Half Time Lyrics (Original) by Stray Kids
Half Time (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
First half—still just the first half. You see the end? How arrogant.
The start is half, so this is the real beginning. A long journey.
Whistle blows, while all stop, I hustle.
Show off the skill that strikes the weak spot.
Unlike those who miss the chance and stumble,
I don’t make false moves.
At the peak of art—fantastic.
My own rhythm, rhythm lead.
[Pre-Chorus]
They don’t know what’s coming next—
Tactical movin’.
Twist after twist, all connected.
Trippin’ and trippin’, trappin’ a huge success.
Even if I crash and fall, there’s no trouble on my way-ay.
Countless steps will create the result.
[Chorus]
I’m at the half time, play time.
Now I’m (Now I’m) just getting started.
At my prime time.
No, I’m (No, I’m) not gonna stop it now.
Let the cheers explode—get out my way.
We haven’t even crossed yet to the next chapter.
Rising up a syndrome—this is our play.
Twists on twists in the first half.
[Verse 2]
We’re not done yet—even if we run all night.
The match won’t end—it’s much vaster.
The play keeps growing—we go ¡vamos!
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro!
From the starting line, already taking it all.
Won’t fall down—I won’t fall down.
I’ma move on—even if it fails, I’ll double it back.
Thinking you caught up for a moment? Ha!
[Pre-Chorus]
(Repeat)
[Chorus]
(Repeat)
[Bridge]
Burn the sweat off my face.
I’m always ready at my pace.
So even if I fall, all the galaxies will know my name, yeah.
Breaking the frame of every move—curving.
Let my moves just go—I serve it.
Even full of anxiety, I won’t yield—just dribbling.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m at the half time (Half time), show time (Show time).
Now, I’m (Now, I’m) just getting started.
At my (At my) prime time.
I’m not gonna stop.
Even if I crash and fall, there’s no trouble on my way-ay.
Countless steps will create the result, oh.
[Chorus]
I’m at the half time, play time.
Now, I’m (Now, I’m) just getting started.
At my prime time, oh.
I’m at the half time (Half time), show time (Show time).
Now, I’m (Now, I’m) just getting started.
At my (At my) prime time.
Twists on twists in the first half.
