Translation Challenge #1 - Fated To Love You - Ailee's Only You
As you can see, this blog is slowly becoming a FTLY fan blog hahaha. I'm absolutely in love with the show!!
I'll be back with book reviews / Korean lessons soon, but for now, thought it'll be fun to post my first translation piece! Translated Ailee's Only You (working title), which is my favourite song from FTLY's ost, a couple of days ago just to put my Korean to the test. I think the song will be released tomorrow so I'll be able to compare my translation to the more "professional" ones to see how good (or lousy) my Korean is now.
Korean lyrics (based on the video above):
Goodbye my love
가슴은 알고 있나봐
터질듯한 이 그리움
감춰봐도 감출 수가없는
내 심장이 된 그대
Oh you
가질수 없어도
만질수 없어도
그래도 난 관찮아
한 없이 아파도
또 눈물이 흘러도
그대만 행복하다면
웃을수 있다면 난
지울수록 더 그리워지겠죠
오늘보다 더 눈물 흘리겠죠
운명처럼 내겐 다시 없을
단 하나 only you
언젠간 만날 그날을 그대를
기다려요
잠시 안녕처럼
Goodbye my love
눈물은 기억하나봐
그대 자릴 또 채워와
지워봐도 지울수가 없도
내 전부가 된 그대
Oh you
볼 수가 없어도
들을 수 없어도
그래도 난 괜찮아
이별이 슬퍼도
가슴이 시려도
그대만 행복하다면
웃을 수 있다면 난
지울수록 더 그리워겠죠
오늘보다 더 눈물 흘리겠죠
운명처럼 내겐 다시 없을
단 하나 only you
눈물 많은 그대 행복하길
한번쯤은 나를 생각하겠죠
가끔씩은 우리 추억하겠죠
그거면 돼
또 언젠간 만날 그날을 그대를
기다려요
잠시 안녕처럼
Goodbye my love
Translation:
Goodbye my love
I guess my heart knows
This yearning that is bursting
Even if I tried, I can’t hide
You who are in my heart
Oh you
Even if I can’t have you
Even if I can’t touch you
Even then, I’m still okay
Even if it hurts a lot
Even if tears fall again
As long as you are happy
I will be able to smile
The more I try to forget, the more I long for you
I will probably cry more than I did today
As if by fate, the only thing I will never have again is you
I am waiting for the day when we will meet again
Just like a moment’s goodbye
Goodbye my love
I guess my tears remember
You coming again to fulfill your place
Even if I tried, I can't forget
You who became my everything
Oh you
Even if I can't see you
Even if I can't hear you
Even then, I'm still okay
Even if this star is sad
Even if my heart grows cold
As long as you are happy
I will be able to smile
The more I try to forget, the more I long for you
I will probably cry more than I did today
As if by fate, the only thing I will never have again is you
With my tears, I wish you happiness
Think of me at least once
Reminisce about us sometimes
Even if it becomes like that
I am waiting for the day when we will meet again
Just like a moment’s goodbye
Goodbye my love
