TVXQ / DBSK - Love Line (평행선) Translated lyrics!

TVXQ are back!!!

Thank you world for the miracle that is Yunho and Changmin!   m(_ _)m

Because they are my ONE TRUE LOVE I will of course be translating all the songs off the album, but let me begin with the English translation of track one, Love Line.

When I think about you
I think about how
All day long, even though I try agonising over it
I don’t know you well
This not knowing if I know
You are a very special thing
In each day, many times
You again put me to the test

Woo woohoo We’re very different, but
Why am I attracted like this?
Woo woohoo Even though I understand with my head
I cannot explain it with words

You and I, parallel lines
We walk then separately
At the end of the road, we’ll find a road to walk together
Now, you and I
We’re a little clumsy, but
You gradually come a little closer to me
I gradually go a little closer to you

Dozens of times in one day
Every day you ask
Where on earth, how
Can we check that it is good

Dozens of times in a day
I answer it
What on earth in this liking heart
Needs a reason?

Woo woohoo Even though we’re very similar
I don’t know why we differ that way
Woo woohoo However much I think about it
It’s something I cannot understand

You and I, parallel lines
We walk then separately
At the end of the road, we’ll find a road to walk together
Now, you and I
We’re a little clumsy, but
You gradually come a little closer to me

The endless parallel lines
Gazing into the far distance
At the edge of sight, the moment our eyes meet
That way, you and I
We’re a little slow, but
You gradually come a little closer to me
I gradually go a little closer to you

You and I, although we’re very similar
I don’t know why we don’t know each other this way
You and I, even though we’re very different
Why are we attracted to each other this way?

You and I, parallel lines
We walk then separately
At the end of the road, we’ll find a road to walk together
Now, you and I
We’re a little clumsy, but
You gradually come a little closer to me

The endless parallel lines
Gazing into the far distance
At the edge of sight, the moment our eyes meet
That way, you and I
We’re a little slow, but
You gradually come a little closer to me
I gradually go a little closer to you

Woo hoo hoo

Translator's notes:

This song was pretty ok to translate, actually.  And it's awesome to sing along to as well, not that I got distracted at all while I was translating... ^_^;

But 평행선 from the title actually means "parallel line(s)", so the whole "love line" thing is a metaphorical thing and it's not literally a song about, idk, palmistry and the "love line" in your hand or whatever.

Always happy to answer questions about my translations though, if you have them! (^_^ )/
