Tear me down

I was born on the other side

Of a town ripped in two

나는 다른 쪽에서 태어났지. 둘로 쪼개진 곳 말이야

I made it over the great divide

Now I'm coming for you

위대한 분단을 넘어 네게 온거야

Enemies and adversaries

They try and tear me down

적들은 날 없애려하지

You want me baby, I dare you

Try and tear me down

나 여기 있어 나도 가만있지는 않을 거야.

I rose from off of the doctor's slab

Like Lazarus* from the pit

내 어머니는 수술대야. 마치 예수가 라자러스(나사로)를 부활시킨 것처럼 말이아
Now everyone wants to take a stab

And decorate me

With blood, graffiti and spit

모두가 나를 못마땅해하고 피, 낙서, 침으로 날 조롱하려하지

Enemies and adversaries

They try to tear me down

You want me, baby, I dare you

Try and tear me down

On August 13, 1961,

1961년 8월 13일

A wall was erected

Down the middle of the city of Berlin

베를린에 벽이 세워지더니

The world was divided by a cold war

세상은 냉전에 의해 나눠졌지

And the Berlin Wall

Was the most hated symbol of that divide

베릴린 장변은 분단의 상징으로 여겨져

Reviled, graffitied, spit upon

욕 먹고, 칠해지고, 침을 맞았어

We thought the wall would stand forever

And now that it's gone

영원하리라는 예상과 달리 이제 그 벽은 사라졌어

We don't know who we are anymore

이제 우리는 우리가 누군지도 몰라

Ladies and gentlemen

신사 숙녀 여러분

Hedwig is like that wall

헤드윅은 그 벽 같아요

Standing before you in the divide

차별에 대항하며 네 앞에 서있죠.

Between East and West

동과 서

Slavery and freedom

노예와 자유

Man and woman

남과 여

Top and bottom

위와 아래

And you can try and tear her down

But before you do

You must remember one thing.

그런 나를 당신은 없애려하겠지만 그전에 당신은 이걸 알아야해

There ain't much of a difference

Between a bridge and a wall

다리와 벽은 크게 다르지 않다는 걸

Without me right in the middle, babe

You would be nothing at all

날 없애려는 논리는 네 목을 죄어 올 거야

Enemies and adversaries

They try and tear me down

You want me, baby, I dare you

Try and tear me down
