Lyrics and translation Verbal Jint feat. TAEYEON - 세상이 완벽했다면

세상이 완벽했다면

세상이 완벽한 곳이면
지금 나와 함께 있겠지 넌
그리고 힘이 없는 자들의 억울한 사연 다
생겨나지도 않았겠지 전부

I′ve been going through some pains
아무리 마시고 노래해 봐도
여기 맘 한구석엔
어두운 무언가 자리를 잡고 지워지질 않네

거리를 헤매이는 고양이들 같이
사람들을 피하고 싶고
듣기 버거워지네 힙합이
신문을 채운 소식도

날 우울하게 만들어
Is this the human nature? (human nature)
긍정의 힘을 부른 나지만
늘 궁금한 게 있어

원치 않는 희생의 이유를 묻고 분노하는 게 언제부터
욕먹을 일이 되었는지
Class와 class, 차이 따라 생명의 순서가 정해지는 거
경상 전라 여자 남자로 닿을 수 있는 곳 경계 짓는 거

얼마나 많은 diamond in the rough
찬란히 빛날 기회를 놓치고 있을까
누군가 내게 답해준다면 정말 좋겠다
왜 쌀 국숫집에선 고수를 안 줄까

세상이 완벽한 곳이면
지금 나와 함께 있겠지 넌
그리고 힘이 없는 자들의 억울한 사연 다
생겨나지도 않았겠지 전부

I could only pray
I could only pray (I could only pray)
I could only pray
I could only pray (pray) (I could only pray)
Pray for a better world

(Better world) 세상이 완벽했다면
체벌이란 건 어린아이들이 아닌
버르장머리 없는 성인들을
대상으로 논의되겠지

세상이 완벽했다면
Show me the money 없이도
꾸준히 자신의 길을 가는
Rapper들이 잘 팔리고 돈이 되겠지

이곳이 완벽했다면
파리 날리던 거리를 살린 용감한 상인들이
건물주에게 가질 수 있겠지 더 큰 목소리

이곳이 완벽했다면
내 아버지께서 경제적 문제로 인해
사시를 포기하진 않았을 걸 same old story

완벽하지 않은 나라서
이런 가사 써 you can call me 중2병
벌만큼 벌었어 얼씬도 못해도 괜찮아 순위권
내가 완벽했다면 그녀를 잡았겠지 진작
하지만 돌이킬 수 없는 단계로 들어섰네 이미 난

세상이 완벽한 곳이면 (oh)
지금 나와 함께 있겠지 넌
그리고 힘이 없는 자들의 억울한 사연 다 (yeah)
생겨나지도 않았겠지 전부

I could only pray (yeah)
I could only pray (I could only pray)
I could only pray
I could only pray (pray)
Pray for a better world

(Better world) oh
If the world was a perfect place (perfect place) (yeah)
얼굴 마주한 서로에게 (서로에게)
혐오에 찬 삿대질 대신 (ooh)
서로가 다름으로 인해
(Whoa) 아름다움을 인정하겠지

Oh, pray the world (yeah) was a perfect place (I'm prayin′) (place)
기도를 담아 노래해
(Oh, I pray, I pray, I pray) and I know
I'm not the only one

I could only pray (yeah)
I could only pray (I'm prayin′) (I could only pray)
I could only pray (put your fingers together)
I could only pray (pray)
Pray for a better world

(Better world) For better world
(I pray, I pray, I pray)
(I pray, I pray, I pray)

If the World Were Perfect

If the world were a perfect place
You'd be with me right now
And the unjust stories of the powerless would
Never have arisen at all

I′ve been going through some pains
No matter how much I drink and sing
In one corner of my heart
Something dark has taken hold and won't go away

Like cats wandering the streets
I want to avoid people
Hip-hop is becoming hard to hear
The news that fills the papers too

Makes me sad
Is this the human nature? (human nature)
I've sung of the power of positivity
But I've always wondered

Since when did asking the reason for unwanted sacrifices become
Something to be cursed at
Class and class, life's order is determined by differences
Borders that can be reached by Gyeongsang, Jeolla, women, and men

How many diamonds in the rough
Have we missed the chance to shine brightly?
I would really like someone to answer me
Why don't they give cilantro at rice noodle restaurants?

If the world were a perfect place
You'd be with me right now
And the unjust stories of the powerless would
Never have arisen at all

I could only pray
I could only pray (I could only pray)
I could only pray
I could only pray (pray) (I could only pray)
Pray for a better world

(Better world) If the world were perfect
Corporal punishment wouldn't be a discussion for children
But for adults who don't have a hair on their head
It would be considered

If the world were perfect
Without Show me the money
Rapper who steadily walk their own path
Would sell well and make money

If this place were perfect
The brave merchants who fly flies in the streets
Could have louder voices with the landlord

If this place were perfect
My father would not have given up poetry
Due to economic problems, the same old story

Because it's not a perfect country
I write these lyrics, you can call me a second-year middle schooler
I've earned as much as I've earned, even if I'm not even close to the ranking
If I were perfect, I would have caught her before
But I've already entered an irreversible stage

If the world were a perfect place (oh)
You'd be with me right now
And the unjust stories of the powerless (yeah)
Never have arisen at all

I could only pray (yeah)
I could only pray (I could only pray)
I could only pray
I could only pray (pray)
Pray for a better world

(Better world) oh
If the world were a perfect place (perfect place) (yeah)
Facing each other (to each other)
Instead of malicious gossip (ooh)
Because of each other's differences
(Whoa) We would recognize the beauty

Oh, pray the world (yeah) was a perfect place (I'm prayin′) (place)
I sing a song with a prayer
(Oh, I pray, I pray, I pray) and I know
I'm not the only one

I could only pray (yeah)
I could only pray (I'm prayin′) (I could only pray)
I could only pray (put your fingers together)
I could only pray (pray)
Pray for a better world

(Better world) For better world
(I pray, I pray, I pray)
(I pray, I pray, I pray)
