[Verse 1]
Friends all tried to warn me
벗들 모두가 나에게 조심하라고 애썼지만

But I held my head up high
나는 목을 높이 세우고 귀담아 듣지 않았네

All the time they warned me
언제나 그들은 나에게 注意를 주었지만

But I only passed them by
나는 그냥 그들을 지나쳤었네

They all tried to tell me
그들 모두가 나에게 조심하라는 말을 하려고 애썼지만

But I guess I didn't care
나는 介意치 않았다고 생각하네

I turned my back
나는 그들에게 등을 돌렸고

And left them standing there
그들을 거기에 서있게 내버려 두웠네

[Chorus]
All the [burning bridges]*2
That have fallen after me
내 뒤에서 무너진
모든 불타고 있는 다리들

All the lonely feelings
모든 외로운 느낌들과

And the burning memories
불타고 있는 記憶들

Everyone I left behind
내가 남겨놓고 떠나왔던 모든 사람들

Each time I closed the door
내가 門을 닫았을 때마다

Burning bridges lost forevermore
불타고 있는 다리들은 永遠히 없어졌네

[Verse 2]
Joey tried to help me find a job
‘조이’는 내가 職業을 찾는데 도와 주려 애썼었네

A while ago
오래 前에

When I finally got it
마침내 職業을 얻게 되었을 때

I didn't want to go
나는 出勤하고 싶지 않았었네

The party Mary gave for me
‘매리’가 나를 위해 파티를 열었었네

When I just walked away
내가 途中에 파티에서 떠나갔을 때

Now there's nothing left for me to say
지금 내가 할 수 있는 말은 아무 것도 남아 있지 않네

[Chorus]
All the [burning bridges]*2
That have fallen after me
내 뒤에서 무너진
모든 불타고 있는 다리들

All the lonely feelings
모든 외로운 느낌들과

And the burning memories
불타고 있는 記憶들

Everyone I left behind
내가 남겨놓고 떠나왔던 모든 사람들

Each time I closed the door
내가 門을 닫았을 때마다

Burning bridges lost forevermore
불타고 있는 다리들은 永遠히 없어졌네

[Verse 3]
Years have passed and I keep thinking
세월이 흘러 나는 곰곰히 생각하네

What a fool I've been
내가 바보였다는 것을

I look back into the past and
나는 過去를 돌이켜보고

Think of way back then
그 때를 생각하네

I know that I lost everything
나는 내가 모든 것을 잃었다는 것을 아네

I thought that I could win
나는 내가 勝利할 수 있었다고 생각했었네

I guess I should have listened to my friends
나는 내 벗들의 말을 들었어야 마땅했었다고 생각하네

[Chorus]
All the [burning bridges]*2
That have fallen after me
내 뒤에서 무너진
모든 불타고 있는 다리들

All the lonely feelings
모든 외로운 느낌들과

And the burning memories
불타고 있는 記憶들

Everyone I left behind
내가 남겨놓고 떠나왔던 모든 사람들

Each time I closed the door
내가 門을 닫았을 때마다

Burning bridges lost forevermore
불타고 있는 다리들은 永遠히 없어졌네

[Outro]
Burning bridges lost forevermore
불타고 있는 다리들은 永遠히 없어졌네
