[Verse 1]
My hometown? Gang~nam!
Under neon lights, I chased my dream
One bowl of jjajang, one plate of tangsuyuk
Oh, I was on top… back in the day
But rent fell behind, friends moved on
Even the sign of my Chinese diner was gone
With nothing but a bag in hand
I walked the country road back home
[Verse 2]
By the chimney boiling cow feed
I sparked my fire again!
The sun went down, the stars came out
And my life began to rise again
[Chorus]
Let’s go back — Gang! Nam!
Sell a cow — jjajang jjajang!
Let’s go back — Gang! Nam!
Sell some paste — tangsuyuk tangsu!
Round and round — life spins and stumbles
But it ain’t the end, no way!
The country market’s my new stage
Gangnam, just wait — I’m on my way!
[Bridge]
The taepyeongso howls, the drums go wild
My heartbeat rides that rhythm loud
Who am I, you ask?
The man who ruled Gangnam…
with jjajang in his hands!
My hometown? Gang~nam!
Under neon lights, I chased my dream
One bowl of jjajang, one plate of tangsuyuk
Oh, I was on top… back in the day
But rent fell behind, friends moved on
Even the sign of my Chinese diner was gone
With nothing but a bag in hand
I walked the country road back home
[Verse 2]
By the chimney boiling cow feed
I sparked my fire again!
The sun went down, the stars came out
And my life began to rise again
[Chorus]
Let’s go back — Gang! Nam!
Sell a cow — jjajang jjajang!
Let’s go back — Gang! Nam!
Sell some paste — tangsuyuk tangsu!
Round and round — life spins and stumbles
But it ain’t the end, no way!
The country market’s my new stage
Gangnam, just wait — I’m on my way!
[Bridge]
The taepyeongso howls, the drums go wild
My heartbeat rides that rhythm loud
Who am I, you ask?
The man who ruled Gangnam…
with jjajang in his hands!
