2 korean songs to introduce

was feeling bored and tried to search cast of running men on youtube and this led me to these 2 rather nice songs sang by the group leessang, of which one of the member, gary, is part of the permanent cast in running men.

First song,

헤어지지 못하는 여자 떠나가지 못하는 남자 

The girl who can't break up, The guy who can't leave

정인:
헤어지지 못하는 여자, 떠나가지 못하는 남자
사랑하지 않는 우리 그래서 no no no no no no
(x2)

개리:
우린 삼백만원짜리 중고차로 함께
어디든 다녔지 남부럽지 않게 
팔짱을 끼고 한장의 사진에 추억을 담고
밤잠을 설쳐가며 서로를 알아가고
내 꿈은 너의 미래가 되어
우린 서로를 따르는 한쌍의 아름다운 새였어
채워져도 부족했던 사랑 
다시 태어나도 만나고픈 사람
하지만 세월 앞에서는 역시 
서로의 욕심을 이기지 못해
욕실에 홀로 앉아 우는 너의 울음 소리 
나를 쏘아보는 눈초리
날이 갈수록 더 난 또 이별을 생각해 하루종일

길:
태양은 뜨거운데 니 맘은 얼어있네
누구의 잘못인지 사랑하긴 하는데 baby
모든게 그대론데 우리는 변해있네
누구의 잘못인지 사랑하긴 하는데 baby

정인:
헤어지지 못하는 여자, 떠나가지 못하는 남자
사랑하지 않는 우리 그래서 no no no no no no
(x2)

개리:
때론 너무나 바빠 너에게 미안해
지갑에 돈을 채우고 시간을 내
티나게 사랑을 표현 못해도
너와 함께 영화를 보고 밥을 먹으면
니 기분이 풀릴거라 여기던 
내 생각은 또 빗나가
거리를 거닐며 너에게 장난을 쳐도
진부한 사랑 놀이 
사랑은 한때 사랑은 이별과 한패
이별은 사랑을 데리고 가는데

길:
태양은 뜨거운데 니 맘은 얼어있네
누구의 잘못인지 사랑하긴 하는데 baby
모든게 그대론데 우리는 변해있네
누구의 잘못인지 사랑하긴 하는데 baby

정인:
헤어지지 못하는 여자, 떠나가지 못하는 남자
사랑하지 않는 우리 그래서 no no no no no no
(x2)

길:
사랑은 한때 사랑은 이별과 한패
이별은 사랑은 데리고 갔네
(x2)

개리:
버리면 버려지는게 사랑이라면 얼마나 좋을까
(모두 꿈인데 니 손을 잡은 건)
원하면 얻어지는게 사랑이라면 얼마나 좋을까
(모두 꿈인데 나는 벗어나지 못하네)

정인:
헤어지지 못하는 여자, 떠나가지 못하는 남자
사랑하지 않는 우리 그래서 no no no no no no
(x2)

no no no~ no no no~ 
no no no~ no no no~ 
oh yeh~

개리:
사랑에 묶이는 남자는 약해 빠진걸까
사랑을 굶기는 남자는 무능력한걸까
비밀을 숨기는 남자는 나 뿐인걸까
사랑 대체 왜 변하는걸까

English Translation: 

The girl who can’t say good bye
The boy that can’t leave
The two of us are no longer in love
So no no no no no no (x2)

Anywhere together in a 3000 dollar used car
Without a care in the world
Linking arms, committing memories in a photo
Understanding each other in our sleepless nights
My dreams became your future
A pair of beautiful birds chasing each other
A love I could never get enough of
A person I want to meet when reborn
But in front of this thing called time
We can’t win against our greed
Sounds of your tears alone in the bathroom
The suspicious gazes focused on me
As the days go by I think of breaking up again

The sun is hot but your heart is frozen
Whose fault is this? But I love you baby
Everything else is the same but we changed
Whose fault is this? I still love you baby

The girl who can’t say good bye
The boy that can’t leave
The two of us are no longer in love
So no no no no no no (x2)

I’m so busy that I feel guilty
I fill my wallet with money and make some time
Even though I don’t express my love
When I have dinner and watch a movie with you
I hope you might feel better but
I continue to be in debt to my thoughts
As I walk and tease you
it’s all a played out game
Love is passing,
Love and heartbreak are one and the same
Heartbreak takes love and goes away.

The sun is hot but your heart is frozen
Whose fault is this? But I love you baby
Everything else is the same but we changed
Whose fault is this? I still love you baby

The girl who can’t say good bye
The boy that can’t leave
The two of us are no longer in love
So no no no no no no (x2)

Love is passing,
Love and heartbreak are one and the same
Heartbreak takes love and goes away. (x2)

How nice would it be if love
was something that could be earned?
(It’s all a dream, holding your hand)
How nice would it be
if love was something to get by wanting it?
(It’s all a dream but I can’t escape)

The girl who can’t say good bye
The boy that can’t leave
The two of us are no longer in love
So no no no no no no (x2)

Are men caught in love done so because of weakness?
Are men starved of love not worthy of it?
Are men that keep secrets bad men?
Why is it that love changes?

Not sure if the english translation is accurate, but the song is really catchy. maybe someday i'll revise a my korean and try to sing along~

Second song,

TV를 껐네

Turned off the TV

There're lyrics in video so i'll just save the trouble of pasting them here. 

I was captured by the song title, but by the sheer number of hits on this video on youtube while listening to the song above.

when i clicked on the link, i was further captivated by this description of the video...

"The song "Turned off the TV" -- an radical expression through conversational lyrics between a man true to his instincts and the woman's logical persuasion"

I have no idea what idea what it means. so, while the song is playing in the background in a language which i could only catch some simple phrase that i know, i went in search of the meaning behind the meaning of the song. however, all i got was just similar meanings of the description. it was until i saw a comment which said that the song is about the guy wanting to have sex but the girl just wanna cuddle.

it struck me. oh~

and this youtube video has the chinese translated lyrics so it was more clear of what the lyrics were about, or what the story that the song wants to convey. felt that the lyrics were quite nicely written. the desires of the man, the persuasion of the lady.

well, it's been quite a while.

i'm still in the process of finding a job.

was wondering what to do and suddenly joining the police became a viable option.

masters in forensics psych, then joining the psych department in police or bsu?

seems like another long journey~

had a 2 weeks vacation, although the first week was spent at sungei gedong. but it was fun spending time with the guys again. was quite a relaxing incamp with nothing much to do. 

 the second week was spent at phuket and then bangkok with the guys. i personally felt phuket was a more fun place than bangkok, filled with possible activities and the beach. a pity we didnt spend much time at the beach due to little time we have left after the day activities and also when we had, the weather became a problem. the rain just kept coming and going off randomly. bangkok was more of shopping shopping and shopping. the visit to the floating market was a downer. the temple we visited, wat pho, was quite boring with the statues until we found out the main attraction; the reclining buddha. and it was huge! overall, good trip still.

in a month time, will be leaving for beijing with yun na~ another one week! actually the main thing isn't because it's a holiday for me. the main thing is spending special time and having memorable events with someone i love.

drew up the blue print for wu gui's platform. so the problem now is, how to make it? hahaha... i guess i'll just anyhow whack lah. it's been on my mind for so long, finally it's starting to materialize.

ippt deadline is coming soon also. i believed august 1st is my last day.

and i'm running damn slow.

still rather taken aback by the fact that i ran silver last year. 

how did i do it? 

although i did visualize her standing at the end waiting for me, but it didn't really work much this time in camp. hahaha.. looks like motivation is one thing, another thing is having the physique to do it too. 

i can't fail. i can't fail. i dont want 20 RT sessions. 

life's rather relaxing, but i'm running out of money for my life to be like that.

plus it doesn't feel good to be worrying about my future also.

it's a period of rest, and unrest.
