세상은 참 컸어 너무 작은 나
이제 난 상상할 수도 없어
향기가 없던 텅 비어있던 나 나
I pray
Love you my brother 형들이 있어
감정이 생겼어 나 내가 됐어
So I'm me
You make me begin
You make me begin
You make me begin
(Smile with me, smile with me, smile with me)
You make me begin
(Smile with me, smile with me)
참을 수가 없어, yeah
울고 있는 너
대신 울고 싶어
할 순 없지만
You make me begin
You make me begin
You make me begin
(Cry with me, cry with me, cry with me)
You make me begin
(Cry with me, cry with me)
죽을 것 같아 형이 슬프면
형이 아프면 내가 아픈 것보다 아파
Brother let's cry, cry 울고 말자
슬픔은 잘 모르지만 그냥 울래
Because, because
You made me again
You made me again
You made me again
(Fly with me, fly with me, fly with me)
You made me again
(Fly with me, fly with me)
You make me begin, oh wow
You made me again
The lyrics to BTS's song "Begin" are a heartfelt tribute to the power of brotherhood and the transformative impact that this bond can have on a person's life. The opening lines paint a picture of a vulnerable and confused young person struggling to find their place in the world. The phrase "amugeotdo eopsdeon yeoldaseot-ui na" (meaning "the fifteen-year-old version of me with nothing") speaks to a sense of emptiness and lack of direction that can be all too common during adolescence.
The lyrics then acknowledge the key role that the singer's older brothers played in helping him find his way. The line "saranghae my brother hyeongdeuri iss-eo" (meaning "love you my brother, my hyungs are here") is a powerful expression of gratitude to these important figures. The singer then goes on to describe how this love and support allowed him to grow and find his own voice: "gamjeong-i saeng-gyeoss-eo na naega doeeoss-eo, so I'm me now I'm me" (meaning "emotions were born, I became myself, so I'm me now I'm me").
The chorus emphasizes the transformative power of brotherhood once more, with the repeated refrain "you make me begin" serving as a reminder of the profound impact a supportive community can have on an individual. The song ends with a call to action for all brothers to come together in times of sadness and grief, adding another layer of meaning to the song's message of unity and support.
Overall, "Begin" is a touching and deeply personal song that speaks to the power of brotherhood and the importance of community in our lives.
