뱁새 [Baepsae] [English translation]

They call me a try-hard.

Our generation has had it hard.

Hurry, chase ‘em,

thanks to those that came before us I’m spread too thin.

They call me a try-hard.

Our generation has had it hard.

Hurry, chase ‘em.

My teachers were born with it all.*

At my part time job, it’s “all for experience”.*

At school, there’s the teachers.

My superiors use violence.

In the media they go on about “the generation that’s given up.”

Change the rules, change change.

The ones who came before us want to, want to maintain.

But we can’t do that, bang bang.

This ain’t normal.

This ain’t normal.

Ah, stop going on about ‘effort’ and more ‘effort’.*

Ah, it makes my skin crawl.

Ah, try harder, ah, try harder.

Ah, you really don’t have a chance.*

As expected of the ones before us!

Ah, stop going on about ‘effort’.

Ah, it makes my skin crawl.

Ah, try harder, ah, try harder.

Ah, you really don’t have a chance.

(As expected of them*), they meet your expectations.

(As expected of them), they’ve earned their name.

(As expected of them), they can just take it all.

My teachers were born with it all.

I’ve got a crow-tit’s legs, and you have a stork’s legs.

They all say their legs are worth a million bucks.

My legs are shorter, so how do you expect me to keep up?

They say it shouldn’t matter since we’re coming from the same place.

Never, never, never.

Change the rules, change change.

The ones who came before us want to, want to maintain.

But we can’t do that, bang bang.

This ain’t normal.

(As expected of them)

It’s my fault? You’re joking, right?

This is fair? Oh, are you crazy?

This is right? You must be kiddin’ me!

You must be kiddin’ me,

you you must be kiddin’ me!

Ah, stop going on about ‘effort’ and more ‘effort’.
