Demo songs are an early step in the music making process used to present the general idea of a song.
The lyrics may not always make sense as they are often just placeholders for the artists to reference flow or melodies before the actual recording.

흥탄소년단 새벽달이 질 때까지
Boyz with fun until the early morning moon sets
아 완전 신나 가식 따윈 집에 간 지
Ah this is so much fun, all the pretense went home ages ago
오래니까 니가 음치
So even if you have no sense of melody
혹은 박치라도
or rhythm
상관없어 눈치 따윈
Stop worrying about what other people think
빨리 줘 개나 줘
Forget all about that
흥이 난다 흥이 흥이 흥이 나
I’m excited excited excited excited
여기 여기 붙어라
Come over here, here
니 어깨춤이 보인다
I see your shoulders bouncing to the beat

Fun fun we’re going fast
다 봐라 봐라
All of you, watch watch
오늘은 미칠 거야 말리지 말아
I’m gonna go crazy today, don’t stop me
가라 가라 싫은 놈들
Go away, go away, people who hate me

You’re going to move with my body
지금 바로 이 순간
Right this moment
내게 묻지마

Translators’ Notes:
* The Korean title of the song plays on BTS’ Korean name, ‘Bangtan Sonyeondan’, by replacing ‘방/Bang’ with ‘흥/heung’, which is a mixture of ‘fun’ and ‘excitement’. The phrase ‘흥탄/heungtan’ can also be used as an adjective to describe someone who is excited.
2. Sunbae is a term used to refer to someone who is more senior/experienced than you in something.
Hoobae is a term used to refer to someone less experienced/more junior.
Ahjumma is a term used to refer to a married or middle-aged woman.
3. Hyung is a term used by a male to address an older brother or any male who is older than them whom they are close to.
Noona is a term used by a male to address an older sister or any female who is older than them whom they are close to.
4. Hoshikie is a cute nickname for Hoseok.
5. The actual word used here, ‘치키차카초’, describes the sound of brushing teeth and is also a possible reference to the OST from the 90's Korean cartoon show, ‘Fly Superboard’.
