Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Counting stars 밤하늘에 펄
Better than your 루이비통
Your 루이비통
Counting stars, stars
밤하늘에 펄
Better than your 루이비통
Your 루이비통
Yeah, Salvador Dali and I'm Picasso
별들은 내 작품을 전시 밀라노에
Not 일방통행 나 피만 토했던
시절을 생각하면 눈물이 핑 도네
My grandfather 요양병원 가시던 날이야
대성통곡하며 인사
코로나 바이러스 면회 못 간대 (fuck Covid)
이제 할아버지 몸값 비싸
좋은 약 좋은 날 좋은 삶
좋은 것만 다 한데 모아
해드려야 하지 그의 손잔
서울대는 아니어도 곧잘 살아
이 새파란 놈은 걱정 마
이제 당신의 자식까지 사장 만들어
이게 나의 각오 yeah
Counting stars 밤하늘에 펄
Better than your 루이비통
Your 루이비통
Counting stars, stars
밤하늘에 펄
Better than your 루이비통
Your 루이비통 ya, ya
A Letter to my stepfather
기억나나요 내가 대학 갔을 때
축하한다며 주신 백만원으로
난 시작 했어요 내 세상을
낙원상가 가서 야마하 스피커랑
십 사만 원 짜리 마이크 사고
그때 우리 가족 잠실 살던 때
그때만 해도 내가 아저씨라고 아빠를 불렀던 때
But you're realer than my real father now
지금 눈물 참느라 비음 됐어 난
얼마 전 친구 아버지 사진 앞에서
그 상실감을 조금 체험했어 난
오늘 내 별이 몇 개 떴는진
모르지만 one thing that I know (I know)
아버지의 편지가 더 많았지 강원도의 별들보다도
I'm counting stars (stars)
밤하늘에 펄 (let it try)
Better than your 루이비통
Your 루이비통 (back to count)
I'm counting stars, stars
밤하늘에 펄 (let it try)
Better than your 루이비통
Your 루이비통 (count it, back to back, ayy)
Back to back, back to back, ayy
Back to back, rest, rest, ayy
Back to back, hmm, back to back, come on
Back to back, hmm, counting that, ayy
The song "Counting Stars" by BE'O is a tribute to the rapper's grandfather who passed away. The lyrics describe BE'O's journey as a musician and his struggles and successes in life. The song starts with "Wonder, wonder, counting stars" implying that he is reflecting on his life and taking stock of all the good things that have happened to him. The "stars" here may represent his achievements and accomplishments.
BE'O then compares himself to two of the greatest artists of all time, Salvador Dali and Picasso, with the line "Yeah, Salvador Dali and I'm Picasso". This signifies that he believes in his artistic abilities and that he considers himself a great artist. The next few lines mention how his grandfather used to go to the hospital and how he misses him. The reference to the coronavirus pandemic and how it has affected him and his family adds a touch of reality to the song.
The next verse, "A Letter to my step-father", is a heartfelt message to his stepfather thanking him for his support. He reminisces about how his stepfather gave him one million won (South Korean currency) to start his career as a musician. BE'O also recalls his time with his father, calling him "realer than my real father now". The last line, "아버지의 편지가 더 많았지 강원도의 별들보다도", translates to "My father's letters were more numerous than the stars in Gangwon Province." This line shows the deep emotional connection BE'O had with his late grandfather.
Overall, the song "Counting Stars" is an emotional journey that documents BE'O's struggles, successes, and tributes to his grandfather. The song has a beautiful melody and moving lyrics that make it a fan favorite.

아버지의 편지가 더 많았지 강원도의 별들보다도
My father's letters mean more to me than the stars in Gangwon Province
I'm counting stars (stars)
I'm still watching the stars shining brightly in the sky
let it try
Let's keep watching and enjoying the view
back to count
Let's go back to counting the stars again
back to back, ayy
Let's do it again, yeah
Back to back, rest, rest, ayy
Let's take a break and rest for a moment, yeah
Back to back, hmm, back to back, come on
Let's do it again, let's continue counting the stars
Back to back, hmm, counting that, ayy
Let's keep counting the stars, yeah

This songs speaks to my soul, they way BE'O sings "Counting stars, pearls in the night sky" melt me.
The lyrics of counting stars :
Counting stars
Pearls in the night sky
Better than your LV
Your LV
Counting stars stars
Pearls in the night sky
Better than your LV
Your LV
Yeah, Salvador Dali and I’m Picasso
The stars exhibit my work in Milan
It’s not one-way
I tear up just thinking about the times I coughing up blood
My grandfather
It was the day when he went to the nursing hospital
I said goodbye while wailing
“I can’t visit him because of COVID” (fxxc covid)
Now, my grandfather needs a lot of money
A good medicine, A good day, A good life
I should get all good things
and treat him
I didn’t go to Seoul National University, but I’m living quite well
Don’t worry about this young boy
I’ll even make your son a CEO
This is my determination, yeah
Counting stars
Pearls in the night sky
Better than your LV
Your LV
Counting stars stars
Pearls in the night sky
Better than your LV
Your LV
A Letter to my step father
Do you remember when I went to the university?
With a million won you gave me to congratulate on my birthday
I started my world
I went to Nakwon Shopping Center to buy Yamaha speakers
And a mic that cost 140,000 won
When my family lived in Jamsil
Back then, I used to call my dad “old man”
But you’re realer than my real father now
I’m trying to hold back my tears
A few days ago, in front of my friend’s father’s photo,
I experienced a sense of loss
How many stars did I get today?
I don’t know, one thing that I know
I had more letters from my father
More than the stars in Gangwon-do,
I’m counting stars
Pearls in the night sky
Better than your LV
Your LV
I’m counting stars stars
Pearls in the night sky
Better than your LV
Your LV
