Permission to Dance Lyrics
It's the thought of being young
When your heart's just like a drum
Beating louder with no way to guard it
When it all seems like it's wrong
Just sing along to Elton John
And to that feeling, we're just getting started
When the nights get colder
And the rhythms got you falling behind
Just dream about that moment
When you look yourself right in the eye, eye, eye
Then you say
I wanna dance
The music's got me going
Ain't nothing that can stop how we move, yeah
Let's break our plans
And live just like we're golden
And roll in like we're dancing fools
We don't need to worry
'Cause when we fall, we know how to land
Don't need to talk the talk, just walk the walk tonight
'Cause we don't need permission to dance
There's always something that's standing in the way
But if you don't let it faze ya
You'll know just how to break
Just keep the right vibe, yeah
'Cause there's no looking back
There ain't no one to prove
We don't got this on lock (Yeah)
The wait is over
The time is now so let's do it right, mm (Yeah)
Yeah we'll keep going
And stay up until we see the sunrise (Yeah)
And we'll say
I wanna dance
The music's got me going
Ain't nothing that can stop how we move, yeah
Let's break our plans
And live just like we're golden
And roll in like we're dancing fools
We don't need to worry
'Cause when we fall, we know how to land
Don't need to talk the talk, just walk the walk tonight
'Cause we don't need permission to dance
Da-na-na-na-na-na-na
Da-na-na-na-na-na-na
Da-na-na-na-na-na-na
No, we don't need permission to dance
Da-na-na-na-na-na-na (Hey)
Da-na-na-na-na-na-na
Da-na-na-na-na-na-na
Well, let me show ya
That we can keep the fire alive, mm
'Cause it's not over
Till it's over, say it one more time
Say
I wanna dance
The music's got me going (Music's got me going)
Ain't nothing that can stop how we move, yeah (Hey, yeah)
Let's break our plans
And live just like we're golden (Ooh)
And roll in like we're dancing fools (Like we're dancing fools)
We don't need to worry
'Cause when we fall, we know how to land (We know how to land)
Don't need to talk the talk, just walk the walk tonight (Ooh)
'Cause we don't need permission to dance
Permission to Dance - English Translation
Es el pensamiento de ser joven
Cuando tu corazón es como un tambor
Golpeando más fuerte sin poder protegerlo
Cuando todo parece estar mal
Solo canta junto a Elton John
Y a esa sensación, apenas estamos comenzando
Cuando las noches se enfrían
Y los ritmos te hacen caer atrás
Solo sueña con ese instante
Cuando te miras fijamente a los ojos, ojo, ojo
Entonces dices
Quiero bailar
La música me está llevando
Nada puede detener cómo nos movemos, sí
Dejemos que rompamos nuestros planes
Y vivamos como si fuéramos de oro
Y lleguemos como payasos bailando
No tenemos por qué preocuparnos
Porque cuando caemos, sabemos cómo aterrizar
No necesitamos hablarlo, solo caminar esta noche
Porque no necesitamos permiso para bailar
Siempre hay algo que nos impide
Pero si no te deja afectar
Sabrás exactamente cómo romper
Solo mantén el buen ambiente, sí
Porque no hay vuelta atrás
No hay a quién probar
No tenemos esto asegurado (Sí)
La espera ha terminado
El momento es ahora así lo hacemos bien, mm (Sí)
Sí seguiremos adelante
Y nos quedaremos despiertos hasta ver salir el sol (Sí)
Y diremos
Quiero bailar
La música me está llevando
Nada puede detener cómo nos movemos, sí
Dejemos que rompamos nuestros planes
Y vivamos como si fuéramos de oro
Y lleguemos como payasos bailando
No tenemos por qué preocuparnos
Porque cuando caemos, sabemos cómo aterrizar
No necesitamos hablarlo, solo caminar esta noche
Porque no necesitamos permiso para bailar
Da-na-na-na-na-na-na
Da-na-na-na-na-na-na
Da-na-na-na-na-na-na
No, no necesitamos permiso para bailar
Da-na-na-na-na-na-na (¡Oye!)
Da-na-na-na-na-na-na
Da-na-na-na-na-na-na
Bueno, déjame mostrarte
Que podemos mantener el fuego encendido, mm
Porque no ha terminado
Hasta que haya terminado, di esto una vez más
Di
Quiero bailar
La música me está llevando (La música me lleva)
Nada puede detener cómo nos movemos, sí (¡Oye, sí!)
Dejemos que rompamos nuestros planes
Y vivamos como si fuéramos de oro (¡Ay!)
Y lleguemos como payasos bailando (Como payasos bailando)
No tenemos por qué preocuparnos
Porque cuando caemos, sabemos cómo aterrizar (Sabemos cómo aterrizar)
No necesitamos hablarlo, solo caminar esta noche (¡Ay!)
Porque no necesitamos permiso para bailar
Meaning of Permission to Dance
“Permission to Dance” by BTS is a vibrant anthem of liberation and joyful self-expression, layered with poignant reflections on youthful vulnerability and the desire to simply *be*. The core theme centers around shedding societal constraints and embracing uninhibited movement – literally dancing – as a powerful act of defiance against worry and expectation. The song’s narrative begins with a nostalgic yearning for the unfiltered energy of youth, depicted through the imagery of a “drum” heart beating without reservation, mirroring Elton John's music as a catalyst for this feeling of burgeoning potential. This immediately establishes a sense of urgency; it’s not about grand achievements but about seizing the moment and letting go. The repeated refrain, "I wanna dance," acts as a mantra, urging listeners to prioritize experiencing joy over conforming to external pressures.
Musically, the song employs several compelling metaphors. “Breaking our plans” represents discarding rigid routines and embracing spontaneity, while “rolling in like we’re dancing fools” embodies reckless abandon and unapologetic fun. The line "Don't need to talk the talk, just walk the walk tonight" is a crucial element – action speaks louder than words, particularly when it comes to pursuing genuine happiness. The acknowledgement of potential setbacks – “when we fall, we know how to land” – isn’t presented as a cause for despair but rather as an opportunity for resilience and adaptation. The use of the "vibe" as something essential to maintain further emphasizes the importance of internal harmony and positivity in navigating life's challenges.
Beyond its immediate message of carefree dancing, “Permission to Dance” carries a deeper resonance for BTS’s fanbase – ARMY – who have often faced criticism and judgment regarding their idol worship. The song can be interpreted as an implicit plea for acceptance and understanding, a request to simply allow them to express their passion without needing justification or permission. Ultimately, the track is a celebration of human connection, resilience, and the universal desire to move to the rhythm of life, delivered with infectious energy and a powerful declaration: “We don’t need permission to dance.”
