BTS “Yet to Come (The Most Beautiful Moment)” lyrics in English
[Intro: Jung Kook, Jimin, V, Jin]
Was it honestly the best?
‘Cause I just wanna see the next
Diligently passing through
All our yesterdays so beautifully
Yeah, the past was honestly the best
But my best is what comes next
I’m not playin’, nah for sure
Heading towards the day ’till I get winded
You and I, best moment is yet to come
Moment is yet to come, yeah
[Verse 1: V, Jung Kook]
Not sure since when
But they say we’re the best
Full of these unfamiliar names
Now they just feel heavy
We just loved music
We’re just running forward
Promise that we’ll keep on comin’ back for more
[Pre-Chorus: Jin, Jung Kook]
Somewhere deep inside your heart
There still lives a young boy
My-y-y-y moment is yet to come
Yet to come
[Chorus: SUGA, V, j-hope, Jin, *RM*, **Jimin**]
Uh, do you have a dream, what’s at the end of that path?
Moment is yet to come, yeah
Uh, in the hush of night, we won’t stop moving
Yet to come
*Uh, we gonna touch the sky, ‘fore the day we die*
**Moment is yet to come, yeah**
*Uh, this is only the beginning, the best yet to come*
[Verse 2: SUGA, RM]
That uncomfortable title we were given one day
We are still abashed by being called the best
You know, I, I just love music
Nothing much has changed from back then
If nothing much has changed, probably
You’ll say it’s all a lie, yeah
There were a lot of changes but
I’m still the same, a new chapter
Every moment is my new best
Like I’m thirteen years old again
Spittin’ bars just like I did back then, huh
[Verse 3: j-hope, RM, SUGA]
Still got a lot to learn
My life, got a lot to fulfill
If you’re askin’ me why
My heart’s tellin’ you
We ain’t about it
The world’s expectations
We ain’t about it
That step of being the best
We ain’t about it
Crowns and flowers, countless trophies
We ain’t about it
Dream and hope, and goin’ forward
We so about it
It’s back to square one after making one long turn, back to one
[Pre-Chorus: Jimin, V]
Somewhere deep inside your heart
There still lives a young boy
My-y-y-y moment is yet to come
Yet to come
[Chorus: SUGA, Jung Kook, j-hope, Jimin, *RM*, **Jin**]
Uh, do you have a dream? What’s at the end of that path?
Moment is yet to come, yeah
Uh, in the hush of night, we won’t stop moving
Yet to come
*Uh, we gonna touch the sky, ‘fore the day we die*
**Moment is yet to come, yeah**
*Uh, this is only the beginning, the best yet to come*
[Outro: Jin, Jung Kook, Jimin, V]
So was it honestly the best? (The best)
‘Cause I just wanna see the next (‘Cause I just wanna see the next, yeah)
Dazzlingly passing
Through the memories (Through) so beautifully (Beautifully)
Yeah, the past was honestly the best (The best)
But my best is what comes next (But my best is what comes next, yeah)
We’ll be singin’ till the morn
Heading towards (Towards) the day more like ourselves (Like)
You and I, best moment is yet to come
BTS “Yet to Come (The Most Beautiful Moment)” lyrics in Korean
[Intro: Jung Kook, Jimin, V, Jin]
Was it honestly the best?
‘Cause I just wanna see the next
부지런히 지나온
어제들 속에 참 아름답게
Yeah, the past was honestly the best
But my best is what comes next
I’m not playin’, nah for sure
그날을 향해 숨이 벅차게
You and I, best moment is yet to come
Moment is yet to come, yeah
[Verse 1: V, Jung Kook]
다들 언제부턴가
말하네 우릴 최고라고
온통 알 수 없는 names
이젠 무겁기만 해
노래가 좋았다고
그저 달릴 뿐이라고
Promise that we’ll keep on comin’ back for more
[Pre-Chorus: Jin, Jung Kook]
너의 마음속 깊은 어딘가
여전한 소년이 있어
My-y-y-y moment is yet to come
Yet to come
[Chorus: SUGA, V, j-hope, Jin, *RM*, **Jimin**]
Uh, 당신은 꿈꾸는가, 그 길의 끝은 무엇일까
Moment is yet to come, yeah
Uh, 모두가 숨죽인 밤, 우린 발을 멈추지 않아
Yet to come
*Uh, we gonna touch the sky, ‘fore the day we die*
**Moment is yet to come, yeah**
*Uh, 자 이제 시작이야, the best yet to come*
[Verse 2: SUGA, RM]
언젠가부터 붙은 불편한 수식어
최고란 말은 아직까지 낯간지러워
난 난 말야 걍 음악이 좋은 걸
여전히 그때와 다른 게 별로 없는걸
아마 다른 게 별로 없다면
You’ll say it’s all a lie, yeah
난 변화는 많았지만
변함은 없었다 해, a new chapter
매 순간이 새로운 최선
지금 난 마치 열세 살
그때의 나처럼 뱉어, huh
[Verse 3: j-hope, RM, SUGA]
아직도 배울게 많고
나의 인생 채울게 많아
그 이유를 물어본다면
내 심장이 말하잖아
We ain’t about it
이 세상의 기대
We ain’t about it
최고란 기준의 step
We ain’t about it
왕관과 꽃, 수많은 트로피
We ain’t about it
Dream and hope, and goin’ forward
We so about it
긴긴 원을 돌아 결국 또 제자리, back to one
[Pre-Chorus: Jimin, V]
너의 마음속 깊은 어딘가
여전한 소년이 있어
My-y-y-y moment is yet to come
Yet to come
[Chorus: SUGA, Jung Kook, j-hope, Jimin, *RM*, **Jin**]
Uh, 당신은 꿈꾸는가, 그 길의 끝은 무엇일까
Moment is yet to come, yeah
Uh, 모두가 숨죽인 밤, 우린 발을 멈추지 않아
Yet to come
*Uh, we gonna touch the sky, ‘fore the day we die*
**Moment is yet to come, yeah**
*Uh, 자 이제 시작이야, the best yet to come*
[Outro: Jin, Jung Kook, Jimin, V]
So was it honestly the best? (The best)
‘Cause I just wanna see the next (‘Cause I just wanna see the next, yeah)
눈부시게 지나온
기억들 속에 (속에) 참 아름답게 (답게)
Yeah, the past was honestly the best (The best)
But my best is what comes next (But my best is what comes next, yeah)
We’ll be singin’ till the morn
그날을 향해 (향해) 더 우리답게 (답게)
You and I, best moment is yet to come
