아이유 - 그렇게 사랑은 (IU - Love Alone) Korean - English Translation

Music : IU - Love Alone

그렇게 사랑은 간절히 불러보지만
Though I call out my love this desperately
아무런 대답이 없는
which has no response
그렇게 사랑은 아무리 다가갈수록
Though I approach my love this desperately
멀어져 가는
which recedes far away
얼마나 사랑은 수많은 사람들 중에
Among so many people does my love
오직 그대 하나
Solely you my love
얼마나 사랑은 걷잡을 수 없는 
How much does the love becomes a wind
바람이 되어
that can not even be controlled
가질 수 없는
and can not be taken

꿈결이 너를 내게 데려온
The dream that brought you to me
밤새 처음 들은 목소리가 웃음이 되고
The voice I hear for the first time in this night becomes a smile
어느새 앞서간 너의 뒷모습
Your appearance that in no time went ahead of me
잠시도 멈추지 못해 내 마음 터질 것 같아
As it can not stop even for a moment that my heart is about to break

너를 사랑하는 혼자만의 사랑이라도
Even though this is my lonely love that I love you alone
내 맘 하나 가득 소중한 모든 것인 것을
which is my in my full heart precious everything
너를 사랑하는 혼자만의 사랑이라도
Even though this is my lonely love that I love you alone
시들지 않는 영원한 것을
which is fade less and eternal

남겨진 하늘 검은 밤바람
Remanent sky and dark nigh breeze
떠나간 너의 기억 눈부시게 밝혀져있고
The left memory of you have been dazzling brightened
모두 사라질 세상 속에서 
In the world that everything will vanish
널 향한 조급한 그리움 더욱 커져만 가는
The longing toward you becomes more impatient as time goes by

너를 사랑하는 혼자만의 사랑이라도
Even though this is my lonely love that I love you alone
내 맘 하나 가득 소중한 모든 것인 것을
which is my in my full heart precious everything
너를 사랑하는 혼자만의 사랑이라도
Even though this is my lonely love that I love you alone
시들지 않는 영원한 것을
which is fade less and eternal

어쩌면 사랑은 닿을 수 없는 너의 손
Perhaps love is your unapproachable hand
애써 잡으려 하는
which I exert myself to approach
어쩌면 사랑은 있지도 않은 곳으로
Perhaps love is my effort to find which does not
찾아가려는
even exist

[My personal] Top 5 Korean hip hop rapper

Although there are many great rappers in Korea, I chose rappers that are on the top on their specialty.

I have criteria for choosing 'Top 5 Korean hip hop rapper'.

김보경 - 혼자라고 생각말기 (Kim Bo Kyung - Don't think that you are alone) Korean - English Translation

Music : Kim Bo Kyung - Don't think that you are alone

지치지 않기 포기하지 않기 어떤 힘든 일에도 늘 이기기
Don't get tired. Don't give up. Always overcome hard things
너무 힘들 땐 너무 지칠 땐 내가 너의 뒤에서 나의 등을 내줄게 
When too hard, when too tired, I will let my back be your shelter
언제라도 너의 짐을 내려놓아도 된다고 
You can always put your burden down

혼자라고 생각말기 힘들다고 울지 말기
Never think your alone. Never cry because you are tired
너와나 우리는 알잖아
You and I, we all know
니가 나의 등에 기대 세상에서 버틴다면
If you endure living this world with my help
넌 내게 멋진 꿈을 준거야
You gave me wonderful dream

성급하게는 생각하지말기 정말 잠이 올 때면 그 자리에 기대어
Never think too quickly. If you are really tired, then let your
너무 지친 니 몸을 잠시라도 쉬게 해줘 
tired body lean on and rest just for a moment

혼자라고 생각말기 힘들다고 울지 말기
Never think your alone. Never cry because you are tired
너와나 우리는 알잖아
You and I, we all know
햇살이 참 좋은날에 그런 날에 하루라도
On a nice sunny day, only just for a day,
또 다른 우리가 되어볼까
shall we be another us

오늘과 다른 내일을 기대하며 멈춰 설 수는 없어
We can't just stop expecting different yesterday

혼자라고 생각말기 힘들다고 울지 말기
Never think your alone. Never cry because you are tired
너와나 우리는 알잖아
You and I, we all know
니가 나의 등에 기대 세상에서 버틴다면 
If you endure living this world with my help
넌 나의 지지 않는 꿈을 준거야
You gave me wonderful dream

우리라는 건 니가 힘이 들 때 에 같이 아파하는 것
Being us means ,when we are tired, feeling pain with each other 

이지 - 응급실 (IZI - Emergency Room) Korean - English Translation

Music : IZI - Emergency Room , Lee Hong Gi - Emergency Room

후회하고 있어요 
I am regretting
우리 다투던 그날 
The day we fought
괜한 자존심 때문에 
Because of useless self-esteem
끝내자고 말을 해버린 거야 
I told you to finish
금방 볼 줄 알았어 
I thought we will soon see again
날 찾길 바래왔어
I wished you to look for me
허나 며칠이 지나도 
However, even many days have passed
아무 소식조차 없어 
I can't here any words
항상 내게 너무 잘해줘서
You might thought I was easy 
쉽게 생각했나 봐 
because I was too nice to you
이젠 알아 내 고집 때문에 
Now I know that you were tired
힘들었던 너를 
because of my stubbornness
이 바보야 진짜 아니야 
You idiot. It's really not true
아직도 나를 그렇게 몰라 
Don't you know me yet
너를 가진 사람 나밖에 없는데
I am the only person who engage with you 
제발 나를 떠나가지 마
Please don't go away from me
언제라도 내 편이 돼준 너 
You who always were my team
고마운 줄 모르고 
The behaviors I did puerilely
철없이 난 멋대로 한거 
without knowing how thankful you are
용서할 수 없니 
Couldn't you forgive me
이 바보야 진짜 아니야 
You idiot. It's really not true
아직도 나를 그렇게 몰라 
Don't you know me yet
너를 가진 사람 나 밖에 없는데 
I am the only person who engage with you 
제발 떠나가지 마
Please don't go away
너 하나만 사랑하는데 
Please don't go away leaving me
이대로 나를 두고 가지 마 
I only love you
나를 버리지 마 
Don't throw me away
그냥 날 안아줘 
Just hug me
다시 사랑하게 돌아와
Come back so that I can love you again

이소라 - 바람이 분다 (Lee So Ra - Wind) Korean - English Translation

Music : Lee So Ra - Wind

바람이 분다 서러운 마음에 텅 빈 풍경이 불어온다 
The wind is rising. In my sad heart, empty landscape is rising.
머리를 자르고 돌아오는 길에 
On my way from cutting my hair
내내 글썽이던 눈물을 쏟는다 
I cry throughout with gathered tears
하늘이 젖는다 어두운 거리에 찬 빗방울이 떨어진다
The sky is getting wet. Cold rain drop drops on the dark street 
무리를 지으며 따라오는 비는 
Flocking and following rain
내게서 먼 것 같아 이미 그친 것 같아
seems to be far away, seems to be end already 

세상은 어제와 같고 시간은 흐르고 있고
The world is same with yesterday and the time is running 
나만 혼자 이렇게 달라져 있다 
I am the only person who changed like this
바람에 흩어져 버린 허무한 내 소원들은 
My vain wishes that are scattered like wind
애타게 사라져 간다 
are nervously disappearing

바람이 분다 시린 향기 속에 지난 시간을 되돌린다 
The wind is rising. In dazzling fragrance, I turn back to my past times
여름 끝에 선 너의 뒷모습이 
Your back image standing in the end of summer
차가웠던 것 같아 다 알 것 같아 
was cold. I think I can understand all
내게는 소중해 했던 잠 못 이루던 날들이 
The days I couldn't sleep was
너에겐 지금과 다르지 않았다 
to you nothing different with these days
사랑은 비극이어라 그대는 내가 아니다 
Love is misery. You are not me
추억은 다르게 적힌다 
Memory is written differently

나의 이별은 잘 가라는 인사도 없이 치러진다 
My farewell is taken without saying goodbye
세상은 어제와 같고 시간은 흐르고 있고 
The world is same with yesterday and the time is running
나만 혼자 이렇게 달라져 있다 
I am the only person who changed like this
내게는 천금 같았던 추억이 담겨져 있던 
The memories that were like thousand gold to me
머리 위로 바람이 분다 
is rising on my head like wind
눈물이 흐른다
My tears flow

임재범 - 낙인 (Lim Jae Bum - Stigma) Korean - English Translation

Music : Lim Jae Bum - Stigma , Lee Hong Gi - Stigma

가슴을 데인 것 처럼
Like the heart got cut
눈물에 베인 것처럼
Like it got cut by tears
지워지지 않는 상처들이 괴롭다
My indelible wound is painful
내가 사는 것인지 세상이 나를 버린건지
Is it that I am living the world or is the world throwing me away
하루가 일년처럼 길구나
A day is as long as an year
그 언제나 아침이올까
Will the morning come as always

메마른 두입술 사이로
Between my parched two lips
흐르는 기억의 숨소리
flows my memory's breathing
지우려 지우려 해봐도
Even if I try to erase and erase
가슴은 널 잊지 못한다
My heart can't forget you
서러워 못해 다신 볼 수 없다 해도
Even if I can't ever see you again
어찌 너를 잊을까
how on earth can I forget you

가슴을 데인 것 처럼
Like the heart got burnt
눈물에 베인 것처럼
Like it got cut by tears
지워지지 않는 상처들이 괴롭다
My indelible wound is painful
내가 사는 것인지 세상이 나를 버린건지
Is it that I am living the world or is the world throwing me away
하루가 일년처럼 길구나
A day is as long as an year
그 언제나 아침이 올까
Will the morning come as always

지울수 없는 기나긴 방황속 에서
In the unerasable long wanders
어찌 너를 잊을까
how can I forget you
가슴을 데인 것 처럼
Like the heart got burnt
눈물에 패인 것처럼
Like it got cut by tears
지워지지 않는 상처들이 괴롭다
My indelible wound is painful
내가 사는 것인지 세상이 나를 버린건지
Is it that I am living the world or is the world throwing me away
하루가 일년처럼 길구나
A day is as long as an year
그 언제나 아침이 올까
Will the morning come as always

작은 신음조차 낼수없을 만큼
As much as I can not even make small moan
가난하고 지친 마음으로 나를 달랜다
I calm myself with my poor and tired heart
이걸로 안되면 참아도 안되면
Even if this can't handle, even if it doesn't solved with my tolerance
얼어붙은 나의 발걸음을 
With what should I turn
무엇으로 돌려야 하나
my frozen foot steps

가슴을 데인 것 처럼
Like the heart got burnt
눈물에 베인 것처럼
Like it got cut by tears
지워지지 않는 상처들이 괴롭다
My indelible wound is painful
내가 사는 것인지 세상이 나를 버린건지
Is it that I am living the world or is the world throwing me away
하루가 일년처럼 길구나
A day is as long as an year
그 언제나 아침이 올까
Will the morning come as always
그 언제나 아침이 올까
Will the morning come as always

신용재 - 가수가 된 이유 (Shin Yong Jae - The reason why I became singer) Korean - English Translation

Music : Shin Yong Jae - The reason why I became singer

인터넷에 나를 쳐보면 이제 내 노래가 나와
When I search me on the internet, my songs come out
내가 왜 굳이 이렇게 가수가 된지 넌 알까
Would you know why I obstinately became singer

유명하고팠던 이유는 오직 단 하나뿐이니까
The reason why I wanted to become famous is only one
니가 날 보고 날 알아듣고 내 생각하라고
To make you see me, understand me, and think me

TV에 나와 노래해 혹시 니가 볼까봐
I sing on the Television in case you might see me
날 들으면 날 본다면 날 찾아줄까봐
Because if you hear me, if you see me you might one day look for me
기를 쓰고 노래해 그 옛날의 널 위해
I sing with my every effort for the past of you
그때 다 하지 못했던 내 맘을 담아서
I sing like this filling all of my feeling
이렇게 노래해
that I couldn't tell you

못해부터 살다가까지 니가 없던 건 없으니까

솔직히 터놓고 말해 모두 너와 내 얘기니까
Honestly, these are all the story of you and me

내 노랠 듣고 내가 울고 내가 슬퍼하고
You would know the reason why I go crazy
혼자 미치는 나의 이유를 넌 알 것 같은데
I listen to my song, I cry, I sorrow

TV에 나와 노래해 혹시 니가 볼까봐
I sing on the Television in case you might see me
날 들으면 날 본다면 날 찾아줄까봐
Because if you hear me, if you see me you might one day look for me
기를 쓰고 노래해 그 옛날의 널 위해
I sing with my every effort for the past of you
그때 다 하지 못했던 내 맘을 담아서
I sing like this filling all of my feeling

내 아픔과 내 눈물과 내 진심을 다해
If I send my feeling in my whole heart
내 맘 전한다면 너에게 들릴까
with my tears and my pain can you hear

이 몇 분짜리 노래가 별거 아닌 가사가
I pray so hard so that this
니 귓가에 니 마음속에 울려 퍼지기를
short song and this useless lyrics
미치도록 기도해 제발 니가 듣기를
can resonate through your ears
이런 내 맘이 들리면 너 돌아오라고
I sing with my tears for you to come back
눈물로 노래해
if you can hear my feeling
