사람이 사랑하면 안돼요 english lyrics - salam-i salanghamyeon andwaeyo english lyrics

Just getting to some requests ^^

While it seems like SoundCloud is the only place to find the official audio (and I always strive to link as directly to the artist as possible) I’m a big fan of this video by NONNO that utilizes footage from the 1998 Korean movie Christmas in August. Those traveling to Gunsan can still see the set of the photo studio that appears in the video.

한국어:

2009년 여름 좋아하던 짝이 있었어요

책상 위에 머릴 포개고 훔쳐 뵀었던

선영이는 잘 지낼까요

보고 싶던 얼굴들은 오밤중에 가끔 나타나요

여름밤에 이른 미래를 걸고 점쳤던

옛 친구들 잘 지내나요

사람이 사랑하면 안 돼요

매번 내 모든 걸 앗아가요

내 무덤은 내가 파야 잃을게 없으니

더는 사람이 사랑하면 안 돼요

그대를 보고 있으면 왠지 나와는 너무도 달라서

그 입술에 귀 기울여 들어보려 해도

반대쪽으로 흘러내려요

사람이 사랑하면 안 돼요

매번 내 모든 걸 앗아가요

내 무덤은 내가 파야 잃을게 없으니

더는 사람이 사랑하면 안 돼요

더는 사람이 사랑하면 안 돼요

English:

There was someone I liked in the summer of 2009

I buried my head on my desk and stole a peek—

I wonder how Seoyeoung is doing?

Sometimes in the middle of the night I think of the faces I miss

They tried to predict their young futures in the summer night—

My old friends, how have you been?

I won’t love anybody

Everything is always snatched away from me

There’s nothing I’ll lose when I’m dead and buried

so I won’t love anybody anymore

When I look at you, somehow you’re so different from me

When I turn my ear to those lips and try to listen,

it just flows out the other side

I won’t love anybody

Everything is always snatched away from me

There’s nothing I’ll lose when I’m dead and buried

so I won’t love anybody anymore

I won’t love anybody anymore

Got this as a song request and turns out it doesn’t actually have an official audio? Just available for listening on Youtube and his official Soundcloud page too! I’m honestly surprised and also very impressed that this video has 4.9 million views like wow… how is it i had never heard his song nor this artist before though :O The song reminds me a little of Daniel (who sang Lily by the Valley), a mix of Gogang or Crucial Star, and maybe a tad of The Black Skirts and sagong or 92914? And his voice reminds me a bit of Kim Youngheum??? HAHAHA not to say that this singer/song doesn’t have his own colour but if you’re into those artists i mentioned then i think this artist is definitely worth checking out!!

The soundcloud album cover is lowkey scary so i just used the 4.9 million view youtube video cover ahahah. Also was going to add it into my existing soundcloud playlists and realised that i had actually already added it into one of my playlists quite a while back? So i guess i have actually heard this song before and just kind of forgot about it since… LOL

사람이 사랑하면 안돼요 english lyrics - salam-i salanghamyeon andwaeyo english lyrics

2009년 여름 / 좋아하던 짝이 있었어요
in the summer of 2009, there was someone that i liked
책상 위에 머릴 포개고 / 훔쳐 봤었던 / 선영이는 잘 지낼까요
seonyeong who i would hide my head on the desk and sneak peeks at – i wonder if she’s doing well

보고 싶던 얼굴들은
the faces that i missed
오밤중에 가끔 나타나요
they sometime appear in the middle of the night
여름밤에 이른 미래를 / 걸고 점쳤던 / 옛 친구들 잘 지내나요
the old friends who bet on their early futures on a summer night – i wonder if they’re doing well

사람이 사랑하면 안돼요
people should not fall in love
매번 내 모든 걸 앗아가요
it takes everything away from me every time
내 무덤은 내가 파야 잃을 게 없으니
i must be the one to dig my own grave to have nothing to lose
더는 / 사람이 사랑하면 안 돼요
people should not fall in love anymore

그대를 보고 있으면
when i look at you
왠지 나와는 너무도 달라서
because you’re somehow so different from me
그 입술에 귀 기울려 / 들어보려 해도
even when i raise my ears to those lips to try and listen
반대쪽으로 흘러내려요
it just comes out the other way*

사람이 사랑하면 안 돼요
people should not fall in love
매번 내 모든 걸 앗아가요
it takes everything away from me every time
내 무덤은 내가 파야 잃을 게 없으니
i must be the one to dig my own grave to have nothing to lose
더는 사람이 사랑하면 안 돼요
people should fall in love anymore
더는 사람이 사랑하면 안 돼요
people should not fall in love anymore

*T/N: this is like the English saying “In one ear and out the other” to refer to people who don’t pay attention to the thing they hear/who don’t take up people’s advice or for people who quickly forget things that are told to them
