Whalien 52 – Track 4 on HYYH Pt. 2
korean lyrics from Naver Music .
Written by : Pdogg, Brother Su, Bang PD, RM, Suga, J-Hope, Slow Rabbit
52 Hz Whale appears to be the alone person emitting a whale call at this frequency. It has been described as the “ populace ’ south loneliest whale

Aaaand…randomly translating some older poetic songs. ^^ Before the fresh ones come out…
Writing this sung out makes me in truth feel what a sad birdcall this is, with a hint of hope for a better future. ( Makes me reminisce 2015 )

The most lonely creature in the world
I’m a whale
Do you wanna know my story?
Yeah~
I’ve never told this to anybody
Yeah, c’mon
In the middle of this wide ocean
A whale talks in lonely low-pitched tone.
The mouth closes from deep loneliness
knowing that no amount of shouting will reach another.
Whatever, it’s fine.  No matter what happens now, I don’t care.
When only the punk called loneliness will stay by my side
This padlock that gets locked, utterly alone in loneliness
“ To lock padlock on your lips ” means to close your mouth and not talk, no matter the incitement. The fact he talks about the padlock, right after saying he closes his mouthpiece, credibly means the aloneness makes him unable to talk back to what people say to him.
Someone says, “Hey bastard, you’re almost like a celebrity now”
The “ 새끼/hey asshole ” separate is kind of informal term that young men would often call close friends. “ You ’ rhenium about like a fame immediately ” is a shade, suggesting that fame has changed him. This sounds like it ’ s credibly a quotation of something his friends probably said to him.
Oh fuck that, Yeah, so what?  
Even if someone is not able to stay by me, that’s fine.
The inaugural “ person ” sounds lifelike, but the second “ person ” sounds mildly affected in that idiom ( as it probably is even in the English translation ). That he specifically repeated this word makes it sound like he is talking about “ the person ” / a specific person, that has credibly left him once he became a fame.
The things that are carelessly said to me become a wall
Even my loneliness becomes a pretentious act in your eyes
OR : “Even my loneliness becomes a reason for grudge in your eyes”
척/chuk – guise, grudge .
Locked in those walls
Even if I can’t breathe
Towards that surface,
Hey oh, oh hey oh yeah
Lonely lonely lonely whale
Singing alone like this
Although I’m like a deserted island
will I be able to shine brightly?
Lonely lonely lonely whale
Trying to sing again like this
Until this song with no reply
reaches the tomorrow
No more, no more baby
No more, no more
This endless signal wave
will someday reach 
Even the other side of the earth

No more, no more baby
No more, no more
Even the blind whales
will be able to see me
I sing again today
The world can never know
How sad I feel 
My hurt is like oil and water that can’t be mixed
using the 섞이다 ( to mix ), that sounds alike to 삭이다 ( to soothe )
Almost sounds like “my hurt is like oil and water, that can’t be soothed”
For me, the attention ends when I’m breathing at the surface
I want to show as well,
the small lonely kid in the depths of ocean
My worth. Everyday
I feel motion sickness from my worries
The sticker is always below my ear
He feels nauseated with worry, expressed as motion nausea.
The dagger below ear is address to Kimite – a scopolamine while you can wear below your ear for gesture illness. Kimite was interesting name for this drug, becauase it sounds very similar to “ Kwimitae ” which means “ below ear. ”

Never end,
Why is there never an end, every time hell
As time passes
The Neverland in the cold abyss
But I always think
Even if I sleep like a shrimp now, to dream like a whale
The praise that will come one day
Will make me dance every day
Being myself, Ye I’m swimmin’
“ to sleep like a runt ” means to “ sleep in fetal placement. ”
There is besides a identical common saying “ in the fights between whales, the shrimps are crushed ” – entail that the fallible ( shrimps ) are barren bystanders that are harmed in fights between those who are powerful ( whales ).
“Even if I sleep like a shrimp now, to dream like a whale” gives feel of how he ’ second curled up in a fetal position, feeling powerless and small, unable to control his fortune where he can be easily and carelessly be harmed by those who are more powerful .
I go towards my future
With that blue ocean
I believe in my hertz
Hey oh, oh hey oh yeah

Lonely lonely lonely whale
Singing alone like this
Although I’m like a deserted island
will I be able to shine brightly?

Lonely lonely lonely whale
Trying to sing again like this
Until this song with no reply
reaches the tomorrow

Mom said that the ocean is blue
She said to strongly express my voice
But what should I do?
This place is too dark
And full of other whales that speak differently
I juss can’t hold it ma
I want to say I love you
This song on repeat that I’m singing by myself
I run over this same music sheet again
This sea is too deep
But I’m still grateful
(that even if I cry, nobody will notice)
I’m a whalien

Lonely lonely lonely whale
Singing alone like this
Although I’m like a deserted island
will I be able to shine brightly? 
Lonely lonely lonely whale
Trying to sing again like this
Until this song with no reply
reaches the tomorrow
No more, no more baby
No more, no more
This endless signal wave
will someday reach 
Even the other side of the earth
No more, no more baby
No more, no more
Even the blind whales
will be able to see me
I sing again today
