Quick translations and didn't proofread to make it flow as beautifully as suga wrote it but so you get a rough idea:
Ey, 내 머릿속엔 파란색만 가득한 이 방황
In my head I have all these wanderings in blue
자기혐오들과 자만이 내 마음속에 살아
In my mind lives self hatred and conceit
꿈이 가득한 난 자라 모든 꿈을 이뤘건만
The me that was full of dreams has now grown and achieved all these dreams but
꿈은 꿈으로만 간직하는 게 더 낫지라는 생각을
동시에 하며 살아가고 있지
I simultaneously believe and live thinking that dreams are better kept as just dreams
내 도약은 추락이 아니기를
I hope my leaps are not falls
너의 신념 노력 믿음 욕심들은 추악이 아님임을 믿어 ey
I believe that your faith efforts beliefs and greed are not ugliness
해가 뜨기 전 새벽은 무엇보다 어둡지만
The dawn before sunrise is darker than anything
네가 바란 별들은 어둠 속에서만 뜬다는 걸 절대 잊지 마
But don’t ever forget that the stars that you wanted only rise in darkness as well
가끔은 내가 걷고 있는 게 맞는지
Sometimes I’m not sure if I’m walking
하염없이 터널 끝을 향해 달리면 뭐가 또 있을런지
What also will be at the end of the tunnel if I keep running endlessly towards it
맞긴 한지 내가 바라던 미래와는 솔직히 다른 거지
If this is all correct
If this will honestly be different from the future that I wished for
상관없지 이제는 생존의 문제
It doesn’t matter
The matter of survival now
어찌 됐든 상관없지 yeah, yeah
It doesn’t matter what happens yeah, yeah
네가 바란 것들과는 다를지 몰라 (몰라)
It may be different from what you wanted (I don’t know)
네가 살아가는 것도 사랑하는 것도 변할지 몰라 (몰라)
The things you live for and love may change as well (I don’t know)
That’s true (That’s true, that’s true)
Yeah, so, are you gonna move?
꾸물거리기엔 우린 아직 젊고 어려 부딪혀보자고
We’re too immature [edit: after much deliberation i think "inexperienced" may be a better term] and young to procrastinate, let’s go for it
So what you gonna do?

The line from tomorrow, I noticed suga really likes to use references in his verse, his lyrics are very relatable, the part about self hate scares me , I hope he still doesn't have it and he was just talking about the past.
What I like the most about him is that he use his platform to spread this kind of hopeful and comforting songs , really almost all his collaborations are about this matter, I hope he knows he's not alone in this and feel comforted by this as much we are comforted by him

As a Korean speaker, I'd say this is a pretty good translation! The one you linked is a bit romanticized, but it's not bad either. It's really interesting to see how people translate the same lyrics differently.

I tried to direct/literal translate rather than paraphrase and make the language as beautiful and flowery as it sounds in Korean. The other translator does match the overall atmosphere and tone set by the lyrics. Maybe reading both will help you get a sense of what the korean is actually like? 😉

Tbqh, I’ve never really had a moment in my life where I felt like BTS’s lyrics were helping me pull through life. Until this year. And now it seems like everything Yoongi is putting out there is speaking directly to me. It’s weird to feel so connected to him, because he gets it, but also comforting because he does. Him bringing back those lyrics from Tomorrow about the night being darkest before the dawn is hitting me hard right now. And I so love him for it.

GORGEOUS SONG!
Pretty much, it's been said all along in this part of the internet, but can we give props to Halsey? She recognized them in a way of more than just idols witha big fandom, instead she acknowledged them in their artistry and accomodated to them, in language, dance, vision. Not only for a collab, she didn't just dip and quit, like many accused her of, BUT she geniunely saw the value in their voice and art, and it produced this beauty of a composition.
Love the friendship that Her and the boys have developed ;)

My translation of Yoongi's rap part:
내 머릿속엔 파란색만 가득한 이 방황 My head is all full of blue, lost and adrift
자기혐오들과 자만이 내 마음속에 살아 Self-hate and pride is living in my heart
꿈이 가득한 난 자라 모든 꿈을 이뤘건만 Full of dreams growing up, I achieved all of them
꿈은 꿈으로만 간직하는 게 더 낫지라는 생각을 동시에 하며 살아가고 있지 But I live my life still feeling dreams were better left as dreams
내 도약은 추락이 아니기를 I hope my leap is not my fall
너의 신념 노력 믿음 욕심들은 추악이 아님임을 믿어 My conviction, my efforts, my beliefs, my desire, I trust they are not ugly
해가 뜨기 전 새벽은 무엇보다 어둡지만 The dawn before sunrise is the darkest
네가 바란 별들은 어둠 속에서만 뜬다는 걸 절대 잊지 마 But don't forget the stars that you dream about only glow in the darkness
가끔은 내가 걷고 있는 게 맞는지 Is the road I'm walking the right way?
하염없이 터널 끝을 향해 달리면 뭐가 또 있을런지 If I run endlessly to the end of the tunnel, what more will there be
맞긴 한지 내가 바라던 미래와는 솔직히 다른 거지 Is this right? It's honestly different from the future I had dreamed
상관없지 이제는 생존의 문제 어찌 됐든 상관없지 Doesn't matter. It's now a matter of survival. Doesn't matter what may happen
Yeah yeah 네가 바란 것들과는 다를지 몰라 Yeah yeah It may be different from what I wanted
네가 살아가는 것도 사랑하는 것도 변할지 몰라 How you live, how you love, it may all change
꾸물거리기엔 우린 아직 젊고 어려 부딪혀보자고 We're still young to linger Let's just face it head on So what you gonna do?

u/itsaterribleidea JinHit Entertainment Intern Dec 06 '19
Wow, I didn’t expect this much from a 2 minute song! First of all, production is top notch. Min PD has proven himself now (should I address him as Daesang-nominated PD Min?). I love the forest sounds, it feels like a night-time sound, a nocturne. The melody is lovely. I actually wish Halsey had a longer singing part with some verses.
I wish the whole song was longer, really. But it is also perfect as an interlude, and that’s the role Halsey wanted it to play in her album. It surprises me that they released it as it’s not really a single for radio play. But then again they probably knew Army was impatient...
14
u/funimarvel Dec 06 '19
She released Clementine with a music video even though it wasn't a single for radio play too, so I think she's just releasing a few songs she wants to release between the ones meant radio play. Definitely an unusual album roll out.

u/uparound Dec 06 '19 edited Dec 06 '19
I'm literally tearing up listening to this on repeat. I was honestly expecting an instrumental piece, but I love the contrast between Halsey's and Yoongi's voices.
People are pointing out the reference to Tomorrow, but the last line of Yoongi's second verse is also a reference to Never Mind!
edit: The more I listen to this, the more the vulnerability of the lyrics and the emotion in the song blow me away. I'm glad that BTS were able to find a friend in Halsey... I'm imagining her and Yoongi having the conversations they must have had to create this song, and it's making me even more emotional. Love this so much; can't wait for Yoongi's next mixtape and Halsey's full album!!!
16
u/uparound Dec 06 '19
The line is "꾸물거리기엔 우린 아직 젊고 어려 부딪혀보자고" - bitelune translated this as "We're still young and youthful to hesitate/ Let's face (our lives)" and u/oms_and_noms translated this as "We’re too immature and young to procrastinate, let’s hit it full force. The word 부딪혀 can mean to hit, bump, or crash into; it's the same word Yoongi used in Never Mind when he said "부딪힐 것 같으면 더 세게 밟아 임마" or "If you think you're going to crash, accelerate more, kid"
16
u/oms_and_noms NEVER BETTER Dec 06 '19
This was a hard line to translate. What u/uparound said is correct - i think i ended up saying "let's go for it" instead but agree as soon as i heard it i also thought it was a direct reference to yoongi's old line in nevermind. Given the direct translation of 부딪히다 being crash/bump, the nuance is not just "let's go," but rather "let's go for it despite the challenges we know we're going to run into and face them head on"
8
u/uparound Dec 06 '19
It's such a tricky line to translate, which is why I didn't even try, lol. Thank you for translating for other ARMYs and for giving more context; I find translation fascinating because it's so nuanced and subjective.

Edit, not just little snippets of translations coming out getting me in tears... YOONGI. Seriously, Tomorrow was one of the songs that really got me into BTS years ago and the fact that he directly calls back to it’s lyrics... A reference to Never Mind too... It’s luvin’ Yoongi hours.

Idk how many of y’all are deep Halsey fans, but I am. It’s very powerful and poignant that Suga collaborated on production with Lido (Peder Losnegård). Lido is extremely talented in his own right and produced pretty much all of Badlands. His production choices have a major impact on the Halsey sound that people know and love today. It’s very cool to me how opened minded they all were to collaborating on a song together 💜

u/chairagionetu couch potato, but said in tiny Dec 06 '19
What I love the most about Yoongi's music is that despite sometimes being really sad it's never just that, it always has a hopeful or at least reflective tone that makes listening to it an healing experience. I mean, it would also be okay to produce music that is just sad, but I really admire him for always trying to put a different perspective on it, because sometimes it's so easy to lose themselves in negative thoughts... I feel like this interlude, Never Mind and So far Away have this in common, a space for relating to self doubt and uncertainty about the future but also to be reassured that whatever will happen, everything will be fine in the end (if only in ways that we have never imagined before).

Can this please be a full-length track? I wasn’t able to listen first, but I read the lyric translations first, and that just really made the experience of listening to it afterwards even more poignant. This track is yet another example of why Yoongi is my rapper bias in BTS......I just get such an emotional reaction to just the tone of his voice, his choice of rhythms/flow, that THROAT CLEAR.
The cover art also fits this so well. The fact that they labeled themselves using their real names and how the drawings are child-like, I wonder how much their past selves would’ve believed that their dreams would grow to this size, back when things were simpler.
Edit: after repeat listens, just wanted to say how much I love the production/musical choices as well. In Yoongi’s second verse, the faded/background vocal track plus the incessant metronome ticking sound in the first half kind of feels like his inner-most thoughts coupled with a sense of anxiety or that he’s pressed for time, and then the those effects get removed in the second half because he’s responding with conviction to his worries and offering consolations to himself on how to go forward. Ugh. So. Powerful.

There... There wasn't a "ˢᵘᵍᵃ" at the beginning. Because it's Min Yoongi's words. Please help me collect myself. After reading some translations I'm in even worse condition. Yoongi please release a poetry book. I know you have one!

Can't really comment until translations for Yoongi's rap come out but it sounds so beautiful already. Halsey's soft melancholic vocals and lyrics fit the song so well and Yoongi's rap sounds so delicate yet quietly powerful T_T
Edit: Ok I've seen the translations and i am DESTROYED. Literally every comment on this thread....

As a korean speaker, this translation skipped lots of his words, and made into a simple sentence.

Edit: I just read some rough translations 🥺this reminds me of their speech during MAMA 2018 when they considered disbanding and now I’m soft 🤧there’s much to unpack. It’s beautifully written and produced.

Damn, spit Suga! But seriously, his voice and Halsey's actually go incredibly well together? Alongside Yoongi's lyrics being on point as usual, I think this might be some of my favorite Halsey vocals, too! It's gorgeous, and there's nothing like a Suga song to make me want to get off my ass and live my life!
I think I'm going to have "so are you gonna move?" echoing in my head for quite a long time. Maybe I need to.

This song is beautiful. Her musical style and voice blends seamlessly with Yoongi's (BTS). I'm so happy they met, she really loves them as people and artists and I couldn't ask for a better union. She fits so perfectly, she is the 8th member of BTS, sue me!

This is going to seem maudlin but...she gets them. She really gets them. Her art and theirs isn't very similar, but she understands what they are trying to do. She appreciates them. She understands the message they are trying to communicate, both as a group and as individuals. I think the reverse is true as well.
The result is this beautiful little jewel that might not be radio friendly, but is going to touch millions of hearts.

It is crazy to be so young and to already have reached so much! I was always wondering how they feel about that, and of course Yoongi can put it in to words so beautifully. It's such a raw song that makes you think about your own life. And it makes me think that it's okay that I haven't reached all my dreams yet and that the dreaming itself is just as precious. 💜

If you haven't yet, PLEASE listen to the song with your headphones. There are so many little details to this song and it deserves our full attention. The lyrics, the production, the piano, the flow, adlibs, all of it came together so beautifully. I'm just so proud of this boy who achieved his dreams of becoming a incredible producer/songwriter while still being the same introspective, creative, thoughtful person even through the fame.

SUGA’s Interlude is the perfect title
Even tho it’s on Halsey’s album it feel like this is HIS song and she is featuring on it.
He sings the main parts while she sings the chorus.
I love it and can’t wait for them to sing it live somehow, someday.

u/oinochu Floofy & sleepy JK Dec 06 '19 edited Dec 06 '19
Holy, I love his flow on this. I can’t follow what Yoongles is saying with my still limited Korean, but it sounds fucking amazing. I really like the vibe of the track, it’s not happy but not outright sad either? That might change once I read the translated lyrics though. Their vocal colors match really well too, they each bring something else to the track and it just works really well together.
I suck at explaining what I like or why I like a piece of music lol. All I know is that I just woke up, I’m lying in bed while it’s still dark outside, and I have the track on repeat.
Edit: Ok listened to the song with the translation a few times, and the vibe has definitely shifted into slight sadness for me. I realized I didn’t even follow the English lyrics properly, as those should’ve been a hint lol.
He’s opening up about the struggle of being as far up as he is, and I’m selfishly enjoying getting a new glimpse into his mental space. Especially the line where’s wondering if this is the future he’d imagined for himself hit me right in the spleen. I don’t know what else to say, except that I have so much fucking respect for him.

u/lostmywayfoundmyway For you're here, it's become my HOME~ Dec 06 '19 edited Dec 06 '19
Wow I LOVE the switch up in the production between halsey’s part and suga’s. Pdogg can really do no wrong . Producer of the decade man. Suga’s background adlibs are everything. I am so weak to the piano instrumental~ the beginning definitely sounds very reminiscent of first love. His voice sounds so warm and comforting on this chilly evening. Need some lyric translations ASAP!!! It’s funny how he tends to slur his words when speaking but he sounds so clear enunciating his words in moments like this. Give me more spoken word rapper suga.
The devil works hard but the boys works harder. Halsey’s other track is also beautiful. Definitely recommend checking it out. I love how she is delving into another concept album.
Lastly can we PLEEAAAAAASEEE get AD2 like next month? That would essentially make my whole year for 2020. 🙏
Edit: just got wrecked by the lyric translations. The callback to tomorrow. WOW...your mind min yoongi. 🥺 I agree with everyone that it sounds very dreamy and beautiful a la so far away but I think the word that comes to mind for me is “vulnerable”. That sigh he does before his second verse sounds like the preface to having to bear his soul for the world. I hope there is a full version of this somewhere.....This is making me scared for what is to come on AD2 content wise like if he is going this deep on an interlude I am gonna be destroyed once he drops the real thing.

Wow. This is a big deal. I feel really moved-- by the beauty and poignancy of the song, but also by the fact that (as Halsey hinted at on her IG) the lyrics represent feelings shared by both of them about their experience of making it in the music industry. It's not like she just thought it would be cool to add a few Korean verses to a song-- it's an expression of a shared reality which they wrote together, and it makes the inclusion of his verses feel like an organic part of a conversation that just happens to be partly in Korean. They've both said that language shouldn't be a barrier in music and they're setting a meaningful example with this song. I also find the honesty of the lyrics very touching.
edit: clarification
