“They don’t know ’bout us” Lyrics English Translation

[Intro]
They don’t know about us
How your voice reaches me, they’ll never know

[Verse 1: V, Jung Kook]
I can show you love, I can show you
If you wanna know me, what can I do for you?
They keep asking what made us different
I just tell ’em I don’t even know
Everybody hears the story that they want to
“They blew up ’cause of this,” yeah, I guess so
We just big boys, a.k.a. country kids

Just riding the wave, so shut up, shut up

[Pre-Chorus: RM]
Hold up, chill and take a bubble bath, bae (Ayy)
Do the math and go, just say what you say (Just say)
Oh, it’s hard and we can’t explain (Ayy)
Every time we try, try to explain, we find

[Chorus: Jimin, Jung Kook]
They don’t know ’bout us, they don’t know ’bout us (Oh-oh)
They don’t know ’bout us, they don’t know ’bout us (Ooh)
They don’t know ’bout us, they don’t know ’bout us (Oh-oh)
They don’t know ’bout us, they don’t know ’bout us

[Post-Chorus: V, RM, Jung Kook]
Yeah, damn, ooh, damn right, ooh, damn right (They don’t know)
Yeah, damn, ooh, damn right, ooh, damn right (They don’t know)
Yeah, damn, ooh, damn right, ooh, damn right (They don’t know)
Yeah, damn, ooh, damn right, ooh, damn right (They don’t know)

[Verse 2: Jin, SUGA, j-hope, V]
I can show you love, I can show you
If you wanna know me, what can I do for you? (They don’t)
They keep asking what made us different
I just tell ’em I don’t even know

Always busy chasing only easy roads, for no reason (Ayy)
Nosy talkers spreading wide like the ocean, slick (Uh)
Wanna break it down so it’s easy, baby?
You don’t have to know, why you tryna figure it out? (Ayy)
“They’re special (yeah), among Asians,” ayy
“Hero-like figures (yeah), too hard to break,” uhh
Uh, we can’t relate (Late)
We’re just seven people, that’s it
Ah, you said we changed? (Changed)
We feel the same, s*it

[Chorus: Jimin, Jung Kook]
They don’t know ’bout us, they don’t know ’bout us (Oh-oh)
They don’t know ’bout us, they don’t know ’bout us (Ooh)
They don’t know ’bout us, they don’t know ’bout us (Oh-oh)
They don’t know ’bout us, they don’t know ’bout us

[Post-Chorus: Jung Kook, Jin, Jin]
Yeah, damn, ooh, damn right, ooh, damn right (They don’t know about us, they don’t know about us) (They don’t know)
Yeah, damn, ooh, damn right, ooh, damn right (They don’t know about us, they don’t know about us) (They don’t know)
Yeah, damn, ooh, damn right, ooh, damn right (They don’t know about us, they don’t know about us) (They don’t know)
Yeah, damn, ooh, damn right, ooh, damn right (They don’t know about us, they don’t know about us)

[Outro]
Us, how your voice reaches me, they’ll never see

Meaning of They don’t know ’bout us (English Translation) Lyrics

Intro Meaning:
BTS open with a quiet, personal feeling. They’re saying that what they share with someone special is deep and invisible to outsiders. People may watch from afar, but they can’t truly feel that emotional connection.

Verse 1: V, Jung Kook Meaning:
Here, they talk about being questioned constantly—how they became successful or what makes them different. Instead of giving a clear answer, they admit even they don’t fully understand it. It feels natural, not something planned. They also point out how people create their own versions of their story, even if those versions aren’t accurate. At the same time, they stay grounded, describing themselves as simple people just going along with life, not overthinking the fame or attention.

Pre-Chorus: RM Meaning:
This part shifts into a more relaxed tone, almost like telling others to calm down and stop overanalyzing everything. They admit that their journey and bond are hard to explain. Every time they try to put it into words, it doesn’t come out right, showing how some experiences are too complex or emotional to describe clearly.

Chorus: Jimin, Jung Kook Meaning:
The repeated idea here is frustration mixed with acceptance. They emphasize that outsiders simply don’t understand them, and maybe never will. It becomes almost a mantra, reinforcing that their story belongs only to them and those truly close to them.

Post-Chorus: V, RM, Jung Kook Meaning:
This section adds confidence and attitude. It feels like they’re owning their truth, agreeing with each other that people’s assumptions don’t matter. There’s a sense of pride in knowing who they are, even if others misunderstand them.

Verse 2: Jin, SUGA, j-hope, V Meaning:
They go deeper into how people talk about them—spreading opinions, labeling them as special or different, and trying to break down their success into simple reasons. The group pushes back against this, saying not everything needs to be explained. They also reject the idea of being put on a pedestal, reminding everyone that they’re just ordinary individuals. Even with fame, they feel unchanged inside, which highlights their desire to stay authentic despite outside pressure.

Chorus: Jimin, Jung Kook Meaning:
Again, the repetition strengthens the central idea. It’s like a reminder that no matter how much people speculate, the real story stays with them. It creates a sense of unity between the members and those who truly understand them.

Post-Chorus: Jung Kook, Jin, Jin Meaning:
This part continues the confident tone, almost like a chant of self-assurance. They’re no longer trying to explain themselves—they’re just affirming that outsiders’ opinions don’t define them.

Outro Meaning:
The ending returns to a softer, emotional note. It highlights that the connection they share—whether with each other or with someone meaningful—is something deeply personal. It’s not something that can be seen or fully understood from the outside, and that’s what makes it special.
