PENOMECO - 했을 걸 (Feat. Hoody) (Remember Me) [translations w/ lyrics]

So I haven't posted to this blog in about... 4 years. I decided instead of stressing myself over translations and subs, I would just translate whatever I want. And since one of my favorite artists is Penomeco, I decided to translate some songs from his new album. Big thanks to my good friend Narago for looking over my translation. Hangeul and romanized lyrics are under the cut as well. Do not repost my translations without permission.

PENOMECO -- “했을 걸 (Feat. Hoody)” (Remember Me)

English translation

It looks like we're not too smart Why is it so hard to be loved? We've been messy, even up until our farewells Why is it so hard to love?

I'm so sorry I couldn't say anything But it wasn't because of my pride or anything I'm not falling down for you

I wish time would go faster I can't do anything I can't hold onto you I'm not falling down for you

I can't be like you it's true Whole lotta distance what can I do  In the end we both left each other with scars But I prepared myself for them long before they were imprinted

Going onto the next let's do it Even as time passes, it ends up being the same I'm going to go far away To a place where there's no trace of you

It looks like we're not too smart Why is it so hard to be loved? We've been messy, even up until our farewells Why is it so hard to love?

Remember me For a long long long long long long time Remember me For a long long long long long long time Remember me For a long long long long long long time Remember me For a long long long long long long time

Yeah, a long time ago, you probably Cared about us, more than yourself  In our time together we became more distant I couldn't do anything

I only blamed you while I had my own faults too I blurted out a lot of words and carelessly turned around And faintly saw our end in your two eyes

I feel like it's over

It looks like we're not too smart Why is it so hard to be loved? We've been messy, even up until our farewells Why is it so hard to love?

Remember me For a long long long long long long time Remember me For a long long long long long long time Remember me For a long long long long long long time Remember me For a long long long long long long time

Remember me Remember me

Hangul

우린 똑똑하지 않은 것 같애  사랑받는 게 뭐 이리 어렵니 우린 이별도 끝까지 더럽네 사랑하는 게 왜 이리 어렵니

내가 많이 미안해  아무 말도 못 한 게 자존심 따윈 아니지  I'm not falling down for you 

시간에게 부탁해  아무것도 못 하게 내가 널 잡지 못하게  I'm not falling down for you

I can't be like you it's true  Whole lotta distance what can I do  결국엔 서로가 상처만 남았고  푹 패이기 한참 전에 미리 준비라도 했을걸 

Going onto the next let's do it 시간이 지나도 결과는 비슷했을걸 난 멀리 떠나려 해 네 흔적이 없는 곳에

우린 똑똑하지 않은 것 같애  사랑받는 게 뭐 이리 어렵니 우린 이별도 끝까지 더럽네 사랑하는 게 왜 이리 어렵니

Remember me  오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 Remember me  오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 Remember me  오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 Remember me  오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 오래

그래 아마 한참 전부터 너는 우리보단 너를 더 생각했어 더 어색해져 가는 둘의 시간 속엔 아무것도 할 수 없어

네 탓밖에 못한 내 탓도 있어 그동안  수많은 말을 내뱉곤 무책임하게 돌아서고는 난 보여 네 두 눈에서 우리의 끝이 희미하게

I feel like it's over

우린 똑똑하지 않은 것 같애  사랑받는 게 뭐 이리 어렵니 우린 이별도 끝까지 더럽네 사랑하는 게 왜 이리 어렵니

Remember me  오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 Remember me  오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 Remember me  오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 Remember me  오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 오래

~Afterword “A Story of Something Too Hideous For the Eyes”~

Since my original post got deleted somehow (either accidentally by me or taken down... I'll never know) I'm reposting the afterword for Kagerou Daze II -a headphone actor-! I'm currently working on a solution to fix my Kagepro translation masterlist (since apparently links on long pages on blogs don't work) so I'll make a separate post when I'm done with it.

Thanks go out to my wonderful friends at Mekameka Subs and as always, thanks to the lovely jorwil-07.

Hover over asterisks (*) to see translation notes.

For people reading on things like tablets or mobile devices, I'll have the translation notes at the bottom as well!

　　 My name is Jin. 　　 Did you enjoy Kagerou Daze II -a headphone actor-? 　　 While I was writing this novel, just about every day was extremely hot, well over 30°C. It was in an environment similar to the world of writing. So every day they let me do my writing while eating pizza, with the air conditioner turned down to 23°C. 　　 I feel like I was leeching off of the other people at the office, so I apologize.

　　 Oh, that’s right, in the afterword of my previous work, “Kagerou Days -in a daze-,” I said “If this is unsuccessful, next time I’ll have to write a romantic school comedy!” but thankfully, I received a much higher response than expected, so thank you (smiles). 　　 So, that’s not the reason of the romantic school comedy stuff this time around. 　　 The reason is simply because I had a hunger for love, so please rest assured! 　　 This time, I was working on writing a novel, a single, a live performance, and other things at the same time, so by the end I was pretty much on the verge of going crazy.

　　 No no, it wasn’t too much work at all. Really. 　　 Just thinking about writing the third volume is enough to make me throw up everything I ate into the toilet, but since I’m looking forward to writing it, there’s no helping it!

　　 Slowly, my HP gauge has been reduced, recently changing from yellow to red. 　　 I’m writing this afterword immediately after finishing the second volume while half asleep, so I keep thinking, “What if I mess up and write some dirty jokes on accident here and there……” and worried my tits off thinking about it.*

　　 Well, I think my editor (ikebo*) is planning on completely cleaning it up by the time it gets to the readers, so it’s fine. Definitely. (※Editor’s note: To respect the wishes of the writer, everything has been published as it was originally written)

　　 Speaking of dirty jokes, in the previous volume’s afterword I kept cracking up over “tchin-tchin* (a kind of rose).” Apparently my mother (age 52) went around my hometown saying, “I’m going to do my best to promote it a lot by saying things like ‘My son wrote a novel!’” so because of those jokes, whenever I got a phone call from her, I got a huge headache.

　　 However, when my little sister (age 18) said “My big brother’s novel would be a good read for my friends’ children!” I actually felt strangely excited. 　　 Friends of my little sister, are you reading this? I’m the big brother (grins)

　　 Speaking of my little sister, she said that I’m very similar to Shintarou. 　　 I disagreed with her because in all honesty, I think Shintarou is a considerably unpleasant character. I wasn’t happy at all with her comparison, but then I started to change my mind.

　　 I thought, “Isn’t this a good opportunity?”

　　 In the novel, Shintarou got along really well with the ladies, maybe in the real world, I can get flirty with girls too. Yeah, clearly there’s no way I can go wrong there! 　　 Actually in the first volume, Shintarou’s computer broke, and recently my computer also broke from a mysterious error all of a sudden. I think because of this, we have a very deep connection. 　　 In this novel, Shintarou had some pretty good things happen for him. I bet that pretty soon I’ll get a ticket to go to the amusement park too. I’m really excited!

　　 On that note, I’ve been thinking, “It’s about time that a cute girl who would never disappear pops up on my screen and starts talking to me.” So every night, I’ve been pulling down my pants and waiting patiently…… For some reason, she still hasn’t appeared. I really wonder why.

　　 But the other day, no matter how many times I kept closing them, these ads for adult sites kept popping up. 　　 Although not what I had in mind, I’ve been keeping myself sane by talking to those ads. Thank you, God.

　　 Ah, with this, I believe it’s time to say goodbye. 　　 I really had all kinds of support this time; thank you very much. And from here on out! Thank you for your support! 　　 I’ll see you in the afterword of the third volume as well! Bye now!

                          Jin (Shizen no Teki-P)

translation notes:

1*: This is a joke that was hard to translate into English with the same meaning… 「不安な気持らでいっぱい」 means to be filled with nervous feelings about something and he mixed it with the phrase 「いっぱいおっぱい乳輪丸です」, 「いっぱいおっぱい」 meaning “lots of boobs” and 「乳輪丸」 meaning “nipples.” so all together, 「不安な気持らでいっぱいおっぱい乳輪丸です。」 Thanks to jorwil for the great translation of it ★

2*: i.e. “ikemen voice,” with ikemen meaning handsome, hot, etc.

3*: chinchin, as you may know, is Japanese slang for penis. Little did I know that there’s also a rose called “tchin-tchin” as well. You can assume why he’s cracking up about it.

Hey guys, I know it’s been a long time since I’ve translated anything Kagepro-related, but I definitely want to finish what our team started at some point. That being said, I was aware that with long pages on Tumblr blogs, links don’t work anymore (e.g. my Kagepro t/l masterlist) so I’ll figure out a new page so that all the links will work so that everyone will have translation links again. I’ve been busy with other translation and subbing work among other things so I would greatly appreciate your patience and support. Thanks!

[kanopener]

your link kano(.)tumblr(.)com/post/53012064098 for the novel translation "a story too hideous for the eyes" is not working even when replacing kano with kanopener

Hello, thanks for telling me!

The original post was supposed to link to my main blog instead of this one since I had originally posted there but it seems that it’s been deleted (or I accidentally deleted it??) so I’ll repost it on here in a little bit!

Hi!! Can you sub BTS 1st Japan Tour 2015 Wake Up: Open Your Eyes? Especially their ment in between their performances and also the making of the concert. The making had been subbed by another person (Kimmy Yang) but I found out her videos had been taken down so I could not find it anywhere anymore.T.T Can you please sub it? It's okay if you take a long time to finish subbing it, I just wanna be assured that someone is subbing it so I can just wait patiently. Pretty please help me?

Hello! Sorry for the late message >_< I’ve only found the concert DVD and not the making videos so if you could help me with finding those, I would be more than glad to sub it!!! I appreciate your patience in advance if/when I get to it because not only am I currently doing works with bts-trans and miscellaneous translation groups, the DVD contents are altogether rather long (。┰ω┰。)

So again, please message me again if you happen to find a rip of the CD with the making videos! I’ll continue to search for them too!

EDIT: I found a rip of the entire DVD so I will get to it in between works, thanks for being patient ♥

Hi, Lam. It's nice to fouund your acc. I wanna ask, could you translate BTS kayounenka on stage concert? There is someone (tumblr acc: hellosarang) who uploaded it. But she didn't translate the video since it was japanese. Thank you

Hello, thanks for the message!I just sent her an message asking if I can use her videos to sub over. Just to clarify, would you like me to translate just the “Talk” parts of the DVD? Or are there more parts you’d want me to translate from it? I haven’t looked through the entire concert so I’m not sure when they’re talking...

BTS - OUTRO: House of Cards [translations w/ lyrics]

A little late to the party. I’ve listened to the Outro for 花様年華 pt. 2 about a million times and for the same reason I translate anything that already has a translation going around, I went and translated it, even if no one is going to pay attention to my translations... Of course, since I don’t know Korean too well I translated mostly from this Japanese translation. Hangul and romanized lyrics are under the cut as well.

Bangtan Boys -- “OUTRO: House of Cards”

English translation

It’s risky again, it's dangerous again So bad (why) Even if we endure it, even if we hold it up So hard (hard) We can't do it anymore

Even though I knew it, I couldn't stop it No way, no way, no way, it's falling

The more that time passes, The more it falls apart No way, no way, no way, it's collapsing again

A house made of cards And even though we can see the end, even if it collapses A house made of cards And even if it's an empty dream, we're foolishly going to stay in it like this just a little longer

As if there's no such thing as tomorrow, As if there's no such thing as a next time, Right now, everything in front of me except for you Is a terrible, pitch-black darkness I've always said it, That in the end, we're no good But even so, I keep hoping If I'm with you to the very end, then I'm okay

Even though I knew it, I couldn't stop it No way, no way, no way, it's falling

The more that time passes, The more it falls apart No way, no way, no way, it's collapsing again

A house made of cards And even though we can see the end, even if it collapses A house made of cards And even if it's an empty dream, we're foolishly going to stay in it like this just a little longer

BTS - I Need U (Japanese ver.) [translation w/ lyrics]

The Japanese version of I Need U is out! So naturally the first thing I did when I woke up was listen to it and then translate it. If you want to pre-order any of the 4 different versions of the Japanese album, I suggest you look at the post I made about each version here!

Kanji and romaji are also under the cut.

Credit is always very much appreciated!
