MAMA
방탄소년단 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
춤에 미쳐 엄마 허리띠를 졸라맸지
아빠 반대에도 매일 달려들 때
아랑곳하지 않고
띄워주신 꿈의 조각배
But 몰랐지 엄마의 큰 보탬이
펼쳐 있는 지름길 아닌
빚을 쥔 이 꿈의 길
(Always) 문제의 money 어머닌 결국
(Go away) 타지로 일하러 가셨어전화로
듣는 엄마의
목소리는 선명하고
기억나는 건
그때 엄마의 강인함이 내겐 변화구
정말로
꼭 성공해야겠다고 결심하고
그 다짐 하나로
지금의 아들로
Hey mama
이젠 내게 기대도 돼 언제나 옆에
Hey mama
내게 아낌없이
주셨기에 버팀목이었기에
Hey mama
이젠 아들내미 믿으면 돼 웃으면 돼
Hey mama
Hey mama
Hey mama
I'm sorry mama
하늘같은 은혜 이제 알아서 mama
Hey mama
So thanks mama
내게 피와 살이 되어주셔서 mama
기억해 mom?
문흥동 히딩크 pc방,
브로드웨이 레스토랑
가정 위해 두 발 뛰는 베테랑
실패는 성공의 어머니 어머니
그런 열정과 성심을 배워
Wanna be wanna be
이제 나도 어른이 될 때
새싹에 큰 거름이 되었기에
꽃이 되어 그대만의 꽃길이 될게
You walking on way way way
Hey mama
이젠 내게 기대도 돼 언제나 옆에
Hey mama
내게 아낌없이
주셨기에 버팀목이었기에
Hey mama
이젠 아들내미 믿으면 돼 웃으면 돼
Hey mama
Hey mama
세상을 느끼게 해준
그대가 만들어준 숨
오늘따라 문득
더 안고 싶은 품
땅 위 그 무엇이 높다 하리오
하늘 밑 그 무엇이 넓다 하리오
오직 하나 엄마 손이 약손
그대는 영원한 나만의 placebo
Hello mom
Hey mama
이젠 내게 기대도 돼 언제나 옆에

The song MAMA by BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) delves into the memories of the members' past and pays tribute to their mothers. The opening lines, "Time travel 2006년의 해" (Time travel, the year of 2006), take us back to the year when BTS began their journey in the music industry. The lyrics describe how their moms supported them through tough times, often working multiple jobs to make ends meet, as they chased their dreams in Seoul. Despite the financial struggles and opposition from their fathers, their mothers continued to encourage them to follow their passion, even when it meant taking on debt.
The chorus, "Hey mama, now you can rely on me, always by your side," expresses gratitude to their mothers for being their pillars of support and for sacrificing their own dreams to help their sons reach theirs. The line "실패는 성공의 어머니" (Failure is the mother of success) acknowledges that the hardships they faced in the past have ultimately made them stronger, and they credit their mothers for instilling in them a drive to never give up.
The song ends on a heartfelt note, as the members express their desire to hold onto their mothers and never let go. The line "세상을 느끼게 해준 그대가 만들어준 숨" (The breath that made me feel the world, you are the one who created it) is a way of saying that without their mothers, they wouldn't be where they are today.
Overall, MAMA is a touching tribute to the members' mothers and a reminder that no matter how successful they become, their moms will always be the ones who believed in them before anyone else.

Time travel 2006년의 해
Let's go back in time to 2006
춤에 미쳐 엄마 허리띠를 졸라맸지
Mom lost her belt dancing
아빠 반대에도 매일 달려들 때
Even though Dad objected, I chased my dream every day
아랑곳하지 않고 띄워주신 꿈의 조각배
I was given wings to my dreams and I never looked back
But 몰랐지 엄마의 큰 보탬이
But I didn't know the burden my mother was carrying
펼쳐 있는 지름길 아닌 빚을 쥔 이 꿈의 길
The path I chose was not the shortcut but the one with debts
(Always) 문제의 money 어머닌 결국 (Go away) 타지로 일하러 가셨어 전화로
Money issues forced Mom to work in another city and we could only talk on the phone
듣는 엄마의 목소리는 선명하고
Mom's voice through the phone is clear
기억나는 건 그때 엄마의 강인함이 내겐 변화구
I remember how my mom's resilience made a change in me
정말로 꼭 성공해야겠다고 결심하고
I made up my mind that I must succeed
그 다짐 하나로 지금의 아들로
That determination made me who I am now
Hey mama 이젠 내게 기대도 돼 언제나 옆에
Hey mama, you can rely on me now, I'll always be there
내게 아낌없이 주셨기에 버팀목이었기에
You gave me everything, were my support and my backbone
이젠 아들내미 믿으면 돼 웃으면 돼
You can trust me now, just smile
Hey mama I'm sorry mama
Hey mama, I'm sorry
하늘같은 은혜 이제 알아서 mama
I realize now how gracious you were, mama
So thanks mama
So, thank you, mama
내게 피와 살이 되어주셔서 mama
For giving me your flesh and blood, mama
기억해 mom? 문흥동 히딩크 pc방, 브로드웨이 레스토랑
Remember, mom? The PC bang in Moonheung-dong, the Broadway restaurant?
가정 위해 두 발 뛰는 베테랑
The veteran who ran around for the family
실패는 성공의 어머니 어머니
Failure is the mother of success, mother
그런 열정과 성심을 배워 Wanna be wanna be
I learned that kind of passion and sincerity, wanna be wanna be
이제 나도 어른이 될 때 새싹에 큰 거름이 되었기에
Now that I've grown up, I can be a great support for you
꽃이 되어 그대만의 꽃길이 될게
I'll become a flower and create your own flower path
You walking on way way way
You're walking on your own way, way, way
세상을 느끼게 해준 그대가 만들어준 숨
The breath you gave me made me feel the world
오늘따라 문득 더 안고 싶은 품
Today, I just want to be held by you more
땅 위 그 무엇이 높다 하리오 하늘 밑 그 무엇이 넓다 하리오
What's above the earth is high, and what's below the sky is wide
오직 하나 엄마 손이 약손
Only one thing, mom's hands are frail
그대는 영원한 나만의 placebo
You're my eternal placebo
Hello mom
Hello, mom

Son unos genios!!!
Nunca tuve idols en mí vida, pero BTS me conquistó el alma, el cuerpo, la mente. Todo en vibra cuando los escucho....y el momento se llena de color, pasión, amor y un multiverso sin comparaciones!!!
amanda dewi
The show like their concert... amazing... my boys always do their best for Armys
Елена Барбашова
Я просто зависла на ВТS! Я их толь ко открыла для себя! Почему я раньше их не видела? Их нельзя просто слушать, их нужно чувствовать, ощущать! Их голоса, танцы это как-то невозможно разъединить. Бедные молодые девочки, это же с ума можно сойти!!!! Мне 56 лет, а я с утра и до вечера с их песнями. Это даже не песни! Это такое зрелище, ну это !!!!!!!!!
Olga Telyuk
Ооооо......Да.......Я прям полностью согласна .....Со мной тоже самое......Я их только открыла для себя! и мне 47....
