Ayo SUGA (왜?) 요즘 날 떠다니는 단어
“Respect” 근데 요샌 뜻이 좀 헷갈려
그걸 한대 누굴 자꾸 뭐만 하면 (왜?)
나도 잘은 몰라 brotha 낸들 알어
분명히 사랑보다 상위
상위 어쩜 그 중 최상위
에 존재하고 있는 개념이
존경이란 거 아냐 huh?
“Re-spect” 말 그대로 보고 자꾸 보는 거
자꾸 보다보면은 단점이 보여
But 그럼에도 자꾸 보고 싶단 건
필요하지 그 누구를 향한 완벽한 신념
해서 난 도무지 쉽게 말 못 해
아득하거든 그 무게와 두께
언젠가 당당히 말할 수 있게 되기를
진심을 다해서 내게도 네게도
부디 존경을 쉽게 말하지 마 yeah
아직 나도 잘 모르겠으니까 yeah
나도 가끔 내가 무서우니까
약한 내가 간파당하면 어쩌지

Respect이 뭐길래
다들 respect을 말하는지
솔직히 이해가 안 되네
누구를 존경한다는 게
그렇게 쉬운 거였니 (맞아요!)
아직도 이해가 안 되네
솔까 존경은 필요 없지 (맞아요, 형!)
존중조차도 없는데 (인정!)
뒤에선 호박씨 까는 거
너 빼곤 다 아는데 글쎄 (호박씨)
나는 솔직히 너를 respect
너도 나를 respect 할 거라는 생각은 1도 없으니 스킵해
Respect 나는 너를 respect
웃으면서 욕하는 저 친구에게 박수

[Outro:

존경, 뭐 다시 드려다 보라는 걸, 모르겠습니다
존중, 뭐?
존중, 존경
뭐 이게 리스펙이 아니겠나, 뭐 그런 생각을 막 하게 되는데
영어는 어렵습니다

Ayo SUGA, (What?) there’s a word that’s been floating around me these days
“Respect”, but these days I’m a little confused about what it means
People keep saying it of someone whatever they do (Why?)
I don’t know either brotha, Damned if I know
It’s definitely of a higher status than love
Highly ranked, perhaps even the highest of them all
The concept that exists at the top
Isn’t it respect, huh? (That's what I thought)
“Re-spect”, like the word itself, it's looking and looking again
If you keep looking at it, you see its flaws
But even so, the fact that I still want to keep looking at it means
It’s necessary, absolute trust in someone
So I simply can't say this easily
It's impossible, because of its weight and density (It is pretty dense)
I hope I can say it with confidence one day
With all my sincerity, to myself and to you
Please don’t say ‘respect’ so easily yeah
Because I don’t know either yeah
Because I’m sometimes afraid of myself too
What if they see through to the weak me
(Respect) You say it pretty easily
(Respect) When you don't even know what it is
(Respect) I hope you look into it again
(Respect) One time
(Respect) Two times
(Respect) I won’t say it so easily
(Respect) Even if I don’t know what it is yet
(Respect) I’ll say it some day
(Respect) One time
(Respect) Oh yeah
What is ‘respect’? (What is it, hyung?)
I’m asking because I don’t know, you brat (Oh? Right.)
What could respect be
That everyone keeps talking about 'respect'
Honestly I don’t get it
Is respecting someone
Really that easy? (That’s right!)
I still don’t get it
To be honest, we don't need respect (That’s right, hyung!)
When there's not even respect* (I agree!)
Well, everyone except you knows
That behind your back, they're shelling pumpkin seeds** (Pumpkin seeds)
Honestly, I respect you
I don't expect even a little that you would respect me too
So just skip it
Respect, I respect you
Applause to that friend over there smiling as he curses
(Respect Respect)
I hope your life is full of honour and prosperity
(Respect Respect)
I hope good fortune will forever be with you on your path ahead
(Respect Respect)
Money, honour, keep going, keep going
(Respect, Respect)
Yeah, I guess I respect you
(Respect) You say it pretty easily
(Respect) When you don't even know what it is
(Respect) I hope you look into it again
(Respect) One time
(Respect) Two times
(Respect) I won’t say it so easily
(Respect) Even if I don’t know what it is yet
(Respect) I’ll say it some day
(Respect) One time
(Respect) Oh yeah
[Outro:
Hey punk, do you know what respect is?
I don't, hyungnim
I don't know either
Wow, is 'respect' really this difficult?
Respect, looking into it again and stuff, i don't know
Respect (존경), eh?
Respect (존중), respect (존경)*
Well ain’t that “respect” (in English)? That's what I’ve started thinking anyway
English is hard
It really is]
Translator’s Notes:
* In Korean, 존경 and 존중 both mean respect. However, 존경 has a meaning of ‘admire’ and ‘esteem’, while 존중 means ‘acknowledge’ or ‘accept’.
** “To shell pumpkin seeds” means “to make fun of someone behind their backs” or “to do something in front, then do the opposite behind”.
