I loved Huh Gak in Superstar K. The bro-love between John Park and Huh Gak was really something to behold.

As for this song, I loved it when Tasha sang it and I love Huh Gak’s version. Unfortunately, John Park’s vocals fail to add anything of value but Huh Gak’s vocals remind us why he was the winner of Superstar K.

The lyrics are also amazing. Sing it to the one you love!

Lyrics

Yeah girl listen
You’re the only one for me baby
And let me tell you why

몇번인가 이별을 경험하고서 널 만났지
그래서 더 시작이 두려웠는지 몰라
하지만 누군갈 알게 되고 사랑하게 되는 건
네가 마지막이라면 얼마나 좋을까
나처럼..
바쁜 하루 중에도 잠시 네 목소릴 들으면
함께 있는 것처럼 너도 느껴지는지
매일밤 집으로 돌아갈 때 그 곳에 네가 있다면
힘든 하루 지친 네 마음이 내 품에 안겨쉴텐데

지금처럼만 날 사랑해줘
난 너만 변하지 않는다면
내 모든걸 가질 사람은 너뿐이야
난 흔들리지 않아
넌 가끔은 자신이 없는 미래를 미안해 하지만
잊지 말아줘 사랑해
너와 함께라면 이젠 행복한 나를

I can always be happy with me
I can always be happy with me

바쁜 하루 중에도 잠시 네 목소릴 들으면
함께 있는 것처럼 너도 느껴지는지
매일밤 집으로 돌아갈 때 그 곳에 네가 있다면
힘든 하루 지친 네 마음이 내 품에 안겨쉴텐데

지금처럼만 날 사랑해줘
난 너만 변하지 않는다면
내 모든걸 가질 사람은 너뿐이야
난 흔들리지 않아
넌 가끔은 자신이 없는 미래를 미안해 하지만
잊지 말아줘 사랑해
너와 함께라면 이젠 행복한 나를

난 많은 기대들로 세상이 정해 놓은 사랑을 버리고
네 마음처럼 난 늘 같은 자리에
또 하나의 네가 되고 싶어
소중한 널 위해

지금처럼만 사랑해줘 항상
너만 변하지 않으면
내 전불 가질 사람은 너뿐이야
난 흔들리지 않아
자신 없는 미래 넌 미안해 하고 있니
넌 이제 혼자가 아니야.. 이젠 잊지마
너와 함께라면 언제나 행복한 나를

Translation

I can do anying and everything
If my life is with you

Yeah girl listen
You’re the only one for me baby
And let me tell you why

I met you after a few heartbreaks
So maybe that was why our start was so unsure
But getting to know and to love someone
How nice would it be if you were my last?
Like I do…
If you hear my voice, even for a moment in a busy day
Do you also feel like we are together?
Every night, when I return home and if you are there
My stress and pain from the day will melt away in your arms

Love me just like this
If you would never change
You’re the only one that has all of me
I will never waver
You may be unsure in the face of the unknowable future
But never forget that I love you
If it is with you, I will be forever happy

I can always be happy with me
I can always be happy with me

If you hear my voice, even for a moment in a busy day
Do you also feel like we are together?
Every night, when I return home and if you are there
My stress and pain from the day will melt away in your arms

Love me just like this
If you would never change
You’re the only one that has all of me
I will never waver
You may be unsure in the face of the unknowable future
But never forget that I love you
If it is with you, I will be forever happy

I’m throwing away what the world tells me I should love
My heart is in the same place as yours
I want to be another part of you
For you who are my precious

Love me just like this forever,
As long as you don’t change
You’re the only one that has all of me
I will never waver
Are you feeling unsure in the unknowable future?
You’re no longer alone..never forget
That when I’m with you I am happy

I can do anything and everything
If my life is with you

Lyrics

이럴 때를 보면 나
어리기는 한가봐
눈 앞에 두고도
어찌 할 줄 몰라
어떻게들 사랑을
시작하고 있는지
사랑하는 사람들
말해줘요

언젠가 그녀 손을
잡아 볼 날 올까요
감은 두 눈 위에
Kiss하는 날도 와줄까요

Hello Hello
나름대로 용길 냈어요
Hello Hello
잠시얘기 할래요
Hello Hello
내가 좀 서툴진 몰라도
Who knows
어쩜 우린 잘 될지도 몰라

내가 다가서야 하는지
좀 더 기다려야 하는지
모두 다른 말을 하는 게
더 어려워
(믿을 수 없겠죠)
보기보다 눈이 높아요
이런 일 난 흔치 않아요
내 말 믿어줘요 yeah

아무렇지 않게
그녈 안을 날 올까요
생각한 대로
모두 이뤄진단 말 믿어요

Hello Hello
나름대로 용길 냈어요
Hello Hello
잠시얘기 할래요
Hello Hello
내가 좀 서툴진 몰라도
Who knows 어쩜 우린
oh yeah

하지만 어려워요
이 말을 믿어줘요
그대는 달라요

Hello Hello
Ooh yeah~ Baby Baby Baby girl

그 시간들을 계속
그 어떤 기쁨과도
비교 못해)
Hello Hello 내게 기회를 줘요
(No More 그댈 이젠
표현 할 수 없고
내 손을 잡는다면
Never let you go)
Hello Hello

Translation

At times like this I can’t help
but think that I really am young
Even with her in front of me
I still can’t do a thing.
How does someone
start a new love?
People who are in love
Please tell me.

When will I be able to
hold her hand?
Will a day where I kiss
her closed eyes ever happen?

Hello Hello
I’ve gathered up my courage
Hello Hello
Can you talk a little while?
Hello Hello
I may stumble in my words
Who knows
Maybe we’ll end up together.

Do I approach her first?
Should I give it more time?
Everyone says something different
It’s so difficult
(You may not believe me)
But I’m really quite picky
I don’t do things like this
Please believe me yeah

When will I be able to hold her
like it’s normal?
I believe that everything
will end up just like I believe

Hello Hello
I’ve gathered up my courage
Hello Hello
Can you talk a little while?
Hello Hello
I may stumble in my words
Who knows, maybe we will
oh yeah

Honestly speaking
This is not my first time
I’ve loved and lost
But it’s difficult
So please believe me when I say
You are special

Hello Hello,
This time I’ll risk it all
Hello Hello,
Ooh yeah~ Baby Baby Baby girl
Hello Hello
Though we don’t know where we are now
Who knows, maybe we

Hello Hello, Oh Yeah
(Hello, the time I’ve spent
circling in your life
It can’t compare
with any other happiness)
Hello Hello, give me a chance
(I can’t express it any more
If you hold my hand I’ll
Never let you go)
Hello Hello
We don’t know where we are now
(If this is love I’ll never let it go)

Who knows, the two of us
May be fate
Hello Hello

Also, if you have a song request to be edited into a new, future intro, please comment with the song… it might end up in a future intro

If you didn’t know, I have (for the moment) three accounts on youtube. One for these translations, one for whatever (chinese, japanese, korean), and one for full albums (which I hardly upload to due to the fact that there are hardly any full album translations).

Well have a good day

Arrow, though is not as powerful as “The Name I Loved”, has the distinct advantage from it’s musical predecessor of using every single member. I love that Minho gets to sing here. I love even more how competent they all sound. Also, I really love the layering of the lyrics. It’s hard to translate over into English, but in the chorus of the original Korean, each time they pause, the last word they sung continues over into the next line. So for example in the first two sentences of the first chorus, “오 그대 맘에 닿고 싶은 날” the word “그대(GeuhDae)” is used in the first sentence “오 그대” and also in the next sentence “그대 맘에 닿고 싶은 날” and it goes on throughout the chorus. Kudos to the lyricist.

Lyrics

가슴 가득한 그대 흔적
나를 숨쉬게 해요
달빛에 긴 밤이 모두 물들면
헤어날 수 없는 기다림 다 끝이 날까요
기적을 빌어 묻고 답해요

오 그대
맘에 닿고 싶은 날
말하지 못해
시린 구름 뒤에 가린 별빛들처럼
사랑해
입술 끝에 맴돌던 아픈 고백
모두 끝내
눈물에 흘러

심장에 닿은 이 화살은
이젠 내 몸 같겠죠
죽을 만큼 너무 아파도
내 맘에 박힌 그대를 꺼낼 수 없네요
사랑이라서
난 사랑이라서

나 그댈
갖지 못해도
내 맘이 끝내
슬픈 인연의 벽 앞에 가로막혀도
사랑해
바라볼 수만 있는 곳이라면
그댄 내 전부니까

수 많은 밤 지새우다
내 눈물 같은 별빛이
멎지 않는 비가 되면
기억해요
내가 사랑했단 걸

나 그댈
갖지 못해도
내 맘이 끝내
슬픈 인연의 벽 앞에 가로막혀도
그대를 사랑해
바라볼 수만 있는 곳이라면
그댄 내 전부니까
그댈 (I need you)
갖지 못해도
내 맘이 끝내
슬픈 인연의 벽 앞에 가로막혀도
그대를 사랑해
바라볼 수만 있는 곳이라면
그댄 내 전부니까

힘겹지 않아요
Oh no
내 그대라
그대니까
아파도
울려도
사랑해

The traces of you that fill my heart
Give me breath.
When the night becomes engulfed by moonlight
Will this impossible waiting end?
Begging for a miracle, I respond

Oh love
I want to touch your heart
But I cannot speak
Like starlight hidden behind frozen clouds
‘I love you’
This painful confession always lie on my tongue
I’ll end it all
And let the words flow with my tears

The arrows that reached my heart
I guess are now a part of me
Even if it hurts so much I want to die
You’re so deep inside me, I can’t remove you
Because it’s love
Because for me it is love

My love
Even if I can’t be with you
Even if my feelings end,
barred by a wall of destiny
I still love you,
If I can just be somewhere where I can see you
Because you’re my everything

I’ve spent so many nights awake
So when my star like tears
start to fall like the half-hearted rain
Please remember
That I loved you

My love
Even if I can’t be with you
Even if my feelings end,
barred by a wall of destiny
I love you,
If I can just be somewhere where I can see you
Because you’re my everything
My love (I need you)
Even if I can’t be with you
Even if my feelings end,
barred by a wall of destiny
I love you,
If I can just be somewhere where I can see you
Because you’re my everything

It’s not a burden
Oh no
Because you are
Because you are you
Through the pain
Through the tears
I love you

너무 건조한 관계
그대 억눌린 감정
이제 그만 나의 한계
너무나도 닫힌
말하지 못하고 그녀 앞에 그친
모든 남자들은 다 성가신
미소 하나만으로도 눈이 부신
여전히 이렇게도 가만히 계신
이런 그녈, say

어떡하나 (Hey baby 어떡해 baby)
아무리 그래도
(Hey baby 좋은걸 baby girl)

Oh no, oh no 너무 예뻐

Up down and back up again

근데 어떡해

내 주위에서 이렇게 가득히 맴도는데
오늘 한번 딱 한번 웃어주면
그냥 넘어가는걸)

I’m walking on eggshells

Will you laugh (Hey baby, today baby)

What an exhausting relationship
I’m at my limits with your moods
They bring me down
So shut in, I stop,
Unable to say a word in front of her
All the guys are blinded by
A single troublesome smile
But as usual, she’s undisturbed.
That girl say

What do I do (Hey baby, what do I do baby)
Even still
(Hey baby, I like you baby girl)

Oh no, oh no, you’re so pretty
I forget all your moods
Oh no, oh no you’re so pretty oh no
Oh no, oh no, you’re so pretty
I forget all your moods
Oh no, oh no you’re so pretty oh no

Down down and down to the up,
Up down and back up again
Why are you acting sulky again
Honestly, it wears me out
But what can I do
So quickly
You’ve whirled all around me
If you just once, if you smile at me just once
I just forget everything else

You’re like a roller coaster ride
You’re like a rollercoaster ride
You’re like, you’re like a scary roller coaster ride
You’re like, you’re like a fun rollercoaster ride

Your unsteady feelings oh oh
Never give up ah ah
Your way your way

A-yo when you’re tired,
Lean on the steady rhythm oh
On the song we dedicate to you oh
Everyone A-yo, Everyone A-yo
A-yo when you can’t sleep,
Shake it off and leave it to the rhythm oh
Look to the open possibilities of tomorrow oh
Everyone A-yo, Everyone A-yo

If a trusted person
One you did the best you could for
Changed like the seasons
Your love bye, goodbye
“I don’t have time”
The lie that you’ve heard and endured every day
Still you believed they would come back
Back then, back then

Even if tears block your sight oh oh,
Don’t become weak ah ah
No way, no way
Even if a sleepless night
Seems to last forever oh oh,
Don’t ever give up ah ah,
Your way your way

A-yo when you’re tired,
Lean on the steady rhythm oh
On the song we dedicate to you oh
Everyone A-yo, Everyone A-yo
A-yo when you can’t sleep,
Shake it off and leave it to the rhythm oh
Look to the open possibilities of tomorrow oh
Everyone A-yo, Everyone A-yo

Ooh, when you’re tired
think of the ones who welcome you
I’m waiting with a smile
for you to come to me hey
Ooh, When you can’t sleep
Look to the open possibilities of tomorrow oh
When this night leaves, for you

Sometimes when walking on a road alone
You happen to stop and look around
If you become burdened by your lonliness
Do what I do, do what, do what I do eh
When you fall asleep alone
You try to doze off, closing your tired eyes
When thinking makes it hard to sleep
Do what I do, do what, do what I do eh

A-yo when you’re tired,
lean on the steady rhythm oh
On the song we dedicate to you oh
Everyone A-yo, Everyone A-yo
Side to side, the sad tears
Side to side, everyone in pain
lean on the steady rhythm oh
Everyone A-yo, Everyone A-yo

Album: 2nd album, Lucifer
Release Date: July 19th, 2010

I love this whole entire album. All of the tracks are of various strengths but amazingly, all of them are at the “repeat 5x” level. Finally, an album worthy of these talented boys/men. Speaking of boy-men, Taemin’s voice has matured so much since “Nuna You’re so pretty.” It’s steady and amazingly versatile.
I’ll be uploading the songs in the order of my favorites. Lucifer would be my 4th favorite.

Lyrics

숨을 곳도 찾지 못해 나는
피하려고 애써봐도
거부조차 할 수 없는
네게 갇혀버린 나
사랑이었다면 정말
사랑했던 거라면
내게 이러지는 말아
Her whisper is the Lucifer
(the Lucifer)

나를 묶고 가둔다면
사랑도 묶인 채 미래도 묶인 채
커질 수 없는데
자유롭게 비워놓고 바라봐
오직 너만 채울게
너만 가득 채울게

거부 할 수 없는 너의 마력은 Lucifer
거부 할 수 없는 너의 마법은 Lucifer
다가서면 너는 마치 천사 같은 얼굴로
나를 사는 이유라 말하고, 말하고

너를 처음 봤을 때 짧은 순간 멈춰버렸지
누가 마치 내 심장을 꽉 쥔 채 놓지 않는 것처럼 (아직까지도)
너는 그렇게 내 맘을 다, 다, 다, 다, 가져놓고
니가 없으면 내 맘이 다 타버리게 만든다

나를 묶고 가둔다면
사랑도 묶인 채 미래도 묶인 채
커질 수 없는데
자유롭게 비워놓고 바라봐
오직 너만 채울게
너만 가득 채울게
Loverhollic, Robotronic,
Loverhollic, Robotronic.

너와 같이 나눈 사랑얘기들
나랑 같은 곳을 바라보는 너
우리 더 이상은 완벽해질 수 없다고 느꼈을 때
나만 쳐다봐. 너는 더, 더, 더, 더, 나를 원해
나만 바라봐. 모든 게, 게, 게, 게, 니가 중심

언제부턴가 조금씩 잘못된 것 같아
이상한 너
날 알던 사람들 모두 하나 둘씩 곁을 떠나
난 가진 게 너뿐이고

나를 묶고 가둔다면
사랑도 묶인 채 미래도 묶인 채
커질 수 없는데
자유롭게 비워놓고 바라봐
오직 너만 채울게
너만 가득 채울게

마치 유리성에 갇혀버린 삐에로만 된 것 같아
절대 만족 없는 너를 위해 춤을 추는 나
훤히 들여다보고 뇌를 만져 바보 된 것 같아
난 점점 네게 끌려가는 것만 같은데
Loverhollic, Robotronic,
Loverhollic, Robotronic.

니가 미운 건 아냐 싫단 것도 아냐
단지 그런 눈빛이 부담일 뿐
어디 안가 이렇게
난 너만 바라보고 기다려 왔잖아

너의 눈빛이 날 사로잡다
날이 지날수록 날카로워졌다
너의 집착에 지쳤다
많이 베었다 맘에 피가 난다
나 쓰러질 쯤 되면 다가와서 천사같이
“사랑해”란 말
누가 진짜 너였는지 알다가도 헷갈리게 만든다.

나를 묶고 가둔다면
사랑도 묶인 채 미래도 묶인 채
커질 수 없는데
자유롭게 비워놓고 바라봐
오직 너만 채울게
너만 가득 채울게

마치 유리성에 갇혀버린 삐에로만 된 것 같아
나를 냅둬 자유로워 질 때
너를 진짜 사랑할 수 있고
훤히 들여다보고 뇌를 만져 바보 된 것 같아
나를 냅둬 질리게도 말고
너를 진짜 바라볼 수 있게

나를 묶고 가둔다면 사랑도 묶인 채 미래도 묶인 채 커질 수 없는데
Loverhollic, Robotronic,
Loverhollic, Robotronic
거부할 수 없는 너의 마력은 Lucifer

Translation

I can’t find a place to hide
Even though I try to run away
I can’t even attempt to refuse her
I’m completely captured
If love really existed
If you really loved me
Don’t do this to me
Her whisper is the Lucifer
(the Lucifer)

If you bind and imprison me
Love is bound, hope is bound
And it can’t grow
Just freely let me go and face me
I’ll be the one to complete you,
I’ll only complete you

Your charm I can’t refuse is the Lucifer
Your magic I can’t refuse is the Lucifer
When I come close, your angelic face says,
it says that I’m the reason you live

When I first saw you I stopped short
It felt like someone grabbed my heart and wouldn’t let go (It still feels that way)
Just like that, you had all all all all of my heart
Without you my heart feels like it turns to ashes

But if you bind and imprison me
Love is bound, hope is bound
And it can’t grow
Just freely let me go and face me
I’ll be the one to complete you,
I’ll only complete you
Loverhollic, Robotronic,
Loverhollic, Robotronic

The stores of love we shared,
you and I faced the same desires
I felt that we couldn’t be any more perfect
Look only at me, you want want want me more
Face only me, everything I do do do is for you

But along the way, something went wrong.
You’ve become strange.
One by one people I knew left
and the only thing I had was you

So if you bind and imprison me
Love is bound, hope is bound
And it can’t grow
Just freely let me go and face me
I’ll be the one to complete you,
I’ll only complete you

I feel like a clown trapped in a glass castle
Dancing forever for your insatiable desires
Like you probed my brain, turning me into a fool.
I continue to be pulled and dragged towards you
Loverhollic, Robotronic,
Loverhollic, Robotronic

I don’t hate you. I don’t even dislike you.
Just the way you look at me make me nervous
I won’t go anywhere
I’ve come all the way here looking at you

Your eyes captivate me,
as the days pass it cuts like knives
I’m exhausted by your clinging,
I’m cut down and my heart is bleeding
As I fall you come to me with your angel face
and say “I love you”
And I can’t tell which person is the real you

If you bind and imprison me
Love is bound, hope is bound
And it can’t grow
Just freely let me go and face me
I’ll be the one to complete you,
I’ll only complete you

I feel like a clown trapped in a glass castle
Leave me alone.
When I feel free I’ll truly love you
Like you probed my brain, turning me into a fool
Leave me alone.
Then maybe facing you won’t exhaust me

If you bind and imprison me
Love is bound, hope is bound
Loverhollic, Robotronic,
Loverhollic, Robotronic
The charm I can’t refuse is the Lucifer

I’m so conflicted about this song but I can’t help but love it. How often do girls in Korea hear that guys are attracted to bigger girls? This song may not be the most tactful, but I think it sends a much needed message to girls that hear it. Additionally, the song itself is adorable.

I can’t seem to find an audio link, but you can hear it and download it here

Lyrics

She’s my type
She’s so tight my style baby

그녀는 마치 솜사탕
너무 달콤한 꿈같아
(이제 U my fat girl)

사람들이 다 놀래대도
내게는 하나 뿐인 my fat girl
사람들이 날 미쳤대도
언제나 사랑스런 my fat girl

사람들 너를 보면 뒤에서 수근수근 대
난 네 앞에만 서면 설렘에 두근두근 대
난 너무 좋은데 사랑스런 my girl
언제나 푸근해서 좋아 my fat girl

여자에게는 외모가 곧 능력인가요
성형을 꼭 해야만 취업이 되나요
모두 비웃어도 널 나는 사랑하는 걸
내게는 가벼운걸 넌 내 사랑인걸

사람들이 다 놀래대도
내게는 하나 뿐인 my fat girl
사람들이 날 미쳤대도
언제나 사랑스런 my fat girl

사람들은 널 놀려대 뭘 먹었니 헤이 뚱땡이
얼굴은 상관 안해 너의 완벽한 궁뎅이
시원한 맥주에 치킨 뜯어
난 네 주변을 멤도는 풍뎅이

여자에게는 외모가 곧 능력인가요
성형을 꼭 해야만 취업이 되나요
모두 비웃어도 널 나는 사랑하는 걸
내게는 가벼운걸 넌 내 사랑인걸

사람들이 다 놀래대도
내게는 하나 뿐인 my fat girl
사람들이 날 미쳤대도
언제나 사랑스런 my fat girl

뮤직비디오 티비와패션쇼
날씬한 여자만 나와요
뮤직비디오 티비와패션쇼
뚱뚱한 여자는 없나요

사람들이 다 놀래대도
내게는 하나 뿐인 my fat girl
사람들이 날 미쳤대도
언제나 사랑스런 my fat girl

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
My fat girl

Translation

She’s my type
She’s so tight my style baby

That lady is like cotton candy
She’s like a sweet dream
(Now you’re my fat girl)

Even if everyone makes fun
You’re my one and only fat girl
Even if everyone says I’m crazy
You’re my lovable fat girl

When other people see you they try to hide
Standing before you my heart beats nervously
I like you so much my lovable girl
I like how you’re so soft and cozy my fat girl

Is a girl’s face her only skill?
Do they need to get surgery to get a job?
Even if everyone mocks me you’re the girl I love
You’re light to me because you’re my love

Even if everyone makes fun
You’re my one and only fat girl
Even if everyone says I’m crazy
You’re my lovable fat girl

People laugh, saying “what did you eat fatty”
Not looking at your face or your perfect booty
Drinking refreshing soju and ripping at chicken
I’m a bug spinning around your periphery

Is a girl’s face her only skill?
Do they need to get surgery to get a job?
Even if everyone mocks me you’re the girl I love
You’re light to me because you’re my love

Even if everyone makes fun
You’re my one and only fat girl
Even if everyone says I’m crazy
You’re my lovable fat girl

Music videos, TV and fashon shows
There are only skinny girls
Music videos, TV and fashon shows
Where are the chubby girls?

Even if everyone makes fun
You’re my one and only fat girl
Even if everyone says I’m crazy
You’re my lovable fat girl

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
My fat girl

First off, I’ve been M.I.A because I’m currently studying for the Bar Exam. It’s hard to have any sort of hobby when the Bar is in your face.

Secondly, because the Bar Exam is next week, I’ll be back and promise to translate every single request on my list. Including the new SHINee album. (I actually groaned out loud when I found out their comeback would be so soon. I was hoping that it would be after my test but oh well.) I don’t care if someone else already translated the songs. I usually find that SHINee’s songs are a bit smarter than others and so susceptible to various interpretations.

So. I’ll be back August with SHINee!
