Translation of 미운오리새끼 Ugly duckling from Korean to English
(My mom says she hates me)
She hoped I would become at least half like others
But I couldn't change easily, because of my stubbornness, I can only trust myself
I locked myself in the studio
Someday, I will definitely shine, I deceive myself
Even though the reality back then was miserable
I tried harder because I had to show them
I had to change myself from a wrong person to a different person
One by one, people similar to me are increasing around me
I'm no longer different, though I sometimes miss home
No more worries, I promise, I can never be like others
Even if I were born again, I would be like this
You know what kind of person I am, what can I do?
It's okay to hate me, I'll change everything
I'm not young anymore, locking the door
The me who wanted to be loved is here
Comforting the same ugly ducklings
It can't be done, it can't be done
Pretending to be the same while being different, holding my breath for a long time
I spread my crumpled wings wide
I fly here and embrace the sky I used to look up at
(I am) not alone, shout out loud
Don't hesitate with the gestures I've finally found
First (no)
Never believe the words that say it's impossible (never)
Second, if someone only gives advice without adding anything
Just shout "Suck that" (Suck that)
The unchanged corner
Makes you unchanged, don't fall back
To those who overcome, blessings and respect
To those shedding tears of blood, a toast
Now I'm in heaven, but I've been through hell
Now I'm in peace, but I've been through riot
Unfortunately, you know this isn't the end
But if God got us (we all be alright)
Uh
Third, when you relax, put it down for a moment
Yeah
Being born like this, they say I'm showing off
What do they want us to do?
You asked, and in my answer
What do they want if they frown?
It's okay to hear a hundred times that it's impossible
What do they want?
If you still see me digging
Now, just, now, just tell me to get lost
It can't be done, it can't be done
Pretending to be the same while being different, holding my breath for a long time
I spread my crumpled wings wide
I fly here and embrace the sky I used to look up at
(I am) not alone, shout out loud
Don't hesitate with the gestures I've finally found
Among similar people, I drift and wander
For no reason, I shouted loudly that I'm here too
"What's with him?" they react, clicking their tongues
I tried to stand out more in that
People similar to me are increasing around me
I changed, from the wrong me to the special me
(Ah-ah) It can't be done, it can't be done
Pretending to be the same while being different, holding my breath for a long time (holding my breath)
I spread my crumpled wings wide
I fly here and embrace the sky I used to look up at
(I am) not alone, shout out loud
Don't hesitate with the gestures I've finally found
