[RM의 Can We 가사]

Can we
다시 돌아갈수는 없는걸까
뭐 이미 돌이켜보니 이건 당연한결과
늦었지만 못해줘서 미안하고
널 좋아했던 마음만큼은 진짜였다고

더 I wanna tell you
이노래가 뭐 내게큰 value는 아니지만
너를 즐겁게 떠나보내려 애쓰는
내가 나도 참 안쓰러워
이별통보 5분후 이젠 가슴을 쓸어
담배보다 더 강한 널끊은 금단증상
어느날 갑작스럽게 이젠 다 그만두잔 말
그건 갑자기가아니였어
사실 나도 니느낌 대충은 느꼈었고 또 알았았어

그냥 뭐 그동안 많이 즐거웠다고
확실히 모르겠지만 사랑 느꼈었다고
다른남자들처럼 이별앞에 구차해지고싶지않아
Ma girl 이젠 goodbye

[English Translation]

Can We
Is there a way for us to turn back
Well I’m already looking back this is a natural conclusion
Although it’s late I’m sorry I couldn’t say how much I really liked you

More, I wanna tell you
This song, well, it doesn’t have a big value to me
But I also find myself pathetic for trying to send this to you happily
5 minutes after writing this breakup note now my heart is relieved
The withdrawal symptoms from you are stronger than smoking
One day suddenly your words “Let’s end everything”
All of the sudden we weren’t a thing
Honestly I also roughly felt and understood your feelings

It’s just that, well, back then we said we were really happy
Although we weren’t sure we said it felt like love
I don’t want to be pathetic like other men after a breakup
Ma girl now goodbye

RM

RM, was born in 1994 as Kim Namjoon (김남준), in Dongjak, South Korean (later, he grew up in Ilsan). He is a rapper, songwriter, composer, and producer. He is also known as the leader of the South Korean group BTS.

At thirteen years old, Namjoon, under the stage name Runch Randa, was a part of the Seoul underground hip-hop scene and had collaborated with popular artists like Zico and Ugly Duck. South Korean rapper and entertainer Sleepy then discovered his talent during an underground crew audition. Sleepy linked the middle school student to Big Hit Entertainment. “Hitman” Bang, the CEO of Big Hit Entertainment, formed BTS because of Namjoon.

Namjoon debuted with BTS in 2013 under the name Rap Monster. As of 2017 he now goes by RM because it fits him better as an adult. As the leader of the group, RM is responsible for connecting the group’s aspirations to its business, mediating discords among members, and shaping the musicality of the group along with other members and producers. RM also acts as a songwriter, composer and producer for many BTS songs.
