aaahhh, i loooove Jo Moon Geun (well, and his band of course...) he's an awesome singer n musician, people like him, Park Jung Min, Ladies' Park Seong Jun...are among those i can think of, when i think of very-passionate stage performers who are also powerful vocalists...n i'm just honoured to translate his band's song today though it's hard....i think his band has a different music style from his solo(which are mostly ballads, surprisingly)...and his band is naturally more to rock-ish...which i like...xD...n this song in particular is categorized as folk/indie...glad to see more of his participation in music n lyrics making in the band...this guy(n his band) rocks...

Some notes:

  • i know it sounds weird n many translators usually left this out, but literally -해봐 refers to 'try' n i just like to keep it in even though you can just leave it out n it still means the same...
  • 믿음을 줄게요 - usually, in songs it's asking for the other person to have faith or give faith...so i'm not sure if i get it right or wrong by having the singer saying he will give his trust/faith...but that's what i see so...yeah...
  • anything else just ask...
  • a little trivia: this band used to have a girl(keyboardist), but she's no longer in the profile or pic so i'm guessing she already quit n it's all male band now or maybe she's just currently inactive...idk.....and surprisingly(?) all members except the singer are 90ers...xD
     
  • aaaaaaaaannnnndddd They're having concert in November....why can't i be in Korea in November T^T....all the best for the concert...and if you're in Korea/going there...n wanting some awesomeness....feel free to get your ticket....xD

하루 종일 왜 내 앞에 나타나
haru jong-il wae nae ap-e natana
Why do you keep appearing in front of me all day long
내 안에 울리지 않는 내 마음을 건들였어
nae an-e ulliji anhneun nae ma-eum-eul geondeul-yeoss-eo
You sway my heart and it doesn't ring a bell in me
아직도 내 마음을 넌 왜 모르는 거야
ajigdo nae ma-eum-eul neon wae moleuneun geoya
I don't know why you're still in my mind
지금도 너의 마음을 아직 잘 몰라
jigeumdo neoui ma-eum-eul ajig jal molla
Even now, I still don't know your heart yet


아침햇살에 구름 위를 바라보다
achimhaes-sal-e gureum wireul baraboda
Looking up the sun coming out from clouds in the morning
하늘에 비치는 그대 모습 떠올리며 노래해봐
haneul-e bichineun geudae moseub tteoollimyeo noraehaebwa
Picturing your figure shining in the sky, I try to sing


내 마음을 알아줘요 그대만 웃어줘
nae ma-eum-eul ar-ajwoyo geudaeman us-eojwo
Please know my heart, please give only your smile
걱정하지 마요 Only one ~
geogjeonghaji mayo Only one ~
Don't worry, only one...
그대만 바라봐요 믿음을 줄게요
geudaeman barabwayo mid-eum-eul julgeyo
I'll only look at you, I'll give my faith to you
내 곁에 있어줘 그대는 나만의 Only one~ 
nae gyeot-e iss-eojwo geudaeneun naman-ui Only one~
Stay with me by my side, You're my only one


오 어떡해 너 때문에 넋이 나간 것 같애
o eotteoghae neo ttaemun-e neogs-i nagan geos gat-ae
Oh what to do, because of you, I think my soul is leaving
숨이 차오르고 마음이 타올라서 내가 미치겠어
sum-i chaoleugo ma-eum-i taollaseo naega michigess-eo
I'm out of breath, my heart is on fire, I'm going crazy
그런 생각에 아무 일도 할 수 없어
geuleon saeng-gag-e amu ildo hal su eobs-eo
I never thought anyone could do such thing
별빛에 그대를 떠올리며 내 마음을 고백해봐
byeolbich-e geudaeleul tteoollimyeo nae ma-eum-eul gobaeghaebwa
Picturing you in the starlight, My heart tries to confess

 

내 마음을 알아줘요 그대만 웃어줘

Please know my heart please give only your smile
걱정하지 마요 Only one ~

Don't worry, only one...
그대만 바라봐요 믿음을 줄게요
geudaeman barabwayo mid-eum-eul julgeyo
I'll only look at you, I'll give my faith to you
내 곁에 있어줘 그대를 사랑해요
nae gyeot-e iss-eojwo geudaereul saranghaeyo
Stay with me by my side, I love you

 

나나나나~~~~~ 그대는 Only one

nanananananana nananananana nananananana you're only one
나나나나~~~~~ 그대는 나만의 Only one
nananana~~~~~ geudaeneun naman-ui Only one
nanananananana nananananana nananananana you're my only, only one

 

늦기 전에 지금 날 잡아줘요
neujgi jeon-e jigeum nal jab-ajwoyo
Please hold me now before it's too late
더 늦기 전에 지금 날 잡아줘요 
deo neujgi jeon-e jigeum nal jab-ajwoyo
Please keep holding me now before it's too late
너의 모습에 밤에 잠도 못 이루다
neoui moseub-e bam-e jamdo mos iruda
Even though it can't reach your sleeping figure at night
달빛에 그대를 떠올리며 내 마음을 고백해봐
dalbich-e geudaeleul tteoollimyeo nae ma-eum-eul gobaeghaebwa
Picturing you in the moonlight, My heart tries to confess
