From seoul to gangwon, kyeongsangdo
Chungcheong to jeolla
Tell them that we have come (what)
We’re real hot stuff
