Shut Up: Lyrics edition

I haven’t done one of these in a while, but Shut Up: Flower Boy Band seems like a good drama for lyrics translation. It’s a show that has done a good job incorporating music into its storytelling; it’s not hit-you-over-the-head with the songs, but allows them to carry some of the narrative. Plus, well, I just love this drama. (Here’s the handy song lyrics tag to check out previous posts.)

SONG OF THE DAY

Sung Joon – “무단횡단” (Jaywalking)
[ Download ]

This song is something of a centerpiece of the drama so we’ve all heard it a lot, and, if you’re like me, been humming it on repeat for weeks. I took it for granted that Byung-hee’s inspiration was obvious, but it occurred to me later that depending on the translations (or lack?, perhaps), the muse connection may not be clear. We know it’s the song he began composing when he saw Su-ah, but the lyrics do nicely capture the moment, and the upbeat music suits the message.

The “jaywalking” is, of course, the big moment between Su-ah and the band, after Byung-hee declared he’d make the first girl to cross the street his muse.

“Jaywalking” The moment I first see you, you turn my head, time stops Right now, I can’t even see if the light’s green or red I don’t need anything My heart just heads toward you Oh, my beloved I run blindly ahead and hold you Just as I am, like this I run without fear and hold you When I see you, so beautiful, my, my, my heart goes thud

“무단횡단” 널 처음 본순간 머리는 핑돌고 시간은 멈추고 지금 파란불이든 설령 빨간불이든 보이지가 않아 난 아무것도 다 필요없고 그냥 내 가슴이 너를 향한다 내 사랑하는 그대여 무작정 달려가 너를 안는다 나 생긴대로 이렇게 겁없이 달려가 너를 안는다 아름다운 널 볼때면 내 내 내 가슴이 턱

I don’t care about rules, what anyone says, or whoever blocks me Even if I collapse or shed tears, I’ve only got one path I don’t need anything My heart just heads toward you Oh, my beloved I run blindly ahead and hold you Just as I am, like this I run without fear and hold you When I see you, so beautiful, my, my, my heart goes thud My heart goes thud My heart goes thud My heart goes thud My heart goes thud

룰따윈 몰라 난 그누가 뭐래도 나를 자꾸 막아도 쓰러져 버리든 눈물이 흐르든 내 갈길은 하나다 아무것도 다 필요없고 그냥 내 가슴이 너를 향한다 내 사랑하는 그대여 무작정 달려가 너를 안는다 나 생긴대로 이렇게 겁없이 달려가 너를 안는다 아름다운 널 볼때면 내 내 내 가슴이 턱 내 가슴이 턱 내 가슴이 턱 내 가슴이 턱 내 가슴이 턱

Sung Joon – “오늘은” (Today)

This is a rip of the song from the latest episode, because I haven’t seen an official release of a studio version. Hopefully one is forthcoming, because I love Sung Joon’s voice. It’s not polished, but it has a lovely rawness that works with the story and with the character. (Not to mention he’s got that awesome deep speaking voice, too.)

“Today” I wanted to tell you just once the love I just can’t hold back All the time I looked your way I want to tell you everything Today, I want you Today, I want to hold you in my arms The more I look at you, the more tears fall behind your back

“오늘은” 한 번은 말하고싶었어 차마하지못한 나의 사랑 너의 길을 바란 나의 모든 시간은 한 번은 모두 말 하고싶어 오늘은 널 갖고싶다 오늘은 널 품에안고싶다 널 바라고 널 바랄수록 눈물이 흐른다 너의 등뒤로

Min Kyung-hoon – “그저…눈물만” (Only tears)

The above song isn’t actually an original song, but based on an existing track by rock-ballad singer Min Kyung-hoon from a 2010 album. The drama’s version reworks the lyrics, but basically kept the song intact. I think both versions are great, and sad in their own ways.

“Only tears” I thought foolishly that I was the only reason I was hurting I didn’t realize that without you, I hurt more The words I said as I sent you away It just means I won’t see you again It just means we won’t meet again It just means I won’t call your name anymore	“그저…눈물만” 바보같은 생각을 했어 나 때문에 아픈 줄만 알았어 니가 없으면 더 아픈 것을 모르고 그렇게 널 보내며 했던 말 그저 못 보는 것뿐이야 그저 못 만나는 것뿐이야 그리운 너의 그 이름을 다신 못 부르는 것뿐이야
You gave me your unchanging love You protected my changing heart You moved quickly so I wouldn’t see your tears and laughed for my sake, through the end It just means I won’t see you again It just means we won’t meet again It just means I won’t call your name anymore	내게 한결같은 사랑을 주고 변한 내 맘까지 다 감싸주고 눈물 보일까봐 서둘러 일어서는 끝까지 날 위해서 웃던 널 그저 못 보는 것뿐이야 그저 못 만나는 것뿐이야 그리운 너의 그 이름을 다신 못 부르는 것뿐이야
They’re just tears that fall They don’t know how to stop, and keep falling It’s just that I’m recalling your gentle face Because I wasn’t able to keep our love Because I turned our love sad, and wronged you That must be why I have to be in such pain The love I long for Goodbye now	그저 눈물만이 흐르네 그칠줄 모르고 막 흐르네 다정한 너의 그 얼굴을 한번 떠올려 본 것뿐인데 사랑을 지키지 못해서 사랑을 슬프게 한 내가 잘못해서 이렇게 아파야 하나봐 그리운 내 사랑 이젠 안녕…

Kim Min-seok (aka Kyung-jong) – “어쩌다 널” (Somehow, You)

Kim Min-seok’s claim to fame (or at least mainstream visibility) was through participating in the reality/audition show Superstar K 3, which has launched a number of new stars. (Seung-yoon from High Kick, for instance, advanced a good way into Season 2.) He gets his own track on the OST, and this song is just starting to get played in the series, featured in the latest episode.

“Somehow, You” When the cold wind blows when it blows so fiercely you can hardly breathe I worry if it’s bearable because it’s hard for me to endure I don’t know what love is Because I don’t know, I keep shrinking away Suddenly you’re at my side, in my arms Suddenly, love, my love Somehow, maybe I fell in love with you or somehow, maybe you fell in love with me Even if I’m crippled, in this moment I’ll laugh, in front of you I’ll laugh	“어쩌다 널” 차가운 바람이 불때 숨쉴틈없이 매섭게 매섭게 불어올때 견뎌 낼만 한건지 자꾸 걱정이 되요 나조차 견디기 힘들어서 사랑이 뭔지 몰라서 너무 몰라서 자꾸나 자꾸 뒷걸음쳐도 어느새 넌 내곁에 어느새 넌 내품에 사랑이 어느새 내 사랑이 어쩌다 널 사랑하게 된건지 어쩌다 넌 나를 사랑한건지 상처가 나 걷지못한대도 나 이순간 웃어줄래요 그저 그대앞에 웃어줄래요
What happens with us now? Should I give up? How could I, in front of you Should I tell you to take care? To meet a good man? I can’t, I can’t do that now Somehow, maybe I fell in love with you or somehow, maybe you fell in love with me Even if I’m crippled, in this moment I’ll laugh, in front of you I’ll laugh	이제 우리 어떻하죠 포기할까요 어떻게 어떻게 당신앞에 그냥 잘 지내라 좋은 사람 만나라 못하죠 이젠 할수가 없죠 어쩌다 널 사랑하게 된건지 어쩌다 넌 나를 사랑한건지 상처가 나 걷지못한대도 나 이순간 웃어줄래요 그저 그대앞에 웃어줄래요
It’s okay, now I’ll become your own clear sky Even if love pains me Even if love makes you sad Even if I’m crippled, in this moment I’ll laugh now It hurts, but I love you forever I’ll hold you, I’ll hold you forever	괜찮아요 이제 내가 맑게 개인 하늘이 되줄테니 사랑이 날 너무 아프게 해도 사랑이 널 슬프게 만들어도 상처가 나 걷지못한대도 나 이순간 웃어줄래요 이제 아프지만 그댈 사랑하는 나 영원히 안아줄께요 그대 영원토록 안아줄께요
