Airplane Lyrics in English J-Hope (BTS)

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Airplane by J-Hope (BTS) from Korean to English.
Geuttae nareul dashi gieokhae
I remember myself back then
Memareun ttangi nal bultaeul ttae
When the rough ground burned me
Jeo pureun haneul bomyeo ttwieotne
I jumped, staring at that blue sky
Nalgo shipeosseo geu airplaneeseo
I wanted to fly on that airplane
Geuttae nareul dashi gieokhae

A Gwangju native in a flight trance
Nopgo nopatteon kkume jarieseo
In a seat of those lofty dreams

Somebody cusses me the f*ck out

Even their jealousy seems lonely
Hey yeah

Drink champagne in my airplane
Drink champagne in my airplane

SONG MEANING

Airplane takes us back to the days when a young J-Hope stared up at the wide Korean sky, wishing he could leap straight into the clouds. The dry ground of his hometown Gwangju once seemed to hold him down, yet the roar of passing planes set his imagination on fire. In the song he remembers that first thrill of boarding a flight to Japan, feeling his dream literally lift off as the wheels left the runway. The airplane becomes a moving stage where every new city lights up the reality that his long-held hopes have finally taken flight.

Now that he is a globe-trotting artist, J-Hope watches the world from above, sipping champagne and filling his passport with stamps. He blesses the journey that brought him here, shrugs off jealousy and criticism, and keeps cruising toward bigger skies. Airplane is both a victory lap and a note of gratitude, reminding learners that chasing a dream may start on dusty ground, but with persistence and joy it can soar into brilliant blue freedom.
