Hold Me Tight Lyrics in English BTS

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Hold Me Tight by BTS from Korean to English.
Suljaneul biuni geuriumi chaneunguna
I empty my glass, longing fills up
Geunyang da jigo bol geol wae nan ttajigo bwasseulkka
I should've erased it all, so why'd I dig it up and look
Gilgae beoryeojin sseuregibongtukkajido
Even the trash bags strewn on the street
Barame sseulsseulhan sorireul nae
Let out a lonely sound in the wind
Naui baekjie neol jom deoschilhaesseul ppuninde
I only painted you a bit on my blank page
Jeongsin charyeoboni imi han pogui geurimi dwae
When I came to, it had already become a whole painting
Neowa nan haendeupon
You and me on the phone
Tteoreojimyeon gojang nal geol neodo aljanha
You know it'll break if it falls
Neoui chechwimani nal onjeonhage hae
Only your scent keeps me whole
Eoseo nal ana
Hurry, hold me
Ojik neo hanaman boyeo
I see nobody but you
Na ojik neo bakken anboyeo
To me there's nobody but you
Bwa gongjeonghaji gongpyeonghaji neohante ppaegon da
See, it's fair, it's equal—everything but you
Ijen dan harudo neo eopsineun
Now I can't last a single day without you
Kkwak jabajwo nal anajwo
Hold me tight, hug me
Can you trust me, can you trust me, can you trust me
Can you trust me, can you trust me, can you trust me
Kkwak kkeureoanajwo
Pull me close and hold me tight
Kkwak jabajwo nal anajwo
Hold me tight, hug me
Can you trust me, can you trust me
Can you trust me, can you trust me
Jebal jebal jebal kkeureoanajwo
Please, please, please pull me close
Yeojeonhi neoegeseon biccina
You still shine
Yeojeonhi hyanggi naneun kkot gata
You still smell like a flower
Ije nareul mideojwo dasi nareul jabajwo
Now believe in me, grab me again
Neoreul neukkil su issge nareul kkeureoanajwo
Pull me close so I can feel you
Neo eopsin sumeul swil su eopseo nan
I can't breathe without you
Neo eopsin amugeosdo anya nan
I'm nothing without you
Dathin mameul yeoreojwo nae simjangeul jeoksyeojwo
Open your closed heart, drench my heart
Neoreul neukkil su issge nareul kkeureoanajwo
Pull me close so I can feel you
Neoui pum, neoui ongi, neoui maeum
Your embrace, your warmth, your heart
Dasi bogo sipdago bireo
I beg you, I wanna see you again
Jigeum i sungan ttaseuhan kkot hyanggi baramdo
Even this warm flower-scented breeze right now
Gureum han jeom eopsi malkeun jeogi haneuldo
That spotless, clear sky
Da modeun ge chagapgo jeo malkeun haneuldo da eoduwo
Everything's cold, and that clear sky is dark
Neo ppaemyeon sichein naega museun sumeul swieo
Without you I'm a corpse; how could I breathe
Apa na hangsang
I'm always hurting
Na michigo, neo eopsi jichigo
I go mad and wear out without you
Ni saenggak susiro
Just with the thought of you
Da mi miwo, maeiri si silheo
I hate it all, I hate every day
Nal ullyeo, ringdingdong
It makes me cry, ring ding dong
Gihoega issdamyeon neol
If there's a chance, to you
Na dallyeo, sijakhae
I'll run, let's start
Jangmi gateun ni pume jjillil gagoro dasi neol ana
I'll hold you again, willing to get pricked by your rose-like embrace
Ojik neo hanaman boyeo
I see nobody but you
Na ojik neo bakken anboyeo
To me there's nobody but you
Bwa gongjeonghaji gongpyeonghaji neohante ppaegon da
See, it's fair, it's equal—everything but you
Ijen dan harudo neo eopsineun Please
Now not even a single day without you, please
Kkwak jabajwo nal anajwo
Hold me tight, hug me
Can you trust me, can you trust me, can you trust me
Can you trust me, can you trust me, can you trust me
Kkwak kkeureoanajwo
Pull me close and hold me tight
Kkwak jabajwo nal anajwo
Hold me tight, hug me
Can you trust me, can you trust me
Can you trust me, can you trust me
Jebal jebal jebal kkeureoanajwo
Please, please, please pull me close
Chagawojin ni pyojeongi mal daesin modeun geol daebyeonhae
Your cold face speaks for everything instead of words
Ibyeori milmulcheoreom naege tteomillyeooneun geol daemyeonhae
I face how the breakup surges at me like a tide
Got majimagiran geol aljiman neol nohajul suneun eopsneungeol
I know this is the end, but I can't let you go
Malhaji ma tteonaji ma joyonghi nareul anajwo
Don't talk, don't go, just quietly hold me
Nal jabajwo nal anajwo
Grab me, hug me
Trust me, trust me, trust me
Trust me, trust me, trust me
Kkwak jabajwo nal anajwo
Hold me tight, hug me
Can you trust me, can you trust me
Can you trust me, can you trust me
Jebal jebal jebal kkeureoanajwo
Please, please, please pull me close
Yeojeonhi neoegeseon biccina
You still shine
Yeojeonhi hyanggi naneun kkot gata
You still smell like a flower
Ije nareul mideojwo dasi nareul jabajwo
Now believe in me, grab me again
Neoreul neukkil su issge nareul kkeureoanajwo
Pull me close so I can feel you

SONG MEANING

Hold Me Tight plunges us into the raw moment right after love starts slipping through our fingers. Over a lush, moody beat, BTS narrate the panic that hits when you realise the person you adore might actually walk away. Every line drips with urgency: the phone feels like a lifeline, familiar streets turn cold, and even the sky darkens without that special someone. The repeated plea — “Can you trust me? Hold me tight” — isn’t just asking for a hug; it is a desperate attempt to stitch the relationship back together before the final tear.

Listen closely and you will feel the push-and-pull of heartbreak: memories that still shine, self-doubt that bites, and a vulnerable promise to do better if only they will stay. It is equal parts love letter and last-ditch SOS, making “Hold Me Tight” a beautifully dramatic snapshot of what it means to fear losing the warmth that once felt like home.
