Video dedicated to Blue and Grey by BTS
I absolutely fell in love with this song off of BTS’s latest album BE, released this month. I read through the lyrics several times to get the feel of this melody, and hope I captured the intent. Below are the Romanized and English versions, translated from Korean (Hangeul).
[V] Where is my angel

Someone come and save me, please

English translation (interpretation may vary)
Where is my angel
Draped over the end of the day?
Someone come and save me, please
Only the sighs of a tiring day
Everyone looks happy
Can you look at me? Cuz I am blue & grey
The meaning of the tears reflected in the mirror
The colors hidden in my smile, blue & grey
I don’t know where it went wrong
A blue question mark in my head since I was a child
Maybe that’s why I lived so fiercely
But once I look back, once I stand still here
That menacing shadow swallows me up
The question mark, still blue
Is it uneasiness, melancholy?
Perhaps we really are animals of regret
Or perhaps it’s that I was born out of loneliness
I still don’t know, that menacing blue
I hope I don’t get consumed by it, I will find the exit
I just wanna be happier
Melt me who is cold
My hand reached out innumerable times
A colourless echo
Oh this ground feels so heavier
I am singing by myself
I just wanna be happier
Is even this too much to ask for?
The beating of my quickening heart
That I felt when I walked the cold winter streets
Even now, I still feel it
Don’t say it’s okay
Because it’s not okay
Please don’t leave me alone, it hurts too much…
The road that I always walk on, the light that always shines on me
But for some reason, today it’s an unfamiliar scene
Did I become too used to it or did it fall apart
But it’s heavy, this piece of metal
A grey rhinoceros coming towards me
I stand with unfocused eyes, all alone
This moment doesn’t seem like me
I’m just not scared
I don’t believe in the god that is certainty
Colorful words make me nervous
Wide gray areas put me at ease
Here there is the grey of a million faces
When it rains, it’s my world
I dance on top of this city
May the bright days have fog
May we be together always on wet days
And to all the dust here,
I raise a toast
I just wanna be happier
Feel the heat from my hands
I need you more because they are not warm
Oh this ground feels so heavier
I am singing by myself
Far in the future, if I smile
I’ll say, that’s how it used to be
As I secretly take back the words that are floating in the air
I fall asleep at dawn, good night…
