TVXQ / DBSK - Puzzle Translated lyrics!

This is the English Translation of the lyrics to track 5 on New Chapter #1 - A Chance of Love, which is Yunho's song, Puzzle.

An incomplete puzzle
My refound pleasure
Into this previously emptied place
Filling with the pieces called ‘you’
My love it has to be you
If it’s not you, no one can complete me
Like I'm the first man you possessed
Now you hide inside of me
Try to anticipate the more time I’ll show for you
Beginning again movie (action)

You perfectly fill me Right now
Raise ne up higher Right now
Assemble me without empty spaces Right now (Right now)
Right now (Right now) Action

Oh through one puzzle piece (Action)
In the assembled picture (Section)
Towards you On and on (Action)
Oh through one puzzle piece (Action)
In the assembled picture (Section)
Everything Ready for (Action)

Round 2, round 2
This empty place you’ll fill for me, you know
You fit everywhere in the empty space as if it were like cogwheels
The moment I should lose you (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Oh I am a picture that cannot be completed

Every moment, again falling I waited for this
Now you sneak inside of me (Now you sneak inside of me)
Make a sturdier house for the two of us
Now beginning movie (Action)

You perfectly fill me Right now
Raise me up higher Right now
Assemble me without empty spaces Right now (Right now)
Right now (Right now) Action

Oh through one puzzle piece (Action)
In the assembled picture (Section)
Towards you On and on (Action)
Oh through one puzzle piece (Action)
In the assembled picture (Section)
Everything Ready for (Action)

Ooh
As if surely being assembled, us Right now (Action)
Ooh
Dive in more deeply
Right now, right now
I just hope you’re ready for that (Action)

You perfectly fill me Right now
Raise me up higher Right now
Assemble me without empty spaces Right now (Right now)
Right now (Right now) Action

Oh through one puzzle piece (Action)
In the assembled picture (Section)
Towards you On and on (Action)
Oh through one puzzle piece (Action)
In the assembled picture (Section)
Everything Ready for (Action)

With this puzzle called ‘you’
I’ve finally become complete
You’re my last.


Translator's Notes:

Another reasonably straightforward one to translate.  ^_^   It helps that the "She's puzzle pieces filling me up to make a complete picture" metaphor remains consistent, it really helps with translation!

1.  "Like I'm the first man you possessed / Now you hide inside of me" - This was the hardest line for me, it's really confusingly ordered.  Anyway, that's my best guess.  The verbs are "홀리다" (to be possessed, bewitched by etc) and "숨다" (to hide), but I guess it makes sense if she's puzzle pieces filling him, by extension she is getting inside him so-to-speak, like a (demonic) possession...

2. "Raise me up higher" - there's no "me" in this line (although this song is pretty good with pronouns in general!) so who knows what is actually being raised up higher.

3. "You fit everywhere in the empty space as if it were like cogwheels" - That sounds weird but it's pretty much literally what it says.  There were a lot of "like" and "as if" type words in that sentence - more than the English can really handle.  Basically, cogwheels fit together real nice with no gaps, and so do these pieces filling the space?

Yunho - DROP MV beginning rap part translation!

The lyrics I found for DROP (my translation here) did not include the rap at the start of the MV, and that's like the entire first minute!  So it would not do.

(And quite seriously you cannot watch DROP enough times, it's EPIC.  *__*)

So, I scoured the internet for a transcription of the rap, and here is my translation so you guys can enjoy it too.

A new nation has begun
This is King's Speech

The gloomy future,the future that did not come back to me
The belief that I can change it, is that appropriate?

I need to know, this future masked by despair
That it's as dangerous as a military service is clear

This whirlpool-like reality facing me, from that time already
I saw I'd finished preparations to deal with it a long time ago

It isn't fair.  Going nowhere.
The courage to face fear started from here

Only imitators of the unusual, unable to read common sense, remain
At that time it was wrong, and now it is just normal

It isn't fair.  Going nowhere.
The courage to face fear started from here.


Translator's notes:

I was in kind of a hurry to translate when I did it and now I've lost the Korean version so I can't check my translation before posting.  T_T

Anyway, I still think this is important if you want to understand the whole lyrics.  It's a song about political disillusionment and the desire for change.

U-Know Yunho - DROP translated lyrics!

Still not fully recovered from having Yunho and Changmin back from the military this summer.

OMG I LOVE THEM

SO MUCH

So!  Obviously the first thing I do when I see the full MV for DROP (AWESOME btw, make sure you've seen it!) is seek out the lyrics and make an English translation.

And here it is:

Drop it low
The future is still veiled, still can't be seen, but
This passionate life-living era
This arid earth only inherited by this generation

In wickedness opening your eyes and closing your mouth
Courage thrown away for you is the result
Now as you see, as it was predicted
Now, on the fallen away bare ground
From the foundations, bit by bit we again-

I no longer find miracle
Written above the dust, a prophesy-like oracle
Even through just a small breath it will be destroyed
The already crumbling belief is shaking

The word "definition", the word I saw before in a textbook
The majority are dancing to the beat
When again, the completely thrown away
You that is truth, will you find me?

I can’t explain hard this feeling
While having lost gravity, a floating feeling
The barren future, if it is a legacy
Break it all, and begin

If you are dreaming of resurrection
If you see opportunities while wearing a mask of goodness No
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low

Eventually the previously stopped clock goes my way
Watch – another world pioneered by me
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low

Don't ignore it anymore, critical
That becomes a poisoning indulgence
The arid ground made by ignoring
In reality I can rest without shade

I won't, can't fight this feeling
The regret it had to be like that at that time
Open the doors closed before, like a flowing river
I go to seek my place

If you are dreaming of resurrection
If you see opportunities while wearing a mask of goodness No
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low

Eventually the previously stopped clock goes my way
Watch – another world pioneered by me
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low

It's a more painful reality, but
If you cross this mountain now
Sometime you will reach it
Even being joyful, the ocean of all things good

It started with candles
Emotion is not controllable, you don’t
Don't stop on the path going to the future
Don't enter on the rough road again
If you miss this opportunity
Now too hard to handle
Changing the future, now my first action
My attitude

 If you are dreaming of resurrection
If you see opportunities while wearing a mask of goodness No
(I see your attitude)
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low

Eventually the previously stopped clock goes my way
Watch – another world pioneered by me
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low
(Into the grave)

Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low
Now stop.

What I haven't done is rewatch the video with the lyrics and see if all of them are included.  Like, a lot of the song is rap, and that often gets missed out?  There was one bit at least (count down to the dance part near the end) I didn't think was here, but yeah.  It was just a countdown.

(UPDATE!  I have since found the rap part from the start of the MV and made a translation of that which I have posted separately, because that bit?  It's much more than just a countdown.  ^_~)

No time for translator's notes now, but anyone with questions I am more than happy to answer.  Just leave a comment!  ^__^
