Jin - 슈퍼 참치 (Super Tuna) (English Translation) Lyrics

[Chorus]
Tuna!
Hah!
Tuna!
Super tuna!

[Verse]
My heart is beating, flap-flap
Where did my fish go?
East sea, west sea
Where is my fish?

[Pre-Chorus]
It would be great if it's tuna
It would be great if it’s flatfish
It would be great if it's mackerel too
It would be great if it's a shark too
Please bite on my fishing rod
At that moment the tuna asked me
Hyung, hyung, please take me

[Chorus]
Tuna!
Hah!
Tuna!
Let’s go!
[Outro]
Woah, woah
Flap-flap
Woah, woah
Super tuna

What did Genius English Translations say about "Jin - 슈퍼 참치 (Super Tuna) (English Translation)"?
Genius Answer

Our generation doesn’t have any good songs about fishing to listen to on their way on the highway. And there’s a lot of serious talk going on lately, so I thought it would be nice to make a song that’s kind of light and upbeat. I did actually want to make a fishing song, but it was really an excuse to go fishing with BUMZU. We went after I suggested to the label that the two of us fishing would make for good content.
I wanted ARMY [BTS fans] to listen to the song and have fun laughing as they watched me, and in the end, I’m just happy they like it. I had fun just watching them enjoy the song and knowing they like it. That was enough for me.
There’s a lot of things I’m supposed to worry about when I’m working, like how well the work will be received, so even if I was doing something I’m supposed to enjoy, it became work. But “Super Tuna” taught me that, if I try to make that kind of work fun and exciting, I can feel differently about it.

What has BUMZU said about the song?
Genius Answer

It was the first time in my life I worked on a song while fishing on a boat out at sea.
I already had my mind set on ‘Super Tuna’ for the title but I didn’t find out till later that there was no tuna where we went. I was filled with worry while we were fishing, but then we caught a bunch of different fish, including big cod, and ended up feeling any kind of fish would do. I jokingly said, ‘Seokjin, you’re a universal superstar—you’d be able to catch a tuna anyway,’ and he laughed and cast his line, and then he caught one for real. Everyone there, including the professional fisher, was shocked, and after that, I said, ‘I mean, we caught a tuna—what if we see a shark next?’ And then, voilà, a baby shark came and swam around the boat a bit. It gave me goosebumps. I think I saw a halo of light around Seokjin. Haha.
I never had a recording experience like that before. I was laughing so much, watching Seokjin directing the staff to sing with more energy in the chorus. He directed them really passionately, then at the end said, ‘Okay, everyone! If we nail this take, we can all go home!’ And all the staff members belted it out, and in key, too.
