Another Level English Translation Lyrics by Jin (BTS)
Stay
숨결조차 닿지 않던 나의 미로 Stage
My maze stage, where even my breath couldn’t reach
쳇바퀴에 갇혀 버린 Days
Days trapped in a hamster wheel
한계 없이 닿는 대로 힘껏 도약해
I leap with all my might, reaching as far as I can without limits
끝을 향해 불태워내
Burning toward the end
I will keep on fighting
I will keep on fighting
끝도 없이 몰아쳐도 멈추지 않아
Even if it rushes on endlessly, I won’t stop
(Nobody can stop me)
(Nobody can stop me)
거친 그 비바람 더 불어도
Even if the rough storm blows harder
한 걸음 내디뎌 가
I take one step forward
Don’t be scared
Don’t be scared
나 때론 무너져도
Even if I crumble sometimes
한 걸음
One step
We’ll bounce back and hit, bounce back and hit
We’ll bounce back and hit, bounce back and hit
나 이제
Now I
저 빛을 향해서 걸어
Walk toward that light
한 발 더
One more step
We’ll bounce back and hit another level
We’ll bounce back and hit another level
새벽은 저 멀리 긴긴 날을 견뎌
The dawn endures through the long, distant day
밤을 지새운 해는 끝없이 번져 가
The sun that stayed up through the night spreads endlessly
I will keep on fighting
I will keep on fighting
끝도 없이 몰아쳐도 멈추지 않아
Even if it rushes on endlessly, I won’t stop
(Nobody can stop me)
(Nobody can stop me)
거친 그 비바람 더 불어도
Even if the rough storm blows harder
한 걸음 내디뎌 가
I take one step forward
Don’t be scared
Don’t be scared
나 때론 무너져도
Even if I crumble sometimes
한 걸음
One step
We’ll bounce back and hit, bounce back and hit
We’ll bounce back and hit, bounce back and hit
나 이제
Now I
저 빛을 향해서 걸어
Walk toward that light
한 발 더
One more step
We’ll bounce back and hit another level
We’ll bounce back and hit another level
We’ll bounce back and hit, bounce back and hit
We’ll bounce back and hit, bounce back and hit
한 발 더
One more step
We’ll bounce back and hit another level
We’ll bounce back and hit another level

Translation: “Days trapped in a hamster wheel”- Note: “쳇바퀴” (hamster wheel) symbolizes a repetitive, unchanging routine. It’s a metaphor for being stuck in a cycle with no progress.
- “한계 없이 닿는 대로 힘껏 도약해”
