TVXQ / DBSK - Broken translated lyrics!

English lyrics translation of Broken, track 3 on New Chapter #1 - A Chance of Love.

This song has a bit of a different vibe to the first two tracks, as you can see from the lyrics.

Uh oh oh oh

Uh oh oh oh

While smiling like any other time, like we’ll see each other again

Sending each other away and

Like it was something mature

On the outside, I patiently endure you

All the familiar things

As they become strange

I will waver a little, but…

It will all pass away, just to the extent I will surely endure it

Frequent showers that wet me and stop

Under them, You and me

It will all pass away, just to the extent it will be surely forgotten

Now perfectly the words of parting

Match You and me

We were broken

We were broken (We were broken)

We were broken

It will be forgotten, right?

Even the act of trying to change for each other

Only, it just got us to that point

And the things we utterly could not understand

Before the coming farewell, they’re nothing

Only left as regret

The past figures

Some day becoming dull

It will all pass away, just to the extent I will surely endure it

Left in my memories

The image in time

Within it You and I

It will all pass away, just to the extent it will surely be forgotten

As if it’s natural

Going to find that natural place You and me

We were broken

We were broken

We were broken

(To the extent I calmly send you away)

We were broken

We were broken

We’ll drift apart, right?

It will all pass away, just to the extent I will surely endure it

Frequent showers that wet me and stop

Under them, You and me

It will all pass away, just to the extent it will be surely forgotten

Now perfectly the words of parting

Match You and me

We were broken

It will all pass away, just to the extent I will surely endure it

Left in my memories

The image in time

Within it You and I

It will all pass away, just to the extent it will surely be forgotten

As if it’s natural

Going to find that natural place You and me

We were broken


Translator's Notes:

1. The Korean title, 다 지나간다, does not mean "broken" (that comes from the English in the lyrics I guess) but "It's all passing and going" or, in better English something like "It's all gone".

2.  "Just to the extent" is something that gets repeated kinda a lot and that's annoying because it's hard to express well in English.  It comes from "만큼", which means variously "as much as", "to the extent that" etc.

3. "Now perfectly the words of parting / Match" - this verb (어울리다) is often used for clothes, like if they match or to say if something suits a person.  It can also be used of people as in for people to "mix" or indeed be well suited as a couple etc.  So!  It could be that the words of parting "match" (each other, if they've both reached the point of wanting to say them) or they "suit" or whatever because now is the right time for them?

4. "Going to find that natural place" - I think the "natural place" here means going back to where they began / where they're comfortable (in other words, back to being apart and their separate lives).
