Kim Jaejoong - Good Luck translated lyrics

English lyrics translation of Good Luck, Track 5 on Jaejoong's album NO.X.


Written and composed by Jaejoong himself!  <3




Ah, sour, the honeyed words you give
I have had a taste until I am bored of it
Although it makes me laugh, I must bear it, I must bear it
Meanwhile, I snicker


You just appear tidy, although you only rub by
Making eraser dust
Look at me, even if I am a little dirtier, my conscience
Is pretty like it has finished a bath, isn't it?


Don't look at me unkindly like that
Over and over again I am wrong
Over and over again you say you are right (please don't do that)
You aren't Confucius or Mencius or someone, are you?
Just Young Gu or Maeng Gu (it suits you well)
So smile, and live being yourself
Yes, I can see your furture
Living so you will be pitied


Wow, you seem confused, this way and that way
Meddling in things, instead, let's do well
Look at me, although I am a little lonely
My perseverance is like a lucky dol harubang god, isn't it?


Don't look at me unkindly like that
Over and over again I am wrong
Over and over again you say you are right (please don't do that)
You aren't Confucius or Mencius or someone, are you?
Just Young Gu or Maeng Gu (it suits you well)
So smile, and live being yourself
Yes, I can see your future
Living so you will be pitied


Arranging your own pocket,
That world is a good one, but
Arrange yourself from the inside
I will give you just one more word in sentence


Don't look at me unkindly like that
Over and over again I am wrong
Over and over again you say you are right (please don't do that)
You aren't Confucius or Mencius or someone, are you?
Just Young Gu or Maeng Gu (it suits you well)
So smile, and live being yourself
Yes, I can see your future
Living so you will be pitied




Translator's Note:  Did I say Yoochun's lyrics were hard to translate?  I TAKE IT BAAACK~~  Jaejoong's lyrics are just baffling.  (_ _); 
I have seen a couple of other translations about the place and man, are they different, so it can't just be me.  So that's something, I guess.  ^_~


Anyway, I did my research for you guys!


Young Gu and Maeng Gu were slapstick characters played by comedians Shim Hyong Rae and Lee Chang Hun in Korea in the 90s. ^__^ 


Dol harubang are stone figures found on Jeju island.  They are thought to represent gods, used to protect from demons and give fertility.
