If I Ruled the World
방탄소년단 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I ruled the world (ya) I'd do it all
(Westside, westside, westside)
Westside till die, gimme the real world man
If I ruled the world I'd do it all
(Westside, westside, westside)
Ladies, BTS

If I ruled the world, I'd have it all
남자라면 똑같겠지, pretty girls
완전히 없어지네 인종차별
European, Asian, Caucasian girls (I have 'em)
그리곤 불러 릭오웬스, 앤드뮬뮈스터
알렉산더 왕 and 셰인 올리버
평생 만들게 해 김남준 컬렉션
옷 색깔은 까만색으로, 이제야 좀 만족스러워
Yeah, music, turn it up 지루해져 후비는 콧구멍
노랠 만들어 지구 상 모든 사람들에게 부르게 해
노래 제목은 애구가
예쁜 여자들에게 파묻혀 TV를 봐
세상의 모든 여자들 날 위해 ready to die
남자들 너넨 술 가져와, 그냥 없어져도 좋아
어쨌든 여긴 내 왕국이니까

If I ruled the world
I'd do it all (I'd do it all)
I said one for the money, two for the money, yeah eh eh
If I ruled the world
I'd do it all (I'd do it all)
I said one for the money, two for the money, eh eh

Everybody say he-o-e-oh-oh! (he-o-e-oh-oh!)
Everybody say he-o-e-oh-oh! (he-o-e-oh-oh!)
Everybody say hey, ho! (hey, ho!) hey-hey-ho! (hey-hey-ho!)
말도 안 된다는 걸 아는데 불러 보는 철없는 노래

If I ruled the world 가끔 꿈을 꿔
내가 만약 세상을 지배한다면
일단 먼저 난 공인중개사를 찾아가
가족과 함께 살 집을 사고파
그래, 그 다음은 내 장롱면허
잠에서 깨워 줘야지 4륜 구동
차를 구입하고 기름을 주입하고
이런 게 무리라도 무이자인 할부로
주식과 도박 그딴 건 안 하고파
세상을 지배했는데 왜 그리 꿈이 소박
하냐는 질문은 마 난 방탄 식구들과
그래도 여전히 I'm still 음악이 고파
난 힙합계의 김정은이 돼서
우리 음악 말곤 심의를 걸겠어
얼토당토아니한 꿈이지만
It's my dream 놀리지 마

If I ruled the world
I'd do it all (I'd do it all)
I said one for the money, two for the money, yeah eh eh
If I ruled the world
I'd do it all (I'd do it all)
I said one for the money, two for the money, eh eh

Everybody say he-o-e-oh-oh! (he-o-e-oh-oh!)
Everybody say he-o-e-oh-oh! (he-o-e-oh-oh!)
Everybody say hey, ho! (hey, ho!) hey-hey-ho! (hey-hey-ho!)
말도 안 된다는 걸 아는데 불러 보는 철없는 노래

Oh girl, 어디? Oh God, 여기!
세상에 모든 여자들은 Hope World, 줄 섰지
모든 money 거뜬하게 써도
내 지갑이란 골대에 돈이 골인 되지
또 겁 없이 무대 위를 걸어 다니지
달리지 않아도 갈수록 쌓여 가는 마일리지
이런 꿈들을 이젠 내게 곧 선물하겠어
방탄이란 이름 걸고 외쳐 if I ruled the world

If I ruled the world
I'd do it all (I'd do it all)
I said one for the money, two for the money, yeah eh eh
If I ruled the world
I'd do it all (I'd do it all)
I said one for the money, two for the money, eh eh

Everybody say he-o-e-oh-oh! (he-o-e-oh-oh!)
Everybody say he-o-e-oh-oh! (he-o-e-oh-oh!)




Everybody say hey, ho! (hey, ho!) hey-hey-ho! (hey-hey-ho!)
말도 안 된다는 걸 아는데 불러 보는 철없는 노래
