HBD (English Translation) Lyrics

[Refrain]
I’m living every day without tomorrow
Today, I’ll live the way I want to live
Light a candle and make a wish, and it’ll all come true
Happy birthday to you

[Verse 1]
There’s nothing in this world that goes the way you want
Things that bother me are like gum
Cheer up, it doesn’t comfort me, get out
Stop talking nonsense, do do
I’m sick of pointing my finger
If I had my way, I’d hit you
But even if I were born again
I want to live as I am now
Hey, hey

[Refrain]
I’m living every day without tomorrow
Today, I’ll live the way I want to live
Light a candle and make a wish, and it’ll all come true

[Chorus]
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you, you, you, you
Happy birthday to you

[Verse 2]
So what if I get cursed at for being a kind fool
In a world where everything is forced from one to ten
My heated Don’t underestimate my heart
Run, run, run until the end
Do whatever I want, yeah, yeah
Today, do whatever I want, yeah, yeah, yeah
Light a candle and make a wish and it’ll come true

[Chorus]
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you, you, you, you
Happy birthday to you

[Bridge]
Today is my own celebration night
It won’t stop
It’s like happy birthday, yeah

[Post-Bridge]
I’ll keep lighting it like this
I don’t care dizzy
I’ll go crazy tonight
Let’s go

[Outro]
Boom, brr, rock it, I’m crazy tonight like this
Boom, brr, rock it, hey, hey, hey
Boom, brr, rock it, I’m crazy tonight like this
Boom, brr, rock it, happy birthday to you

HBD Lyrics in Korean

[Refrain]
In this opening section, SEVENTEEN immediately sets the tone for the song with a reflection on living each day as if there’s no tomorrow. The repeated lighting of candles and making wishes symbolizes a ritual of hope and resilience. It emphasizes the desire to seize the present and shape one’s own destiny, rejecting hesitation or fear.

[Verse 1]
WOOZI and the group acknowledge the harshness of reality, where things rarely go as planned. The verse is raw, expressing frustration with hollow encouragement and unsolicited judgment. The imagery of wanting to fight back but still choosing self-acceptance shows maturity and defiance. Despite external pressures, they assert the worth of living life authentically—even if given a second chance, they’d choose to be exactly who they are.

[Refrain]
Repeating this section reinforces the message of embracing the present and having faith in one’s wishes. It serves as an anchor, reminding listeners of the song’s uplifting intent amid darker emotional undercurrents.

[Chorus]
The chorus is a celebratory release, centering on the simple but powerful phrase, “Happy birthday to you.” This refrain, traditionally sung to others, becomes a personal mantra, reclaiming joy and recognition for oneself. Its repetition builds an anthem-like quality, making it universal and communal.

[Verse 2]
This verse continues the theme of resisting conformity. SEVENTEEN confronts criticism head-on, embracing their sensitivity and emotional depth. They challenge the world’s expectations and vow to keep moving forward with intensity and determination. The line “오늘은 내 맘대로” (“Today is my way”) boldly declares a desire for autonomy and freedom, aligning with the overall celebratory defiance of the track.

[Chorus]
The return of the chorus reiterates the message of self-celebration and empowerment. The repeated “you, you, you, you” underscores individual recognition, echoing the idea that everyone deserves to be acknowledged.

[Bridge]
In the bridge, SEVENTEEN introduces a more intimate tone, referring to the day as a personal “celebration night.” This section shifts the spotlight entirely inward, portraying the birthday not just as a date but as a metaphor for reclaiming one’s narrative. It’s a moment of solitude, pride, and unstoppable joy.

[Post-Bridge]
This high-energy post-bridge is a turning point, signaling emotional and physical liberation. With rebellious energy, SEVENTEEN vows to “set fire” metaphorically, letting go of inhibitions. The chaos is welcomed, and the desire to lose oneself in celebration reinforces the theme of freedom and unfiltered expression.

[Outro]
The outro bursts with explosive sound imagery—“Boom, brr, rock it”—creating an ecstatic, party-like climax. It echoes the wild spirit introduced earlier and leaves listeners with an exhilarating, unrestrained farewell. The final “Happy birthday to you” becomes a triumphant conclusion to this emotionally layered, joyful declaration of self.
